People react
The post has since ignited reactions online, with many wondering why the man now wants to reconnect with the family after all these years away:
Norah Miriti said:
“He’s already unkempt and worn out. He ran away when he had strength. He seems to be going back to being a nuisance.”
David Mwitii said:
“There is no vacuum automatically. He is coming back home with something, either poverty or he has some savings.”

“It’s very hard to differentiate karma and the needy in this particular case.”

Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria earlier reported that a Nigerian man, Henry Johnson, launched an online search for his son and erstwhile lover whom he abandoned more than 33 years ago.
