• A physically challenged man has recounted his struggle with social stigma and rejection from most families
• Samuel revealed that he is single because of his appearance and tribe, but says he has accepted himself
• He advised that being ''disabled does not mean your brain doesn’t function. You can still do something with your hands''

A physically challenged man, Samuel, has recounted his struggle with social stigma and rejection from most families because of his appearance and tribe.

Samuel desires to settle down, but the families of the women he showed interest in rejected him because of his disability.

In an interview with SVTV Africa, he told DJ Nyaami that he has proposed to several women, but their families and friends got them to decline his love proposal.

The father of one disclosed that the families of the women said they can't accept him because he's Ewe. ''But mostly, it is because of my condition,'' he told DJ Nyaami.
