Speaking on how Mrs. Asuquo's story was adjudged the best of the

how Cobhams turned his disability to a success story. On how she
managed to raise him, despite the inherent challenges."
Mrs Asuquo said, "It wasn't easy watching Cobhams do
chores around the house and run errands like my other children but I
resolved to make him as independent and
capable of achieving anything he sets his mind to do. I showed him
where his box of clothes was and would ask him to go get his clothes
after bathing him."
She also added that as he grew up, his love for music started coming
to the fore as he would beat on anything he could lay his hands on, so
I encouraged him by buying him musical toys.
