Nigerian man invents light-producing device
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a Nigerian man had invented a device that produces light in a simple way.
The device is called a WATTer Lamp, and it produces light using a simple water and salt solution. The inventor, Samuel Yakubu, said he started working on the device in 2003, using kerosene, unripe fruits, and rechargeable batteries.
He noted that his aim was to help families to afford it irrespective of social status. Yakubu said he later sent the prototype of the product to China, where it was modified, and now it is being marketed.
