A Nigerian lady captured her mother’s unusual way of seeking divine protection during her first-ever flight.
In a video shared online, the lady recorded her mother drinking from a small bottle believed to contain anointing oil that had been prayed over at church.
After drinking some of the oil, the woman poured a little into her palm and used a lighter to draw a cross on her forehead.
Her daughter, who appeared surprised by her mother’s actions, was seen laughing with another lady, believed to be her sister, seated beside their mother.
The women appeared amused by their mother’s approach to ensuring her safety as she embarked on her first plane journey.
The video has sparked amusement online, with many likely to relate to the faith-filled practices some Nigerian parents observe in unfamiliar or potentially frightening situations.
Online users claim that news about an airplane crash could have contributed to th woman’s action.
