Wonders will never stop happening in this life sha. A Nigerian teenager, Reuben Nsemoh, accidentally got kicked in the right side of his head during a football game.

After going into shock and a 3-day coma, the 16-year-old woke up but the strangest thing happened., he began to speak fluent Spanish.

In a conversation with TIME, an excited Reuben explained how he got seizures whenever he tried to speak English.

Na wa o! Because oversabi scientists have an answer to almost everything, doctors have described what Reuben went through as ‘Foreign accent syndrome’.

Currently, Reuben can speak both languages fluently although his Spanish is slowly fading away.

Here’s wishing Reuben speedy recovery! What do you think of this story? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
