A woman, Temoso Matilda, took to the #ImStaying Facebook group on Sunday to share the inspiring story of a creative man living in her village.

According to Matilda's post, the man built an entire airplane from scratch because he wanted to show the village kids who could not travel to an airport how they look up close.

Her post read:

"A Guy from our village just built an airplane from scratch till now to show our kids who cant go to the airport how a plane looks like. Bolobedu is blessed to have such talent."
