Love Versus Goliath
Nearly forced to flee her homeland to be with the man she loves, Robyn Oyeniyi battled her government and won after committing the cardinal sin: falling in love with and marrying an asylum seeker. Love versus Goliath chronicles the pain, anguish, and trauma government interference caused in the lives of Robyn and her family.
When she was 15, Robyn’s parents committed suicide six months
apart. Their deaths, and the ensuing government oversights, left
her afraid that bureaucracy would always let her down.
Forty years later, Robyn met John, an asylum seeker from Nigeria
who was then being held in mandatory detention in Australia. He
had fled his homeland after being beaten almost to death – and
almost shot – during a period of political turmoil. John fled
Nigeria and travelled through Tanzania, Zimbabwe, India,
Bangladesh and China before reaching Australia in 2008. He was
initially housed with a murderer while waiting a decision
on his claim for a Protection Visa, a situation that filled John
with fear.
John was involuntarily removed from Australia in April 2010. For
the next fourteen months Robyn fought desperately to reunite the
family.
