A nine-year-old boy from Imo state has caught the attention
of some prominent Nigerians after video clips of him singing a gospel song in a
melodious manner surfaced on social media.
Stella Oduah, a senator representing Anambra north, had
during the weekend, shared a video wherein the little boy, identified as
Oluomachi Joseph Opara, can be seen singing a Christian song — known in
Catholic church as offertory hymns.
“Kedu ihe m ga e meere Chineke, Odogwu n’agha (translated
as: what will I do for my creator, the almighty in battle),” his voice rings
out in high pitch in the less than 60-second footage.
This amazing sonorous angel MUST be encouraged so I ask anyone that knows his whereabouts to help me locate him.— Senator Stella Oduah (@stellaoduah) June 20, 2020
A full scholarship and also classes at our Music School awaits him already.
Thank you. pic.twitter.com/Ggk7XQ5mGq
“This amazing sonorous angel must be encouraged so I ask anyone that knows his whereabouts to help me locate him,” the senator wrote, after which she promised the kid a full scholarship and “classes at our music school”.
A Twitter user immediately responded to Oduah’s tweet with
another video of the boy singing melodiously, while another shared details of
his family, including the father’s phone number.

kid while also promising to sponsor his education to “Catholic priesthood (his

I urge others to help him too. This talented, gifted and blessed child should NOT be hawking and selling things in the streets. 2/4— Femi Fani-Kayode (@realFFK) June 20, 2020
