Alex Ephraims & His Locally Made Combatant Vehicle Spotted In Imo by CastedDude: 4:36am On Nov 23, 2017
The engineer, Alex Ephraims from Imo state who became an online sensation after constructing a 'made in Nigeria' combatant vehicle by using locally available materials - was recently spotted with his unique engine in Imo state. A Facebook user shared photos of the man explaining to his admirers the functions of the specially made vehicle as it attracted attention in the area

Ephraim was trained abroad and returned home to use his talents to impact the society positively. His workshop where he designs vehicles and builds them - is one of the few automated and mechanized ones in Owerri.

According to reports, this is Ephraim's third design....

Making a car entails making ones own engine.People should stop bringing pieces of metal together and call it building a car.

The vehicle looks like a moth.
One of the armoured vehicles IPOB were bragging about I guess.

Nothing captivating about it and nothing worth investing in.


His only hope to prominence has been extinguished.



They might appreciate his craft better in Mali and Somalia.

God:What do you want me to do for you?
Tony:I want to drive a big car with lots of girls in it..

My advice to him is simple,


VIO and FRSC officials won't call you a genius and will turn you to a literal combatant if they see this car.

Combatant?

The car is too low

The space between the two tyres is too far apart ,making the ride vulnerable to getting stuck

The tyres itself is whack, too small to be for combat

Aside the raised back, this could easily pass for an old model chevrolet

Etc

If we continue they will say we dey beef

Whereas we dey try inform others that might want to try it

1. The bottom is too low. On the average Nigerian (unpaved) road, it would easily get stuck.
2. Tyres should be better covered. This way, it would not be too hard to hit the tyre.
