I get life-threatening calls, messages over my generators that don't use fuel - Oyekunle Ayansola...

In an exclusive interview with Vanguard, Oyekunle Michael Ayansola, CEO of Mailko Technology Limited, shared the inspiring story behind his groundbreaking innovation — fuel-less generators. He spoke on the challenges he’s faced along the way, including receiving life-threatening calls and messages.

Ayansola’s journey began 13 years ago when he went to live with his uncle in Ibadan, where frequent power outages made life difficult. “Do you know the pain of trying to read at night without electricity? We relied on lanterns, and it was a huge challenge. You couldn’t even watch TV because there was no power,” Ayansola recalls.

It was during this time that the idea for a generator that didn’t require fuel took root in his mind. Determined to make his vision a reality, Ayansola shared his idea with his physics teacher.

“I told my teacher about it, and he said it was possible,” he adds, reflecting on the moment that set him on the path toward innovation.

Since then, Mailko Technology Limited has grown into a pioneering company, but not without challenges. Ayansola revealed that his invention has made him the target of hostile reactions, including threatening phone calls and messages.

Despite this, he remains focused on his mission to transform the energy sector and provide sustainable, fuel-free solutions.

They know he's about to stop their business from booming, they want to try everything to stop him .

And very very soon , we'll embrace him and I pray God's protections on him because those people will stop at nothing to bring him down ..

They won't want his innovation to see the light of day ..

It doesn't work
If it worked he would have been dead

The people calling and threatening him are sokoloan agents that he's owing.

Is this a marketing strategy

This type of headline has been causing problems since the beginning of Nairaland.

In most cases, the problem is caused by the journalist, not the person that made the device.

What is the source of the power, is it electrical, chemical or motion?

The first time I came across this very confusing definition was during the fuel crisis of the 1990s.

To some Nigerians fuel (which they pronounce as fooel) = petrol (and only petrol).


So when I tell someone that a fuel tanker crashed on Admiralty Way, the person would reply that it was a diesel tanker, not a fuel tanker.


I learnt in primary school that a fuel is anything that can be burnt to produce heat, energy and illumination. Therefore firewood is a type of fuel, coal is a type of fuel, kerosene is a type of fuel, diesel is a type of fuel and petrol is a type of fuel.

I learnt about high octane and low octane fuels from following the exploits of Mario Andretti and Nigel Mansel.

As I grew older I learnt that a fuel is a substance that produces energy, power or heat when it undergoes a chemical or nuclear reaction. Therefore we have nuclear fuels, hydrogen fuel cells and carbohydrate is also a type fuel that is used by the body.

So it is very strange when I hear people ask, "Does it use fuel or diesel?"

Modified.

Now I have the time to include the missing post.

The most heartbreaking example for me occurred in 2010. Some secondary school students, little girls, made a machine as part of their JETS project, but instead of being appreciated, they were getting attacked all over the internet. Why? Because the journalist used certain terms in his report.

The journalist wrote that the girls had "invented a fuelless generator". People accused the girls of fraud and insulted them, but the girls never claimed that they invented a fuelless generator, those were the words of the journalist.

What a clown trying to scam people.

Clown 'inventor' and clown reporter.

It doesnt run on fuel, and no mention of what it actually runs on. No mention of the technology behind the "invention". Even we all know what Elon Musk's "fuelless' Tesla cars run on.

Your invention doesnt run on fuel and in these days of T-Pain no one still knows about it?

Dude is probably setting the ground for a grand scam.

If his "fuel-less"gen works alot of people with more money would have taken over the business.

Just like evs today, people will rush to buy it once you prove it works.

Damnnn niggar

O boy see the comments way dey nairaland

Nigerians ehnnn

Nobody even get the boy joy as if them get personal beef with am

The devil really living here. They don't want growth from Nigeria.

The powers that be

life threatening calls

thats how they kee gazzuzz. you need spiritual protection

Okay

An almost ten minute video with zero mention of the physics involved. The guy doesn’t sound an IQ point average intelligence. This video is either a scam or an exaggeration of the generator’s power.

Lol... Generator that doesnt use fuel... and the age long delusion continues!

Can already see people on this thread excited over the nothing and even calling others names.

I no even get the message self

Fuelless generator that cannot be explain

Then what does it run on? There are no "fuelless" anything. For work to happen, there must be a source of energy. Laws of thermodynamics

Noted.

U are doing well.

Like Reily of Boondocks' Ideology, measure ur success by the number of hate it generates.

Hmmm

Well done, that is a great fit there, even if it doesn't meet up to expectations, you have done great by identifying a challenge and confronting it with a solution.

Some people in this country always derive pleasure exploiting their fellow men. When it works and benefits them they call it favour

From the comments above it's safe to say Nigeria is still in stone age. They've left us behind in the grand scheme of things. Just last week i bought a bike that doesn't use fuel for 1.8 million I only get to charge it with light. And someone is baffled on how a generator can operate without fuel.

SMH in disgust

That's why I know it would take decades before this world moves away from fossil fuels because the big men and oil exporting countries would do everything in their power to kill any invention that would lead to the end of fuel consumption, imagine creating a car that runs completely without fuel and it is cheap and trying to present it to the nigerian government whose major source of revenue is from petrol, they would rather silence the person and kill the invention than make it see the light of day

Looking around and beyond what is happening to us in this country, Naija is loaded with potential and greatness

That's a load of twaddle. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be converted from one form to another.
A power generator is a machine that converts other forms of energy to electrical energy.
The guyman hasn't told us the form of energy he's generating electricity from.
