Meets the Teens who made Nigerians proud at the First Global Challenge 2017Seun Omotayo, Tawa Giwa, Fetisimi Adegbamigbe, Ayodeji Umar, Toluwalase Agoro, Ayomide Adetunji, and Niyi Talabi represented Nigeria at the First Global Robotics Challenge 2017, the first robotics olympics in the world, which held in Washington DC, U.S.


With the provision of access to clean water as the overall theme, 163 teams from the world over, including continental teams, all made up of students ranging from 15 to 18, fought to win the First Global Challenge 2017.

“We are Robo Teens from Nigeria!” Team Nigeria’s bio says. “We are a team of robot enthusiasts, consisting of four boys, three girls ages 15-18, and three coaches. Our team inspiration is based on our goal to make our country great and to better understand the advantages of collaboration both within and outside of our country.”

Meet the Tryctor: A motorbike-turned-tractor targeting small farmers in Nigeria

It was knowledge of this that prompted Nigerian automobile designer Olufemi Odeleye to spend nearly 10 years developing the prototype for a low-cost, multipurpose, mini tractor – created with the Nigerian, and African, small-scale farmer in mind. His invention, dubbed the Tryctor, has been adapted from the traditional motorcycle and caught the attention of the Nigerian government which is currently piloting the solution among farmers. And this year Odeleye and his Tryctor won the Innovation Prize for Africa.

Lord Jesus, my heavenly father.

Eledumre, a dupe.

If I die and you ask me which developing nation I want to be sent to, I want you to create a Yoruba nation and send me there.

I'm not asking for millions of dollars, or large estates, I just want to come back as a Yoruba man.

Yoruba first, others follow.

I greet all my Yoruba people scattered across the globe.

Yorubas aren't noisemakers. We own large companies, not 2x2 corner shops. We're creative, we don't make fake copies. Yoruba products are reliable. We focus on quality, not on quantity.

A Yoruba nation with natural resources, a mega city, multi-rich companies, industrial and commercial hubs, high literacy rate, investor-friendly environment, etc is more likely to survive a breakup than other regions. We have everything!!

We produce technological intelligence

Olaosebikan, 31, is the cofounder and chief technology officer of two-year-old Gigster, an on-demand service for software development and design connecting a network of vetted freelancers with companies that need their talent. He is, in other words, incarnating the programming-gig economy and already boasts a client roster including companies like Square, MasterCard and Airbus. With revenue climbing from $1 million to $30 million in the last two years, the founders are optimistic.

The company, which describes its obligation as bridging the gap in the provision of quality, affordable, and luxury buildings, that are analogous to modern cities and towns like Cape town, Monte Carlo, and Miami, has over the years proven its mantle in this highly competitive field.

attackgat:
How do you know they are Igbos?

Even if they are nko?

As if we don't know that most of Badoo criminals are Ibos who are preparing for Christmas.

Desyner:
Grow up. This isn't about IPOD. Look at Osun state now. The governor borrowed based on oil earning projection because it was free money and mismanaged it all.

This isn't about Osun state. Look at other SE states. Don't they state oil allocation money?

Ereolamide:
That should be in ugbo kingdom(ilaje), what has Oyo Yoruba done to hurt you? Sede di ma fi oma ulaje we ha.

Don't mind him. And he calls himself Omoluabi.

Iphone7SPlus:
Please yourself. I have said my own.
I take it you haven't even been to those parts before, you are just generalizing.
Yes we are bonafide Yoruba but no group should have the right to decide who is Yoruba and who isn't.

We are the same as Itsekiri.
To show you how close we are to those parts, dead people who aren't to be buried soon, are taken on speedboats to the Sapele mortuary morgue which is actually the closest modern facility to our general area, and brought back when their family is ready.

Ki leleyi n so?

tomakint:
See who is advising Nigerians indeed this Country can be likened to a zoo in the true sense of it. It is a big fact that 75% of Nigeria's problems are traceable to Obasanjo and the major one that had rendered this great Country powerless and unproductive for years was the manipulations his demonic cabal tainted military government of 1979 that rigged the Presidential Elections to favour a dullard, Shagari, to emerge as President by all means then drafting a Presidential System Of Government 1979 Constitution forcefully for this same Shagari which eventually gave birth to the warped and vision less 1999 Constitution that eventually birthed Sharia. Indeed Obasanjo has no shame and its because 80% of Nigerian youths don't read and think deep.

As a Yoruba person, I agree that OBJ is a problem like other politicians. But when did he stop presiding over Nigeria? When will each region's present/previous leaders take accountability for their retrogression?

Iphone7SPlus:
I am serious.


The itsekiris are culturally the closest people to We Ilajes and Apois.
If you doubt be, go to Inikorogha, Ubakorigho, Womitenren, Aja titun, Asumaga, Legho, or Igbokoda and see for yourself.

What exactly makes that Deede whatever thinks Itsekiri fits in Niger delta republic while we do not?
We share similar environment, face similar challenges, have similar lifestyle, and YES we both have Benin influence. The only difference been that majority of us, unlike them trace our ultimate origin to Ife, while they do not (at least not yet)
Itsekiri is Oduduwa republic.

I don't care if you're serious or joking. Now you're just trying too hard to fit in.
We Yoruba recognize ourselves..... your skull shape is a trademark.
No Yoruba says "You Oyo people" or "We Ondo...". Your childisness ended in 2016. Grow up, flat head.

Desyner:
Devilish talk. How will change of mindset stop radicalized islamist accessing free oil money from building mosques or looting it. What we av in Nigeria is a breakdown of leadership and not from the followers.

Ipob jews too dey romance SS oil
They will soon come with their stale anamabran and imo coconut oil comments.

Politicians vs politicians for politicians.

More importantly, who are the confused ipod jews going to support?

AworiLagosian:
lol.
He also sounds so insultive,even when he is trying to sound like he is not.
Somebody mentioned that there are some Yoruba villages in Edo, and his next response was "Just don't bring prostitution to Oduduwa".

Na wa.

Iphone7SPlus:
Kini wahala e?
For your info, if Itsekiri won't join Oduduwa republic, consider us in Ondo South senatorial district out.
We are joining Niger Delta republic too.

It is like you Oyo people think being Yoruba is all about you.

Nice try at the divisional tactic, Ipod jews. Yorubas are beyond that childishness.
I seriously pity you guys. Honestly. You must think your Biafra depends on a Yoruba ally.
