Any contraption by any kid becomes an invention.This guy is simply like many of us that had that manual dexterity and were able to put in the effort then.

He is brilliant and wants to build something.

around 3yrs back or less, kids were constructing a reading lamp with cartons, stick, plastics, batteries and energy saving bulbs... In fact, it became popular then and people were selling it out, it was cheap and affordable so alot of people bought it. I dont know if u remember it
yes I do remember it very well

Congrats to this young lad. Sadly, those who have the opportunity to study Engineering in university still play wiry their studies. Here is a boy who had no such opportunity yet he's actually doing "Engineering in Practical"
Baffles me when you call this engineering.... I'm starting to think introductory technology is the new engineering

Yes, agreed, you did it in jss3, how much practice have you done that you have to showcase like uchenna? Commend yourselves becos politicians, the rich and influential people will not commend you becos their children don't have the ideas that you have.

See his earlier work here https://www.nairaland.com/3467723/16-year-old-boy-aba-constructs-prototype

The 16-year-old boy in Aba(Abia State) named " Uchenna Okwu Sunday," whom I told you I saw his creativity in Aba previously; has constructed a prototype lamp for people living around who are Traders.

The story I heard is that him(Uchenna), have been repairing electrical fault in people's houses and teaches his mates which has made him more popular in his area. Recently, a man-trader came to him and asked him to help construct a lamp which will produce light while he sells at evening due to power failure in such area.

I was surprised to hear that in less than 24 hours, Uchenna has constructed this prototype lamp and gave to the man-trader. In addition, when other Traders saw it, they were amazed and they demanded he constructs for them too at which he sells #200 each.

When I interviewed him on how he constructed the lamp, I learnt he used a rubber type of plate, four pieces of wires, batteries, a plain wood, a burnt electric bulb that he inserted a torch bulb inside. This boy you see is a school-drop-out in his SS3 due to financial issues.
See photo of the Prototype Lamp below:
The kind of creativity Nigeria children possess is amazing, i vividly remember in our primary school days we use clay, iron, tins, rubber, wood, bamboo, palm, toothaste tubes etc to construct amazng things. As we grown up because of lack of enconragement, the whole natural skill fadded away. Our school system made us believe that it's only when you have certificate you can get good job. If it's to say, then they told us that it's only through creativity that you make big money, we will all develop our creative brain. The school system failed us. That is why, Many creative genius in the world are school drop out.
