Ancient Nigerian Inventors by tpiah01: 7:58am On Feb 18, 2015 |
in view of today's google doodle, which was interesting, I wondered if Nigeria has any known inventors of anything in ancient times. In case you didnt notice, here is the doodle: commemorating Alessandro Volta's 270th birthday. He was a physicist and inventor. So, who are the nigerian names of note when it comes to inventing stuff? |

I've read of an Ife Queen who introduced paved walks to the city sometime around the eleventh or sixteenth century or so. 1 Like |

tpiah01: Queen Luwo? Did she invent it or simply introduced it to Ife? That sort of pavements were already in use in the Mediterranean before Luwo's time.... 1 Like |

Not sure. However, it was an innovation. |
