Armoured Vehicles Manufactured By 2 Brothers In Ekiti State. Throwback Pictures

Armoured vehicles manufactured by two brothers in Ekiti state for the usage of their father and for the police. Nigerians indeed have the talent and with home front focus we will get there

Obasa Specialty Vehicle (OSV), located in Ijero-Ekiti, Ekiti State, has unveiled an all-terrain vehicle named Tekowi.

The vehicle, the company said, was manufactured at its factory in Ijero-Ekiti, Ekiti State.

The company was commissioned on December 5, 1980 by the late High Chief Joe Oluware Obasa, a car distributor for Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN). The company was upgraded to manufacture special vehicles for security personnel and civilian uses by his two sons High Chief Johnson Obasa and Victor Obasa.



Speaking at the unveiling, High Chief Obasa said Tekowi was coined from “te oko wi,” an Ekiti local dialect which means sandals or boots that farmers and hunters wear regularly to the bush to stamp on anything. He also said that Tekowi is a combination of ruggedness and luxury.

According to Victor, Tekowi’s unique design features four-wheel drive, high ground clearance, Custom interior tailored to customer specification, Stereo system integrated with latest technology, Diamond floor plate flooring, reinforced steel structure, double utility storage, engine air scoop and name branding option.

He said Tekowi is hand crafted with simple tools and locally sourced materials. The Owa Ajero of Ijero Kingdom Ekiti, Oba Adebayo Adewole, said the development that OSV has brought to the Ijero Ekiti community will go a long way to encourage his people and create a lot of opportunities.

Wahoo. Nigerians are talented but there is no enabling environment for the manifestation of talents.

Imagine this laudable and monumental project by these hardworking Nigerians.
There is no gainsaying in the fact that we have many talented inventors in Nigeria but there is no supporting foundation to rest on.

Buhari would rather support Miyetti Allah by empowering them with more cows than to support this type of creativity.

Kudos to them!!!! I always say that there is an abundance of talents in this country.


The problem we have are the political elites who have sworn to continually suppress the masses.

Imagine where an uneducated person is being paid billions...all in the name of politics.
