At age two, Jeremiah Owura Addo has exhibited exceptional qualities that affirm he’s too smart for a two-year-old.

The child prodigy made headlines in 2019 when a video of him displaying his unrivalled knowledge of the Bible and other topical matters surfaced on social media.

YEN.com.gh previously reported that two-year-old Jeremiah Owura Addo can recite all the names of the books in the Bible and even render many popular quotations effortlessly.

The child genius can virtually mention the capital city of any country in this world and the BBC in 2019 also reported that 2-year-old Addo has never stepped his foot in a classroom.

His father, Richard Addo revealed in an interview that he discovered his son could learn very fast when he turned one-year-old.

''His mind is like a magnet. Anything you teach him, it sticks very fast and he remembers very easily,'' Richard Addo told the BBC.

In a recent interview, Jeremiah Owura Addo, was videoed mentioning the scientific names of scorpion, chicken, the African elephant and some other animals.

YEN.com.gh previously reported that without proper background checks, Ghanaian comic actor Funny Face and Togolese footballing star Emmanuel Adebayor could easily be mistaken as family members considering the bond of friendship between the two.

One could dare say that Funny Face is more of a brother to Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor than the biological brother of the Togolese footballer. At least, when he’s here in Ghana.
