I think the mods and seun should be more ashamed of themselves for letting these ethic bigots thrive on Nairaland.

That Arch Oluyemi Odeinde was his uncle.
If the man had contacted me, I will work to locate his family in the S/west, Nigeria.



His mother had a hot teenage romance with the father in 1953 which led to pregnancy and subsequently his birth in 1954 causing embarasment to his white maternal family.

Hope he (Arch Oluyemi Odeinde) is still alive? I can imagine the joy in him the day they eventually met.

Remind me of ROOTS: The Saga of an American Family

But this is a bit complicated.


P.S:
I really hope Tayo comes back too. 15 years is too long a year to bear the pains of a lost brother, he's not dead but his location remains unknown.

That Arch Oluyemi Odeinde RIP whom you say is his uncle was born six years after him on March 25th 1960 at UCH Ibadan (i.e. University College Hospital) and so would be his half brother actually

Architect Oluyemi Odeinde's and possibly same for the 68 years old Mr Paul Bolton's father, is Architect Olufemi Abayomi Odeinde, who passed away in 1981, due to injuries sustained in a motor accident

Architect Oluyemi Odeinde passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of Thursday March the 18th of 2021 and would have been 62 years old if still alive. He was born on March 25th 1960 and was interred on March 25th 2021. His dad and grandad passed at 59 years old, but he broke that jinx

Mr Paul Bolton, should start with getting the correct spelling of the surname of his father (i.e. Architect Olufemi Abayomi Odeinde) right first, then realise that he has plenty of the Odeindes residing in the UK

1954 is quite recent, and since the family line are seemingly educated one, they will not be that difficult to trace. Thanks to the African culture of family ties.
But as someone pointed out, he should start by getting the correct spelling of his father's surname.

He's not serious. He grew up to 68 years old before thinking about his root. He should go sit down.

Some whites are just terrible people. My uncle who went to study in Europe in the 60s also returned to Nigeria with his young 18 or 19yr old wife. Her family disowned her for getting pregnant for a black man. They both lived in Lagos for a while and she settled in very well into Lagos of those days. You know things were still okay then if you were middle class. They lived on the mainland in one of the nice middle class neighborhoods. Sadly, my uncle passed on early and she returned to Europe with the kids. But you know what, they are still part of our extended family. God know the number times they have visited Nigeria and we also visited them multiple times. They are all on my whatsapp contact. If not for Nigeria terrible situation, they would surely have a home in Nigeria. Nigeria terrible situation does not encourage them to develop a land they bought. In fact, the mum could pass for a Nigerian woman but for her skin. I learn that where she used to work, anytime they had to deal with Africans, she is the one they would call to handle it. She even maintained contact with one of their Lagos neighbors till this day. She is unique.

Can this DNA genealogy be used to search for nigerian relatives in nigeria?
Let's just say, my whole family tree, is it possible?
Not possible because there are no Nigerian DNA data base with them. This stuff is common in America because of how disoriented their society is. Someone could get 15 women pregnant in different cities within two years. Then, the ones born through donors and stuffs.

She and her family rejected the child because he is black. Racism was at its peak back then. It amounts to shame and stigma in the society. Inter-racial marriage or birth was frowned at and discouraged, he was merely an unfortunate victim.

And no abortion then

His deceased half brother Architect Oluyemi Odeinde's personal house is at 10B Talabi Street in Lagos

All the Odeindes are middle class stock, no case of hardship

Waoh!

Thank you so very much for this search. The next thing should be linking up the man with his family. How can you go about it please?

May God reward you goodness with goodness.
