Nigerian boy invented a locally made ATM that dispenses cash

A little boy has displayed his creativity by building an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) that dispenses cash.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, the boy, who hails from Imo state, showed onlookers how the ATM dispenses cash. The boy could be seeing inserting something that looks like an ATM card into the machine and onlookers were stunned as the machine dispensed cash.

It is still unclear what he used in ‘manufacturing’ the handmade Automated Teller Machine but one thing noticeable about his craft is the fact that it shares several similarities with an actual ATM – It has lights, uses an ATM card and also dispenses cash when some buttons are pressed.
