aguiyi: our politicians like Tinubu will be the first to condemn this invention and that will be followed by the national assembly then the Fg in its old style will gently throw it into a shredder.


imagine the amount of money this guys are trying to stop some persons from signing out in the name of importation. jor o, them go gree ?

we have had series of inventions from our schools and youths but in the end "IT IS NOT A VIABLE PROJECT THAT DESERVE HUGE INVESTMENT ,AS A RESULT IMPORTED ONES WILL BE BETTER FOR US" .

Richfella: Invent (Noun): To create or design something that has not existed before; to be the originator of.

Trendy247: IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES IT IS PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS DAT INVENT SUCH THINGS AND THEY WON'T BOAST ABT IT, WHY CAN'T WE BOAST OF INVENTING SOMETHING BETTER. nO WONDER WE ARE CLASSIFIED AS UNDER-DEVELOPED COUNTRY.

life_style: Invent ?

naijareferee: WTF. Are they trying to re-invent the wheel. Please some schools should invent phone.

seedord247: Fvck it Fvck it Fvck it.....

This is so lame... A typical toy maker in china can produced tons of this shit... Why use the word invent when it has been in use in other other part since late 90's.

Menh backward never......

alcuin:

My thought exactly. I was hoping to see some original.

Anyway, congratulation to the engineers. We wish to see more of these, albeit original.

Thanks..

Innovate should be the right word. Ucant invent whats already in existence. We nigerian just like to overexarggerate things to boost our ego. The design is just an improvement on what is already available . I know its just programming aspect that has been upgraded which they referred to as invent

chess guru:
You should revise you understanding of the word "invent".
Pls consult a good dictionary and come let's discuss.

alcuin:

invent: to make, design, or produce something new for the first time e.g Alexander Bell invented the telephone in 1876

How about that?

Thanks....

ochallo: It's amazing to see my former lecturer's names in print,and i am glad ibiyemi has been able to come up with something after over 7 years that i left that hellhole of a department. Ibiyemi was almost going mad over all these projects, i am surprised though that no students name was mentioned, i am very sure some students would have definately worked on it. Of the 3 lecturers in electrical mentioned above, avazi is the only good lecturer with a human heart.

Hmmm what about this one
An invention is a unique or novel device,
method, composition or process. It may be an
improvement upon a machine or product, or a
new process for creating an object or a result.

He said the machine can recognize so many human-related features.

“We used machines to recognise the human face, human iris, finger prints, toe prints and sole prints. We worked on speaker and speech recognition, signature verification and hand writing verification. What we found is amazing. For example, using any of these parameters, we can get different patterns of iris, fingerprints, toeprints, soleprints that differentiate the 14 billion people in the world,” he said.

Compared to foreign machines, Ibiyemi said the one developed by his team is cheaper and more functional. While an Iris Scanner from overseas cost N400,000 ($2,500), he said a locally-made one cost only N60, 000 to produce.

Prof. Ibiyemi, who thanked the Federal Government for making the grant of $250,000 (about N31million) available for the study, he challenged other researchers in the country to access available research funds. He lamented that out of the available $18millon STEP-B funds, only about 10 per cent has so far been accessed by 18 successful researchers nationwide.

Well while I maybe speaking as an engineer, most peeps crying up and down about using the word "invent" are doing so solely from a lame man or purely scientific perspective.
The bone of contention behind the use of the word "invention" revolves around the word "originality".
Has a biometric machine EXACTLY like what was produced been produced before?
Can this innovation or invention be given a patent?
If your answers are NO and yes respectively to both questions, then kick back relax and swallow a big as*s chill pill cos those men have invented a new type of biometric machine.
Its like me inventing a new process of liquefying natural gas.
Did I discover liquefaction of natural gas? Hell NO.
That doesn't stop my new discovery/invention from being "patent-able" signifying its originality.
#rest my case

An improvement upon a machine or product is called innovation. Value added features on a machine is an innovation. For example u cant say techno invented a mobile phone despite the fact that new features are added daily for their new set of phone. Invention is different from innovation.
