I'm not exactly sure of the correct answer to your question I did however work with a lady from Sierra Leone in London who was born there and had come to England with her parents.
You should probably contact the British emabssy or consulate where you are. Maybe you can apply for a British passport in your own right based on the fact that your father carries a British passport? I do know that many people have come over to England from former colonies and commonwealth countries because they are entitled to British passports.
Hope this helps.

Have a look here for more info :

You're probably best off contacting the Home Office, or local British Embassy, directly for advice

You will need to determine if your father was a British Citizen by descent, or otherwise than by descent. Unfortunately British Citizens by descent cannot pass on British Citizenship to their children if they are born outside of the UK.
