Since they've taken time to expose and ridicule these Nigerians, they should also take time to CELEBRATE (giving them front page headlines) many other Nigerians with laudable projects and inventions - that's FAIR JOURNALISM!

Some of dem did not come out to claim dey were d first to invent their discoveries.. They only came up with dis inventions to proffer solutions to existing problems (like in d case of d fuel-less and water-powered generators) and there's nothing wrong in dat.. Atleast it shows some of dem are quickly catching up to d rest of d world even though we are still far behind

There is nothing like fuel-less and/Or water-powered generator. Whoever told you he did such, either oyibo or black is a scammer. Infact, read the report again with focus on that generator part, it is a scam.

For instance, some Nigerians who called on the scientists to procure some of the fuel-less generators alleged that the scientists only dismantled their petrol generators and did some inexplicable connections to make them work like inverters.

To even assume a generator without energy source can exist is a clear indication that we are not learning anything not to talk of even following.

Again in 2019 they went back to the drawing board and came up with Next Level, this time it became a disaster.
2023, we Nigerians are hopeful that either Tinubu or Osibanjo will invent another magic trick from the ruins of their 8 years of blunder.

An academic should be curious, questioning, skeptical and critical. this is exactly how inventions come to reality.

Naija and the leaders abhor these kind of people.
Once you start reasoning this way, nobody will want to be your friend.

Are Nigerian youths really lazy?




Laziness on display in another form.



You must be extremely daft or mentally lazy to not have sensed the sarcasm in that comment. Don't try being mischievous this Monday morning because it won't do you good.

These your politicians that have been lying to the populace for time immemorial, are they more hardworking than the youths who wake up every morning to try and carve a niche for themselves??
What's the difference between these men up there and those public office holders who forged their certs/credentials??
The answer is simple; LIES

Don't try to always sound politically correct.. It is completely stupid calling others lazy because you got lucky.

See Nigerian thinking!

To them now, dem don catch thief.

So they dont need to believe anybody again. America, that is at the forefront of inventions, these people think America got there by mistake.

There were a lot of trials and errors along the way, false claims that led to actual inventions.

So when we see inventors who claim to have created an invention, we give them the chance to prove themselves and then build on that invention not drag them in the mud.

There are a thousand things wrong with this that I don't even know where to begin. Well we would have given them a chance to prove themselves if they had actually told us the truth from the get go instead of lying about their inventions. And usually their motivation is financial and about fleecing gullible people.

Damn! Nigerians always criticizing ourselves! For your information , there re other researchers who were actually the pre-inventors before your initial mentioned. Just get the Bleep out of here and say what you've got for us. Do not bring down others for your success, Remember, Success no sure for anybody, Life is trial and error.

I read the article and I remembered you called our attention to this, but I guess the comments from others later took a tribal dimension and people lost focus on what you were trying to draw our attention.

My point is dat if we are beginning to get to dismantling a petrol generator to make "inexplicable" connection on it to use waste, concert waste or reduce fuel consumption den we are getting there b dat.. Becos las las it is borne out of d need to alleviate what we are used to

That water generator guy's story is strange. It's like he pressurises the Easter then uses that water to run an induction motor. My question is how much power does the pressurisation consume?

The inexplicable connection was ultimately to redirect it to start working as inverters as stated in the report, which will even be less efficient than the inverter systems in the market, not to start using water. The whole thing na scam.

Even if we can't invent, we should be able to recognise one, if it truly is an invention before we start thinking of how to improve on it. But any wuru wuru arrangements like this water powered generators should be discouraged.

Rubbish write up. There's nothing new under the sun and at whatever point you discover a secret of nature, it becomes new to you. Especially if it can be applied to local challenges despite having already being deployed somewhere else.
Even the Patent act in Nigeria recognises that an invention is valid even it is not entirely new, but makes substantial improvements to an already existing invention.

About the fuel-less generator Emeka Nelson never claimed to be the pioneer of the first fuel-less generator set, neither did he also claim such ground in regards to the machine that converts waste to flammable gas
