It's high time Nigerians stopped blaming their government, when it comes to funding. The Nigerian government will always be the way they are, it's the way they've been for over thirty years, so what's new? If you have an invention, or other innovative idea, (an original one, not reinventing the wheel) and you're ambitious enough, you'll make it work, with or without your government's intervention. Personally, I wouldn't want any backing from the Nigerian government. In no time at all, they'll make your idea work, and sideline you. You may even quietly and conveniently "disappear", and no one would be any the wiser who's invention it was. This is why innovators from China, India, Korea etc are making it. Very few of these innovators get government funding, and are driven solely by their passion for what they do. If you have the drive, you'll find the funding somehow. If it comes to buying and driving the most recent Range Rover Sport, a Blackberry Porsche etc, you come up with the finances somehow; the Nigerian Government doesn't fund these purchases. So use that money for your idea, or sell that expensive SUV, phone, Sports Coupe etc. Even if you approached a bank, they wouldn't be interested in lending you the funds, unless you're willing to put in a lot of your own money. Why would a bank, or other investor risk their money, when you're not willing to do the same? |

davidif: wasn't this on yahoo years ago? Yes, it's pretty old news, and from what I've read, never really went any further than it is here. A better concept existed back in 1984, a Nigerian guy was constructing a helicopter. But he used a different approach, he used the bodyshell of the then common Daihatsu microbus. It was the ideal shape, to which he added a tail section, tail and main rotors. It did run, though I never saw it lift. It was at the top of Sokponba Road in Benin City, I was schooling in Immaculate Conception College at Murtala Mohammed Way, myself and friends used to stop at Sokponba to see how far this guy had gotten. It was at the back of his house. |
