Prof. Autonov: hey guys, i invented Autonov
Patent Office: but we already have trucks
Prof Autonov: yes i know but this one is more flexible and highly maneuverable
Patent Office: ok, whatever.  

Biafrans: hey look, we're geniuses, we invented ogbunigwe
Patent Office: but we already have bombs
Biafrans: oh no, you don't get it, this one blows ppl up for real, including the unlucky Soldier who detonates it
Patent office: sorry, we already have a bomb, and it's safer.
Biafrans: oh boolshhitt! Is the Yoruba's fault! It is igbophobia! this patent office is a Yoruba office. we're gonna tell ojukwu. i'm gonna blow it up.
Patent Office: SECURITY!!

Wexelion:

Are you sure Aigbofa knows what a patent is?

ak47mann:

so calling it imitation of land mine or what ever but biafran scientist invented it so what have Nigeria with 100million people  have they invented any thing in their life? even ogbunigbe is way too advanced for nigeria,and don't talk about boko haram bomb-makers cos now with internet u can search on how to make bomb.Compare that to them days in 60s our scientist was on ground in their lab in enugu manufacturing bombs and tanks

manny4life:

Unfortunately, the mockery you pull over here is what, perhaps, the innovator went through at the Patent Office (obviously not the genuine office), because the genuine office of Patents and Copyrights will grant him an interview (obviously after submitting tons of different applications). Inventors in the past went through the same process, unfortunate he couldn't, besides, Biafrans are NOT asking for Patents, so why calling them?

manny4life:

LOL, Y'all are laughing, this is serious business for OP

I can't help but chuckle at ignorant posts on here; anyway, people are what they are.

Aigbofa:


I have no idea.

Aigbofa:

Have you seen the prototype of the first apple computer? Certainly not.

sheyguy:


U don't invent something by mistake, Nigeria has not undertaken such a task or set such targets for herself.I don't think it is normal to claim a victory or upper hand when your so called opponents are not even aware u are trying to outperform them. Comparing biafran innovation (a feat well below average) to one Nigeria never really attempted is mean.


It is funny how NLders have misinterpreted the topic, the work of this prof in question is not meant to look standard it is suppose to demonstrate something quite simple to understand, that he can apply his knowledge to design a basic four-wheel vehicle that can reverse like normal cars, he has simply demonstrated that by building it not minding how ugly it looks. looking closely at his work there is something like a tank inside the strucure/main body NLders have misinterpreted that too. it is not suppose to be or armoured vehicle.

manny4life:

Good, that's a good start,

As a matter of fact, since I have a WIKI account, though I'm a strong critic of that site, when I have the time, I will see if I can make certain comment or even edit some portion of that page. I know WIKI allows you to do some edition to some extent particularly for unverified, and unvalidated data and their sources.

Aigbofa:

You are one of the clueless ones here. You can edit wiki all you want. This invention is not new to enlightened Nigerians and probably interested budding engineers around the world.

Dede1:

Of course, I have seen the prototype of apple computer which was an assembled circuit board. Unlike the joke you posted on behalf of Awojobi which was a finished Styr utility military vehicle imported by Nigerian army. This will not be the first or last time you and your peeps would publicly make ridiculous claim.

manny4life:

Clueless? As much as I hate to hurt your feelings, look, I have not insulted you, and I respectfully ask that you withdraw your words immediately. I will not take to kindly you insults any further.

You keep talking about invention, what part or piece of the Autonov was invented or innovated? I have asked this question almost 7x already, but unfortunately, you seen to shy away from the question?

I have truly LAUGHED my A$$ out today,Autonov ko',Otondo ni'

Aigbofa:


You cannot hurt my feelings bro. My skin is thick. So, keep it coming.

ak47mann:

aigbofa and becomrich are they the same monika

manny4life:

Then good, challenge your opponents without trying to stir anger through insults. I will not stoop so low to start exchanging words with you; I believe, we are more educated and civilized than this. You can make your points KNOWN without losing your cool, so if you have a thick skin, I recommend that you convert that thick skin to make a better opinion.

If I was the president, I would have ordered the the IG to deploy "Otumokpor", sorry! "Otonov" to all Nigerian police formation in the North to aid their escape from all directions when Boko Haram strikes. Before that, adequate training will be given to the police drivers so that they will not drive from all angles at the same time lest they disintegrate the "Otumokpor", sorry! "Otonov" in panic.

ak47mann:

are you a lawyer? o boyy if micheal jackson family employ you Dr Murray will get longer sentence

Aigbofa:

Good. Can we get back to the topic?

Again, what part of this AUTONOV is an innovation (NOT INVENTION)?

The truck obviously ain't innovation let alone invention, so we are left with the mechanical concept of reverse movement that's the innovation? I mean is that the basis of this argument? Like seriously, let's break this concept down piece-by-piece so we can better understand what is it exactly that involves the innovation. The reverse movement has been a locomotive technology dated back in the 19th and 20th century, so transferring it to a car or truck is where the innovation is? Please, break it down for us.

Where did i call it an innovation like u claimed?

I said a demonstration of principle(s) (of engineering), we all know the attitude of Nigerians they hardly believe until they see. i think this man has done a perfect job. most of the pple bragging here on Nairaland ask if they have ever fabricated the simplest of mechanical components like Bolt, Nut, or spanner. if yes let them tell us how easy it was cost-wise and effort-wise, maybe u will then appreciate the job of the prof. arggghhh!!!!! . . . . . .  .Nairalander i fear una oh!!!!!!

manny4life:

Lawyer? Why do u say so? LOL, I wish although I want to study law (i.e. after I've made it ), Harvard OR Colombia being my only two options . As for Dr. Murray, I would have argued for his defense rather than Michael Jackson Family. Then again, they are just all aspirations, hehe

manny4life:

Yeah to the topic, only if my questions could get answered
