A Nigerian woman has set social media buzzing after sharing a heartwarming — and very Nigerian — reunion moment with her sister, nine years after they last saw each other.
In a viral TikTok video posted by @zinnysygar1, the woman revealed that her sister had just returned to Nigeria from the United States. The emotional reunion took place at the Abuja International Airport, where excitement quickly turned into comedy.
The clip captures the woman running down the airport walkway toward her sister, both visibly thrilled. Just as they finally embraced, the lights suddenly went out following a power disruption — a moment many Nigerians instantly recognized.
Captioning the video, she wrote:
“POV: Your sister visits Nigeria from America after 9 years and Nigeria and PHCN happened to you both at the Abuja international airport.”
The unexpected blackout turned the emotional moment into a humorous one, sending TikTok users into fits of laughter. The video has since racked up over 70,000 views, sparking mixed reactions online.
While some viewers laughed it off, others expressed frustration over the country’s power challenges.

“Even in the airport, this is not actually funny. We’re the ones disgracing ourselves. We are the country. Yes, this is our reality but posting it and showing the world with captions like this isn’t doing any good to us or our image.”
Another user, @derealvibe2, joked:
“Bro make Ghana no see dis one plss, am shy 🙈🤣🤣”
@Mowie added:
“The sound made it funnier 😂”
Meanwhile, Asoreese commented bluntly:
“This country never gets tired of disgracing us.”
Despite the divided opinions, many agreed that the clip perfectly captured the blend of love, humour, and reality that often defines everyday Nigerian experiences.
