Meet The 9-Year-Old Boy With Voice That Caught The Attention Of Gov Uzodinma, Others

A nine-year-old boy 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,” 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.

Oduah’s post started to gain traction on the microblogging platform, raking in over 20,000 likes and 200,000 views in a very short while.
