Sharing the video on TikTok, he surprised his mother and his siblings with a new house after years of living in cramped conditions.
While documenting the life-changing surprise, he disclosed that his small family once lived inside a one-bedroom apartment.
The man strategically built suspense by showing the family the huge house in the middle of the night. The mother was visibly confused while they were on their way by bus to the location. She looked all around, hoping to have an idea of what was next to come.
While they approached the house, the mother was still unable to recognise the property from a distance.

"She couldn't tell if what we were seeing from afar was her compound or not," the son said.
The emotional turning point came when she confirmed that the beautifully lit mansion was indeed their new residence.
She appeared overwhelmed with joy as she stepped her foot inside the beautiful new home. The man's siblings shared in the excitement, running freely through the house.
He captioned the video:
"POV: I surprised my MOM and siblings with a new house after years of living inside one bedroom."
