Makes absolutely no sense. The kid's car models don't move or work! He's no better than a sculptor/toymaker.Why does Africa always celebrate mediocrity?!

That is why he is being sent to the US to study automotive design and not engineering.

If you read this report very well you will notice the scholarship is for him to study automotive design, read about automotive design and you will realise who the mediocre here is.

Wont the boy have to had gained admission to an American university 1st before you can award him a scholarship? I mean this is not like we do in Nigeria where you call the VC of Sokoto state University and say I have one boy....


I bet this is just a publicity stunt and the last we hear of this.

u need to be educated that automobile designers ain't responsible for making the car move. u can help ursef with more info by reading abt Jelani Aliyu

Am so happy to see dat his been recognized by d government. These are the kinds of brain we need to develop as a nation. There's also his guy from the northern part of Nigeria dat is doing well in designing cars for GM motors in United States.

This just shows that with handwork and consistency, the sky is just the starting point no matter how long it takes to fly. It was earlier reported about this young intellect identified as Bashar Aliyu from Sokoto -who designs dynamic and awesome car models. Luck has now caught up with the talented teenager as the Sokoto state governor -Aminu Tambuwal today awarded scholarship to him to study automotive design in an American University. Congrats to him

it's good to encourage people I agree but really this is the kind of thing I expect from a primary school pupil, not an adult.

Lols.... I dey book space bro/buy land.

I dey fine oo hw you?

Am Okay Brother

I have been visiting nairaland everyday since 2009 and Seun has not done anything for me. It is high time I relocated to Sokoto.

Automotive design, that's what he's going there to study. You be confirmed OLODO

he better board a flight now and vamooses before his kinsmen kill him.

wow! a new beginning. Aliyu all d best.

dainformant:
d power of social media...just few weeks after his news went viral comes this good news.. nice

You've spoken my mind!

Hope15:
See painment!

You have obviously closed your eyes to the guy's intended course of study - automotive design, NOT manufacturing/engineering bros.

No mind the bad belle wey just commented based on the caption.

I can cook too @ Aminu Tambuwal

Ok I will tell him

Are you sure you know about car design? Moving cars are built by teams of engineers and you expect him to build one all by himself? Even If he did, I tempted to think you would identify him as a toy maker. Biko this is nigeria, not China. Slowly but surely we will get there.

When the boys yab we women that we have chicken brain una go dey prove them right.

The guy just stated a valid point which you could've disputed like the other liberal minded guys.

Please learn to sit back and think before attacking.

Smh.

mediocre statement; did the governor give him a job? no, he gave him the opportunity to go learn how 2 probably build a better car to the 1 he made....in few yrs time, if he gains lots and owns his own car factory (I pray he does), u'd be 1 of those famzing him.....God knows I can't build a faction of what he did, given the right tools, he'd build a jeep and that's what d gov just gave him d opportunity to do....support our own no matter how little they do, that way u'd give him more joy to do more

obailala:
Huh?

Is it me or does anyone else think this makes absolutely no sense?... Or could it be that I am missing a part of the story?... What is special about a person creating a prototype design of a car?... If a moulded prototype of a car can fetch American scholarship, then I guess sculptors on the streets should start moulding rockets, maybe Tambuwal will send them to NASA.

No be by force to comment, you dont have an idea that model can fetch in the US.

You should be congratulating NLers for bringing this guy to national attention. I expect the Delta State Govt to do the same for that mini aircraft maker.

Lol... Guy, that model is a toy and can't fetch nothing in the US, except of course the lad has got other skills.

Your great knowledge should have told you that before any prototype is built, it is first designed. Be happy when others succeed, yours is on the way bro.

Good move by the Governor.

We have very many talented kids in the East. How many of them have the govts of the east given such scholarships? Human development is the highest kind of investment.

At times I wonder the brand of weed some of these our governors smoke.
