Growing up in #Nigeria, I saw terrible things: executions by firing squad, burglars lynched and set on fire, fights at the drop of a hat, a girl beaten close to death cos a rumour claimed she was a witch who could steal penises, police flogging commuters for no reason.
But I have absolutely no PTSD from any of it (I think). My British kids have nightmares if a car door slams too loudly.
