MEET THE INVENTOR OF NIGERIA'S FIRST LIMOUSINE TRICYCLE



Ibrahim Adekunle’s Limousine Tricycle was one of the five selected inventions on the BBC’s coverage of Maker Faire Africa, an exhibition for inventors which took place in Lagos recently. He is Adekunle Ibrahim a.k.a. Mr. Make People Happy, a 26 year old Blacksmith and Welder.  

His passion and knack for reconstructing and remodeling transport vehicles has put him on the international platform. The invention is a replica of the popular KEKE NAPEP but was further expanded to accommodate more seats and passengers.

Adekunle, who refers to his invention as Limousine Tricycle said he constructed the vehicle after cutting the regular tricycle into two and adding more seats and spare parts to make it look like a car. The Limousine Tricycle can contain between 10-13 passengers at a time.


He is popularly called “Mr. Make People Happy” because his invention always put smiles on the faces of people that come in contact with it. The invention took him 6 months to complete because of lack of finances but according to him, it will take only two days if all the materials are available.

This passionate and hard working genius operates from his little space under the Oregun-Opebi link bridge in Ikeja, Lagos. He wants support from the appropriate authorities to keep his dream alive.
