A Nigerian Man in Warri Delta State has been reported to have
reconstructed his tricycle (‘Keke Napep’) turning it into some
thing like a helicopter.
The reconstructed tricycle looks very much like a helicopter but
has no spinning, wings or blades to fly.
One of those who commended the innovation, Okoye Godwin
Muna Jnr, said: “Some people will look at this and say the keke
man is stupid for wasting his time to build something like this,
but this is to show you that people in this part of the world are
highly innovative and in dying need of a platform that will shape
them into world class standards.
But they are in the wrong side of the map their talents will only
end in the front page of newspapers and bloggers using them to
get likes and views.
“Talents like this should be fished out in any village it is and sent
on a special training that kind of passion can create a multi-
million dollar business that will be beneficial to his community.
“We need a revolution!! We need to wake up!! We need to get
things right in this part of the world!!!”
Another respondent, Michael Ogunronbi, described the innovation
as very creative.
He said: “In developed world, these kinds of talents become Bill
Gate, Mark Zukerberg, etc. In Nigeria, they become destructive
militants, BokoHaram, etc. Pity!”
A Nigerian, Omonire Ovwigho Isaac, said from the innovation, it
showed that the man constructed the helicopter from the
scratch.
“In Nigeria the only sellable talent is music and comedy and
that's why people are going extra mile to do wicked jazz and
rituals to get celebrated.
“But the man who builds car, helicopter, aeroplane, ship, guns
and etcetera is to die without caring about him and his talent,” he
said.
