Nigerian 24-Year-Old Builds Helicopter from Junk

Out of intense simplicity, intense complexities arise. Latest on the scene is the 24-year-old undergraduate from Nigeria who built a helicopter out of an old car and bike parts. It was gathered that Mubarak Muhammed Abdullahi who happens to be  a physics student, spent eight months building the yellow model seen in the picture.

The enterprising young man was said to have used the money he made from repairing cell phones and computers to build this working helicopter. He also sourced some of the parts to build the helicopter from a crashed 747 plane.
