"A little piece for you who’ve been feeling low recently..."

These words are spoken by the tender voice of Kunbi, a 27-year-old Hongkonger who comes from Nigeria, Africa. He is known as “African Prince” on social media.

As a child, Kunbi dreamed of becoming a doctor. But due to limited employment opportunities in his homeland, he followed in his father's footsteps and moved to Hong Kong 11 years ago, after completing secondary school. At first, he lived in a partitioned flat in Sham Shui Po. Knowing little the city and having no friends, he felt lonely. Whenever he felt down, he would go to the football pitch nearby. There, he managed to make friends with some locals.

To integrate into the local community, Kunbi took Cantonese classes. Later, he went on studying for a diploma in mechanical engineering during the day and working as a security guard at night. Today, he’s a full-time engineer. Outside of work, Kunbi enjoys exploring authentic local food spots with his girlfriend Zoe. In their free time, the couple captures moments from their daily lives and shares them on social media. With his unique style of Cantonese voiceovers, Kunbi hopes to spread positivity to others.

EPISODES

Seeing Humour in My Failing Vision

Kelly Kong is a retinitis pigmentosa patient in her twenties. Very little is known about this disease, except that it is inherited. At first, a patient's night vision deteriorates and peripheral vision diminishes. Only a small portion of central vision remains. Eventually it leads to total blindness.

When Kelly was eight years old, she went home with her mother at night when she noticed that she could hardly see. Even with streetlights, it was still too dark for her. Kelly and her family avoided talking about it and Kelly would pretend to be ignorant about it. She tried to use her slow reaction to cover the fact that her eyesight was deteriorating. Yet in her heart, a lot of distress precipitated. She eventually suffered from depression and anxiety disorder.

In the summer 2022, her condition took a turn for the worse. She almost lost her vision completely, but it made her face her disease squarely. She decided to make good use of social resources to solve the problems brought about by her eye disease. She reached out to medical social workers and the Society for the Blind for assistance. She now attends classes at the rehabilitation centre to learn braille, orientation and mobility, cooking, etc. to prepare herself for being totally blind in the future.

Her mindset has also changed a lot in recent years. She started to talk about her disease in a witty and humorous way, making fun of herself for her blindness. Such sense of humour has enabled her to accept her situation in a different way. She no longer sees herself as a weak or dependent.
