Apparently, the young man needs at least N1,000,000 (about $2,000) right now for continuation of his research and products' improvements. The next step is to collect two million naira from angel investors.

"Creative and inventive minds in Africa should be identified, supported and celebrated. Instead of marrying a third wife or building a forth house you would hardly ever sleep in, invest that money in people like Emeka Nelson," Karo Kanye Akamune urges Nigerians on Facebook.

"I can imagine a world where human feaces, urine etc are turned into cooking gas and best of fertilizers for our farmers.

"I can imagine a society where this machine replaces all our soak away and pit latrine toilet systems. Creative minds tech team is working on it now," the scientist/engineer wrote in his post dated February 6, announcing the new invention.
