Social media influencer Waris Olayinka Akinwande, popularly known as Ola of Lagos, has shared how he elevated his dad to become a house owner and travel by air for the first time.
He shared this on his Instagram handle, which he described as a motivation for those striving to make their parents happy rather than giving up.
The luxury reviewer posted pictures of his dad and him together in a Muslim prayer outfit.
According to him, his dad’s first trip by air was a journey to where he had loved to visit.
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.
