A video of the heartwarming moment of an elderly Nigerian couple returning to Nigeria after 25 years in the United States has gone viral online.
The video was posted on TikTok by a woman who revealed that the couple, who are her grandparents, have been helping to take care of her and her siblings while their parents were at work.
Nneoma said her grandparents have been married for 62 years and have been commuting between Nigeria and the United States, but it was time for them to return home permanently.
A few months before their departure date, they threw a farewell party for the elderly couple and invited their close friends to celebrate with them.
The video also captures the touching moment the couple was packing their belongings and bidding their goodbyes as they were dropped off at the airport.
Nneoma captioned the video,
“No one prepares you for the feeling of growing up and seeing the people you love grow older too. I’m going to miss them.”
