Adopted Son Of Saddick Adams Shines, Graduates With Distinction

A heartwarming story of his adoptive son, Dominic Fobih, fondly known as “Professor,” and his remarkable journey from a remote town in Assin Kwamoabeng to becoming one of the best students at a school in Accra has been told by media personality and sports broadcaster Saddick Adams. Saddick Adams described how he first met Dominic in July 2020 after watching a video of the 9-year-old youngster promoting sports on a WhatsApp group. His Facebook post has subsequently sparked feelings and appreciation on social media. “Sometimes random people will see me at a funeral or shopping mall and ask, “where is that your small boy”. Police will stop me at a checkpoint and ask, “where’s that your boy”…. Well… Back to July 2020. I saw on a WhatsApp group page, a 9-year-old boy presenting sports. I instantly believed was destined for greatness. I enquired on his whereabouts. He was in a village of Assin Kwamoabeng. I asked that he be brought to Accra on my sports show. He was so good Dr Kwaku Oteng watched and suggested if I could drive to his village the next day to ask his parents to allow the boy move to Accra to live with me and school under his sponsorship. The drive to the village and the curcumstances of the village meant that what I had thought were struggles of my childhood was instead luxury. No motorable road, no electricity, no mobile network, no television and less than five mud houses. He had just completed stage six and was the best student in the village. The JHS was miles away from his village so like their dad, most of his nine siblings ended up as hunters & farmers, after six. Because the daily trek to the next two towns to pursue upper primary education was an obstacle. But this boy was coming to the city of Accra. The parents allowed and he came with us. The real challenge was getting a quality school in Accra. The boy was naturally smart but the level of education in the small village of Assin Kwamoabeng Primary meant he was miles apart with his peers in the city. Some of the schools demanded entrance exams. Most of the questions were things he had never been taught or read before in his life. In the end, they can’t admit him and those that would admit him on condition he’s moved further lower in class. One of the best schools in Accra saw beyond his patent defects and admitted him. The beginning was tough but with encouragement and extra work, he gradually caught up. He had never seen a computer before when be came but in few years, he was leading coding sessions in class. Yesterday, he graduated, receiving one of the top student awards. Ladies and Gentlemen, “Professor” Dominic Fobih is a graduate and a computer shark.Adopted Son Of Saddick Adams Shines, Graduates With Distinction

Saddick recounted how he first encountered Dominic in July 2020 after seeing a video of the then 9-year-old confidently presenting sports news in a WhatsApp group. Deeply impressed, he felt the boy was destined for greatness.

His recent Facebook post narrating Dominic’s journey has since touched many hearts and sparked widespread appreciation online.

“Sometimes random people would see me at a funeral or in a shopping mall and ask, ‘Where’s that young boy of yours?’
Police officers would stop me at checkpoints just to ask, ‘Where’s that boy?’

Well… back to July 2020. I saw this 9-year-old boy on a WhatsApp group presenting sports and I immediately felt he had something special.

I inquired about him and learned he was living in a village called Assin Kwamoabeng. I arranged for him to appear on my sports show in Accra. His performance was so impressive that Dr. Kwaku Oteng called me afterward and suggested I drive to the village to speak with his parents about letting him move to Accra for schooling—under Dr. Oteng’s sponsorship.”

Saddick described the trip to the village as eye-opening. The harsh conditions made him realize that what he once considered a difficult childhood was, in comparison, a privilege. “There were no motorable roads, no electricity, no mobile network, no television just a few mud houses. Dominic had just completed stage six and was the best student in the village.

The nearest junior high school was miles away, and like their father, most of his nine siblings ended up as farmers or hunters after class six, simply because the distance to further education was too great a burden.”

Dominic’s parents agreed to let him go, and he moved to Accra. But the transition wasn’t easy. “Finding a quality school was a challenge. Although Dominic was naturally intelligent, the educational gap between him and his peers in the city was vast.

Some schools required entrance exams, but the questions were beyond anything he had been exposed to. Some rejected him outright. Others agreed to admit him only if he was moved several grades backward.

Finally, one of Accra’s top schools looked past his limitations and accepted him. It was tough at first, but with constant encouragement and extra support, he gradually caught up.

He had never used a computer before, but within a few years, he was leading coding sessions in class.”

Now, after years of dedication and hard work, Dominic has graduated earning one of the school’s top student awards.

“Ladies and gentlemen, ‘Professor’ Dominic Fobih is now a graduate and a whiz at computers.”
