Revealing how the woman was stuck in Chad, the man said that his dad relocated to Nigeria after the war ravaged Chad. After losing his job with the American Embassy, going back was not an option even when the chaos calmed.
Martin's father later went to Chad to pick him and that was how he started living in the east with his dad.
How I reconnected with her
He revealed that his father never remarried throughout his lifetime. According to Martin, the reconnection with his 76-year-old mother all started when he got a call from her family about four years ago.
On the other hand, Sarah said that she never came to Nigeria with her husband because it was not the wish of God for her to do so. She, however, revealed that she would stay in Nigeria for the meantime with her son.
