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.
After his secondary school education in Nigeria in 2009, he wrote JAMB exams twice trying to get an admission into Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria to study medicine, but all to no avail. 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 Karina said, “ 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.
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

Please, Kato dont come to Nigeria. I know a NIgerian who studied in China and acquired much engineering knowledge in electronics and can build inverters better than most imported ones. He also can build good airconditioners and is vast in various sophisticated gadgets, yet when he came home he was abandoned as no one even cared for his knowledge and skills. That is what you may face. Go to UK, Canada or any other good country like even Germany where you will make better use of your skills and get more knowledge and money.

I actually think a large part of this story is not true. It was only sweetened to make the student look like a genius.
PROOF:
1. He cannot be a genius when he cud not pass jamb and even state universities in Nigeria are rejecting him. (And I think he has money so no one shud come and tell me naija factor)
2. The first and foundamental step in system development is to understand the existing system. This also applies to all sorts of mechanical, mechatronic and robotic engineering. If u don't understand how EXACTLY how dat stuff works manually, u can NEVER automate it. Simple!! In fact u need to understand the inner logic of the manual system before u can design a plan to automate it.
The guy said he could not solve a Rubik cube himself. How on earth was he able to design a robot that can solve one? ThAt will be impossible!!! Quote me anywhere and I will defend this.
This guy cud not have built this stuff himself (If it was actually built).
Finally, I don't trust some of these foreign universities. Many of them are pure scam looking to swindle unsuspecting migrant students who are seeking for paper qualification by a foreign body.

I advice you not to rush back home, gather enough knowledge about the field of artificial intelligence before coming back to Nigeria. The tools you need to succeed are easily accessible over there in asia especially in China. If you intend leavng Sri Lanka in order to further your area of specialty, I suggest you head to China.
