A Nigerian mother was overwhelmed with joy after her son, who lives abroad, returned home.

In a heartwarming video which was posted on TikTok, the woman totally 'lost control' when she saw her son.

According to the video, which was posted by @big_diara, the woman embraced her son and refused to let go.

It was revealed that she had no idea that her son was coming him as it was designed to be a huge surprise.

She was passing by casually, and suddenly, her attention caught her son, who was coming in the opposite direction.

The mother stood frozen for a few seconds as if she was trying to determine if the person there was her son or not.

The man had lived abroad for nine years before he returned to surprise his mother.

The video is captioned:

"My mum surprised to see my big bro after 9 years. She was actually surprised because she wasn’t expecting to see him at all because no one told her that he was coming around."
