Leave a Comment
A 12-year-old Ugandan has attracted admiration within and
beyond the shores of his country after he carved a Land Rover
and a computer from wood.
His dream to own a car might seem far from reality, at least, for
now, the Mubende-born lad has proved to the world that he
could improvise his goal.
Kudos abound on social media since the pictures of the boy’s
well crafted Land Rover and computer went viral.
What makes the invention historic and commendable according
to his admirers is the fact that he had not learned the technical
skills of carving before he ventured into the task.
“A young boy from Mubende, Uganda has invented a Land
Rover and a laptop from wood. The young boy shocked his
community and country at large with the historic invention and
construction. According to him ‘I have always dreamt of owning
a computer and a car’, exclusive joint reports.
A commentator on nairaland, who goes by the monica, Sulmeza,
described the boy as ‘super-talented’.
He wrote, “If truly he did that alone…then the kid is super-
talented…quite a creative young mind….bravo…”
Another nairalander, Edet, commended the boy’s artistry and
wished that he was sponsored to fully utilise his talent.
He said, “The boy is creative, no doubt about it, but who’ll
expose him to the world!”
Pretydiva, who also joined others to celebrate the boy, said,
“This is pure talent that needs to be harnessed. Nice one.”
Another commentator on nairaland, who identified himself only
as Mr. KontrovErsy, urged support for the boy.
“Please, let them help this boy. Seriously, he has something to
offer,” he wrote.
A post on another online blog, myafricanow, described the feat
as a product of creative minds in Africa.
It read, “Hopefully he will use his prototype to start working on
the real thing. What this boy needs now is support and
mentoring. We hope someone is paying attention.
“The boy’s brain needs to be nurtured. It just goes to show
Africans are intellectually awesome and creative.”
One Dai Caeser wrote on his Twitter handle that the boy had a
better chance to excel if he were to be a westerner.
“Perfect but in Uganda, he is no more. He would be somebody if
he is an American or a European,” he wrote.
