The young man in the UK spoke with Legit.ng after his video went viral. He spoke about how he felt when he placed a call to his friend in Nigeria.
Many people had misunderstood his gesture of not notifying his friend before travelling out of the country, but the individual explained his reasons.
Speaking about how he felt when he phoned his friend after he had already arrived in the UK, he said: "I felt really excited and emotional. I had been waiting for the right moment to tell him, so seeing his reaction live on video made the whole journey feel worth it."
When speaking to his friend, he shared what he noticed in his friend's reaction after telling him where he was.
He also spoke about how long they've been friends.
He added:
"He was shocked at first, but in a happy way. I think he felt proud and excited for me. We’ve been friends for years, so he understood why I wanted to surprise him."
In the initial video, a few details were left out, details which he shared with Legit.ng in the exclusive chat.
After he had already revealed his location to his friend, he mentioned what they discussed next.
"We talked about how the journey went, the experience of arriving, and how grateful I was. He also asked a lot of questions about settling in and how everything had been so far. He is a friend like a brother."
"Not really, because I do carry him partially along with the plans but he wasn’t fully informed. I trusted that once he understood it was just a surprise, he would be fine. And truly, he reacted with joy, not anger."
He mentioned that while his friend didn't know everything about the said journey, he revealed hints of the journey to his friend as he notified him while purchasing some essentials for his journey abroad.
"Not really, but I knew there was a small risk because travelling is a big step. But I mainly kept it a little private because I wanted the surprise to be genuine. I didn’t hide it out of fear,just for the excitement of the moment. Because if I wanted to hide from him, I wouldn’t carry him along to buy all I needed for the trip and other essential steps that made the trip a success. He as well partially knew! Like I said, he is more than a friend, he is a brother."
