No... he needs to turn his own raw products into viable and saleable products
After that look for investor

He has done nothing new to attract The attention of the government.

These so called creators usually go nowhere.

It can never be commercialised the normal route. It can't complete against the fiercely competitive Chinese brands and their huge advertised.

I think an online marketplace should be created to cater to these creators

I'm sure there'll be a collectors market for things like this

Young man, he hadn't done anything, to produce an electronic board, you need "Smd components mounting machine" that cost over. 50,000 dollars, this is not even manufacturing the board oh, this is assembling components on the board, then there another machine to program flash memory, ROM, processor, ICs, trust me. This doesn't come up to the level of assembling a phone.

Yes. That's why he's asking for "support". I guess to mass-produce that and share for... not sure who'll want them.

I dont want to think that he dismantled a Nokia phone and and tied it in that wood because what he holds has not performed any function.

It is the same dumb assertion that that they have not been able to project that is he still parroting.

So you believe this?
If you are good,they will look for you because you are creative and sellable.

Truth be told, there’s nothing amazing in what he did, the world has gone beyond that. This is not 1910.

Secondly, listening to him talk, he was making sense at the beginning but a fool cannot hide his folly, someone that is looking for support and public sympathy still ended his speech with tribal bigotry and coloration. He said and I quote β€œ we will show us why god has blessed an Igbo man with intelligence β€œ

Hehehe, it’s that same bragging, unnecessary chest beating! So the others no get intelligence, na una wise pass? On top the useless ugly reengineered caricature whey he carry for hand. He should go and share it to his village streets kids to find something to play police and thief game

It's funny how people find it easy to talk down on things they can't or have never tried to achieve. If all this guy has done is successfully assemble a phone even using second hand parts, are we pretending that is not an achievement? Who else has sone it in Nigeria? If we were assembling phones wouldn't we be better off than we are today?

Please let's give some credit and encourage people who have shown some initiative to do more, rather than sit in our comfortable chairs and criticize good efforts when we have not done anything ourselves.

chai,so you need 50000$ to assemble an electroboard of a phone? nokia phone wey we dey buy for 15 thousand naira.

Even iphone 16 is sold for 4 million naira(highest price),16 pro and max wey never reach this world can never come out with that price

You even said that 50000$ is just for a so called electroboard
Meaning,if the company finally assemble the nokia phone,the company are going to spend more than a hundred of dollars,then the company are going to sell each phone for 14$,15$ or so

They gain profit abi?

Boss,no vex who you dey try impress with your liegrin

Impressive
to be sincere I don't see anything impressive about this,he just got different phone parts and just joined them on a piece of plywood as a circuit board I remember.my secondary school days in enugu we go to ogbete market and buy diodes,capacitors, transistors,semi conductors , circuit waferboard and build many things with it,fm radios,short wave radios walkie talkies, amplifiers,etc,I am impressed with the originality of using wood but it lack finishing touches and and the functionality and durability will be zero

Look at it from the number of unit that can be sold. Imagine selling more than 1 million unit
If you think it's cheap to assemble phones we would have had lot of them in naija

Impress? Most of you just assume we are all stupid together, I studied Computer science and information technology, I know this might be difficult for you to understand, but the main reason we can't boost of producing such devices is not because we are dumb, we just don't have that kind of funding.

Some secondary schools abroad have more funding than all the universities in some geopolitical zone put together, imagine some universities don't even have latest compilers to write programs, some still tech pascal in my time.

To answer your questions, yes, those machines are that cost, but because of volume, the cost are covered in the long run.

sure no vex,but the point i was trying to make is that those expenses you wrote are for starting a phone company not for creating a mobile phone

The expenses to make a a single mobile phone can't be 50,000$

No, he did the programming and all.

Be deceiving yourself.
Where did Uzoma get to understand embedded systems without proper education on that?

Except he used microprocessors like Raspberry Pi and co…

It’s commendable.
