“For whatever pain that you feel, I feel even more, there is nothing more in my heart than love, progress, and positive support. There is no other motivation for me granting an interview than to highlight some of the challenges that we faced in Nigeria and also in the UK and also to give an opportunity to people who haven’t been heard to share our frustration.”
