Good post. Thank you. (^: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yoruba life was good in their three-bedroom city flat, until Babatunde's mother, Musiliu, died.. Babatunde was 14 years old.
... Babatunde said he experienced a great culture shock when he arrived aboard the Depot.
"All these different faces and people are here," marveled Babatunde. "Now they are all my brothers. I love them all."
...Babatunde is reluctant to mention a part of his life he left behind: He's royalty.
