Sharing more details in the comments, the lady said:

“My mom has been in the Uk and he has been in Nigeria too. Life happened and there was a 10 year ban on my dad’s visa from a mistake in the application. So they couldn’t see eachother. They just kept believing God for a miracle. And the miracle is finally here.
“They stayed married with no more kids asides the ones they already had before mom relocated. She couldn’t (visit him) as well. There were restrictions around her situation too. They really thought he would be able to join her soon when she left Nigeria 19 years ago, but one thing led to another and it didn’t happen.”
