According to the man identified on TikTok as @55roderick4, he has given birth to many children.
However, he lamented that he was unable to bring them home so they would know their native land.
He said he had failed to come home with his children because he could not afford the transportation fare.
"It has been over 30 years I left my homeland to travel to Europe and seek for greener pastures. For over 30 years, I was able to give birth to many children. Now, throughout this period of time, I have not been able to take my children to Africa.
"I haven't been able to take them to Africa at any time. Every end of the year, we spend it here in Europe. It is not as if I do no want to take my children to go see their homeland where their parents came from. But the reality is, I don't have the money to sponsor that trip."
The man said there are many people like him living in Europe who are not able to bring their children home.
In the TikTok video, he said the American and European dreams that took people were becoming illusions.
