In a new interview with Ynaija, award-winning music producer Cobhams disclosed how much he enjoys cooking despite being blind.
“Well I have learnt to drive for one! I live a normal life and I do
all the things I need to do. Spending more time abroad has made me a lot
more self-dependent than I have always been. I like to prepare my son
for school in the morning, that is exciting. My wife has been teaching
me how to cook, sometimes I am the one who watches over the lasagna she
just tells me how many minutes I should leave it in the oven for. I have
been learning to boil rice, turn pounded yam. In Nigeria I have a cook
and driver but abroad it is pretty much do it yourself so I am learning.
We assemble our son’s toys together. I have learnt to be the guy who
whips out the tool box and fixes stuff around the house, be the handyman
where necessary and I love the feeling it gives me. I don’t know that I
do them because I am blind, I do them because they have to be done.
There is no time to prove to anybody what I can or cannot do.” he said!
