My father is survived by twenty four children and four wives . Iam the fifth in my father’s and fourth to my mother.
I attended my local primary school before I moved to the town of Kabala to study for my secondary level education .
At the age of sixteen after my O levels i moved to the town of Makeni which is eighty miles away from my village of Dogoloyia to study for my A levels .
It was during my stay in Makeni that I realized the full extent of the corrupt system in my country that is denying a whole generations of young people to attain their full potential because of the corrupt system of government in the country .And more importantly because the teachers refused to conduct classes because they are denied their salaries or someone in the ministry of education have pocketed their monies.
Hence I became politically active by joining an under ground student group called the green book .The aim of this student movements was to call to attention for the government to undertake to tackle corruption in the country.
After the out brake of the war I moved to London where I live with my partner and son.
I want to thank my family, friends in Gala , and I want to especially thank Kim Stalinstas for encouraging me from the outset to publish my work. Also to Louise Perry who read some of the draft and gave me her feed back and to many others. And to Nobina Islam , Grace Gardiner ,Udesh , Naz ALI and to Islam Box who have put up with me constantly talking about my book project.voir moins
