The foreign based Nigerian young man, who hadn’t seen his parents in over a decade, had planned a surprise visit to Nigeria after spending 8 years away. Unfortunately, his original flight got canceled, prompting a change in his plans.

Having left his home country 8 years ago, the decision to return for the surprise visit was a momentous one.

Complications arose when his rescheduled flight faced challenges, leading to a significant increase in traveling cost. Despite these hurdles, the son was grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with his family, especially his father, who had also taken steps to fly back home to Nigeria upon hearing of his son’s visit.
