A Nigerian man, identified as @XBrianDennis, has sparked controversy on social media after dismissing the talent of a teenage boy who gained fame for crafting a car using twigs. The boy’s remarkable skills went viral, showcasing his creativity and craftsmanship.

However, @XBrianDennis took to Twitter to express his opinion, deeming the boy’s talent useless in the current age and time. He went on to compare the teenager unfavorably to his peers in Asian countries, particularly China, who are actively engaged in building robots and other advanced technologies.

In his tweet, @XBrianDennis stated, “This is a useless talent. His mates are building robots in China. World don move to AI and Robotics, person do basket weaving una say make I retweet talent.”

The comment has sparked a debate on social media, with some users defending the teenage boy’s creativity and emphasizing the value of diverse talents. Others joined @XBrianDennis in highlighting the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics on a global scale.

The incident highlights the ongoing discourse surrounding the recognition and appreciation of various skills and talents in a world where technological advancements continue to redefine traditional notions of accomplishment and success.
