In the video that was shared on LinkedIn by a professor identified as Ndubuisi Ekekwe, the kids could be seen racing with wooden vehicles as onlookers enjoyed the moment.

Speaking about the video, Professor Ekekwe said:

"They call it Italian Grand Prix but those days in the village it was something more amazing: Akpurachi ride. Yes, you get a “ballrex” with an old bicycle chain, put some wooden things together, stay on a hilly place, and get gravity to get you down.

"It’s nice that you have spotted this out, and your remarks described it well enough. It’s common sight in my village too but l can’t put a name to it, unfortunately. The fact here for me is that our people have attempted everything you now know as big money spinning businesses as mere adventures in the past.

"This lends credence to one of my posts on how creative and innovative the African child can be even without going to school to study physics, chemistry, biology or engineering for that matter.

"Given the same tools, opportunities and platforms, the average African child can outperform and outclass his western counterparts.

"If only African governments and some private sector players can harness the native intelligence and creative mind of the African child, there would be less poverty on the continent."
