Mo Farah is not my real name and my life story was fake, says Olympic champion

I disagree. Most kids just want their Mums - any programmes like Genes Reunited, Who Do you Think You are and Long Lost Family will confirm this.

In the whole programme I don’t think the “fake” Mo Farar ever mentioned this. You are still very young and close to your Mum at 9 years old.

I’m sure he missed her dreadfully, the whole sorry business was very sad

But by the time he came to the U.K. he’d already been separated from her for five years. She sent him away for safety when he was four and he lived with his uncle in Djibouti until he was sent to the U.K. at 9

Not that that would have hurt any less, of course :frowning:

She didn’t seem a very caring mother to me .

As I surmised all is not quite as it seems the woman who took him was a family member .
It’s great to know that lots of Somali children have been illegally brought to the U.K. by this method .
The woman and his pseudo father are both in Somaliland at the moment . Let’s hope they stay there .
All these poor Somali s living in council flats seem to be able to flit back to somaliland when they want too .

Yup, the whole story is well dodgy and they all seem to be related and complicit

Before I even started believing any of it I’d want DNA tests! Is Mo Farah’s father really dead, is that really his mother…. Not sure about any of it

And even that article you quoted that reveals Nimco is related to our fake Mo Farah and his family, doesn’t mention that Kinsi, the woman who looked after him after social services intervened, is Nimcos sister-in-law. And brother to Nimco’s husband, who is the father of the real Mo Farah, who’s ID was stolen

And by my reckoning, our fake Mo Farah was 13 or 14 when he applied for British Citizen and 17 when it was granted, so a young adult

I’m glad Nimcos offered to speak up but it will be hard going getting the truth out of any of them, I think

Impossible I would say .
The fact is that the Somali community has probably been importing kids for years into the soft soap U.K. .i don’t blame them wanting a better life but in true corrupt African fashion they lie and bribe their way to what they want .if we are stupid enough to be ripped off by these people it’s our own fault
Let’s hope these two liars stay in Somaliland.

Yet another different story :woman_shrugging:

If Nimco is our fake Mo Farah’s real fathers cousin, as has been suggested

Then this grandmother who she says encouraged her to substitute our fake Mo Farah for the real one, would also be our fake Mo Farah’s great grandmother?

I believe he was brought here illegally, using the other child’s ID, but not that he was ‘trafficked’ to be servant. I suspect his family was complicit in it, to get him into the U.K. and that it was a commonplace practice. No evidence, but was money exchanged to persuade Nimco and her husband to do it?

Quite right and they manage to get “council” housing yet flit backwards and forwards to Somalia as they please. They get the best of both worlds.It is absolute madness that they get away with this. I have read that some of them even sublet their “council” homes while they are back in their home countries.

I’m not going to pour scorn on the Mo Farah trafficking life story without knowing the full facts.

I honestly don’t think the full truth will ever be told Ripple. That teacher had the chance to reveal the truth to the Police and Social Services but chose not to, as did the “fake” Mo Farah especially when he was doing his autobiography.

All the more reason without further knowledge to refrain from laying blame…

He’s in the country illegally and is a serial liar. What more is there to know?

Legally, the government can remove a person’s British nationality if their citizenship was obtained through fraud. But a Home Office officials have said it would not take action over Sir Mo’s nationality , as it is assumed children are not complicit when their citizenship is gained by deception.

If the UK government removed everybody who told lies Britain would have a very low population …consisting mainly of saints
