According to CNBC: “Silas Adekunle was born in Nigeria and moved to the UK at about 11 years old. He spent much of his childhood obsessed with science and technology, playing with Lego robot kits and watching YouTube videos to get ideas for simple robots he could build himself at home.

Now 27, Adekunle is the CEO and founder of a robotics company that he says has raised $10 million in funding. He also built what he calls the world’s first gaming robot, which impressed Apple executives enough that, in 2017, the tech giant signed an exclusive distribution deal with Adekunle’s UK-based company, Reach Robotics. Apple now sells the robots at $250 a pop.”

In Southern part of Nigeria, if the SARS officers see you with this hairstyle and a laptop, “you are a criminal”, they would conclude- yahoo boy. The ignorant society believe so too, sadly.

Osinbajo seen here with wide smile on his face is active on Twitter and Facebook but not once did I see him Tweet about police brutality against young Nigerians who are aspiring to be software, robotic engineers, code writers and developers like Silas, but are being profiled for extortion and execution just because of the way they dress or the job they choose as career – IT.
