Skit maker Sydney Egere, popularly known as Sydney Talker, has opened up about his childhood experience which was marked by rejection and instability.

Speaking in an interview with Rasheedat Ajibade, Sydney said his parents’ tumultuous relationship, fueled by his father’s struggles with drug addiction, led to him being shuffled between relatives.

He said: “I was a child that the family never wanted. I stayed with the rich, the poor, average, village, golden house; think about it, I did everything, finally stayed with my Aunty. And God started intervening in my life.

“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 last born in my family and he was into drugs. So, everybody doesn’t really care about him. He wasn’t focused that time.
