Boy builds ATM that dispenses cash
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that a Nigerian boy had displayed creativity as built an ATM that dispenses cash.
In a video that was shared on Facebook by Ayo Ojeniyi, the boy could be seen test running the ATM as a man interviewed him.
The man asked him of his name and what he has built, to which the boy responded. The man then asked him to test run the machine and the boy did to the amazement of the former.
An ATM card was inserted into the machine and the boy punched some keys on it. He then connected a battery and the machine dispensed naira notes. The man couldn't believe his eyes when the machine dispensed the cash.
