Her Brinker practice routine

The wunderkind also meets with her coach at least twice a week with a new challenge of learning a new language or piece.

She also practices at home with her mom, setting aside at least 45 minutes every day to perfect her melodic voice.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a video shared on Instagram showed the moment a Nigerian man put a big smile on the face of a Nigerian kid working as a bricklayer at a construction site.

While the boy was plastering a wall, he stopped him briefly and handed him a wad of naira notes. He told him it is N30,000 and he can use it to pay his school fees or settle family needs.

The kind giver revealed that he would check him again and would love to meet his parents. He called another kid working on the same site and asked him to meet him outside for his own money.
