More grease to ur elbow,bro.Keep the Nigerian flag flying.

You're wrong, it's not grease, it's power...

It's more power to your elbow...

We're cool right?

Are you trying to buy him with this invention?

Even a pro-afonja news still de give you heart attack? What will be your fate when you hear pro-Biafran news?

Nigeria. Great People , Great Nation, but leadership problem.

great

Whenever I hear the word cancer, I remember what a nutritionist told me. He said that cancer is not a disease, but a business. Amedical business doctors use to make money.
He said that cancer is just the absence of Vitamin B17, that's why it has no specific region of occurrence. It can occure in the eye, mouth, ear, throat, head, breast and so many other regions.
He said that the best way to cure cancer is to eat stone fruits that have Vitamine B17 like Apple, Cherry and a so on.

You are right. Absolutely!

Congratulations Boss! fellow scientist
He had to go to Sweden and Switzerland before His dream was achieved!

If you tell Naija henchmen i want to create an uncrashable aircraft, they will never

bring out a little from the humongous resource under their control to support,

if is to patronize call-girls, runs gals, slay queens and what have you,
you will find them pulling their muscles, in adrenaline rush with swag!

there are a plethora of problems in naija that are waiting for cutting-edge, innovative technology (artificial intelligent apps) to be developed to solve them. These technologies can
be developed and deplored locally by youths if they can be supported by those controlling the resources.

moral lesson=Never give up on your Dreams (legitimate).

Can Mr Agabi help me manufacture my Hearing Deviced paper work Invention-Modular?
This thing when invented will give the deaf a temporal ability to hear. (Temporal, because we won't live here on Earth permanently. Temporally, because as soon as the device is removed from vision, eyes, then alert failed) an ability to hear.
Not like an hearing aid, which does not work with many people.

Nice invention...but then ..people are going to lose their jobs to machines....this is a 2-edge sword

Even machines require human control, monitoring and assessment

Your "nutritionist" is the worst quack to ever live
if he said that.
I hope he doesn't give you a life-sabotaging advise in the future.

NCAN in disarray! Is it afonja or ipods

NIGERIAN SCIENTIST CREATES A COMPUTER THAT CAN SMELL EXPLOSIVES AND CANCER CELLS
source : http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/08/nigerian-scientist-creates-computer.html

Silicon Valley-based Oshi Agabi has unveiled a computer based not on silicon but on mice neurons at the TEDGlobal conference in Tanzania. The system has been trained to recognise the smell of explosives and could be used to replace traditional airport security, he said. .



Eventually the modem-sized device - dubbed Koniku Kore - could provide the brain for future robots. Agabi is attempting to reverse-engineer biology, which already accomplishes this function with a fraction of the power it would take a silicon-based processor.

EYES OF LAGOS learnt that, He launched his start-up Koniku over a year ago, has raised $1m (£800,000) in funding and claims it is already making profits of $10m in deals with the security industry. Koniku Kore is an amalgam of living neurons and silicon, with olfactory capabilities — basically sensors that can detect and recognise smells. .

"You can give the neurons instructions about what to do - in our case we tell it to provide a receptor that can detect explosives." He envisages a future where such devices can be discreetly used at various points in airports, eliminating the need for queues to get through airport security. .

As well as being used for bomb detection, the device could be used to detect illness by sensing markers of a disease in the air molecules that a patient gives off. .

A self-described "scrawny, nerdy kid," Agabi grew up in the suburb of Surulere in Lagos, Nigeria and obtained a Bachelors degree in Physics from University of Lagos. .

He went on to do further studies in physics and neuroscience in Sweden and Switzerland. "One of the things growing up in Lagos imparts in you is grit," he says. "Lagos is a place that demands grit. Growing up there gave me an unconventional way of always looking at problems."

‘A world first’

Agabi said the Koniku Kore device is “a world first” and able to do just that, essentially through breathing in and smelling the air.

He said “major brands”, including those in the travel industry, had signed up and the start-up’s current revenues of $8 million (7 million euros) were expected to leap to $30 million by 2018.

One of the main challenges was finding a way to keep the neurons alive, a secret Agabi did not wish to expand on, saying only they could be kept alive for two years in a lab environment and two months in the device.

As AI improves in leaps and bounds, scientists are trying to make and succeeding in making machines more like our brains, able to learn and understand their surroundings: a prospect that is terrifying for many.

Musk, who has repeatedly warned about the perils of AI making humans obsolete, is working on a new project to implant “neural lace” brain-interface technology to prevent humans becoming like a “house cat” to potential machine masters.

However, Agabi, who grew up in Lagos where he helped his mother sell food on the streets, believes the future of AI lies in making machines more alive.

He believes his company could build a cognitive humanoid system based on synthetic living neurons in the next five to seven years. “It’s not science fiction,” he told AFP.

“We want to build a brain of biological neurons - an autonomous system that has intelligence. We do not want to build a human brain.”

Agabi did a bachelors degree in theoretical physics in Lagos before taking an interest in neuroscience and bio-engineering for his PhD in London.

African innovation at TED

He spoke at the opening session of the four-day TEDGlobal conference, putting African ideas, innovation and creativity in the spotlight with a variety of speakers who each get an 18-minute window to get across their message of choice.

TED - originally known as Technology, Entertainment and Design - has built a global following for its online videos of inspiring talks devoted to “ideas worth spreading”.

The annual international version is taking place in Africa for the first time in a decade with a new crop of “TED Fellows” from the continent to take to the stage.

“This gathering couldn’t come a moment too soon,” said TEDGlobal co-curator Emeka Okafor. “Africa has experienced spectacular economic, demographic and creative growth, but both opportunity and danger are rising at an exponential rate. Our conference will gather the idea catalysts, problem-solvers and change-makers already hard at work here charting Africa’s own path to modernity.”

This won't be a bad take off point for Nigeria to make a contribution to the consistently advancing technology in the world, rather than been known for a perpetual lack of interest in technology where other nations are spending their resources. The Question I wish to ask is "who know this boy for abuja?" Do scientific discoveries of this sort excite our senate or make other arm of government to feel like making this discovery a global phenomenon without first asking what gain they make individually?

The more reason this country should splinter because any tribe would want to advance this kind of discovery if they were a nation and boost their economy with its associated tax.

Thank God the young man didn't say he is looking for people to sponsor him.

Thumbs up to the guy, he has even got funding already and is making profits!!! That said, i also have an idea for a mind amplifier, it amplifies the thought waves of a person and can physically manifest whatever the person thinks of; can be used to create anything from the thoughts of a person!!!

I really respect this guy.

Thanks NL, one of those threads i wish i could stay pinned to the FP

Is he related to Mazi Kanu Agabi, a former minister in Obasanjo's government?

Koniku Konire o. God will continue to grant you more intellectual knowledge to transform Africa. Pride of Africa you are.

government will not like to hear this

Are you telling me that all those that died cos of cancer don't have access to apple or cherry. Beside is there no vit B17 inject or tablet to be giving to cancer patients.[img][/img]
Its much more that vit B17 bruuh
Beside how many cancer patient has he cure using apple

Don't be a doubting Thomas. Those patients might lack the information. Know it today, drugs is not the ultimate healer to sickness. Once you're used to drugs, sicknesses becomes your friend. I can't remember that last time I took medicine.

We're sick today because of what we eat and what we don't eat.
Never underestimate the power of fruits, vegetables and clean water.

Bruuh the guy for don be billionaire by now if what he is saying is true.
Guy go rest and leave cancer matter
