I deleted the generator piece because the TV station which posted the video has removed the video, editing out the contacts of the inventor from the new version I have seen. I do hope they do not charge the guy to repost the original video. With the video gone, there was no need of leaving the piece. So, I deleted it. More so, I will not post the new version where they have edited out the inventor’s contact.
We will continue to showcase inventors but as I have said, praising them online does nothing. The breakthrough will come when someone can bring them together, help them on IP processes and transform them from being inventors to innovators.
But do not think it is an easy thing: many Nigerian makers and inventors will NEVER sign a document because yes, they just like to be doing their garage thing forever. They want FREE money to help them. But ask them to give equity, they will refuse.

Think about it: why must you be begging when you have a great idea? It comes down to our basic education. In America, a kid in primary 4 already knows what copyright means and from there, they understand property rights.
But in Nigeria, men and women have great ideas, and yet they prefer to beg, instead of entering into partnerships. I do not get their “pity feel” because if you ask most to give equity for cash injection, they will refuse.
Yet, I hope we get it right soon!
Watch the video and order your generator; no petrol or diesel!

Now that we have been preaching entrepreneurship and practical skills, our education system needs to reflect same too. For every successful enterprise, three key skills must be present: product knowledge, finance knowledge and marketing knowledge. For all the noise and confusion in our entrepreneurial space, all the focus still centre on product knowledge, which is still not optimal anyway, nothing meaningful has been done in the domains of finance and marketing; so the pity party continues.
We have to devote more time into building and organising the market systems, that you can craft or couple things doesn’t mean you can sell or you know anything about finance or contract and its role in an enterprise. We don’t really have a recognisable system in this land, just come as you are, only to scale poverty, as against wealth.
It’s a work in progress, we will see where we are in few years from now; in the meantime, support what you can.
Note: the whole idea of a fuel-less generator is debatable. No one knows what is being claimed until someone can see what was done. So, do not put so much excitement on this post. Personally, I like to support young people, but I do not believe in most of these technical claims.

What I think is one of biggest challenges in our entrepreneurial space is that we do not know how to sell. Somebody constructed ‘fuelless generator’, tested it, and it worked, yet it’s being marketed like you are begging passersby to dash you money for breakfast? I think we sell ourselves very cheap in this part of the world.
Do not bring government into this, because when you cut a tree from your village forest, it’s not the government that teaches you how to sell it, you simply sell and make money. Why is it that when young folks invent something, we now start calling government or begging for support? It means that we still don’t know how to assess value, which puts you in a great position to capture it.
What is electric car then? If somebody can couple a generator without fuel, what’s the need for expensive solar panels that barely inspire? Our storytelling skills need serious upgrade, it’s the chief reason why Nigeria is still on the ground.
Once Mhagic-Vector goes live, it will make it possible for people who can create to receive tips across the globe, to support their ministry, without needing to keep shouting government or politicians, everyone who watches will be able to drop N100 or $1, ramp it up in thousands, and the creator will have enough funds to start a small factory; no stories.
We need to market our inventions and innovations better, without making them appear cheap or very ordinary.
