In this small area of Guinea-Conakry, in Bolodou, the inhabitants will no longer need to use battery-operated lamps to light at night, thanks to the crazy project of Ibrahima Tounkara.

This young mathematics teacher decided to launch a project with all his savings to provide electricity 24 hours a day to 90 households in his village. This project is based on the construction of a micro-dam on a small torrent through the locality. The plant produces today a power of 9 kW.

Since last May, Ibrahima Tounkara has become a hero in his native village. This all-in-one managed to install the hydroelectric dam on the Gbasso torrent, which runs through Bolodou.

It was a success for this project, which no one dared to bet at the beginning.

"In the village, I was initially taken for a madman when I explained that I wanted to build a hydroelectric dam. But I was convinced that I could find a solution to create energy in Bolodou. I grew up there, my family lived there, and I was always flabbergasted that nothing was done for the development of these small villages that are completely cut off from the world." said

"In addition to my work as a mathematics teacher, I have always been interested in energy production. I initially started a project around solar panels. I learned to install them, which allowed me to make money by offering my services to families who wanted one at home. I also built a small phone charging booth that runs to solar power in Bolodou. Little by little, I did research on hydroelectric power. In Bolodou, there are small waterfalls that are not at all enhanced...

There are many guys like this in Nigeria.

The problem is that the system will efficiently reset your brain.

Even oyinbo or IJGB wey land Naija 6 months ago don begin dey manifest craze.

Funny enough if you try to dam any water way no matter how small in order to generate electricity the Nigerian Govt would clamp down on you ..I remember trying to build a small wooden bridge for a community that was having problems always crossing a small water way and next day the Local govt authorities came and dismantled the bridge warning me to steer clear of govt decisions

But its unfair for such in Nigeria

I just wanted to be sure it wasn't Nigeria


It would have been cool though and some bastards can actually fund it, but no they prefer owning refineries in UK, posh houses in Dubai

Carry thr most expensive olosho and throw the most expensive parties where they share cars and millions

If you had any sense you would have carried your community along and made sure you visited the relevant authorities for advise or approval


Your probably a yahoo boy and your community didn't want to benefit from your scam money


But then I may be wrong

yes you have to seek approval from the Local Govt before you can embark on any of such but then I just thought i was helping..I was lucky not to even be fined because a man at Agbara was fined 3 million naira fro tarring the road to his factory under similar circumstance

The person I argued with actually agreed I am right you need to seek approval, you can see his comment below, you people should stop commenting with sentiment
