Spiked Cylinder,
Is that a reflection of you etched in the picture?

I was about to say I liked the new turn of event the thread had taken because of your open declaration of attraction for Spikey's profile pix till I saw it How dare you talk about a lady like that

When U come with something as innovative as that, U should be willing to provide proof and also be ready to discuss technical details. If U dont want to go into all that much detail, then dont bother telling us about ur invention in the first place. What did U expect to get by putting up a pic like that. Just admiration, applause with no probing questions? Naaaaaaaaa, thats not the way Science and Technology works, my brother.

yeah, u ve said it all
@ poster
u need to come up with a concrete proof to show its ur handy-work. Besides, looking at the first pics vividly, its obvious it aint the same with the second one. I believe a snap shot with ur 'invention' would clear evry reasonable doubts here

@poster. . .  I only posted this to see people reaction, to help me make up my mind on something . . . I only try and will always apply my brain the best way I can, am not here t prove anything and I really have no apology, I was hopping for some level headed discourse, but is quite unfortunate.


I think this thread is not about bikes but the poster is merely trying to see people's reaction to something he is about releasing to the public. Nairaland is a convenient medium for this kind of survey since everybody is faceless. That's the reason it's in the politics section and not auto section and why there's so much suspense on more pictures. I think it's just to provoke further reactions. Otherwise, the whole thread does not make sense.

The poster deserves to be applauded for his efforts. I will explain why,  firstly he has taken the time and effort to construct that contraption which appears to be a prototype motorbike  which is no easy feat speaking from experience.

Considering that we was able to build it from bits show that he has a creative streak - how many nigerians or Africans can boast of inventing something ?. See this artice http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7881708.stm

Although the design of his prototytpe does not appear to  practical i.e. I doubt if it could be ridden because 1. The angle of the yoke to which the front wheel is attached looks wrong - such angle will require a very wide turning circle which makes it impractical for normal use on the roads. 2. The front dampers in the position they are do not serve any purpose
Despite these shortcomings it is still a good concept.

If the poster did indeed create this be it a toy or not its still a good start. In a country where people spend years to gain degrees in Engineering only to sit behind desks pushing pens this is  most welcome.


I do not believe he has to divulge details of his "alternative energy" souce for the time being, if he has indeed been able to achive this then my advice is to patent it first before spilling the beans.

Digiman:

The poster deserves to be applauded for his efforts.

I will put on applause robe when I am sure of the said contraption. Is that too much to ask for? I would even admire his creative and imaginative ability the more if I understand a little bit about the source and the technology driving his "alternate energy" claim. How can I applaud something I absolutely have no clue of? Its not as if I have seen one of his invention zooming past me on the street.

when TATA (indian car maker) came out to state that they had come up with the worlds cheapest car. (it cost $2500) they were still grilled as to what was cut out in the production process to make the price that minute. even without fully listening to the details, one could pick out a few things that could be done to reduce production time and on the long run reduce production cost. so why would someone expect me to eat this claim hook line and sinker without questioning every bit of it.

I don’t blame you for being disenchanted by the enemies of progress If you ask me, most Nigerians are full of codswollop and a whole load of apple sauce It is really unfortunate and such a shame And to think some of these people are our leaders of the future, no wonder we are where we are

Don't worry, your conscience is clear, keep your head up, your back to the wall, your best foot forward, your shoulder to the wheel, your nose to the grindstone, your eye on the ball and grit your teeth. Some good Nigerians still abound on this forum, you will just have to learn who to ignore

Wharrashame Instead of them to come out with logical argument and challenge the OP’s wind power/electric stance, anyhoo empty barrels make the loudest noise

LMAO, Another prey for the huntress to hunt.


All in good time

All is well that ends well My Igwe's been dethroned, and to be honest, all I was attracted to was the title So why not stake a claim on a potential Nobel Prizewinner Wish me luck And I don't want to see you on this thread again

@ OP

Don't mind them, as if it is by force to answer rude people with a chip on their brain

Lmao, and what happened to agaba and debosky?

Again? Don't be mad at me jare. The thread simply made no sense, no connection to politics.

I didn't know we were in 2009 already, my new year resolution is to be a one-man woman, so I have served Agaba divorce papers via email, and I only intend to stick to Debosky, but it is good once in a while for a woman to test if she still has it, hence my mission on this thread

I am only mad at you because I know you want a piece of the action too Get your grubby hands off him, I saw him first

Heatfusion carry go, no make me dey derail thread abeg

Thanks, lollllll

poster ure a foolish liar

roflmao! brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnt!

from NINETO FIVE
if his name was Olakunle would you and your kinsmen have behaved the way you did, is so typical of you guys, you are ugly inside and out.


Dear NINETO FIVE,
what as ethnicity got to do with the discussion. y must every issue be about where one is from. U must have so much hate in u. Any excuse to hate your fellow black brothers.  People like u keep the black race down by creating hate and anger which I am sure will be passed onto ur kids.

We complain of racism in the western world but the hate that people like u show towards ur fellow black brothers is far worst. If a white person made a statement about black people like u did about Yoruba people, I am sure u will be screaming and shouting racist bastard.

Hate is like a cancer, when it eats too deep it kills the soul and the humanity in us.  There is nothing uglier than hate. Lets embrace the Obama spirit of love and unity. No Ibo, Yoruba or Hausa just a united black race and one human race. Let in "love" brother. Remove that hate inside u, if u let it spread too much it will only destroy u. Put a stop to your ethnic hatred.

When a Nigerian or a fellow black does well regardless of where they are from, most of us are proud of that person. That is the reality. But we have a right to question people when they make a claim that is not backed up by hard facts.
love always
Bless

@finally
Thanks for the post finally, can u please tell NINETOFIVE. He thinks if the guy`s  name was Olakunle must people on this thread will just accept  the story, no question asked. The only person to turn the story into another nairaland ethnic bashing.

i personally think its criminal for someone to just put a picture of something and claim he did it with his bare hands without giving us some sort of insight into how he came about it.

Yes, you do not need to give us full details, but what makes anything special and worth accolades is the ingenuity in the way and manner the person achieved this exceptional contraption.

Creating a bike is not an invention, but when you claim it runs on grease, batteries,wind and God knows what, it is of necessity that it is followed with some explanation, or questions will be asked, which are being asked here.

Even just to stand beside it or place it beside something we can scale it with seems to be a problem for you.

I suggest you take that picture off this forum if you are not ready to atleast let us scale your invention, or is that also going to affect your patent right

I will be amongst those that would congratulate you if you can give us some reasonable explanation into your invention.

As it stands now, you can ride your bike in your bedroom @ 160km/ph for all i care.

@ Okunoba,

If you are being Ironically sarcastic or just playing 'figure of speeches' in your statement, then its fine, but if you mean castigating the poster was ethnically nepotic, then I must say you ARE BLIND INSIDE-OUT.

I have taken time to go through most comments on the issue and ii see nothin Racist or Nepotic in THEM. All what the other posters have commented on does not show any sign of favourism or abhorrence for any section of the Nigerian People.

Dont stir up rifts where there is non pl.

Spiked Cylinder,
Is that a reflection of you etched in the picture?

Lol! Yes it is, quite sexy innit?

@ busy body, Dont't mind the oga o, he really loves my silhouette.

Oh heat fusion, hush already about this thread and its relation to politics! You, queen of off topic okpata!

@ poster

U try my guy, dont mind all these haters!

@basking4time,
. I was talking to NINETOFIVE who said Yoruba people are ugly inside and out just because most people on this thread questioned the validity of the hand made bike story.

Okunoba,

I am deeply sorry for the wrong insinuations then.

Please acknowledge my Apology.

@basking4time
Thanks

I've taken time to read very post concerning this "hand made bike' and i'm really glad i did. Most posts were really funny, but serious questions were asked and no credible answer has come from the poster.
Sad.
well, if he has succeeded in locally building a bike that runs on battery, its nice but old news.
China has done that years ago and believe me the maximum speed is 80km per hour. and the battery life is 5 to 6 hours at a stretch.
most people who use it here (china) plug it in once they get to work. Most dont even use it.
If an average Naija man/ woman were to mount it, i swear, na only am go dey there(we heavy)
one naija man is equals to 3 chinese people in weight.
My brother, i aint an engineer but by looking at the front wheel of that bike, it wont carry a man of 90kg without falling apart, so, its a toy.
but congrats on that(if he actually built it) e no easy

I believe that that discussion was already over with. But thanks anywaz, your opinion has now been rewarded with attention.

Now, back to topic.

Eze, you introduced this topic with a picture and then you could not support your claims with more pictures; if I ever did a thing like you are claiming you did, I would take a million pictures, post thousands of them to put my critics to shame. If you have another picture, show it now or keep your mouth shut forever concerning your fake claims

thats really nice!!
