Sydney Talker, the Nigerian skit maker, has revealed he grew
up as “the child the family never wanted”.
In a recent interview on the Rash 4 Christ podcast, Sydney
shared details about his difficult upbringing.
The 29-year-old content creator recounted how his father’s
drug addiction, his parents’ turbulent relationship, and family rejection
shaped his early years.
Sydney said his childhood was marked by constant displacement, adding that he was passed between relatives due to his parents’ struggles.
He claimed his mother planned to abort him, but “my grandma
said, ‘don’t worry, bring him, I will train him'”.
“I was a child that the family never wanted. I stayed with
the rich, the poor, the average, the village, the golden house; think about it,
I did everything, and finally stayed with my aunt. And God started intervening
in my life,” he said.
“My mum was taking me back to my father, my father was
taking me back to my mum. Finally, my mum came to accept that she just had to
accept me. My dad was the last born in my family, and he was into drugs. So,
everybody did not really care about him.
“He was not focused that time. To be honest with you, my mum
had me the first time, and because of how she saw my dad going up and down, she
took me out, I mean, abort. Then somebody told her that I was going to come
back.
“That is how they found my mum and my dad again came back,
had a child again, and that was me. This time around, she saw my dad going back
to drugs, then she was like she was going to take me out again, but my grandma
said, ‘don’t worry, bring him, I will train him’.
“That is how I stayed with my grandma, started staying with
family back and front. It was just going until my mum said, bring my child. I
stayed with my mum, to a point, I stayed with my Aunty. When things got tough,
I stayed with my uncle, stayed with my cousin, I literally stayed everywhere. I
have seen everything. I literally saw different stuff.”
