London Gangster Convicted Of Modern Day Slavery & County Lines - Glodi

Taboo Room Interviews ex-London Gangster who was convicted of modern day slavery and running county lines. Glodi has spent nearly more years in maximum security prisons and youth offenders than he has on the roads. It all started when Glodi arrived from Congo, his life quickly spiralled out of control.
This is the most powerful story I have heard since starting this project.
Glodi is hoping to inspire and prevent others from making the same mistakes as he once did by sharing his story.

​@@jaynepaige5702throwing out a 13 year old for smoking some weed is literally insane. What do you expect that child to do? There is no legal way for them to make money and support themselves. They can't just go get a job. There is only so many times their friends parents will let them sleepover.. so then what? If you dont have anyone else that will take you in.. an urban setting like that, you have few options. You can steal food to survive.. but then where do you sleep? You need money. So you can steal and sell things. You can sell yourself. Or you can sell drugs. The options are pretty limited. He also was from a foreign country, and probably didn't know about things like child welfare offices or social services. His parents throwing him out really just set him up to go down an even worse path. If they would have sat down with him, had an honest conversation about drugs and the consequences, what could happen, and disciplined him in a responsible way, his whole life could have been different. I don't blame any child for what they had to do to survive on the grimy ass streets of London, alone at 13 years old.

He’s parents failed him due to lack of knowledge not acknowledging they were in a totally different environment in England and not acknowledging the challenges they wouldn’t face in the Congo with him growing up is totally different here culturally getting caught smoking weed by African parents is a huge thing as an adult let alone a child in the home. They were absolutely wrong for kicking him out they clearly thought he will just come home and be remorseful hence they kept going to the police when they realised that wasn’t the case and the police didn’t do their job regarding him being a 13year old child who tells a child if you tell us you are ok we will leave you alone that sounds crazy but the system is built against him even without the predicament he found himself.

[@beccyhanson9811]

More power to you Glodi. What you've witnessed and survived, and continue to endure, would break most. Your wisdom shines through. I'm a total fan girl. Massive respect for surviving and seeing everything for all it is. Mega.

[@nikkis9292]

This young has gone through a lot and has been used and let down by so many people, I have a feeling he will prosper and have a bright future ahead 🙏🏽

[@ayocole2188]

You are so articulate Glodi and you don't shirk away from the cold hard reality of your actions. I hope you can turn your life around as you have the potential to be such an instrument for change to divert others at risk of going down your same path - your story is so powerful. Wishing you all the success in your endeavours young man - please stay on a legitimate path. NB - Glod's social media contacts are posted in the comments below for all those that want to support Glodi going forward.

[@evie5133]

Great interview, thank you for sharing your story Glodi, I am glad you survived. There is always room for change and the Lord loves us unconditionally even if our parents don’t. I hope that you can find a way to block out the negative and move forward in a positive more productive manner and live the rest of your life as a law abiding citizen. Such as sad story detailing how your parents and the government failed you as a young boy. 🙏🏽

[@madloveonline8676]

That was incredibly moving. Excellent account and story telling. Amazon came to drop off a parcel and I was cussing because I didn't want to miss not one word.

[@nate4524]

Thank you for sharing your story so concisely throughout the interview brother.

[@samsloan2526]

you can see he’s a true genuine guy who’s just got lost in his surroundings one of many All the best to him

[@incognitoish98]

This story is sad for this man. He seems like a bless guy as well. He had it tough for real!! I respect him for telling his story!!

[@Anxietye]

This mans story is truly captivating. Wnd traumatizing. I had a similar childhood just not the prison part. But was raised in foster homes. Cares. Thr worst places. Being homless at a very young age. I wish this man peace and I hope he finds the light and inner peace he truly deserves. I’ll be rooting for you bruh. I truly truly hope you make it, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart bruh.

[@Kalavatinails]

People are saying “the system failed him” but the truth is this is the story of many little black boys who the world failed and then incriminated them for it. I am excited to see where he is headed. I haven’t been this touched by a story in a while. I wish you all the goodness this world has to offer.

[@jessicapowell8144]

His parents are so cold hearted to do that- I can’t believe anyone would do such a thing to their child 😩😩😥

[@GabriellaGabrielle]

@@livelifenasty Not only was your comment very stupid, but it was also very ignorant. Keep those kinds of thoughts to yourself. You don’t know about immigrates and that is evident from your comment.

[@metamorphosis_x]

Thankyou for sharing your story with us Glodi. It's just so sad to think that most of your life has been spent in jail. By the sounds of things and I can only go by the information you've shared with us, there's alot of factors that I don't believe the police ever took into consideration. It's crazy to think that in so many cases police are just trying to get good media coverage, make arrest, get promotions etc instead of actually doing their jobs the legit and moral way. I really do hope that you're able to heal from all that you've been through, change your life for the better but this time with the support that you desearve and could have potentially saved you from going back to what you were doing when you were younger. You desearve to live the rest of your life as a free man, who is genuinely happy, supported, loved and I hope you find good people who want the best for you, genuinely care about your mental health and well-being. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@thatguyaga1n]

There’s no police and legal system jobs if there’s no crime. So it’s just meeting quotas and posturing and abusing powers. Sad system.

[@ekeocha1]

Glodi thank you for sharing your story. I’m proud that you are turning your life around! I pray that God protects guides and prosper you. AMEN❤️

[@gelesoundz1139]

The older ones getting younger kids to do dangerous work on there behalf do need to be held accountable. However this situation is so sad and he was failed multiple times. Thank you for sharing your story. Please keep healing.

[@sebastiannoah3038]

Very good documentary and a good insight to the true perspective of selling drugs. You see drug dealers with nice things but you don’t ever stop to realise they risked their life’s for this stuff!

[@EB12581]

Very dangerous thing to do indeed.

[@justyna4276]

He is a soldier... Naive but tough. I wish him well in his future 👊🏽

[@thehoneyeffect]

Glodi is captivating and heartbreaking at the same time. Failed from the get go, bless him, i hope he gets a chance to change things around

[@Yahwehchild34]

Truely sad. How can you send a child out of the house at 14. To do what? How is he meant to survive at such an impressionable age. Sometimes immigrant families are just interested in surviving that they miss a lot of things. Bullying is traumatizing and has dangerous effects on the minds of kids.

[@luash5073]

He said he done bad in school, but he's extremely intelligent. He could have easily exceeded in any profession if he wanted to. Drug dealers seriously underestimate what good business men they'd make through selling & making a living legally.

[@luash5073]

​@@tabularasa7775 You can have your perspective as much as I can have mine. What I see in him may differ from what you do but I still stick by what I said. If it comes off as "cringey" to you then who actually cares lol. Argue in a corner with yourself about it and have a nice day :)

[@merryghostown691]

You lot shut the fuck up, u can blantinly See a man tryna change the whole narrative and be open about this life cah no one else is tryna give this real spit, good on you glodi keep pushing bro this was brave

[@luash5073]

​@@merryghostown691 Are you dumb or are you stupid? Don't piss me off and direct your anger at the right people! That was the point I was trying to make in the first damn place. Read the comments properly before you go around telling ppl to shut up and you shut the hell up!

[@PuffPuff279]

I think in theory only some drug dealers would do well making a living legally and the others just won't make it. I've seen comments like this on a few occasions and apart from Glodi's account, we hear about drug dealers making it rain with all their financial gains and then changing their lives. If all we ever heard were stories such as Glodi's would you and others think they'd have good business acumen, if they went legit? Just a thought.

[@luash5073]

@@PuffPuff279 That's a reasonable point.. It does depends on the person for sure, but I just feel Goldi could go far. I personally admire the way he carries himself & see something special in him that's all. It would be foolish to say all drug dealers could make it because that's not really realistic but some possibly.

[@veronicandombele8462]

Heart breaking wow, thank you for sharing.

[@jamesrufus5389]

Parents let him down.

[@RsMalo]

appreciate your story bro. touched home

[@anthonysansom787]

No matter who we are what colour our skin is we are human, we all make mistakes. Yet us humans fight and we make best of a situation become survivers. No matter how bad we've done we can become a better people, learn from our mistakes. This guy is going to be okay because the path he's been on has learnt him more than any school or book could ever do.

[@biggiesmalls3096]

This channels brilliant will listen to this later today

[@ceecee2040]

There are so many failing by the system! His parents thought kicking him out was right at the time, but im sure that with hindsight, they know that was not best for him. His story was powerful, and I hope he makes some out of his life as a free man, possibly educating you people or the system that failed him. Like someone once told me! There's nothing like freedom and your life!!! Would be nice to have an update on where life is in a year or 2. Well done, and thank you for sharing your story 👏🏾

[@bikerboy9479]

Big interview 🙏🏽💯

[@curtisthomas8935]

Real talk! young don’t realise , telling of your experience can guide youth away from this!

[@johnnobrega4767]

Absolutely brilliant, all the best and I hope and wish a better life for yourself. I can see you are a good person no doubt about that

[@paulbarrett6093]

I really like this interview , the guy was so genuine and real . He was let down on so many levels. I hope he can rebuild his life and become successful.

[@paulsutherland4227]

What a story brudda you need to tell your story to the youth man . Need to do schools and Pru . Good luck with your future

[@j.khepri.8682]

His honesty and depth of emotional expreion is outstanding. You come a long way big man. Hold ya head high.

[@inactive8026]

you can tell his soul is calm and sweet. wishing nothing but blessings.

[@roosworld4910]

That's so sad. I hope parents and young people learn from this. I wish you a good life

[@coyoluo]

When a 14-year-old feels that selling drugs is necessary to survive, the entire system has failed.

[@nha9199]

I hope people will hear your story and learn from it. What a very complex life for such a young boy to have to deal with. Your positivity is very humbling 🙏

[@annikametcalfe8259]

Glodi is so real you can see the pain in his face it’s so heartbreaking, I really loved this interview its so powerful so educating as well wish him all the luck in the world 😊

[@kevinbaptiste4279]

Big up Glodi original realist keeping it 💯and despite your lived experience you have firmed it and been accountable for your actions. I wish the best for the future bredda and I’m sure you will be successful, what don’t kill you will make you stronger🙏🏿

[@wlroofing3551]

God bless you for your honesty and openness, let's hope it helps the youngsters who watch to stay one step ahead of the gangs ready to use vulnerable kids. I fear the corrupt system plays a big part drugs and people trafficking here. Millions being made off the back of poor souls.
