In a quiet rural community in Qua’anpan Local Government Area of Plateau State, a 10-year-old boy is drawing attention for his unusual creativity and practical intelligence despite having no access to electricity or modern technological tools.
Paul Daboer, just 10 years old, has demonstrated remarkable ingenuity by constructing a basic power bank using tiger batteries, enabling his parents to charge their mobile phones at home. The innovation was driven by necessity, as the family often could not afford the cost of charging phones outside their home.
According to someone who interacted personally with Paul, the young boy confidently explained how he connected the batteries to create a functional charging system that meets his family’s everyday needs.
Beyond phone charging, Paul also assembled a simple lighting system using tiger batteries and a bulb, providing light in their home at night. The makeshift lighting serves several important purposes — it allows the family to see clearly after dark and improves security by making it easier to detect suspicious movement around the house.
For a child of his age, Paul’s ability to identify real-life problems and develop low-cost, practical solutions using locally available materials stands out. His curiosity, creativity, and determination to support his family highlight the untapped potential that exists among many children in underserved rural communities who lack access to formal technological education and resources.
Observers say Paul’s story is a reminder that talent and intelligence are not limited by geography or wealth, but often require opportunity and support to fully develop.
Many have expressed hope that Paul will be connected with mentors, educational opportunities, and institutions that can nurture his abilities and guide him toward a brighter future.
