A young man has traveled all the way from Johannesburg, South Africa, to Nigeria in a heartfelt search for his long-lost father, who is originally from Enugu State.
This emotional journey came to light through a video that was shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where the young man made a public appeal for assistance in locating his father.
In the video, he introduced himself as Jordan Okechukwu Agu and shared the few personal details he knows about his father, in hopes that someone might recognize the name or be able to connect him with his family.
He explained that although he was born and raised in South Africa, he has Nigerian heritage through his father, who he has never met. He is now in Nigeria with the intention of finding and reconnecting with him.
His statement in the video was: “My name is Jordan Okechukwu Agu. I’m from Johannesburg. I’m looking for my dad—he’s from Enugu State. My mother’s name is Philomena Motha.”
The video has since gone viral, garnering attention from social media users who expressed a mix of encouragement, prayers, and criticism towards absentee fathers.

@Faithysia_blunt: “Nigerian men need to stop this rubbish. Stop going to foreign countries to have kids and abandon them there. It’s so wicked and so wrong.”
