Naboths life is a living testimony. He has broken all boundaries that other men would say are impossible. And am glad through Nabwiso Films the whole world can get to know that Yes it is possible to exceptional with disabilities. Thank you
Woww this is so inspiring. It gives one hope that no matter what situation youre in God has got great plans for you. May God keep blessing you Naboth.
It's one thing being told to keep confident and another thing someone pointing out at your disability. Bullying. It pierces through self-confidence like a hot needle through butter. I like the way this short but pretty inspirational film Naboth boldly says Disability is not inability. Congratulations to the Nabwiso's upon choice of a such relatable theme and going ahead to depict it in an emotional educative way.

This is a good a piece go Mathew Nabwiso
I have had an opportunity to interract with this great man. His mind is above what is acceptable of man. He is so resourceful. I can listen to him for a whole day because of the knowledge bombs he keeps throwing. He is an epitome of the saying that disability is not inability. The talents within him are overwhelming. He has a plethora of them. Besides he endowed intellect he is a down to earth man with a very positive mind and attitude. With his story and all the experiences he went through having a positive mind would be a hard thing but he is a man of strength hope and faith. No wonder he moves moutains. I can go on and say alot about him because for the two days I have met him in my life i have not known a man like him before. I have tasted his kindness and it assures me that he gives more than he receives from God. God bless you Dr
Naboth is a braliant man and a God fearingit's my humble prayers in whatever is doing to be successful.
I am a PWD and i am so grateful and blessed to know Dr Naboth. He inspired not to give up on my dreams and now i am a banker. I believe i can achieve anything as long as i focus.
Honored to participate. Thanks
Great work my fellow... disability isn't inability
Naboth's story is uplifting and inspiring. Shows how he did not let his being different did not deter him from pursuing excellence. Also his effort to help others shows a spirit selflessness and sacrifice that our country really needs. Great story to tell and highlight Matthew Eleanor.
