"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."
