Precarious Parenting

In this episode we meet Favour Oyelowo, a 23 year old Nigerian studying Aviation at a university in the Turkish Occupied Republic of Northern Cyprus. Favour is following his dream to become a pilot which has meant living away from his family since he was 16 years old. He funds all his living and studying expenses by working a number of jobs. Having not seen his parents or brothers for seven years, he often feels lonely and questions his decisions. However, when we listen to Favour we hear a wisdom beyond his years. He reminds us that, if we set our minds to it, we can achieve our dreams.
