I hope it's not like the death trap kekenapep my Abian people are passing off as helicopter.

Rubbish...did he fly in that piece of aluminum he called helicopter??
Didnt he see that of Imo state dude??
Scholarship wasted

ammyluv2002:
Wow! Awesome...."More power to his elbow"



Btw, don't let Oyibo buy you....always remember your Country

Mansongx:
Wow! Some people will surely feel baad, baad and dejected.

UK Daily mail reported that it flew.

But Daily mail NEVER said it flew.
It was the guy who claimed it lifted about a foot off the ground.

You're mistaken bro,we are not talking about Mwangi the Kenyan from Magomano, but Mustapha the Nigerian from Kano.

Check the last paragraph.

Most of us are happy to try a spot of DIY but there aren't many who would take on the challenge of building their own aircraft.
These unusual looking planes are the creations of amateur engineers in Africa who have made their own jets - often just using scrap metal, a book guide and a lot of improvisation.
Despite their lack of material, training and money, these determined aviation-enthusiasts have managed to build their own machines.

But there are a few success stories - 24-year-old physics student Nigerian Mubarak Muhammed Abdullahi being one of them.
He spent nearly a year building a 12-metre (39ft) long helicopter out of spare parts sourced from old cars, motorcycles, and even a crashed Boeing 747. He used money he saved from repairing cell phones and computers.
His bright yellow contraption with a salvaged Honda Civic engine could actually reach heights of seven ft. His invention helped secure him a scholarship to study aircraft maintenance in the UK.


Handmade: Mubarak Abdullahi, 24, stands next to the helicopter he constructed in Kano, Nigeria.


Creative: Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi, a 24-year-old physics undergraduate in northern Nigeria, used old cars and motorbikes to build his own helicopter in his back garden


Starting out: Aminu Abubakar can be seen welding the skeleton of a his helicopter out of scrap metal.


The homemade plane, which Abdullahi completed in 2007, earned him a scholarship to study aircraft maintenance in the UK.


Innovation: It may look like a car, but Abdullahi, pictured sitting in the front seat, used old car parts to make his own helicopter.

Some part of the bolded indicated he is a 24-year-old physics student. I guess he is a university student and the article fraudulently omitted such information or name of the university.
