The lady wrote:

"This morning, I woke up to the saddest news I could’ve ever received. My grandfather, who has been in the United States and no longer has a place to live in Nigeria, has been deported after living nearly five decades in the United States. All his family is here; he has no place to live back home. To wake up to the news that he can never return has been truly heartbreaking."

She gave more explanation in the comments of her TikTok post:

"Moral of the story is, he is 70 years old! Hasn’t been back home since he was 19 or in his early 20s. Nigeria is completely different. He was deported without documentation or any calls."

"Everything is happening so fast; we still haven’t heard from him."
