EgunMogaji:


Of course he's lying.

And that's not a tractor of any capacity. A FWD tractor? A tractor with no visible PTO unit?

Back to the drawing board.

UK-trained Nigerian Engineer, Timothy Addigi Builds A 100% Nigerian Tractor


UK-trained Nigerian engineer Timothy Addigi Terfa is getting ready to launch a Nigerian-built tractor. Mr Terfa said: "I designed and built this tractor, which is 100% Nigerian, with a team of skilled individuals." He has called the tractor Ijodo, meaning labour in the Tiv language. See one more photo...

Wow..that's awesome...

Standing5:
I pity you. The difference btw what y call contraption and this is the advancement in tech in the society they were built. the naija based guys may not have solid 3d printer and labs to help produce stunning prototypes bodies but theirs function very well like u any other

jbichene:
na wa ooo "Nigerian Engineers" , we never trust our own

tdayof:


No am not good with that dictionary definition. He won't get any patent for that as an invention.

pippimp:


It is for the the guy who pimped the ride to tell you. Don't take my word for it. Research the definition of a tractor and see. Would be comfortable with someone calling a bicycle a car?

kingreign:


Bros, no make me vex this morning. Since you're praising them, oya answer this simple prayer


May God design your life just as those engineering students of Nigeria designed those 'cars'. Oya say amen.

princetom1:


Its only Nigerian students prototypes u see at international competitions looking like rotten tomatoes. Our level has gone down so much we are about to start producing toothpick. I will never claim a profession if i cant stand on my own. 0rex, i dey feel u o

princechiemekam:
This is great. ...nice work buddy

Rossikk:


Nonsense. Our engineering graduates in this Nigeria can build that thing - IF they want to, and have the ambition. It's not technically beyond them at all. INNOSON did not even attend university at all, yet he manufactures cars, SUVs, buses, and trucks!

rhektor:


Cry baby, why don't you upload the pix of the tractor that you built

kingreign:
Cool, unlike the contraptions built by most Nigerian trained engineers which they termed as 'cars'.

pippimp:


That is not a tractor. A tractor has large rear wheels by definition.

UuzbaGuuzba:


A Tracktor is any vehicle that can drive over muddy, marshy terrain, (The Farm) and help you move stock, tools, or ploughing.
If it were possible for it to fly in the air, it will still be a tractor.
The large wheels just prevent it from sinking in the marshy soil. They can be either front, back, left or right. Provided it does not sink
marshy soil

This is just an innovative take on the concept.

Nothing is cast in stone.

patrickkkk:


Na only definition you sabi!!!!!!

slimfit1:


What are you talking about I think he is there already he has done the difficult part the rest his very easy. I respect his way of thinking very different from those idiots in lagos universities making nonsense called a car.

Burgerlomo:


I hope the polithiefcian can do it, but instead they preferred to invest in women's bore hole.

pippimp:


A Ford truck can do the same thing. Based on your definition.

kingreign:


Hey dude no make me vex, we get electrical engineers yet they can't fix a simple light bulb, we have PHd Mech engrs, yet they can't drain and fill up engine oil, we have civil engrs and structural engrs, yet no sky scraper, just a common bungalow and its collapse news we have always, a computer engineer, we never see conputer robot programme yet, na Engineering by theory not engineering by practicals na wetin dem sabi. Bros no make me vex.

UuzbaGuuzba:


I pity the fool who would use a Ford Truck on a muddy farm.

A tractor is purpose-built. Hard wearing part, diesel, low maintenance.

But if you'd like to buy a Ford truck and use it to plough a field normally done by Asses, be my guest. Try the F350

pippimp:


Which is why tractors have large rear wheels. Nigerians don't know how to define or categorize things. That was how someone said he invented a gas powered pressing iron forgetting that the product has always been in existence.

UuzbaGuuzba:
You can't kill me until I agree to die. What are these ones then?

If you like hide under bed. Cane for you. Oya Answer!

pippimp:


Plus, if you look at the track tractors, you'll see that the rear track is larger than the forward track. It has to be that way for traction. Stop googling.

UuzbaGuuzba:


What is the problem with people that answer your name?
If the Nigerian guy had designed EXACTLY the one you expect to see, Big rear wheels, You personally, would blast him by saying, "There's nothing there jor. Nothing Special. Oyibo have already done that. Infact, he just imported a tractor"

Now, Guy has made the front wheels bigger and still called it TRACTOR. Allow Guy take credit na?! E easy? For this hard Buhari Nigeria...

Hian!!?

pippimp:


Yes. Call it whatever you like. So that one day when Normal people want to execute a job that requires a tractor you too will say you have one too and then be confused about why the "tractor" doesn't do what other tractors do. Left to you, you will call a bus a car. They both transport people, right? Or a fighter jet a kite. They both fly right? Smh.

UuzbaGuuzba:


Dear, let me lay out my own take on this issue. I don't personally know this Engineer guy. But I am a Design Engineer as well. I also did an Engineering Course in the UK. So I know them inside out. Forget all the chitta-chatter here on NL. I just hide my identity and play dumb.

There is very little room left in the real world for any sort of innovation. There a patents to be crossed. As a Nigerian, there is next to Nothing that you can design/create that the western world have not done. I read their research work in their own University Library and I was scared. The things their students have designed, that are just waiting to be produced. I'm sorry, if you picked up any design book and followed all the principles of design A-Z, 99% of what you think is YOUR innovation, the white man has ALREADY (f***ing) done it.

We are at least 100 years Behind in any direction you choose to look at it.

This guy making an ass backward tractor, is at the end of the run. There is nowhere else for him to go. But to just attempt this RIDICULOUS design. Ridiculous is the keyword in vehicle design. NORMAL has been in existence for so long that the whole world is BORED.

Give dude some credit. He tried.

You know very well, what our government will do. They well open the borders of Nigeria like a LovePeddler opens herself to any man import Any and Everything. Including tractors. They will Kill this guy's innovation and Plan for mass production (AKA Money), before he even gives birth to it.
