Why not give Igbo's 50% of All Nigeria Federal Ministry and see this country turn around in 3 months to Industry and Technology hubs

You are mad. Everything for you IPOBians is centered around tribalism, hate for others and the inferiority complex you can never overcome.

Is that an Igbo man below and do you see Yorubas shouting and claiming his individual brilliance as an ethnic achievement? Worthless bigot.

Why I invented D-Box, world’s 1st portable ventilator
ON JANUARY 19, 201610:38 AMIN HEALTH, NEWS
By Sola Ogundipe

IN 2012, as a young medical doctor, Dr. Dayo Olakulehin had a brainwave. His moment of ingenuity came during his housemanship while he was on duty one night at the Olikoye Ransome Kuti Children emergency ward, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi Araba, Lagos. Olakulehin’s idea was to design and build a portable, battery-powered ventilator specifically to assist unconscious patients breathe.

All these old leaders should either let Igbos go or die quickly so my generation can do so willingly and asap. I genuinely believe Igbos are Nigeria's greatest enemies-within. They have been nothing but a menace over this Covid-19 challenge.

Imagine if a terrible pandemic capable of wiping out a large chunk of humanity cannot even bring out the compassion, humility and spirit of unity/humanity in Igbos what can?

How long do we want to carry this one Nigeria thingy on our head with a people who cannot heal, let go of hating or move on?

Why are these igbo here turning everything to tribal war? Are they not sensitive enough to know that knowledge is not limited to one tribe. I wonder the reasoning mentality of some of them here. As well, igbo are scattered everywhere in this country and if they think every Yoruba or other tribes are happy with what's going on in this country then they are misleading themselves. Sense is needed at this level.

Had it been its crime,,,,u won't be saying this,celebrat them once..

IGBO AMAKA my foot just as quick as this was published is the same speed the stupid non existent worthless project would cease to exist..............rubbish and before any tribal idiot comments am ibo but i dont stand for mediocrity when i see one and Nigeria and any thing that comes out of it is a joke and is laden with either stupidity or corruption

I did my IT at NASENI, untapped MDA under ministry of science and tech...i remember being part of the team that designed a solar cooker and cassava blending plant.

we are still waiting for his pencil. God help anyone using made in Nigeria ventilator...all your relatives will hear is "sorry"

Celebrate what? Celebrate that a megalomaniac ethnic group, suffering from a messiah complex, remains obsessed with divisively celebrating Nigerian achievement as Igbo/Biafra greatness even at a time like this that should unite humanity? Everything Igbos do or say is alway with the intention of belittling or disenfranchising others while fraudulently touting notions of their own greatness or superiority.

What exactly have Igbos done here close to the pioneering achievement a Yoruba achieved below that Yorubas are not making noise about?

My friend just shut up and tell off your brothers. They are achieving nothing other than making Nigerians more fed up of Igbos.

By Sola Ogundipe

IN 2012, as a young medical doctor, Dr. Dayo Olakulehin had a brainwave. His moment of ingenuity came during his housemanship while he was on duty one night at the Olikoye Ransome Kuti Children emergency ward, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi Araba, Lagos. Olakulehin’s idea was to design and build a portable, battery-powered ventilator specifically to assist unconscious patients breathe.


His belief that such a medical device that could potentially save millions of lives of patients worldwide was based on the personal experience he had. As a medic, he noticed that many patients in respiratory failure requiring ventilator support are unable to access it for reasons of cost and availability. The current alternative is for health workers to indefinitely ventilate these patients using a CPR bag and there are instances in which patients are ventilated for days, with health workers taking turns to keep those patients alive by manually compressing the CPR bag.

Personal experience

Olakulehin, who told Good Health Weekly, that he had conviction that a portable, battery operated device that automates the process of providing ventilator support for respiratory failure patients anywhere and not just in the Intensive Care Unit, ICU would be a life saver. I had manually ventilated a 5-year-old boy for four hours and at about 2am, I fell asleep, only to be awakened by the boy’s father.

“If the child had continued without ventilation for longer than four minutes, it could have resulted in irreversible brain damage. “This experience was common among hospital staff at LUTH and other medical facilities. It was after one of such incidents the idea for an alternative ventilation method came to my mind. And the D-Box was born.”

But at that point, Olakulehin, who obtained his medical degree from the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, was handicapped. Although he had come up with such marvellous idea, being a general practice physician, he had no training in biomedical engineering and needed to raise funds to execute the capital intensive venture. “I knew having the idea was not sufficient, I needed to find a way to make it a reality. I knew nothing about business, patenting or developing innovations.

“I went online looking for help, and I found a course on Healthcare innovation and entrepreneurship. This course taught me how to develop a patent. I approached a number of medical device companies and found out it was a lot easier to sell a product than to sell an idea. Nevertheless, the young doctor knew did not relent.

Speaking in Lagos last week during the public presentation of the prototype of the D-Box, he said: “I literally sat on the idea for three years trying to take the next vital step until I met Mr. Kunle Soriyan and Thelma Ekiyor of Afrigrants. “This led to the founding of LigandCorp and shifted my paradigm from focusing on one product to creating a company that drives medical innovation, particularly among young Nigerians.

As the CEO of LigandCorp, the search for a prototype developer began and while in Canada, a collaboration was formed with Inertia, an engineering and design company. that committed to partnering with LigandCorp and worked hard to get the prototype ready.“ Introducing the D-Box, Olakulehin described it as an innovative affordable battery operated ventilator designed to automate CPR bags and deliver controlled breaths to patients with respiratory problems.

While conventional ventilators averagely cost $30,000 and low-cost alternatives (still in development) are to be sold for $3,000, the D-Box comes at an introductory price of $300.

Requires no expertise

“It requires little or no expertise to use and is powered by a rechargeable battery that facilitates usage in remote rural communities and urban centers with limited facilities. “When you encounter an unconscious patient, this happens to be the common pathway for many illnesses. Irrespective of what has caused the patient’s illness, the major common pathway is cardiac arrest. We also have common trauma cases in and out of the emergency room where people are unconscious and need to be resuscitated.

“Circulation and ventilation are keys to life, and that is what we are addressing with the D-box. It is the ubiquitous device. We are raising the standard. What we used to have is that a doctor manually compressed the CPR bag. What we have done is to move that job to the D-box. It will allow our trained doctors to pay attention to other critical needs of the patients.

Stating that the device has been patented, he said a patent was obtained at inception. “When I did the product development, I got another patent. When we made the prototype, we aso had to file another patent. We have the best of intellectual property lawyers and we realise that intellectual property theft is a major issue, especially for a product that has tendency to go global. We are taking the product proactively and taking it into the global market.

The D-Box

Essentially, the D-Box is different because it is less sophisticated and less complex than existing ventilators. Olakunlehin said it is portable, cheaper and easier to handle. “While the big teaching hospitals have 5-6 units of ventilators that are electricity dependent and sensitive, the D-box can work on battery power for 8-12 hours. It’s an amazing breakthrough.

“However it does not replace existing ventilators which exist for critical intensive care, it is being introduced to improve the quality of care that is available for the patient. “It is limited currently because it cannot be used for a child, unlike existing ventilators that have different modes, this is only Intermitent Positive Pressure Ventilation, IPPV, but we hope to improve it in the future.”

Can Nigeria produce bicycle horn? This people should stop this deception.

Niggmatic:
Lol.
Nice development.

We will be expecting 1000 pieces of ventilator from Ọnụ in the next 1 week be that

Seeing is believing sha. In this case, I will only believe when I see.

1,000 pieces ke? You think they are producing bottle water? Learnt each new one cost like $9,800 only

Very good, but should be tested on any infected Government official first b4 others.

You are a just dingbat meaningless tribalist of no consequence. You might be shocked that the innovation might have emanated from Ahmadu Bello University. It's people like you that make others see igbos as narssicistic in nature.
Stop painting my people as enthic sentimental folks.

does it use Tiger battery or Tudor?

very soon, APC propagandist and lie Mohammed will say Nigeria has exported 4,000 pieces of Nigerian made Ventilators.

Two weeks after, we will hear on TV that, Abuja and Lagos has inky total of 13 ventilators and none available for covid patients

Las las they will tell us PDP sabotaged the distribution and diverted them to Benin republic

useless country

Igbo man and rivalry and competition eve when nobody is fighting or competing with him.

Must everything be tribalised? So irritating. What has this got to do with " Igbo Amaka"

He said "Nigeria" and not "Igbo".

Make una get small sense bikonu!

If this is 100% Nigerian made then, it's a nice development, it means a major breakthrough for Nigeria and will generate a whole lot of money for the economy even after the covid 19 pandemic pandemic

God punish me if I feel the Yorubas need Igbos with us in Nigeria or if I Harbour any doubt at all that Yoruba nation will be greatest if Nigeria split.

God will punish you if I have ever been against Igbos leaving to have their Biafra. Egbere.

So saying Igbo Amaka is being tribalist.

Be informed that those shouting Igbo Amaka on nairaland are not Igbos

Now you kill yourself.

You Igbos are the ones killing yourselves even if you are too egocentric and myopic to know it.

How did you get where you are today, i.e "marginalized" according to you guys, when you don't understand that your behavior at critical times like this defines who/what you are, unforgettably, to other Nigerians same as the North never got over how you butchered their leaders and SPARED yours?

How is it possible for others to see you guys as anything but anti-Nigerian saboteurs and the enemies-within with your conduct currently? Tomorrow you then want same Nigerians to put their fate in the hands of an Igbo man.
