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"

God bless you for this.

why do we keep saying this same thing anytime one young chap does some really basic stuff? i dont mean to write off his effort, but really, he hasnt done anything extra ordinary. kudos to him by the way, for doing what others have also done in the past.

From basic is improvement will come and from ordinary comes extraordinary, he could have been busy rolling tires on the street and playing war games but instead looking at things that our leaders cant provide for us and he is playing with it . . . . Bros, since Nigeria was born, she has been in darkness and still in darker darkness, so what the boy is doing, though he is not first, it is still commendable.

To be honest are Igbo's alright I taught it was something that was never seen before common bulb and plate with wire and battery is now an achievement. I have done this thing when I was 11years old. Bleep this people are so backwards common bulb? May shango strike the person that posted this nonsense

This is his talent, you don't have to consult any pastor or oracle to tell you the boy ministry on earth except you want to waste his talent. Just look for a best technical school in the country and enrol him for more education.
If this is talent I dont want it

I was in jss1 when I constructed this nonsense and I was only 11years old. U brought this old man picture to nairaland so that everybody would be surprise but only backward people can be surprised. In fact we supposed beat that man because he is 16years old he is just doing this nonsense. I was never a science student but this thing is simpler than what I have done before

This is sth EVERY good school is supposed to teach in physics


Now don't get me wrong, if that's what he loves doing I WILL encourage him BUT this is not a big deal

He is NOT an inventor

What he did is NOT special

This is NOT talent

Every kid can be able to do this. Was taught this in school at age 12/13

Is there something I am missing? How on earth will 3 small 1.2dcv tiger batteries light an incandescent bulb probably rated at 60 watts 220vac. Why did they not take a picture with the bulb lit up?
I designed far better circuits at 17. I was building am transmitters using simple transistors and inductors.
This is a celebration of mediocrity. I would only be slightly impressed if the boy was able to invert the DC current to 220VAC and then use it to drive the bulb ( even it it lasts a few seconds).

Edit
I made the above comment after reading the first 2 paragraphs and looking at the picture, so I did not see this;
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.
It still does not make sense. There is no way you can insert a touch bulb or anything else inside an incandescent bulb, because the inside of incandescent bulbs are kept at very low pressure ( to keep the tungsten filament from burning up). If you break the base you will break the glass.
It might be that he used LED, but then why bother to go throght the trouble of putting LED inside an incandescent bulb. Mallams make simple touches with a few LEDs mounted on CDs (compact discs).

yes, it is commendable. i am sure you read my commendation in my earlier post. i am however waiting to see the giant leap forward. from packaging toys to real manufacturing of useful things. God help us
