Nicholas Buamah, an 8-year-old prodigy has caught the attention of international TV host, Steve Harvey, with a book he has written, and now, Harvey wants to buy 555 copies of the book.

The child author was on the ‘The Steve Harvey Show’ and demonstrated how learned and intelligent he was by voicing some vocabularies that the host couldn’t understand.

According to a Ghanaweb.com report picked up by YEN.com.gh, Buamah taught Steve Harvey the meaning of words such as “exacerbate”, a move which aided him to promote his book titled “Kayla and Kyle the Walking Dictionaries: Election Day”.

During the interview, Nicholas revealed to Steve Harvey that he aims to get his book into every elementary school library in the US and to donate some to schools in his native country, Ghana.

“My goal is to get my book into every elementary school library in the United States and another one, is to donate some books to take to Ghana to give to the schools and libraries and another one is to get enough subscribers for my Youtube channel because I’m doing a 30-seconds word where I will teach you a word in 30-seconds or less,” Buamah said.
