A video he shared online shows him hiding behind a door as his father entered the house.
When the dad spotted him, he was shocked by his sudden appearance. He shed tears of joy as his son prostrated before him.
When @dmkzy stood, they hug, with the dad reluctant to leave his son.
@dmkzy It’s been 15 years I seen my dad, it’s been 11 years I seen my mom and It’s been 8 years I left my home country Nigeria. So I decided to go back home after 8 years At first I told them I was coming home for new years but then, after 6 months the airline reached out to me to request for my refund for because one of the airline cancelled their flight due to some issues and they couldn’t find another one crazy right, so I told my family I can’t come home nomore that my flight has been cancelled and now the price is almost tripled the price I bought the flight 6 months ago when I try to get another one December 5 and guess what? Cuz I told my dad I was coming home so he got his own flight to go back home because he doesn’t live in Nigeria and we haven’t seen each other in so long. Thank God I got the opportunity to connect with my family. #family #foryou #dad #mom #damybwoy #dmkzy #trend #reunion #viral
