How is he the highest paid robotics engineer?


Bloggers have capitslized on the poverty stricken mentality of their short sighted nigerian readers to always add a monetary value to any news they put out so that people open it and give them clicks. They are the ones that staryed calling evrry businessman a billionaore, raising the prices of good when they call it, if you are on instagram too you will find out Tunde Ednut does the same thing. Always talking about monetary vakue of everything, converting hard currency to naira to put more weight on its price value. One day we will see the damage this has done in the long term.

How can someone just throw around any statement and people should just buy it without question?

Bro,I do agree with you submissions but then,in Comparative Analysis,tell us your own story - and we use that as a base for better judgement,na?
If you can gives us another Nigerians- who can be placed with Values,then we stop the analysis but in the absence of none,then we moved!

He is paid more than the engineers at Boston Dynamics, Intrinsic, Zebra Tech and co.

While the guy is doing a lot for himself. Do not place him where he isnt.

That's how you people call Cottage hospitals "world class".
Hahaha.... Ultra modern, state of the art.

If Nigeria was strictly merit based... 95% of the best positions will be dominated by Yorubas.

Deep down, all Nigerians know this fact, just don't want to it it.

By far the most intelligent and most accomplished.

I am a German from Munich Isale, but don't mind getting tribal marks and changing ethnicity to Yoruba grin

Shakespeare in 456 BC - USA is in the 21st Century, Nigeria SW is in 20th, North and SS in 19th. SE Nigeria in 11th Century.

I was shocked when my friend, AfonjaConehead and his wife, Princess Faith Chukwu came to my house to recommend some who would write both of them Yoruba tribal marks grin grin cheesy


I need to know your plug and what strain he has been feeding you lately,because all the nuts don loose for ys brain again😂😂😂😂😂😂

google.com is our friend.

He made headlines in 2018 as the highest-paid robotics engineer. He created Mekamon, the world’s first gaming robot. When Mekamon was launched, 500 bots were sold and $7.5 million was generated. This success led him to be featured in the 2018 Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe.

How can someone who received only 10 million dollars be the highest paid robotics engineer?
"Just 10million dollars" coming from someone who has never made 1million naira in his entire life?

Silas Adekunle is the co-founder of Awarri, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) research lab startup. Alongside his partner, Eniola Edun, Adekunle established Awarri to ensure Africans have representation in the rapidly evolving field of AI.

Awarri was born out of the need to democratise access to AI and robotics technology across the continent. The startup uses MekaMon, an innovative gaming robot, as a tool to inspire young tech enthusiasts and spark interest in STEM fields.

MekaMon is a four-legged robot that moves like a real creature, bringing video games to life through robotics and augmented reality. An app developed alongside MekaMon allowed s to control the robot and enjoy an even richer gaming experience.

Last year, Bosun Tijani, Nigeria’s Minister of Information, Communication, and Digital Economy, announced a partnership with Awarri to build Nigeria’s own large language model (LLM).
Awarri l'obirin n'wa nkan obe!

“Awarri, along with nonprofit Data.org and two government bodies, will build an LLM trained in five low-resource languages and accented English,” the minister stated.


Before founding Awarri, Adekunle and Edun were more prominent in the gaming industry. Edun had launched Gamr Africa, a startup aimed at advancing gaming culture in Lagos, while Adekunle gained international recognition through Reach Robotics. Reach Robotics achieved a major milestone when it signed a deal with Apple for the distribution of MekaMon.

Awarri later acquired the rights to MekaMon, integrating the robot into Nigerian schools to teach children computer science and coding skills. “MekaMon has been a powerful tool in introducing students to technology in a hands-on and engaging way,” Edun noted.

Continuing its mission of fostering AI talent, Awarri launched a data annotation lab in Ikorodu, Lagos, in November 2023. The lab is designed to serve as an AI talent development hub, particularly for the densely populated suburban area.

In the same year, it launched LangEasy, a platform that allows anyone with a smartphone to help train the model through voice and text inputs. LangEasy gives s sentences to read aloud and asks them to save the audio on the app. The app will help crowdsource data for Awarri’s LLM.

Yes,we have to give it to him as nobody or institution has disputed that he is the highest paid.
He might be the highest paid ROBOTIC engineer not necessarily the whole gamut of ICT or any other sector other then ROBOTIC.
Succinctly,we can say that he is one of the highest paid.
Kudos to him for making Nigeria proud.

The post about negative space vs white space was incredibly helpful! I used to think they were the same thing, but now I understand how important it is to differentiate them when creating designs. Thanks to this, I was able to improve the visual balance of my designs and make them more readable. The space now works to draw attention to key elements, instead of seeming empty.
