Good.

And the person who designed this, what's going to happen to the person? Oh I know, this is Nigeria where talents ain't appreciated, he's just gonna be shoved aside as usual.

stop typing gibberish and construct ur own..instead of appreciating what u can not do, u are here making noise...na here ur power pass

johnydon22:
This is not impressive neither does it spell ingenuity... When are we going to stop celebrating these type of mediocre contractions.

Because a motorcycle fixed to a miniature plough is your idea of a tractor..

who in fuucks name gave these guys the impression that such imbecili_c contraption has the power to perform the work of a tractor.

A motorcycle lacks enough power for that and how can you say this was designed and built in Nigeria when neither the motorcycle or the plough it was hitched to was designed here.

This is embarrassing.. WTF is the meaning of having a Science and technology ministry..

The truth can never cease to hurt... There is nothing spectacular in hitching a motorcycle to a plough...

Celebrate that all you can it only shows how technologically retarded we are in Africa..

Impressive.

You nailed it!!!!!!

I dey yawn at those guys shouting its mediocrity and others lauding it. You both are right jare. Applaud the mediocre minds and put them through research training and let the government or private sector support them and you see a genius

Trike-tor Inventor Pulls N6m Investment on Dragons Den
BY HILARY OKEKE | 29 SEPTEMBER, 2008 07:38

Femi Odeleye, the last entrepreneur on episode 9 of Dragon’s Den came seeking 6 million naira to invest in the manufacture and assembly of the Trike-tor, in exchange for 20% equity.

The money was essentially intended to be used as the capital to facilitate the grant of a bank loan of 54 million naira and he assured the dragons that it would be returned intact in a situation where he is not granted the 54 million naira loan by the bank.

He was able to further convince the dragons of the viability of his business, by the fact that he had also succeeded in securing a patent for the product and the patent covers the design and concept behind taking a motorcycle and converting same into a three-wheeler tractor. The fact that he already had a patent for this design was an added incentive, which drastically reduced the risk of copycats replicating his technology once the product hit the market.

The dragons all indicated interest in the business and before long, negotiations had begun. They collectively demanded for 49% equity since Awosika had observed that it would be prudent to let the entrepreneur own the controlling equity in this business. They advised Odeleye to consult with a partner or his business advisor before making up his mind to accept or reject their offer and he did so, returning to announce his acceptance.

He was grateful for having the dragons on board his business and was even more satisfied with the deal because he had controlling equity in it.

This entrepreneur incidentally, will go down in the history of Dragons Den Nigeria as the first inventor to have slain five dragons with one idea – the Trike-tor, a three-wheeler tractor. Sure the farmers who have found it difficult to afford the conventional tractors, will definitely embrace the Trike-tor as cost-effective and easy-to-maintain machinery that will generate more profits for less running cost.

Also on this episode, we saw Timothy Adeusi, a photographer who came in search of 4 million, 270 thousand naira in exchange for 20% equity to move his digital photography business forward. But he failed to convince the dragons that he had a viable unique selling point or any particular trait that would stand him out as special in the sea of digital photographers.

Olugbenga Ogbamola, another entrepreneur came to pitch Tombstones.com – an online gallery where the bereaved could immortalize the memories of their lost loved ones in virtual reality while they could also pre-order their personal virtual tombstones which will be activated the moment they die. He asked for 2 million naira in exchange for 40% equity in this virtual cemetery. But the dragons considered his idea too morbid to inspire investment and all opted out.

Four other pitchers however, had visited the den seeking various investments without been able to convince the dragons to part with their money.

I agree there is nothing "spectacular" about it and we can and should do better. I think we need to develop a "technology culture". We need to improve and encourage ourselves to do just that. Your comments however tell us a lot about YOU in fact it tells your biography, if you died today what contribution will YOU be remembered for?
Everyone has to contribute so think about that . We are not technologically slow but we have failed to adopt the right priorities and should change our attitude to technology. That can be done with good leaders and good followers. Japan once was considered "backward". Let us build and not destroy

If the manufacturers cannot reproduce same for massive sales, then it is useless to the economy.

Impressive




But can it pull earth? Like a normal tractor I mean

Why did you skip the part where it was said that it was made in Aba?

I'm pretty sure this wasn't "made" in Nigeria.

I'll return with my research to debunk this.

Lovely

you talk big but you don't get the point.
The fact that someone had the idea to construct this no matter how ordinary it may seem,giving the right attention and specialized education (so to speak) has the potential of making something outstanding and what we can call our own make.


That the technological advancements in the west is better doesn't mean this should be underappreciated.

Which one you done make?
And you are here writing essay like you are making a point?

Ok
