Hope Nigerians don't start throwing their rubbish all around the place and in the water - plastic drink bottles, food containers and what not - urinating in and around it and soiling the place. No thought for how the environment dignifies our lives, we despoil every beauty spot.
In the early 1970s, a Nigerian student, Mudashiru Ayeni, believed he had invented a battery-powered robot office assistant and asked to personally demonstrate it to the head of state, Yakubu Gowon. He was sent to a psychiatrist instead.
According to a 1971 feature story by TRUST magazine:
▶️Ayeni made eight visits to the hospital before the psychiatrist certified him to be of sound mind.
▶️The 20-year-old student then wrote to his school principal about the role young Africans were expected to play in the continent’s development.
▶️This time, he was banned from classes and forced to quit school entirely.
▶️Ayeni later reached out to Nigeria’s Federal Commissioner of Communications, Aminu Kano, who encouraged him and gave him a renewed sense of purpose.
▶️How his robot worked: at the press of a button, it told the caller whether the boss was busy, available, or away from the office.
▶️At the time the story was published, Ayeni said several businessmen had already expressed interest in his invention.
