A young Nigerian boy, Chidera Ikeoha, wrote a book while in Primary 6 and sold it in motor parks.

Diaspora digital media (DDM) gathered that Chidera demonstrated great determination by carrying copies of his book to motor parks, personally advertising and selling them to travelers.

His story gained attention after a post about his efforts went viral on X (formerly Twitter), drawing massive public admiration.

The post described how the boy walked from one park to another, urging commuters to buy his self-published book.

His resilience and commitment to promoting his work despite his young age caught the interest of many Nigerians online.

EduCare, a scholarship foundation, noticed his story and decided to award the young boy a lifetime scholarship.

The organization also pledged to publish his book on Amazon and provide him with full financial and educational support.

The first post that introduced Chidera read, “Meet Nigeria’s youngest author, Chidera Ikeoha, who wrote a book in Primary 6.”

A follow-up update announced, “Chidera Ikeoha has been awarded a lifetime scholarship by EduCare and will now focus on education.”

Many Nigerians celebrated the young boy’s achievement, praising his dedication and hardworking spirit in the comments section.

One user, @TraderZeus, wrote, “Youngest author from Nigeria? I guess the pen really is mightier than the playground!”

Another user, @TheShePatriot, shared a personal experience, “I’ve been writing since Primary 4, but I never sold my books.”

User @kothwayyy commented, “I wrote novels at Basic One, but publishing costs stopped me from selling.”

Reflecting on Nigeria’s societal changes, @PHCEGE wrote, “We once celebrated this, but now we celebrate nudity. I hope this inspires positive change!”

Another commenter, @IKECHUKWUU4926, prayed for the boy’s future, writing, “He will go very far. May God help him.”

Chidera’s journey showcases not only his personal determination but also the power of education and creativity.

His story encourages other young children to pursue greatness despite financial or societal limitations.
