26-year-old Nigerian, Silas Adekunle is now the highest paid in the field of Robotic Engineering. Adekunle, credited for building the world’s first gaming robot, achieved this feat after signing a new deal with the world’s reputable software manufacturers, Apple Inc.

The mouthwatering deal is worth Millions of Dollars.

Leadership reports that the robotics engineer was also named as “Someone to Watch in 2018” by the Black Hedge Fund Group. Adekunle is currently the founder and CEO of Reach Robotics, a company developing the world’s first gaming robots.

He also recently graduated with a 1st class degree and has four years’ background in robotics. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Adekunle studied in Nigeria before relocating to the UK as a teenager.

After completing his secondary school education, he proceeded to the University of the West of England where he graduated with a first class in Robotics. In 2013, he founded Reach Robotics and developed a lot of experience on robotics within a space of four years.

Adekunle was also a team leader of Robotics In Schools programme, a programme which encourages and pays attention to students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The programme encouraged him to develop robotics to make education more entertaining for STEM students.

In 2017, MekaMon, he released the world’s first gaming robot, with the special ability to customise the gaming bot to perform personalised functions.

The initial launch of Mekamon sold 500 bots, generating $7.5 million, according to The Guardian. Following this feat, Adekunle received support from various organisations including London Venture Partners ($10 million) and in the same year, his company, Reach Robotics signed a deal with Apple securing exclusive sales in Apple stores.

Sadly, Adekunle can't help Nigeria as he won't have time for NYSC drama.

This is the kind of news we want to hear about the most populous country in Africa.

God bless all Nigerians with legitimate and transparent hustle who are all out there trying to create more value!

Claimers!

What makes him a Nigerian?
Did Nigeria train him in Robotics?
Which Nigerian institute could have brought out the star in him? UNILAG? UNN? OAU? Which?

Can Nigeria employ him? Can Nigeria give him what UK is giving him? The money, the environment, the peace of mind, the inspiration, the electricity, access to the internet, the unlimited data to research his work?

He left the shi-t-hole country as a teenager and that's the reason he had a platform to showcase his excellence. I doff my heart for him and his visionary parents!

Congratulations young man!

Appendage: Someone quoted me now and said, “SARS would have beaten the daylight out of him with that hairstyle”

This same news made front page the other day. Why recycle it?

Wow

Ok

I no get anything to talk.. But if na Nigeria e du dis kind of hair Dem go Label am Yahoo Boy na person dey represent so without suit to just snap a photo. I don't understand with Suit they think you have made it in Nigeria. But with a casual you are a Yahoo Boy or a fraudster

Nice one

Very interesting guy with exciting innovations. He presented his robot at TechPlus last year

But... is he really the highest paid robotics engineer as Nigerian media has been presenting him? And they do not give figures to how much he earns. I think robotics engineers at General Motors earn more as the highest paid engineers in that field.

Legit. Ma queue

Hh

Good for him

This should be enough reason (to drive a demand for a review of the nysc act.)
For Nigeria every thing is about politics. All wailers were excitedly celebrating Adeosun's exit forgetting the wider implication for Nigeria, that we're set to lose skilled hands based overseas to an unnecessary one year sex scheme called NYSC.

Imagine Elon Musk was Nigerian but can't be appointed into our Space Development Agency because of NYSC, whereas a governor needs not pass Waec

Hmm........ Legend!

ok, good job

Some people from the east won't like this cos the guy is Afonja...

Nigerians are moving waves outside the country while the ones in the country are planning on how to leave the country. All because of a certificateless and senseless president. Let us all join hands and vote out Buhari in 2019.

Just like we send our crude oil outside the shore to be refined into other products (petrol, diesel, kerosen, bitumen)... That's how how nigerian hustling outside the shores trend... We have the intellectual capacity and tend to excel in a sane environment.

If this guy were to be in nigeria or comes back any time soon, he will be trapped in sai baba zombies or atiku* saraki ipobic fools

Congrats. He would have been making toy cars due to limited support and resources if he did not leave Nigeria.

He would be wasting his life away in one useless bank or firm


Earning peanuts
