Lost In Lagos - The voice I lost in Lagos (30 MIN READ)

£2.50

PART 1  An Unknown Father Figure

This book is loosely based on Diary Entries I wrote between the ages of 11- 13. My 20 year old self returns to reflect on what was actually happening, as you read you’ll begin to see that In between the lines of humour and drama, there was something sinister going on.

I COME TO MY OWN CONCLUSION BUT THE WRITING IS OPEN TO BE FURTHER ANALISED BY READERS. I CAN ONLY REFLECT SO MUCH AND APPRECIATE I MAY CARRY A BIAS.

Grooming is when an adult or older individual builds an emotional connection with a child or young person to gain their trust for the purpose of sexual exploitation, manipulation, or abuse — even if the sexual act happens later.

A small introduction so you have the context you need to enjoy and engage with this story, my name is Honey Ferdinand. 

  • I grew up in South East London 

  • I went to a boarding secondary school in Lagos, Nigeria

Finding this diary and reading these entries brings an overwhelming feeling of emotions over me. I am so grateful for a snapshot into my young brain, a deep insight into one of my most formative years in Lagos. Alone and trying to build a sense of community in whatever way I knew how, boy crazy and overly invested in a relationship that when I became the age Nate was when we met - I realised it was deeply inappropriate. In fact, some element of me always knew it was inappropriate but didn't understand the depth until later on in life.

The relationship between us from him leaving our secondary school until we met again wasn't close at all. He kept me at a close enough distance where I always knew he was interested in me. But I never really knew him, and he didn't know me, infact the version of me he knew most was 11 year old Honey, and after our latest and final interaction I believe that was who he most preferred me to be most.
