"Wooden toys for kids. If we are a serious country, the young lad is a company owner."
@olawaleolu93 said:
"Great talent there bro... I just pray he gets help on time for this and hope that someone will not come and say, no he must be a lawyer."
@khaozar7 asked:
"How do we help him now? na to just encourage him to do better and hope for a better future."
@Ogo2908 said:
"Creativity at it best. However the kid needs to be introduced to computer-aided diagrams. That's what is being used for product/design modeling. Most of us were creative like this while growing up but we were never introduced to that Autocad that will change our life."
@abiolaitunucole said:
"When he's through with that work of Art, please let's see the finish product and price."
Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za earlier reported that a 14-year-old Nigerian boy, Praise Kelechi, showed off his improvisational skill of using cartons to create robots and other superhero costumes.
In an interview, the boy, while, displaying the Iron Man suit replica he made, said he was working on it before the lockdown but had more time to perfect it as school was on a forced holiday.
