Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi, seen here, a 24-year-old physics undergraduate in northern Nigeria, takes old cars and motorbikes to pieces in the back yard at home and builds his own helicopters from the parts(AFP/File/Pius Utomi)
I’ll ride in a homemade Nigerian helicopter right after my Nigerian retirement bank account pays off.

I built a Polaris Nucliar [sic] sub once.

My brother and I built an airplane using a motorcycle engine and scrap parts. Mom wouldn’t let us try it - he was 12 and I was 10...
