Heartbroken Nigerian Daughter Launches Social Media Search for Missing Mother
A Nigerian woman identified as @smileout15 on TikTok has launched a desperate public appeal to find her mother who has been missing for exactly two years. The emotional search has captured attention across social media platforms as the daughter shares her heartbreaking story.
The Last Contact: A Fateful Video Call
The distraught daughter revealed that the last time she communicated with her mother was during a video call two years ago. This ordinary conversation turned out to be their final interaction, as her mother completely disappeared afterward.
"I haven't seen my mom in 2 years now! The last time we talked was on a video call, and that was the last time I ever saw her," read the emotional text overlaid on her TikTok video that has since gone viral.
According to the family's account, the mother's phone went offline immediately after that final conversation, and all attempts to reach her since have proved unsuccessful. The family has been living in uncertainty and anxiety ever since that day.
Family's Initial Assumptions and Growing Concern
The missing woman's family initially thought she might have traveled or simply needed some personal space. Her own relatives confirmed they hadn't seen her for several weeks before her complete disappearance.
"Her family said they also haven't seen her for weeks before she disappeared," the daughter explained in her emotional appeal. "We thought maybe she traveled or just needed some time, but it's been two long years, and no one knows where she is."
The family has exhausted all conventional methods to locate their missing loved one. They have conducted extensive searches, made numerous phone calls, and asked questions throughout their community, but all efforts have yielded no information about her whereabouts.
Desperate Plea to the Public
In her heartfelt message to TikTok users and the broader online community, @smileout15 made an emotional appeal: "Please help me find my mom? My mom has been missing for two years now. Please TikTok, I'm begging, help me find my mom. If anyone has seen her or recognizes her face, please reach out or repost this video. I just want my mom back."
The daughter shared a photograph of her missing mother in the hope that someone might recognize her and provide information that could lead to her location. The image shows a smiling woman whose disappearance has left her family in continuous distress.
