In a heartwarming turn of events, an 18-year-old woman has finally reunited with her Nigerian father after years of separation. The emotional reunion was made possible through a viral appeal on X (formerly Twitter), bringing closure to her long search for her father, Paschal Ogbuagu Nnanna, from Enugu State, Nigeria.
The power of social media has once again proved transformative, as an 18-year-old woman, born to a Filipino mother and a Nigerian father, successfully reconnected with her long-lost father through X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
The young woman’s search for her father, Paschal Ogbuagu Nnanna, gained significant traction after Nigerian media personality Chude Nnamdi highlighted her story on his microblogging page. The appeal quickly went viral, drawing attention from users across the globe.
Paschal had left the Philippines shortly after his daughter’s birth, leading to years of silence and separation. The search, however, took on new momentum when Chude shared the woman’s plight, appealing to the public to help trace her father’s whereabouts.
The search culminated in a joyful reunion, but not without its complexities. Reports suggest that the Filipino mother may have played a role in preventing Paschal from maintaining contact with his daughter. Chude, who closely followed the developments, shared an update confirming that the father and daughter had finally been reunited.
Chude expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed to the search, sharing a screenshot of his conversation with the young woman.
“We have found the father… so many stories and complications, the Filipino Mom prevented him from seeing and speaking with the child since she was little. I wish him and his child all the best! Thank you everyone who helped!” he wrote on X.
