The Director-General of Oranmiyan worldwide, a socio-political organization in Osun State, Mr. Sadiq Olajide, has offered scholarship to a seventeen-year-old public school student, Uba Humble Obinna, a naturally talented JSS 3 student of Christ African Middle School, Gbodofon, Osogbo, in the state capital.
The lucky boy, Obinna, caught the attention of Oranmiyan boss while he was on his way to school today armed with constructed miniature Hilux Van, Trailer, Power bike, Keke Napep, and Open Roof car.
When Mr. Sadiq asked him of his parent, he said his parents were not in Osogbo and that he is living with Mr. Nwakamma his elder brother at Salami Abbas Street Baruwa Area of Osogbo. He said after this term, he would be going back to his village because his parent could not afford to sponsor him further.
Obinna said he has been practicing the construction of Vehicles at the age of seven and that he wished to become an Engineer in the future.
He disclosed that he can also sing hip-hop but he only needed someone that will sponsor his education so that his dreams will come to reality.
Out of his magnanimity, Oranmiyan Director General promised to sponsor his education, while emphasizing that this is what the society was looking out for, Olajide said that if Obinna is encouraged, a lot of talented children like him will spring up.
He urged other students in the State to emulate Uba Humble Obinna in whatever they were doing.
