An Afrobeats singer Fola has given his mother a car, fulfilling the second major wish she made when his music career began to take off.
He posted about it on social media, saying his mother had asked for two things as he became successful, a church of her own and a specific car model.
The singer recalled asking his mother what she wanted when things started improving for him musically.
She told him she dreamed of having her own church building and the particular car.
He said he is grateful that his career has progressed enough to deliver on both promises.
He had previously bought a plot of land in Ibadan for his mother using his early music earnings.
She later built a church on that property.
Before his music took off, the singer worked as a betting shop cashier in the same city while pursuing his musical dreams.
His mother played a key role in his journey, encouraging him to follow music and believing in his potential when things were uncertain.
The singer became more widely known after releasing a song that caught people's attention.
Since then he has worked with several established artists and released his debut album last year.
He is signed to two music labels.
The car gift has drawn praise from fans and followers online, who have commended him for remembering his mother's wishes and making them come true.
The gesture highlights his continued growth in the Nigerian music scene.
