I was born in Nigeria, but I moved to Holland to live with my Mum when I was about eight years old. I lived with my Mum for about two years and then at the age of ten I was brought to England by a stranger that was supposed to look after me and my sister.
They did not.
They abandoned us in the streets of East London and left my sister and I to fend for ourselves. A security guard at the building we were supposed to stay in helped us get in contact with my mother, who then made arrangements with a woman she just met to take us in.
