A polytechnic in Lagos has produced its first prototype of a drone. Lagos City authorities have said, if developed fully, the state could employ the drones for security surveillance.

A talented 17-year-old David Opateyibo heads up the development of a drone which authorities in Lagos hope to deploy for security surveillance. The drone, a high breed mix of existing drone components and locally fabricated material, seems to fly normally but David says there is a lot more room for improvement.

“Aside from using drones for aerial surveillance, you can also use them for aerial photography and videography, or for broadcasting, incidence control or pipeline and power line inspection. You can also use drones in agriculture, to analyze farm produce,” David said in an interview.

nice.
We are truly the achitect of our own problem.

The brilliant ones will still shine and the dull ones might not improve.
Sometimes,it is what you have in your brain that matters

Impressive! I pray they employ him o...

See what this small boy is doing to help our lives. And that old Buhari is there messing up our country. Useless thing!

Great brains if only the government will know the right thing to do... Boy God will make you soar higher

Polytechnic education is the key to technological development .Until we learn to recognize polytechnic graduates like their university counterparts ,Nigeria will continue to rely on importation of foreign goods.

wonderfull... I proud of him

we have the beta resources (minds) but we lack the people who can utilize it to help both the minds and the society.

Wonderful brilliant work

very good of him I pray his effort is appreciated.
I don't know if this my observation is false but I observed that anytime a boy, not Yahoo boys hits FP it is mostly about creativity,remember the boy that built keke napep with Dunlop (flip flop) but anytime a girl not a woman o,a girl like 17-20,it would be about "Nigerians react that her has is bigger than 19, first 18 year old model showing her pant and telling us she's showing her flawless body" why? Nigerian babes over to u
playing mr easi's holl up-u think say the world dey revolve around ur bum bum

David Opateyibo

Omo Yoruba ni mi o!

Very interesting, kudos boy
We are our own problem, if only we could find a way past that or at least around it... The world will talk about us

Afonja always innovating

op stop posting crap, thats not the first locally made drone in nigeria

wow proudly an afonja Wetyn Dem flatrons dey build ---an empire of fake drugs republic I think last time I checked google

now this is something to be proud of..

kudos to him.

but are you kidding me ..how can the authorities think of deploying a drone like this..common..they should opt for something more durable and reliable

THE DJI PHANTOM is there for them to purchase.

it take alot more than just adding rotating blades to get an actual working drone..what about the app..for control..micro processor and stuff..mapping..the list goes on and on.

am not trying to undermine his effort here..he really did well and am proud of him..am just stating the obvious

someone like him need to be sent to MIT in the USA for further studies..the Nigerian government are suppose to invest in brilliant mind such as these.

iPod piglets running away from this thread like...

that's a good work he did, but it's not the first in Nigeria. I know someone from FUTA that finished from Mechanical Engineering two years ago that built something like that, and P.S it's called a quad-copter, last session again, they upgraded and built an Oct-copter... my Dept mate is also building a quad-copter as his final year project.

Cool

See as this thread dry
If na bbn everywhere go full

after all the breaking news of a bomb attacks in Russian with our NAIJA normal problems. I'm sleeping tonight with news worthy of hearing... Kudos to the SCH and the lad for this innovative information...

Our leaders will never give a damm because they dont want the poor to make it in life they were alway jealous because their choldren are empty barrel.

and you think if the boy is like you he would have achieved that?

These people are just clowns..

I wonder how a sensible will believe this. A boy drawing and cutting paper built a drone... Una swallow hook line and sinker.
