Nims Obunge is a pastor at the Freedom’s Ark Church in Tottenham, North London. In 2011 when protests broke in North London, the world was given a view of how these Londoners lived in desperate, if not squalid conditions, compared to the image we have of the city. In 2008, Obunge told the BBC what he made of life in North London from the perspective of a pastor. He told The Africa Report: “[T]he history of the black experience has painfully revealed the base nature of our humanity. But Obunge is not the only among the hopeful lot to have intimate knowledge of gang violence in London.
