My name is Precious, an LGBT 24 year old lady currently living in direct provision. I made plans to relocate to Ireland 2018 as I was discovered to be a taboo in my home country, Nigeria. On getting to direct provision I was tossed in a room with other africans who are steady judging me. To live or not to live is now the question as I took Africa with me to Ireland and will never let me be free truly.
