Three Nigerian ladies from Ondo state who are born to the same mother have become pilots.

The siblings dressed in their pilot attire as they posed together in a group photograph which caught people’s attention.

The siblings are named Mopelola Makinde, Oluwaseun Makinde, and Oluwafunmilayo Makinde.

More interesting is that the ladies are part of a larger family of seven female children born to one mother.

Also, another stunning thing about them is that their father, Captain Wale Makinde, is a pilot, too, and he works with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA.

While posting the photo on Twitter, Fasipe wrote: “Mopelola and Oluwaseun are Helicopter Pilots, while Oluwafunmilayo is a fixed-wing Pilot. The 3 sisters are actively flying and are happily married.”

Our mother is our hero

The Tweet caught the attention of one of the girls, @fummzzy.

She wrote while quoting the tweet that their mother is the story’s real hero.

She said: “She was Everything! In a society where a woman has all girls as children. Seven girls to be precise.”

@adewryght commented: “This should be a Guinness World Record for a family of 4 air pilots: Father and 3 Daughters.”
