For the past few days, an undated video of a young boy has been making rounds on social media.
In the video in question, the young boy now identified as Albert Ofosu Nketia could be seen crying before busting into laughter midway.
The Boy is 7 years and reportedly battling a speech impediment.
Many people have been using the young boy’s video to make TikTok videos or Instagram reels.
The family claims the video was leaked and they wanted to go to the police.
Here is what you need to know about him.
His name is Albert Ofosu Nketia.
He is Ghaniaian.
He is 7 years old.
He has speech-impaired difficulties. He was hospitalized for 7 months when his family noticed his challenge.
He has two other siblings.
The reason for his crying, then laughing is because of his mother who explained to local media that he was crying because he wanted to eat yams, but she didnt have that.
She instead cooked for him plantains and offered a delicious meal to him.
“It was a Saturday and he said he wanted to eat yam, I was washing at the time and I didnt have any at home so I didnt know if I should stop and go to the market. But I had unripe plantain so I cook it for him” she shared the details about the moment.
She said the reason for the crying was because he thought the stew would not taste as good as the plantain.
“When he saw the stew and remembered how well it would go down with the boiled yam, rather than the plantain he started crying” she shared.
The boy ate the meal then his grandmother asked him why he was making a fuss in the beginning. The boy cried some more, and to appease him she sang for him. He broke out in laughter.
The video was taken by his uncle, who intended to send it to Alberts’s father, but never did so.
The uncle sold his phone without deleting the contents of the phone. Whoever bought it saw it, and shared it online, much to the annoyance of the family.
