UK-Born Teen Seeks VeryDarkMan’s Help To Find His Long-Lost Nigerian Father [Video]

A 17-year-old boy identified as Teddy Onwuchekwa has turned to social media activist VeryDarkMan for assistance in finding his Nigerian father, who left his life many years ago.

Teddy, who grew up in London, said he was born to a British mother and a Nigerian father named Derrick Onwuchekwa.

According to him, his father walked away when he was just two years old and never returned, leaving him without any details about his location or contact information.

The teenager explained that several attempts to track his father over the years have failed, prompting him to seek help online.

He also revealed that he has photos of both his father and grandfather that could help with identification.

He said, “Good evening Verydarkman, my name is Teddy Onwuchekwa and I’m 17 years old. I am London born of an English mother and a Nigerian father.

“His name was Derrick Onwuchekwa. He left when I was 2 years old and I don’t know where he is or how I can find him.

” I’d be very happy if you help me locate him. I have pictures of my granddad and my father to help locate him.”

After receiving the message, VeryDarkMan posted Teddy’s appeal on social media, sharing the photographs said to belong to the boy’s father and grandfather.

He urged members of the public to repost the images and share any useful information that could help reunite the family.
