Apart from court houses and really backward organizations, in Nigeria, the machine called the typewriter, now, belongs to the museum. Its Pri-Pra sound is now thankfully becoming a distant echo. Besides the typewriter, there are still about five technologies that still hang around to continually brand us ‘underdeveloped’. You can’t see them in any developed economy and here in Nigeria, people believe they have overstayed their welcome.
The Generator: As a result of erratic electricity all over the country, this necessary evil has permeated every sphere of Nigerian life. From the I better pass my neighbor small generators, to the giant sized power generators that are the life blood of any business, Nigerians spend N3.5 trn on generators annually. This is excluding petrol or diesel and the endless maintenance bills that come with this package. Apart from those who make money directly from this industry, Nigerians are tired of power generators; their noise, smoke, and cost. We just want constant electricity!
Pumping machines: If you want constant water supply in this country, you must dig your own borehole, and manage it for the rest of your life. Many Nigerians wish for a miracle just like Moses’, where they can speak to the rock and cause water to come forth! Nigerians really need these machines, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a time when we won’t!
Some modes of transportation: If we had a choice, we would do away with ninety percent of danfo buses, canoes and trains. Many of these vehicle models are so backward, and their maintenance so terrible, that they make it difficult for us to remember that at a time in history, inventions in transportation where the height of civilization.
Airport final check point: The screening section just before you enter the boarding area of any Nigerian airport is a really humbling experience. At that point, the rich and the poor, the young and the old, the celebrity and the commoner all take off their shoes, belts and jewel, and walk on their bare feet for at least five minutes. Not a very attractive picture!
Cooking fuels: Tired of kerosene and cooking gas? You’re not alone. There are many Nigerians like you who hunger for a time when we can do away with cooking fuels altogether and enter into the realm of constant electricity. Honestly, doing away with these five, means an economy removing the toga of underdeveloped into a developed status. Will this happen soon in Nigeria, time will tell!

5 tech innovations only for under developed economies
