His name is Albert Ofosu Nketia, and he is 7 years old. One of the most well-liked videos in recent memory, it has been trending on many social media sites recently, including TikTok, WhatsApp, Twitter, and others.
In a matter of seconds, Albert was seen laughing after being shown in a video crying and has since become famous as a result of his video going viral.
Mother of the young kid Rosina revealed the context of the video, which many people have found amusing, in an interview with Oyerepa at his home in Kumasi.
She claimed that Albert broke down in tears because he was denied a certain dinner one Saturday. He started laughing when his grandmother tried to comfort him by singing a silly tune.
He stated that he wanted to eat yam on a Saturday. I didn’t have any at home when I was doing the washing, so I wasn’t sure if I should stop and go to the store to buy any. But I had unripe plantain at the time so I cooked it for him.
“When Albert saw the stew and remembered how well it would have gone down with boiled yam rather than the plantain, he started crying.
“In the beginning, we convinced him to eat it and when he ate it till it was left with two fingers, his grandmother asked him, ‘so you ate this plantain’ then he started crying again. In an effort to make him stop crying, Nana (his grandmother) started singing a peculiar song for him and then the laughter came in in the process till it stopped,” she added.
The film was not intended to leave their house, according to Rosina his mother, and the response to its disclosure by a neighboring acquaintance wasn’t favorable.
“I didn’t know what to do the first day I watched the video, and if I had found the person who leaked the film on that day, I would have made it a police case,” she added. “I believed it was a video that was recorded by his uncle to deliver to his father.
Albert couldn’t send it, so it stayed on the phone, he continued. But when his uncle sold the phone, the buyer had access to the footage, which his friend then transferred and made public.
I didn’t even answer when the aforementioned man greeted me when he saw me later since I assumed he might have told me about it.
Although Albert was born without any unique skills, his mother added that he later developed various ailments that made him a unique kid. Nonetheless, he is still in his formative years and is being prepared by his mother, a teacher of young people.
He was placed in an incubator when he was 7 months old, on and off, and when he began to grow, I knew it was a condition. But, with the help of physiotherapy and other treatments, he began walking at the age of 3. He is a kindergartener. I assist him with his homework when he gets home from school, the man said.
