Matthew returned to Lagos, Nigeria, after a long time apart from his family. As the plane landed, he felt a mix of excitement and nostalgia wash over him. He had missed his family and the warmth of his homeland, and he couldn't wait to reconnect with his roots.
His parents and siblings welcomed him with open arms, and they spent the first few days catching up and enjoying traditional Nigerian cuisine. Matthew's mother, Nneoma, showed off his football trophies and newspaper clippings to their neighbors and friends, beaming with pride. His father, Chukwuemeka, discussed politics and business with him, seeking his opinion on various matters. Matthew's sister, Emily, joined them for dinner, and they reminisced about their childhood adventures.
