Screen grab from the video of the four sisters celebrating their mother Credit: jesudunmolonge
Four sisters have celebrated their mother in an emotional ceremony after all four qualified as lawyers, days after the 2026 Call to Bar ceremonies.
A video circulating captured the sisters dressed in full legal regalia, including black robes and white wigs, kneeling on a platform inside a photography studio as they paid tribute to their mother.
The video, captioned, “POV: You raised four daughters and every single one became a lawyer,” was also shared by the sisters on Sunday on their Instagram pages @jesudunmolonge, @thejesuferanmilonge, @jesupologo__ and @jesusepataki__bola.
It showed their mother, dressed in a pink lace outfit, walking up to the platform to greet them.
As she approached, the four sisters remained on their knees while the words, “Mummy, We are grateful,” appeared on the screen.
Their mother gently touched each of them on the head in a gesture of blessing before helping them to their feet.
The family then celebrated together, dancing and smiling, while the video concluded with one of the sisters performing a solo dance in her legal attire.
Sharing the video, the sisters wrote, “The proudest title isn’t MUM. It’s ‘Mother of four lawyers.’”
The tribute comes days after the 2026 Call to Bar ceremonies, held from July 7 to July 10 at the Body of Benchers Complex in Abuja, where thousands of law graduates were admitted to the Nigerian Bar after completing their professional legal training.
The video has since attracted widespread reactions on social media, with many users praising the family’s show of gratitude and celebrating the mother’s role in raising four daughters who all qualified for the legal profession. (The PUNCH)
