Photos: Nigerian Youth Corper constructs a drone

A youth corp member, Olaolu Ayoola, who is currently serving in Osun state has constructed a drone with features such as Surveillance camera, 20mins Fly Time and BB Monitor. Olaolu, a  graduate of Computer Science/Engineering from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Oyo state, had a test run of the drone on Monday December 15th during the closing ceremony of the orientation exercise for Batch C youth Corp members at the state's NYSC Orientation camp.

Olaolu flew the drone for about 10minutes. Another photo after the cut...



The Deputy Governor of Osun state and military officers who were present at the ceremony commended his efforts, describing it as a good invention.

  19. And it ends there. Govt ought to encourage him by enhancing his skills but alas all they are after is 'second term' and 'reelection'. Naija I hail thee...

  25. Abeg they should let us hear word. These are things any Jss level student in the US or Israel can easily do, infact they do it better. We should blame the backwardness of our educational system for all this.

    Israel goes to pick drone pilots for further training from model plane flight clubs, whereas in Naija if i even try flying a model aeroplane or a quadcopter, i will end up in police station then DSS to explain myself.

    This level of drones that we freak out about in Naija are nothing, they use this to shoot movies. Its when you are talking about the reaper or the raptorthen you are talking drones

    1. To whom much is given, much is expected, however, when little or nothing is given to you and you manage to produce something, wouldn't you think that calls for commendation? It's like you comparing Gov, Fashola of Lagos State to Boris Johnson of London, pound for pound Fashola is no match, however, put all factors and reality on ground into consideration and you can say Fashola accomplished far more than Boris does.

  43. Ok I like dat noted. What I like about Blackberry is the pinging and the smartness, whenever I ping someone and that person read my pinging it'll show me R. And that R mean the person has read my pinging I really love bold 5, and the way I used to move from one application like facebook to whatsApp and to other applications, and whenever I take pictures with my Blackberry bold 5. It always clear and finer is my number one among the rest phones pictures, also with Blackberry protect when my former Bold 2 was stolen, it was Blackberry protect I used to get all my contact back because I used Blackberry protect to back-up all my contact before it was stolen, that is what I really love about blackberry.
