If Cars Are Designed In Nigeria, The Features! by wikkileaks: 9:30am On Nov 05, 2016
Good morning fellow Nairalanders, lately, I was just imagining if the different cars we use today are designed in Nigeria. I know Nigerians and how they think.Here are some features I think will be added and not be added:

(1) The cars will have no windscreen.
(2) I know a typical Nigerian engineer will not even think of a trafficator.
(3) Just imagining if car tires are made in Aba.
(4) A typical Nigerian car designer will install a device to make cars have accident so that you can buy a new one.
(5) Air condition will be the last thing a Nigerian will install in a vehicle.

Just my opinion. You are free to add yours.

Gifted Indeed! That is why our electrical engineering students in Nigeria cant even make an ordinary bulb after years of extensive studying in our universities.

Bross, I dont need to mention names because we all know our bulbs are imported from china. Even ordinary matches are imported from India and Indonesia. We should ask our chemical engineering graduates for answers. The only graduates performing in Nigeria are the doctors, accountants and lawyers. I think we can all see for ourselves.

When you want to argue and abuse Nigerian graduates, make sure you do your research well and can defend your statement.

Nigerian graduates know how to manufacture things and how they work, the question is why don't they do it?

Answer
1. Most manufacturing phase requires machines which cannot easily be fabricated or don't have a local substitute
2. Standard. Using unethical ways will defeat the purpose, nobody will buy a substandard product. Reason why second hand cloths have more quality than new ones made in Nigeria
3. Cost of production. Cost of doing business in Nigeria is expensive, manufacturing, transporting, marketing, tax etc. When there is no cost effective way of producing a product, it's better to leave it in the region where it's cheaper. That the reason we don't grow beans in South West, you have to protect against weed, insects and pest also labor isn't cheap so it's cost effective to grow up north.
4. Government policy. That's one of the major problem this Nigerian economy is facing.

There are other factors but let's wait stop here

The Nigerian that would design a car with these nonsense amenities you wrote up there is you.
If at your age you can't differentiate btw trafficator and trafficator.

Change your thinking perspective and try make yourself useful pls
