Hope Emmanuel Frank Used Wood And Laptop Batteries To Construct Excavator



Meet fifteen-year-old Hope Emmanuel Frank from Akwa Ibom who has been wowing people with his rare engineering talents.

Hope uses woods , condemned laptop batteries and syringe to make an excavator and a dump truck , and a change over switch to control them.


In this BBC Pidgin One Minute Story, Hope said he dreams of becoming one of world's great inventors like Nicholas Tesla and Michael Faraday .



He also said :

“When people see me on the street operating my excavator and tipper, they are usually surprised. Some of them dash me money"

“The first time I saw an excavator, I thought, oh, let me just try this. I did the skeleton part and the flex, but it was not all that enough, like how to get them to move was my problem. I then thought of the idea of using a drip-set replacing the hose in the real excavator and the syringe works as the boom. 

“For the tipper remote, I used a change over-switch for the forward and backward drive. I used condemned laptop batteries as my source of power in the tipper.” 



The teenager also added that he plans on working on a helicopter flown with a wireless remote. 

“My next project will be a payloader that can work and a helicopter that will fly with wireless remote. In the future, I want to be one of the world’s greatest inventors"

Osinachi Nwachukwu's Husband Hid Money Paid To Her  Nigerian clergyman, Victor Ativie, has recounted how late gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu's husband, Peter Nwachukwu, allegedly hid the money paid to her after she came to minister in his church, Newspremises reports. Speaking in his church over the weekend, Pastor Ativie said ''The man has killed her. Man without vision. Man that is jobless. Man that is lazy. She came to Benin to minister to us. As she came, she wanted to even stay till the next day but the pressure was too much. The man, the way he discusses money with you..He is too carnal. I know that if a preacher comes, you should bless the person but you see, I don't like when a thing is too physical. The way the man was discussing money will even make you hate the woman's gift but the woman carries something that is too deep that you cannot ignore. After they had negotiated and we have paid fully, the woman came, ministered and left. The evening after...

Some Grammatical Blunders To Avoid

Image
Some Grammatical Blunders You Should Avoid We make some grammatical blunders everyday in our interactions with others. I once visited a private school and was disappointed that the instructors in the school were not laying a good foundation for sound grammar for the kids. Children are very sensitive to copying what they see or hear. Teachers in schools and parents at home should be mindful of this because kids copy a lot and are greatly prone to accept what they hear as correct.
