Fifteen-year-old master Babaimilehin Daomi is putting Lagos State in the limelight with innovations that have won him an award in Abuja. Daniel Essiet writes.
While most teenagers spend their free time playing video games, Master Babaimilehin Daomi, a pupil of Dobar College in Ikorodu Local Government Area, Lagos State, has been working on creating self-powered appliances. His impressive works have already earned him an award of ‘Outstanding Innovation in Technology’. The award was presented by Kids & Teens with Outstanding Leadership Abilities (KOLA) Initiative in Abuja.
The 15-year-old captured everyone’s attention with the creation of a device that could charge cellphones in just minutes and do away with the smartphone battery-related anxiety once and for all. He has also got the attention of the state government.
Babaimilehin is gaining national recognition with little technology projects that separates inventors from ordinary people. His remarkable success has made him one of the most famous young inventors in the country, a hero to hundreds of young inventors with great innovative stories to tell. The teenager rose to prominence after showing off a prototype version of portable charger and fan that he made.
The capabilities of Babamilehin enabled him to do a lot of fabrications and prototypes.
While he is one of the youngest techies to find success, he is not dedicating his life now to making money but to improve on his products so they can make good business sense for large tech firms.
