Can you describe your childhood to us?
Ok I don't remember All of it but i shall try my best
I was Born on 12'7'1981- in Shotly Bridge Hospital in Consett Durham Newcastle, We didn't have a Family Hope in the uk in those days but from the Hospital I was taken back to my Grandmothers House.
My Father was not in the UK at the Time but he flew in from Nigeria not long after I was Born, to London.. So My Mother Yemi, 2Sisters Joy&Linda My Aunty Alison and I Found Our was to London to see My Father Tunde. We stayed in serviced apartments of a While 3Weeks maybe until We went to to Nigeria.
The Charismas of 1982 as a Family We spent in Cyprus.
In 1983 My Sister Amanda was Born, Around this Time Our Family Home in Nigeria was Being built ... My Father is an Engineer & Built the house with help from Others.
Amanda was Born in Bristol Southmead Hospital & We were renting a House in an Area Named Chipping Sodbury, and the Road was KingFisher Road. In October of 1983 My Mother , Amanda & Myself went to Nigeria .. for a few Months, My Older Sisters stayed in the uk and were looked after by My GrandMother Pamela as they were going to school.

In 1984 We bought a House and moved out of rented accommodation. The House was 44 Mallard Close Chipping Sodbury.. I has Friends with Other Boys on Mallard Close and close by.. they were Grant Parker, Daniel Kite, Michael Jennings, Matthew Car. I was the Youngest which Subconsciously felt very refreshing because in Reality My Being is the Oldest.
So as boys we had fun, then as A Family We moved to Nigeria because Our House was ready.
In Nigeria, I went to a school in a House.. I made Friends. My Home Life was spent watching tv, playing, I made Friend with Mohammed Who worked as are Gateman, Sacca Who worked as Our Driver & Sam Who Worked and are stuwad.
We used to Run around play Football and Catch.
I remember getting beaten when My Sister Linda was swinging a Key around on a String in the Piano Room and it hit One larg Orb lights which fell to the Ground and smashed. My Father came to investigate and either assumed or was told in was Me and a got smacked.
I had a Girlfriend called Bethan, and close Friends Machick and David... and then it was Time to go back to England.

Back at 44 Mallard Close the First thing I remember was Seeing Grant and having some fallingout I took my dap off and hit if in the Face with it, and to Balence the Equasion of Violence Begetting Violence He hit Me in the Face.. I ran back to the House crying that would have been 20Meters away... but it felt a lot longer. Not on the same day I remember I was running and Jumping on to One of the Couches in the Sitting Room … with my Run up in from the Dinning room … Maximum 30 foot run up and I was running and jumping over and over again and then I ran fast Jumped in slow-motion, It felt like I was in the Air for 10Seconds which I probably was.
Well we all made up, and Now Im about 5 and starting to Ride bikes .. going to primary school which was Raysfield. Hear I made Friend with Boys and Girls My Own Earthly Age.
I spent Time drawing Running around and having Fun with Friends...I was invited to Friends Houses and they came over to Mine. Then I went to Jounor School and was in the same School as My Older Friends and they used to play KisChase with the Older Girls which I though was not for Me... But Grant did want his Girlfriend to Kiss me..but I was shy.

Around 8, 9,10 Bike riding was the thing to do along with Skateboarding, Rollerbooting... and smoking, staying out all night, Milk Bottling(steling Milk in the morning) tieing sting to people doors and hiding and knowing no doors from a distance, spitting off bridges, drinking, steeling, lighting Fires in Forests, putting aerosols in and watching them explode.
I remember on One instance the can exploded and we could all smell burning and My Friend Grant had a hole in his tracksuit bottoms where the can went through.

Then I went to boarding School, it was a Quaker School the was Meeting For Worship on Wedensdays... It consisted of Students and local people sitting in the assembly hall quietly and every so offten SomeOne would stand up and share what was on their mind… Once I stood up and said “There is a Light at the End of Everybodies Tunnel Please don’t turn it out” I was paid 10Pounds to say it by Lucy Brown one of My First Girl Friends in that school, we used to walk around like a Train I would always be behind her with my arms around her waist.
I had quite a few Girlfriends while I was in school and got a bit of a bad name for Myself in the Process.
I remember One Bright Windy day Asher Clark (from the Clark Shoes Family) and I were walking back to the boarding house and as we were crossing the Gateway One of the schools car parks I shouted “Wind I Command U Holt” and it did and Asher and I both looked at Each Other, and said Nothing that I can remember. Asher was One of My close Friends in school another was Alexy Western, Sam Olliff, Greg Mullins and Steven Becket.
