13. Mohammed Bah Abbah
Credits: Although he holds no patent on this invention, he is credited
with taking on the challenge of making accessible the “pot-in-pot
refrigerator” or “zeer”, a refrigerating device that does not use
electricity, to people in rural areas. He is a recipient of the Rolex
Award for Enterprise, an award that provided $75,000 which
Mohammed used to produce and distribute his invention in 11
northern states in Nigeria.
Bio: Mohammed developed his pot-in-pot
refrigerator by combining the knowledge
he had gained from his grandmother’s
craft of traditional pottery with simple
laws of physics. He followed up on the
idea by placing food in a small pot, which
is then placed in a larger pot. The space
between the two is filled with moist sand
and a wet cloth cover is used to cover the
whole set up. As the water in the moist sand evaporates through the
larger pot, it carries heat away from the inner core of the whole set up.
Mohammed holds no patent on this invention because the pot making
business is not new. What is novel is the fact that he set up a local
production facilities to provide the pot-in-pot for the cost of $2
(N320) for the smaller pot-in-pot refrigerator and $4 (N640) for the
bigger versions. The invention allows perishable food to extend their
spoilage rate. For example, meat can be stored in it for up to two
weeks instead of a few hours.
14. Olu Atanda
Credits: He is credited with the co-invention of a self-lubricating layer
for a data-storage device and disk and holds the following patents at
the USPTO.
Self-lubricating layer for data storage devices, United States
Patent No. 6,677,105, January 13, 2004.
Self-lubricating layer for a data storage disk, United States Patent
No. 6,430,114, August 6, 2002.
15. Brino Gilbert
Credits: He is credited with the invention of the Counter Collision
Gadget (CCG), a device that has the capacity to prevent accidents on
the road, air, sea and rail. The invention earned him many awards
including a bronze medal in the Aerospace/Aeronautics category at the
May 2003 edition of the Invention and New Product Exposition
(INPEX) in the United States. He also received a silver medal in the
manufacturing category and a trophy for being the best invention from
Africa in the continental category
Bio: Gilbert is a Nigerian physicist from Edo State. He spent 10 years
seeking government attention for his research and approached several
groups and individuals for sponsorship. His vision is to make CCG
exportable to many countries of the world.
16. Emeka Nchekwube

Hypoestoxides, derivatives and agonists thereof for use as stent-
coating agents, U.S. Patent no. 7229979

The last time I checked such a report of nine pilots was made in 2010 hardly a year after SA received its first batch of Gripens. So since then SAAF has been standing idle doing nothing to increase its number of pilots. Recruitments were made and some pilots were sent to Cuba and Russia. That is what I call progress.
