He is an 'E' pupil and cannot even spell simple words (like 'success') but has been able to tap electricity from a nearby river ...NTV news  If you are an eagle don't hang around with chickens; chickens don't fly....

Boy likely suffers from a learning disability like Richard Branson but very gifted in hands on stuff. What he needs is funding, not books and teachers. Life is short. Live passionately.

With this education system of ours that only churns out crammers  and a Government that wouldn't careless? What happened to the solar lights that won a CNN award? I thought they'd now be everywhere?

What he needs is funding, not books and teachers. funding to do what? to generate more village electricity? when i was in primary school, i read some books and made biogas and electricity from a pit latrine. also made turpentine from waste plastic. other kids i knew also did stuff like that - and even more. and we were not geniuses or anything - that i believe is something kids do all over the world growing up. some wazuans are too easily impressed or had unimaginative childhood.

So were you in the news? Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

Soon they will report that somebody made soap in the village!!!! .....If you make an archaic version of something which is already functioning out there, is that innovation? ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

At this rate people lighting their own farts will be praised for their scientific brilliance. Are we that desperate? Come on.

Ditto And this will be a motivation to other young 'experimentalists'. Grand innovations start out this way. Imagine with your resourcefulness had you been encouraged in a big way.. Lets support this kid, lest he ends up in Wazua talking like this fella.

At least the parents of the young man do not pay for electricity unlike all Wazuans with all their As. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
