Outstanding Achievement. Lagos Pupil Powers Generator With Urine

On a more positive note. The youth are paving a great path for the next generation of nigerians. A couple of months ago I read about a urine-powered generator invented by four girls of Doregos Private Academy also in Lagos, and showcased at the Maker Faire Africa, a pan-African conference of handcrafters in November 2012.

Recently a student of Avi Cenna International School, Gbenga Bamidele Joseph, Year 10, has invented the second urine-powered generator, capable of generating six hours of 300 voltage electricity.

Joseph was one of about 150 young scientists who showcased different projects at the science fair. Other outstanding projects included  Jefferson Agbebaku made a mini-turbine or hydroelectric generator capable of 2.16 voltage, Precious Ufomadu of Year 10B, discovered a valuable alternative energy source from trash (manure) to methane gas (fuel).

Shobande Tirenioluwa from Year 7A made a Remote Controlled (RC) helicopter, remote sensors and a wireless directional remote control.
Mr Olaopa, the chairman of Evans Medical group had this to say;

"I wish some of the people in the Ministry of Education would come here and see. Though, this is private institution and they pay a lot of money, but I'm sure that if government also invests in our public schools, then they will do the same. After all, it is the same brain that these ones have that those in the public schools also possess. It is just a matter of opportunity. If we take it as our priority, then that will be our future," Olaopa said.

My sentiments exactly. What do you think?
