Chiaka:
We are very proud of you. Keep it up and fly higher with achievement. wish you well.

something tells me that this tread will be boring because the Nigerian in question is not from the two superiority complex tribe (east or west)
Lol

A twenty-four year old Nigerian, Bobai Ephraim Kato, has built a fully functional artificial intelligence robot for his final year project at the International College of Business and Technology (ICBT) in Sri Lanka. While he developed an interest in computing and technology early, initially he wanted to be a doctor.

After his secondary school education in 2009, he wrote JAMB exams twice trying to get into Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria to study medicine, but was not admitted. He couldn’t get into the remedial school at ABU, and Kaduna State University (KASU) did not accept him either. It was not until he started a program at KASU’s remedial school that opportunity presented itself through the NIIT (National Institute of Information Technology) scholarship exam. Kato’s success story took shape over the next four years as he eventually ended up in Sri Lanka and studied Software Engineering.

Kato admits that the idea of artificial intelligence was random. The knowledge he gained from previous classes on Artificial Intelligence Systems set the pace for his work with the robot. His first work with Artificial Intelligence was “Wine Quality Test”, a piece of software which uses artificial intelligence to determine the quality of wine. When the directive came to his class to create software that uses Artificial Intelligence for predictions and solutions, he couldn’t think of anything. It was not until he did some research that the idea of a robot, which could solve puzzles struck him.

A Nigerian Software Engineering student, Kato personally built and developed the algorithm that enabled the robot to solve a Rubik’s Cube in a matter of minutes – a feat he admits to have never achieved himself. Kato, who hails from the Atyap tribe in Kaduna claims that his journey to success was not smooth, as he had to deal with a lot of failures in the course of his project and an unimpressed supervisor.

“My first 5 tests were a failure. The robot always shot a scanning error, and this was a week to my final submission. All I could do was pray. I didn’t know what to do again. I was confused and restless. I kept grinding and it finally started working. At that stage, the robot wasn’t intelligent enough and I had to train it to solve many puzzles to get more skills to save in the database.”

Kato spent two nights building the robot. After construction, he installed the software which served as the brain into a memory card for testing. A week to Kato’s final submission, the robot was still not functional. It took six tries to get the robot to work, and then a few days to increase its intelligence quotient. It was hard work for Kato, as he could not solve the Rubik’s Cube himself.

Kato claims that there isn’t a lot opportunity in Nigeria, but it is the responsibility of the populace to create opportunity. He also believes that the country can get rid of terrorism if they employ savvy and sincere individuals to man digital investigation, cyber security and forensic computing.

In the spirit of giving back, his new focus is on forensic computing, cyber security, and digital investigation, which he hopes to put to full use when he goes back to Nigeria.

“I’m happy to return back to Nigeria as a Cyber Security and Digital forensic Tech,” he says. “If anything, that’s what Nigeria needs more. We need people who are savvy and sincere in Digital Investigation, Cyber Security and Forensic computing.”

The deportation saga was wrong in its entirety. He apologized long ago, so let it go. as for amuwo-okota, there are many of such roads all over lagos state. why single out one area just because a particular tribe? why?

wheredemdey:
Pls am I lying

The amuwo-okota road is still a death trap

The deportation of indigent defenceless people in their own country is still fresh in our memories.....pray tell am I lying??

why the tribal tantrums...quit the hate

wheredemdey:
God forbid fashola the tribalist is made minister of works.....he will just focus on Lagos ibadan expressway and neglect the entire country.
See the way the website thieving man neglected Igbo dominated areas in Lagos all becos he is filled with tribalism and a mega bigot.

He should be minister of information or anything that wont give him any know power

He happens to be my best Nigerian Governor of all time (my opinion though).
I have a strong believe he will do well as the minister of works

what sayeth thou?

google self no get answer

myqel:
Ask google

also on the run

woky:
I dont knw

Immediately Saraki was elected the senate president, Atiku's house was his first port of call...lol
now that the table is gradually turning against his political god-son Saraki
where is Atiku Abubakar?

Please try and read the Nigerian constitution

DaBullIT:
To reduce your asset for government book now na crime ??

Tag it political witch-hunt if you like, tag it whatever you like!!! but the truth still remains that the Nigerian citizenry had suffered untold hardship in the hands of our political leaders. Lets throw our weight behind the Code of Conduct Bureau at the same time keep pushing our luck for the prosecution of other corrupt political leaders. For if one big fish goes down, chances are that other bigger fishes will surely go down too irrespective of their political affiliation or tribal background. If Tinubu of all people could be arraigned by this same CCB, I really don't see why Saraki should not be arraigned too. The CCB needs our support now...
