Controversial journalist Kemi Olunloyo’s son, Olukayode Joshua Taiwo, has opened up on his pains as he clocks 24 today.
Kemi Olunloyo took to Instagram to share memorable photos of herself and her son to mark his new age.
She expressed pride in her son’s achievements and dreams, which have yet to be fulfilled.
Her son took it to his page to share his plights since moving to America a year ago. He spoke about his ordeals with his extended family and how they treated him unfairly.
He also noted how his mother stood by him through this trial and how he encountered worse after moving to the United States of America.
“Happy Birthday to me and to being in America for 1 year already. I’m getting closer to my mid 20s and it’s haunting me cause I feel alone in this world and I feel like time is running out. Coming back to a country I haven’t lived in for 11 years all by myself to restart my life from all the abuse and depression I went through in Nigeria from my extended family and only having my mom while I was there. Being here alone with no support system has been hard. No parents, friends or family to support but I’ve made the most of it myself. I’ve been homeless countless times, losing countless jobs, having accidents and ppl stealing from me at my lowest. since being here from being kicked out because it’s clear I wasn’t wanted there to staying with abusive ppl that treated me like a sub human all in the name of that favor. Had a car accident and lost my first car to a reckless driver, had to go to court for the first time cause I didn’t have insurance and I was a new driver, slept outside, slept in my car all while working 3 jobs and trying to pursue a career in modelling. Everything I went through made me stray a bit from God but I’m writing this as something to look back on when everything eventually gets better and also because people don’t see the struggle off social media they just see the good moments. Hopefully I can write a book on everything I experienced so far in America. Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes and cheers to 23. Lemme stop yapping now just wanted to get that off my chest”
