Kwame — if you see this, your family in Nigeria is looking for you

In 2019, my mother Kwame left everything behind in Aba. We stayed in touch for a while, then silence. The political situation made life impossible. My family made the difficult decision to leave. Back then, Kwame was 32 years old and believed the separation would be short. We stayed in touch through phone calls and the occasional letter. Kwame spoke of life in Birmingham — the challenges of adapting, the loneliness, but also the small victories. The messages suddenly stopped in 2024. The phone number was disconnected and we had no other way to reach them. Kwame was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off their back. Kwame would be around 39 today. short and stocky, with a round face and kind eyes. My mother prays for them every single night. Please, if you know anything about Kwame, reach out. A mother is waiting to hear from her child.
