Nigerians have gotten used to the erratic power supply through the use of generators and inverter batteries that consume lots of money, but guess what? You can now generate electricity with potatoes...yes you heard right!
As the power failure in the country continues maybe as a result of the vandalism on power cables and oil pipelines by alleged Niger Delta militants, according to Power Minister, Tunde Fashola, a Nigerian man with no form of university education, may have found a solution for his household.
In a video clip released online, BattaBox presenter, Adeola spoke to Alabi Olushola who invented Potato Power - a way of generating electricity with potatoes, and asked him to explain how he invented his incredible idea, what he uses it for and how it is done.
Alabi said: “I know when you add positive and negative, it’s going to give you light… I don’t pay NEPA bill at home,” he said, adding that he has been working on this project for about six years and got his invention to work this year.
