Nigerian pilot makes history as first African to fly the world solo!

This news needs to go viral because it is not every day we hear positive news or stories about Nigerians or Africans.

Ademilola “Lola” Odujinrin a 38-year-old pilot arrived successfully completed this historic expedition and now ranks as the 115th person in the world to make this record.

Ademilola says that his motivation for embarking on this expedition was because of his love for not only his country but his continent Africa. Ademilola said, “ to reshape the perception of Nigeria through great achievements that defy expectation and to redefine the African narrative”.

He also said that this is to inspire the youth of Africa to ‘Dare to Dream,’” he goes on to say, “Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of one day flying around the world. We have a responsibility to lead by example and follow our dreams. I want African children to think: ‘I can do this too!’

I hope many Africans will continue to dare to dream, break those stereotypes, dare to be the change that they seek, dare to make a change! If Ademilola can do it, so can you!

Well done Ademilola!
