If Buhari were in power, he would have shot them dead at Bar beach.. [/b]

This got me rotflmao

ehie: great invention

It is a hoax

a1solution: ITS A GOOD INVENTION BUT IT CAME LATE AS NIGERIANS WOULD BEGIN TO ENJOY UNINTERRUPTED POWER SUPPLY AS FROM THE FIRST QUARTER OF YEAR 2013. THEY SHOULD HURRY UP TO SELL THE FEW THEY CAN SELL WITHIN THE REMAINING TWO MONTHS TO 24/7 ELECTRICITY IN NIGERIA

this is the dumbest post I ever read on this page.... fo0l hoping for some miracle

Very sad! One more bad publicity for our image. We just keep shooting ourselves in the foot and turning ourselves into a laughing stock and a scam nation. That principal is an eediot!

Okija juju all the screws in ur head are in the correct place
I wonder Y anyone would believe this stuff. Bravo on the attempt to get alternate source of fuel but I still see a gen in that pic so nothing was manufactured just alteration.
Okija loved the analysis am not an engineer but I could follow ur train of thought.

Well good attempt by the girls let's all encourage them who knows what they'll come up with next.

Wao, i pray its true.

For making an attempt at something, they've tried, but they have a long way to go and should not spoil it with their bogus claims.

Pennywise: Hmmnn. My urine go quench that generator (unless if not be yoruba girl make am).

HAHAHAHAAAAAAA

To protect the generator from your urine...

vanstanzy:

PLZ GIVE THESE GIRLS A BREAK.
WHEN I SEE SOMETHING GOOD I'LL SAY IT. THESE GIRLS HAVE DONE WELL USING THEIR INGENUITY.
YES ITS A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT THAT CAN LEAD TO AN ALL IMPORTANT INVENTION 2MORROW.

Its people like you that are the problem of this country. Someone did a science experiment that anyone can copy from the internet and says he has invented something and you say we should applaud them? Then why do you crtiticize politicians who lie? Distasteful!

Is it a hoax when even BBC carries it?

Africa gathers in Lagos for Maker Faire
By Jane Wakefield
Technology reporter
A generator that runs on urine,designed by three 14-year-old school girls, was on show

The Maker movement - which encompasses traditional handicrafts through to cutting-edge robotics, is growing exponentially around the world with spin-off Maker Faires popping up all over the globe.

Maker Faire Africa is now independent and this year's promises to be the biggest and best yet.

"Our inventions have largely stayed hidden in the 'punk of the bush' and the outer reaches of the informal sector until now," reads the introduction on its website.

The falling price and availability of off-the-shelf electronics have put low-cost tech innovations centre stage at such events but it is in Africa where many people see home-made inventions having a real impact on people's lives.

"While western fairs are creative they are aimed at hobbyists, whereas in Africa it is more about practical need," said Erik Hersman, the man behind the global phenomenon of crowdsourcing crisis-mapping platform Ushahidi. "The future of Africa is in innovative engineering."

He is also one of the founders and organisers of the Maker Faire Africa, describing it affectionately as "loosely controlled chaos".

He talked the BBC through some of his favourite things on show in Lagos.

any of Africa's greatest innovators are those who see a need for a particular machine and set about making one, often ploughing years of their lives into perfecting them.

Pairing engineering know-how with the needs of farming is a powerful combination in Africa and no-one exemplifies this better than 65-year-old engineer Sulaiman Famro who went to the US to complete his graduate education in the 1970s and then returned to Nigeria.

There he has created the Farmking - basically a portable processing plant for root crops and grains.

He spent his own money and time on perfecting it and the first prototype was completed three years ago.

It has a diesel-powered engine that allows for remote processing, with power connections for lighting so that it can work all night, if needed.

It can process core crops such as cassava, soya beans, maize, sweet potatoes, yam and many other roots and grains. One of the more interesting uses for it is the capture of starch. The traditional method of processing cassava allows starch to seep into the ground, which is, says Mr Famro, very wasteful.

He claims he can save the country $1bn a year, just in savings on starch importation and is currently lobbying governors of different Nigerian states to get the Farmking into their areas.


15-year-old Odo Gerald has been wowing audiences at this year's fair. His biggest fans are small boys, fascinated by the moving toys he has made entirely out of scrap materials.

Odo has made four toys over the last four months, including a dump truck, excavator and a helicopter. Using painted plywood, syringes, wire, water and small tubes along with a motorcycle battery to run it all, the miniature machinery packs some cunning hydraulic action.

The toys started off as a school project but quickly outgrew what his teachers expected. His next big project is to make a small helicopter that he can get off the ground.

This year the fair is specifically reaching out to the youth audience with two tents on site aimed at giving children the chance to play and create. On hand is robotic Lego and electronic kits such as Littlebits, a kit of circuits that snap together with magnets and allow users to incorporate light, sound and movement.

For older children there are Arduino microprocessors and a 3D printer to

uch of the Maker Faire Africa is about mashing up things that already exist to create something new, better and more usable.

Ibrahim Adekunle and Shola Omoniyi have been attracting a crowd with their new take on a stretch limo.

The Tricycle Limo can hold up to 12 people, plus driver while a smaller Tricycle Jeep can hold five people, plus driver. Both vehicles cost between 100,000-200,000 naira ($600-$1,200; £375-£750) to rent for the day, and are often on call for weddings, carnivals and other events.

The Tricycle Limo cost about 1.5m naira ($9,500; £5,900) to make, and about two weeks to put together. As it is long - about 5m (16ft) - the chassis is strengthened using a long piece of pipe.

The jeep version uses a tuk-tuk chassis (a motorised rickshaw) and a two-cylinder engine from a vehicle. The front grill can hold 100kg (220lb) of weight, meaning it can be used for carrying bags of rice, jerry cans of water, or for mounting speakers on at events.

The invention is simple but for Mr Hersman, it represents how youngsters can use their own making skills to become entrepreneurs.

"For a lot of young men it is hard to find a job and these two are doing this both for fun and to make it into a business," he said.

RECYCLING BIKE


The scheme benefits the founders and those who give up their rubbish
Modified bicycles have been making the rounds of Lagos cleaning up and recycling five tonnes of rubbish since August.

Wecyclers.com is the brainchild of Billikiss Abiola, from Nigeria and Jonathan Kola, from Kenya who together came up with the simple plan to get people in Lagos to recycle aluminium and plastic.

The bicycles are welded to a trailer, making a tricycle that can carry large bags of sorted waste. Each bike costs approximately $500 (£300) to build, though those prices will come down as they start making more.

The project has gained the attention of the Lagos Waste Management Authority.

While the basic idea is low-cost, behind it lies in a database which records all the waste people have recycled and scores them based on the amount and type of recycled stuff.

Those involved in the scheme are sent a text to let them know how they are doing and every three months there is an event where people can redeem their points for real goods. The people with the most points also get prizes.

The two founders have also tied up with large firms, such as Coca-Cola, which sponsors the prizes and pays for the costs of the event, giving out items like raincoats, backpacks, pens, notebooks and water bottles.

ehie: i dont think its a hoax

Did you not see the generator they bought in the picture? Which one did they invent again? They tried to power it with hydrogen from urine which is a good initiative but they didn't invent a generator. Using Hydrogen to power generators already exist but is not commercially viable.

Yorobbers and their scam. Urine from yorrober girls to power generator? This people called yorrobers are just ridicling Nigerians. You want to start selling urine now abi? Laugh wan kill meoo

Yoruba girls aren't that smart [not at that age anyway]. Na to find husband and get pregnant be their number one priority, it's instilled in their mindset from a very young age.

Cleanman: Abeg help me ask the nicompoop

That is no invention please!The South Koreans are on top of this -using Hydrogen from water as fuel! the preoblem is water is form on combustion which causes rust in engines and exhuast. The world is far far ahead than you think. It is clear your four girls are being used!

what is your own with the denial,the girls went to a fair called the makers faire and they showed their invention along with othyer invention,are you too lazy to click the BBC link or is THE BBC LINK A HOAX TOO.WHY ARE U SO ADAMANT THAT THE PEOPLE COULD NOT HAVE MADE THAT INVENTION?ARE YOU A SCIENTIST?

menix:
Tot I was. D only 1 dat noticed dis. As I tuck in my rod back d machine container holla "Thank you for banking.wiv us"

U guys r 2 funny
