The young inventors, both 18 years of age, were at the reception held by Senator Chris Ngige after the burial of his late father, Pa Pius Okonkwo Ngige, who died at the age of 105.
According to the students of a local technical college, the helicopter was a project they embarked on based on their field of study and believe they would have done better had they gotten more sponsors from well-to-do Nigerians.

In fact, they said that they attended the burial reception because they believe they are likely to meet with the rich and mighty in the state and country who may help sponsor them to make their project even bigger.

One of them said: “The one we produced cannot fly yet because the things required for it to fly are not complete and it took us a while before we could come up with even this small one.

This is what they said "If we can get people to sponsor us, we are sure of getting more of this projects and even produce an even bigger one which will fly.”

And you must caption it Igbo? lols... Nigerians sha... Some go come too, Yoruba. Some, Arewa. Una no dey tire?.

OP, "manufacture" is a VERY BIG word. Most secondary school students, particularly those who are deeply rooted in arts are good at building "stuffs" out of almost anything they get hold of. What they have all been lacking however is the main thing; the engine, the soul and spirit of whatever they have built, until then, what those two boys are holding up there is nothing more than pieces of welded metals, nothing more.

Thank you jaaaare! Tired of the wrong use of words such as invent, manufacture etc when it comes to these sets of people.

It is more of fabrication a day they should in my opinion be discouraged because the process involved in the real thing is beyond they capabilities of just two young chaps without adequate or requisite training.

Besides the rich men they target would rather buy these boys the helicopter than sponsor dem
