A young Nigerian boy schooling in Ghana has left his classmates and teachers in awe after exhibiting his fluent Ga language skills.

In a trending video, the young boy introduced himself in the local Ghanaian language spoken by indigenes of the Greater Accra Region.

The boy said he was called Francis Ogunbiyi and hailed from Lagos State in Nigeria.

Francis, a basic school pupil, said he was 14 years old, adding that his favourite Ghanaian food was kenkey and fish.

"My favourite colour is red, and I also like basketball because I'm handsome," he said.

The 14-year-old Nigerian boy appeared to have moved to Ghana with his parents at a tender age.

The fluency with which he spoke the Ga language impressed a popular Ga language-focused content creator, James Town TV, who shared his video on Facebook.

In the caption accompanying the video, James Town TV praised the boy for his deep knowledge of the local language.

"A big shoutout to this young Nigerian who has started learning the Ga language and has already made impressive progress, becoming fluent in just a few months! The Ga language is truly one of the most powerful and sweetest languages in the world," the caption read.

Below are some of their reactions:

Nigerian content creator Brain Jotter speaks twi

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported earlier that Brain Jotter spoke Twi fluently to the amazement of many Ghanaians.

While in Ghana to promote an upcoming event, the content creator had interactions with fans in the local language.

Many Ghanaians who saw the video questioned how he was so fluent in the language as he was not a native speaker.
