now this is something to be proud of..

kudos to him.

but are you kidding me ..how can the authorities think of deploying a drone like this..common..they should opt for something more durable and reliable

THE DJI PHANTOM is there for them to purchase.

it take alot more than just adding rotating blades to get an actual working drone..what about the app..for control..micro processor and stuff..mapping..the list goes on and on.

am not trying to undermine his effort here..he really did well and am proud of him..am just stating the obvious

someone like him need to be sent to MIT in the USA for further studies..the Nigerian government are suppose to invest in brilliant mind such as these.

gud u pointed out D required additions....we wuld appreciate if u complete it....otherwise celebrate Dis.....remember he is just 17...n I assume u r older....I studied physics/elect....n I kno its a huge feat for a young boy to go Dis far...I'll be in awe if he embeds all to make it a perfect drone....so my brother. hw can u help Dis course


he has

Polytechnic or university education no knowledge has a wide scope like self-development, you may have just an HND or Bsc or even ND and be able to deliver what a professor can't deliver in practice.Theoretical education is not enough to deliver Nigeria from technological deficiency but practical education.Ride on boy!

you and i both know that boy drone is still at a developing stage..am just saying the government need something more reliable to do urgent serious work..do you know what it mean for a drone to be deployed for police work..?i want you to have a logical sense of reasoning here.

that boy can be mentored and given the best support that there is to unlock his full potential.

by the time he is done..he will be produce things for NASA
Sorry i can't buy your logic because even the latest drone still have room for improvement and by the way what wrong if the government pick this boy's drone and use it for whatever the problem is not whether the drone can do surveillance or photography or videography the problem is the inferiority complex attitude you put out first. the west did not developed their drone in day to say the least Nigerians still build drones even for America

That's great. We need more like this young talent in the country. I hope the government would do the needful.

Point of correction though. It is not the first in Nigeria. I saw a UAV built by 3 mechanical engineering students in UNN, Nsukka. The UAV has a large span of wings to accommodate enough solar panels.... And it is quite bigger than this one I am seeing here.

We are progressing in this country.... Gradually.

This isn't the first I think the Military has already developed fully functional locally made drone. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Its true...that's not really a drone. Its a quadrocopter. An elect elect student in Uniuyo made that in 2015, was in 400 level then. It reached about 67 feet ( higher than uniuyo perm site admin building) it also had a remote controlled by radio signals. The principles are in the net. But I respect the boy and that proves that more needs to be invested in polytechnic education since the university wants to drown us with theory.

Polytechnic in Nigeria produces its first prototype of a drone

In Nigeria's commercial capital, a polytechnic has produced its first prototype of a drone. Lagos City authorities have said, if developed fully, the state could employ the drones for security surveillance.
