A social worker by name Ideba Edu Ele, spotted Divine Solomon, 16, selling his helicopter artwork on the streets of Calabar, made with zinc and carton.

Ideba Edu Ele, social worker, discovered the young artist, shared his stunning work on Twitter, and eventually helped him sell it for ₦100,000.

"At about 7:am today [Oct 18th], I visited Solomon home to inform him that I had sold his Artwork and he no longer had to look for buyers."

The Social Worker gathered some touching stories from the young boy.

She said that "he was abandoned by his father when he was 8 years old and left with his struggling Mother who hawks food to survive."

Solomon's mother by name Funyi Bassy pleaded that she needs help in her good business, "she shared that life has been difficult for them ever since her husband abandoned her."

It was said that the father of Solomon left them to marry someone else.

On Solomon's Ambition:

"Divine said he wants to be an Architect when he grows up, he pleaded for a scholarship to be awarded to him."

According to ANN Solomon at first refused her intention of taking photos and videos for awareness and possible sale of his craft rather than selling for a lower price because many "pretend to want to assist them. They would take pictures and videos and disappear."

But she assured him hers won't be the case;

"...I told him I had plenty followers and that he should be patient till atleast Monday and not sell this breathtaking work for that nonsense [₦]3,500 that one man had the mind to price him...", she says.
