Risikat was born in western Nigeria. When her parents first saw their dark-skinned daughter with bright blue eyes, they were concerned about her health, but the baby turned out to be completely healthy.
Ever since she was a child, Risikat was the center of attention because of her unusual appearance. The blue-eyed beauty was courted by many boys, but her choice fell on Abdul Oma-Dada.
Risikat married Abdul at the age of 22. She really hoped that their children would get the color of her eyes.The spouses have not been able to have children for a long time. Therefore, the news of Risikat’s pregnancy was the most pleasant and unexpected for all the relatives.
Nine months later a baby girl was born. The parents gazed into her eyes with bated breath and realized that her mother’s peculiarity was passed on to the little girl. She also looked at the world with bright blue eyes. However, Abdul did not like the increased attention to his daughter from his friends and neighbors. He tried to protect the little girl from strangers’ eyes, but the number of those wishing to admire her beauty was only growing.
As a result, the girl became a local celebrity, and Risikat and Abdul thought of having another child. But this time they would have preferred a child with a normal eye color, but the mother’s genes took over again. The couple’s second daughter also had blue eyes.
Abdul decided not to advertise this feature to avoid a second wave of popularity. Therefore, the girl was not shown even to relatives until she was five months old.
Risikat twice became a mother, giving her husband two beautiful girls. But raising children required not only time and desire, but also money, which the family did not have enough.
But everything was solved by itself: A local photographer captured a dark-skinned girl with blue eyes and her blue-eyed daughters in photos, which quickly spread around the world.
The photos quickly made the unusual family famous. Now many prophesy the girls’ careers as models or actresses. But all in good time. Now the girls are growing up and feel the support of their fans, whose number is growing every day. They are confident that they can succeed in life. We hope they will!
