A hilarious video of a Ghanaian mum's reaction to her son's flying surprise has gone viral on social media. The son, Kwesi, who lives in the UK with his family, had secretly trained to become a private pilot and wanted to give his mum the thrill of her life.

Kwesi had always dreamed of being a pilot, and his mum was his biggest supporter. But she had no idea that he had been learning how to fly and had earned his wings. He decided to show her his skills by taking her on a plane ride, and he captured her priceless reactions on camera.

He posted the video on his Instagram handle skyking_233 in 2021, with the caption: "My mum has always been my biggest supporter, and she knew I always wanted to be a pilot. What she didn’t know was I’d been learning how to fly and kept it as a surprise for her. I couldn’t just TELL her I’d earned my wings, I had to SHOW her. And thankfully I caught her raw reactions on camera 😩😂 Enjoy!

In the video, Kwesi's mum is seen sitting in the passenger seat of a small plane, unaware that her son is the pilot. When he announces to her that he is going to fly the plane, she starts to panic and scream, saying "you won't fly this plane. Where do you think you are going, Kwesi stop! stop!"

Kwesi tries to calm her down by showing her his licence, but she is not convinced. She reluctantly agrees to let him fly the plane, but as soon as they take off, she begs him to land again.

As they touch down safely, Kwesi's mum takes out her phone and records her son piloting the plane, with a big smile on her face. She says, "that's my sneaky boy."

The video was recently shared by Twitter user @niilexis and reposted by @AsieduMends, and it has generated a lot of laughter and comments from other users.

Many people said that Kwesi's mum's behaviour was typical of Ghanaian mothers, who are protective and cautious of their children.

Others praised Kwesi for fulfilling his dream and giving his mum such an unforgettable experience. Some even wished that they could do the same for their own mothers someday.
