Social media influencer Ola of Lagos, whose real name is Waris Olayinka Akinwande, revealed how he helped his father buy a house and travel by air for the first time.
He shared this uplifting story on Instagram to encourage others to pursue their dreams of making their parents proud.
Along with the post, he included pictures of himself and his dad dressed in Muslim prayer clothes.
He noted that his father’s first flight was to a destination he had longed to see.
He said:
“My father, Mr. Akinwande, had never in his life been near an airport, let alone flown on a plane. His very first flight was not just international but to a place he had dreamed of visiting all his life. He never imagined he could own a single block, but today, he owns a house. Ola of Lagos added that his dad who worked tirelessly to ensure they had three square meals as a bike man now drives his own car and owns multiple businesses.”
He added:
“My dad’s story is a huge source of motivation for me. He never thought he could achieve all this in his lifetime, but Alhamdulillah. I pray we are all able to make our parents happy and prioritize them above all else. If you’re having a bad day, I hope this serves as a little motivation: don’t give up; it’s never too late. May Allah bless us all, Insha Allah. Ameen.”
