Barnardo's Boy

Listen to the item

Peter Adebisi spent his entire childhood聽from the age of one in a Barnardo's home. He was quite rebellious as a young boy and abit of a hooligan - but at sixteen聽joined the army. This life suited聽Peter and he ended up in the聽7th Paras.

Peter kept聽in touch聽with his Jamaican mother - but his Nigerian father had returned to Africa a few years after Peter's birth with聽no contact since then.聽At the age of 40 Peter felt a strong urge to track down his father and the聽subsequent journey turned out to be a revelation in more ways than one... besides finding out he had family - two half-brothers - he also discovered that his father was a crowned聽prince of the Yoruba tribe - and that he was聽now next in line!

...from Barnardo's Boy to Prince Peter!
