A young talented boy from the Coal City of Enugu, South East, Nigeria has just scored another international reputable recognition by displaying his locally constructed airplane to the public. He made the little aircraft in the shape of a jet using locally sourced metal and other materials.
In spite of the beautiful shape achieved in the construction of the local airplane, one major issue is elusive. The airplane does not have a functional engine. The lad had only concentrated his talent solely to build a nice shape of jet with local metal sheet and bars,
However, while some people really admire such young talents, others with a blink of somewhat jealousy express criticism. Read their crude and discouraging comments below:
“Na wao… Can it fly? Cos aeroplane flies. Not putting metal together and giving it a shape of an aeroplane then bringing it to public viewing..When will Nigeria stop feeding on carcass of western worlds? Still kudos to the boy,” Amdoyin wrote.
“Great! Keep it up boy! If our country wants a future,they should pick boys like this and develop them immediately by sending them to abroad for further studies. This guy can begin building planes in the future for Nigerian Air plane Manufacturing Company N.A.M.C. I just coined that one!” Ideyontop noted.
“High time all these things are discouraged. No matter how hard they try, the art of aircraft manufacturing is not a one man thing, it requires high tech brains.”
“Maybe to join a toy-making company because that’s what I can see there. So many unknown people make toy cars, toy guns etc, so I don’t think this should be news. It’s not all about putting metals together and producing another toy; it’s about making something functional,” Jesumed wrote.
Two months ago, a group of students from the University of Lagos showed their talents and constructed an eco-friendly car.
According to the students, the car does not diffuse gas and does not make use of fossil fuel. The car made of locally sourced materials was built under the Project Dove Initiative.
Nigerian students who study abroad also impress teachers with their talents and outstanding abilities.
Earlier this year, Ufot Ekong broke a 50 year record in Japan after graduating with a first class degree and best overall student from Tokai University in Tokyo.
Asides from studying hard, Ufot works at Nissan, where he has already made two patented products. Recently, he has developed an electric car that could go as fast as 128 kilometers per hour.
