The emotional reunion, captured in a widely shared video, showed the joy on both sides as Mr. Idoko instantly recognised Chimamanda despite his age. The author expressed her deep appreciation, thanking him for the role he played in her formative years.
“He taught me in kindergarten, but the impact has lasted a lifetime,” she said.
Chimamanda’s visit has been praised as a powerful reminder of the lasting influence teachers have on their students and the importance of honouring those who helped shape our early lives.
