Some real innovation
This should be termed fascination but definitely not innovation!

Wikipedia defines innovation as ' a new idea, more effective device or process. It can be viewed as the application of better solutions that meet requirements, unarticulated needs or existing market needs'.

This bicycle will be useless to majority of us in the world of today where a car is the most popular mode of transportation. This will only be applauded in an era of no cars or where metal bicycles are expensive. So as it is, it can't be termed innovative because it solves no existing general problem except his own transportation challenges.

Note: Pardon me. Just wanted to point something and note prove I too know nor pull the guy's efforts down. Thanks.

Half of Nigeria's population think like this and we won't need to depend on the government anymore neither will we need to import everything from China and keep being the mockery of Donald Trump

That's the beginning of greatness!

Only that his skill may be wasted here.

It cannot be wasted. Let us stop thinking skills will be wasted in Nigeria. Keep doing what you can do until the face of Nigeria changes. Is it bad if we have a made inNigeria bicycle as long as he is not expecting to become a billionaire over night.

That's true but now that Rome has been built,why bother going back to the stone age.

Frankly speaking I'm trying to understand where this conversation is going.

I'm certainly not hating but this invention belongs in the museum. How many of us would sincerely ride this bicycle on the streets of Lagos, Abuja or any other city in Nigeria.

I think it's time we began to celebrate inventions which would positively affect our everyday lives rather than profiling "inventions" which can at best be described as junior secondary school experiments.

A lot of us are beneficiaries of the guys/ladies who developed Interswitch, Jobberman, Zinox Computers Innoson Vehicles, e.t.c. but how often do we celebrate these geniuses.

In several cities in Europe people build cars, bicycles, motor-bikes, e.t.c. from paper, wood, zinc and other exotic materials but they are usually placed precisely where they belong, IN THE MUSEUM!

For a country that imports toothpicks, making a wooden bike is a big improvement, we have to crawl before we run and we will get there in the end.

cool OP correction - he is JUST using the wood as a frame. Clever/Industrious but definitely not genius.

If it passed an integrity test....however it was done, then I will give him my nod. If not... I shake my head, knowing that he is peddling his way to disaster.
Fit for a museum display....100% for ingenuity though.
