Nigerian lady documents mother's trip to Canada

The journey began in Ogun State, where the family travelled to Lagos a day early to avoid traffic and stay near the airport.

Grace noted that the family had to buy "Gala" at the last minute to ensure it did not expire before reaching its destination.

She also highlighted the various costs encountered at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.

Grace said:

"First, getting someone to trolley your bags for you is not free, and we had to pay 2,000 Naira for a gate entry because they said we had to pay. We had to scan her bags... then we had to pay for a bag tag as well."

Mother displays her african culture at airport

Before checking in, a notable moment occurred when the mother displayed her cultural roots while interacting with airport officials.

Grace said in the TikTok video:

"And it was time for her to go check in. My mom actually knelt down to give the man her passport. Tell me you are a Yoruba woman without telling me!"

The journey involved three flights, starting with a 6-hour and 40-minute trip from Lagos to London.

The traveller's daughter noted that her mother spent a significant portion of the flight engaging in spiritual exercises.
