I've been watching a few films recently, one of which was the extraordinary Farming, about a Nigerian boy who was fostered by a white family in the 1960's / 70's and ended up joining a skinhead gang.
It reminded me of a kid that came to our school in the mid 1980's.
He resembled a young Michael Jackson, with a massive afro, was a bit younger than me and my friends, but I have never forgotten him, as he was called Akinboloji Akintoye, which was a pretty awesome name!
But I suspect he got bullied and didn't stay very long, so I still wonder what happened to him.
He's probably a Nollywood director now...
Anyway, that's not as interesting as what he gets up to in Ms Blackbird's Home For Peculiar People!
