hehehe , you actually think I ll PM you .... same way you dont know those guys or what they can do if they have the necessary resources ... oga you almost I just realised you may never want any development because you will stop making your money .... like one dude said he understands your frustration , I dont tho because this is the first time am havin a debate with you. .... empty vessels makes the most noise.

It doesn't matter if you intend to PM me or not as you willingly wrote but I will not be accepting your PM as stated so please don't.

I just have a simple request, is it possible for you to regain your composure and write legibly so we can understand you?

I don't do gibberish or grunts.

PS: How's your data level? Make sure that you stock up from Iya Sikira MTN shack cause I intend to help you deplete it grin

As final yr engineering students a level of innovativeness to produce cars that generate energy from non fossil fuel sources is expected from eg solar, hydrodynamics, hydro, magnetic etc. remember those sec schl students who generated electricity from human urine? Thatb
is what is expected from these guys

yes. A reflection of the society you live in. All thanks to your politicians in power.
You don't expect them to build one similar to that of a student in Britain or South Korea.
Did you read a report celebrated on CNN some couple of days ago how a Liberian nursing students saved three relatives from the Ebola sickness by using crude method, making gloves and hazardous materials suit from trash bags.
She had to make use of what was available. Americans were asking their government to bring her to US on scholarship.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/25/health/ebola-fatu-family/

That is ingenuity. The intellectual capability is most important and it's a strong indicator of intelligence. These students if placed in higher institution in developed countries would excel and create a better project.
sadly , some liberians may have avoided her , callin her foolish like one dude said and waiting for ppe's from america . they may claim also that they are no longer in the stone age .

I'm not even remotely against the project; I'm worried that at this stage of our development, a contraption like this is still celebrated by a federal university!

sai , energy is not the reason behind the depletion of ozone layer . the unused product or less ecnomically viable end of the coversion is what causes green house effect .... do you understand now.

I know what you were talking about but what made me make such a statement is because of what u said about wasted energy been useful to the ecological system since this energy is referred to heat energy plus carbon emissions. But what I dont get or more like what I would like to know is how can this wasted energy be useful to the ecological system.

it is not energy that is being wasted , it is its less economical viable product from its conversion from one form to another that may cause harm . now let me explain how by products from conversions may be useful to the eco system and not humans directly......the light energy from the sun is used by plants tho not necessarily useful to all human race as it concerns solar energy .... the by product carbon we talking is needed by plants for photosynthesis . if humans do not exhale co2 dont you think emmission of co2 from vehicles would have supplemented . we have excess carbon because humans already are a co2 contributor and with more deforestation we have lesser plants to make use of them . now are you aware there are plants that live 1000 metres below sea level , lighht cannot get to that level ... hence those plant dont photosynthesize ... do you know how they live? they live on dissolved oxygen which come as a by product from photosynthesis which is a form of energy conversion..... this is a product that may be regarded as not physically useful to man but useful to the eco system.

1) I am not a lecturer and it is not my place to lecture allegedly university engineering students.

I know where you are coming from though since Nigerians provide their own water, electricity, etc absolutely social services have completely failed. You're a victim of your environment.

I'm a nigerian like you all.But atimes you guys make me sick to the stomach.Remember CHINA?the once backwards mammoth.Even we nigerians use to laugh at them and make derisive statements against them.Mocking their technology and products,but look at them now.they are currently the biggest economy in the world......u guys want us to start making super cars overnight?without passing through developemental stages......the key word here is "POTENTIAL".we have that in abundance.All we ever need is an enabling environment nd good govt.policies that are well implemented.just like what Deng Xiaoping did for the Chinese.....let us not laugh at ourselves,let us not look down on ourselves.....Rather Let's begin to see all these little developments as manifestations of our can do spirit and begin to develop and harness it.. If these guys can do this thing in our chaotic university environment,imagine what they will achieve if backed up by research funds,research facility and competent mentors.

Sorry but I don't visit links just anyhow.

If it's something intelligent then make a thread.

To all asylum seekers let me apologize on behalf of decent citizens of Nairaland. There's no shame in escaping from whatever it is than drove you away from you homeland. This isn't fodder for forum jokes but this person has repeatedly shown his lack of tact.

So what does my status in a foreign land have to do with this shyte that was trust upon my eyes?

I don't understand what the debate is all about.

The project was a collosal waste of effort and resources.

If it were to be from Introductory Technology junior High students, I can understand.

But engineering students put four tires on a Keke, used Ragolis water container for a gas tank, and covered the crap with some pieces of metal put together by an imbe.cile and we are supposed to go gaga in jubilation.It is kind of stuff you see in the ghetto where kids whose parents cannot afford toys improvise to build something that would be used in a playground.

As a project, I score it an "F" because there is nothing original nor extraordinary about it. There was one olodo that put solar panels on a beat up junk VW beetle and called it a solar car. There was another one that built what he called a submarine in Lagos. Yeah! Suicide submarine for sure.

Stuff like this must be condemned so that those students will learn to use their brain next time and not freaking cut and join dumb shi.t like this. This is an embarrassment to UNIZIK's College of Engineering.
Then again, it is Nigeria where anomalies are fully integrated into the culture.

This should be moved to Jokes section. SMH.

Amazing: Unizik Students Produce Race Car

Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka has recorded yet another landmark breakthrough recently when five of her students produced a formula 1 car.

The students, from the department of mechanical Engineering produced the race car as their project.

The names of the student engineers include
*Okoyenta Augustus,
*Okeke Chukwuebuka,
*Ofoegbu Kenechukwu,
*Ibekwe Ebeneezer and
*Ezeani Chikeluba.

According to the initiator of the project, Okoyenta Augustus, the materials for the car were locally sourced and it took them two years to put in place. The cost of the project still according to him was about .4 million naira, though with the support of the department.

The students drove the car last tuesday to the administrative block to showcase the novel achievement to the vice chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku and the university community. Long Live the #‎UNIZIK5‬. Long Live Department of Mechanical Engineering. *Long Live Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka
