Billyonaire:
Very shameful.

Abbey2sam:


the budget is not tight ........With 4million naira , they can do better than than that


and it high time we stop encouraging coupling or assembling or whatever it is they call it.......

We need innovation
we need discovery
we need invention

Billyonaire:
Very shameful.

@OP, That's nice, really. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here. That is not a formula 1 car, or even any sort of race car. Also, we can already manufacture or assemble vehicles in Nigeria. In fact, cars are assembled and reassembled everyday by auto mechanics without university education. Its nice that these students were able to build their own chassis tho, and possibly other parts, especially with such a tight budget. If we could get the specifications of this car so that we can know exactly what was done, that would be e
ven better. More grease to their elbows!

But there is nothing here that shows that these guys are learned, anybody can do this without going to school. Just folding and cutting sheet metals, putting seat and fairly used engine into it means nothing brother. We need to learn and move away from this rubbish, this is not the 14th century. What development means is improving the available ones, like improving the fuel efficiency of the engine, improve the accelerating time, reducing weight of the car by developing light materials with higher weight to strength ratio, etc. Which car manufacturer in the world will want to invest into this? NONE. If you try this as a lecturer/research in China, India, japan, etc, you will surely be stoned to death no doubt.

SlimSkipper:
lets mind our choice of words he didnt build d car (definately not d engines) he only assembled it

exxell:
What is this bull-shyte? Abeg commot this thing for front page..... Just look at the crap that cost 4 million . Wonder of discrepancy between cost and value!

Nice one guys, that is why we are the giants of Africa. We lead others follow. kudos

Ferdinandu:
This is how dull you are . you don't even know the difference between 400,000 and 4,000,000 which a kindergarten baby knows. You people just wasted their money to send you to school. Zombie!!! SMH for your future.

Feraz:
Oho!!! Now, you're making reference to these countries. Nigerians and hypocrisy. These same set of people will rant China made/India made and will state how it is not on par with Western nations yet when it comes to what a Nigerian has made, the technologies they so condemn automatically becomes adorable. They forget that despite the low quality work done by these people, they were encouraged which made them what/where they are presently and turned into nations where different firms outsource their various productions.
There really is an inherent problem with us. For students with that budget (#400, 000), they tried taking into consideration the negative factors that abound here in this country. But as the usual crowd mentality that we all have, we condemn, they never bothered reading the article to see that it was #.4 million yet they come here to criticise and say how they can couple sheets of metals together and voila! the car is made. Tomorrow, they'll say Nigerian students are not creative enough, they don't read anymore when they can't see a simple figure up in the above article about these young undergraduates. We should keep wallowing in our hypocrisy.

I'm sure when we hear and see what team Uniben did in South Africa recently, we'd still condemn.

Mr. Easy when correcting people, because u noticed the point before the 4 does not mean everybody else will. Correct people intelligently pls. BTW it's still shameful that we're clamouring for this.
