And at the turn of 16, he had built an RC scale airplane that flies which he called “Donko King”. His talents and inventions came into light when a video of him riding his locally-made motorbike hit the internet.
His family lives off his mother’s bean cakes business. He said: “I discovered my talents when I was 7 and have been building things ever since including locally-made remote-controlled cars. Likewise, single-seater aircraft, two-seater sea boat, and the most recent is the motorbike. “My major challenge so far has been financing. I do some menial jobs to make sure I invent and build something.”
