#OperationFindTaju: Help Find Smart Boy, Taju, Whose Video is Going Viral

Ace comedian, Ali Baba has launched a search for a 5-year-old smart little boy by the name Taju, whose video is currently going viral. In the short video, the uneducated little boy confidently attempted answering questions thrown at him by an adult, pun intended.

To help the little boy get an education, Nigerians championed by Alibaba are on the search for the little boy and his parents.

Ali Baba shared the video and wrote:

”This my dear friends, is where the problems of our education starts from. This baby, exuding such confidence and great spirit… and visible sense of humour has no education.

You can see that he wants to learn with that question. “KINI OO SO?” What should my response be? And this is what happens when children who can not read and write, get pushed to school at age 6.

They then get into the hands of teachers like the person who was recording the video. Who, instead of teaching the child what to say, calls him Oloribu. The child hears that, then realises he should have said something else, and asks what he should have said.

Trust me, at this age, the currency of education should be engraved in that little boy, and that my dear friends, is what then makes him hungry for knowledge. Help me find this boy. And he will amaze you in 1 year. #OperationFindTaju.”

Taju also received a 500k pledge from Nigerian record producer, singer, Don Jazzy towards sending him to school.

According to comedian, AY, other celebs have also contributed towards Taju’s schooling.

”Don Jazzy just reached out to me with 500k waiting for little Taju to go to school. We are still waiting to get proper information concerning meeting with him and his parents in Ibadan.

Many thanks to @sotayogaga @funmiawelewa @adeniyijohnson who shared the video to our notice. I am so sure with the involvement of @moabudu @falzthebahdguy @iamsmade @_kehindebankole @iambimbothomas and other well meaning Nigerians we shall make this happen to many other Tajus out there. God bless you all. #tajugoestoschool” he wrote.
