Sleeping on the floor at parent's home

In May, a young Nigerian man stirred emotional comments on TikTok after sharing a post on how he lives with his large family.

The heartbroken man shared a touching video of his siblings sleeping on the floor in a one-room apartment.

According to him, things have been bad for his family, and they have stayed in a small house despite their large number.

In the video shared via his TikTok account @nitalovehassankaskadu, he revealed that they are five siblings, all boys, living in only one room with their parents.

He said:

"I was born into this one single room. God lift me. I want to change my family's lifestyle. One family, a single room, five sons. Yah Allah Yah Allah."
