It was back in 2006.
And it was probably the coolest experience I've had in all my life, all my travels.
I've done 41 countries.
But Nigeria, not just because it's home.
And this was the story of my mother and my father.
But I'll never forget.
We land in Myrtilla Muhammad Airport and we set up at the hotel.
The next day we go to to see my grandmother.
This would be my first time meeting my grandmother.
Father's side?
My father's side, yes.
And my father is telling, oh, like there was no street signs.
Some of the street signs were like down or whatever.
And he was like, turn here, turn there, turn here.
He hadn't been back home in 32 years.
And he just was like, everything was just snapping for him.
Turn here.
And then he was like, we're here.
All right, we're here.
And he walks into his home and he was like, you see this tree here?
