Ade Adepitan, presenter, former wheelchair basketball player and British junior power lifting champion and tennis contender, was 15 months old when he got affected by polio.

It made his left leg of no use. His parents realized Ade cannot thrive in Nigeria and decided to shift to Britain. He was three years old when he along with his family shifted to Britain.

He was with his friends when physiotherapists saw him in a Tesco shopping trolley being wheeled by his friends. He also had an interest in the same, but not his parents who wanted normalcy in his life.

They have dreamt of good job for him and most importantly, normalcy in his life. So, when they got to know that he wanted to become wheelchair basketball player, they were quite angry.

"My parents thought me getting into a wheelchair was like me giving up on walking. And they were worried about the stigma. People in wheelchairs out and about was a completely new thing", said Ade.

Ade was 16 when he left home and played the wheelchair basketball and later became presenter. Recently, he has shot documentary on polio in Nigeria. The condition has left him angry as well as nostalgic.
