Netizens divided over the reunion video

@Ovaaas said:

“This thing happened to my sister she came home and meet my dad outside she greeted him and he responded as if it was a stranger greeting him. Then her husband showed up because he had been coming to Nigeria frequently. Surprisingly my dad asked her husband how is his wife.”

@DrOkpala said:

“Ain’t no WAY I wouldn’t recognize my own daughter or my mommy would not recognize me, let it be 100 years!”

@girlonvibes said:

“I just love the pure joy the woman displayed. Nothing concerns me wether she’s grandma or aunt or anything.”

@henrie089 said:

“How do you people stay in a country for 20years and fail to visit your own country?”

@lollypeezle said:

“I can categorically tell you that’s not her mother. At best, That’s her grandma or Aunt. No video call to your mother since 2004 means you all don’t even talk at all niyen. It’s impossible jare.”

@flourish007 said:

“I have a few questions:

“It’s 2024, so were there no video calls between them?

“The daughter’s reaction seems unreal to me—seeing your mum after 20 years?

“I can relate to this even in a time without video calls.

“Maybe my expectations are too high.”
