Out of generosity and filial piety, a young Nigerian woman has sponsored her grandmother’s pilgrimage to Mecca, repaying the kindness her grandmother showed her in the past.
According to a TikTok video shared by user @lips_licking, the woman recounted how her grandmother had selflessly given her the savings meant for her own Hajj pilgrimage in 2022 to help the younger woman start a new life in Canada.
