Photos of a Nigerian family whose five daughters are all lawyers have taken social media by storm.

The family reportedly comprises Dr Tor Uja, the executive secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission, his wife, Berry, and their five daughters, who are lawyers.

Dr Uja and his wife are said to have been married for 35 years.

Facebook users have been congratulating the family for what they say is a remarkable feat that is worthy of an entry into the Guinness Book of Records.

“Couldn’t have been easy raising you girls. Here’s a toast to Tor and Bellie. Congratulations,” a Facebook user called Voila said.

“Now that’s really impressive. I’m sure your parents are super proud of you all. Congratulations to your family,” another user by name Jennifer said.

There are suggestions that this is the only Nigerian family that has five daughters who are all lawyers.
