A waste of time & energy. If you are gifted, why not create something that can solve some local problems. Like cassava peeler, egusi dehusker, weed mower, yam pounder, electricity generator .. etc You make a toy car & asking for assistance. Why not go and ask Coscharis or Innoson?? 1 Like |

The dude would be good at designing miniaturised (blueprint) cars for car manufacturing companies. He should find himself out of the country to study auto related engineering. |

[quote author=Zeze06 post=59348047]Please, look for your family land and sell, get some money and move yourself to Korea or US where you may have a chance to survive... Nigeria will kill your talent and if you are not lucky, kill you and I bet u that's not the worst that can happen... [/quoteThis is how government of Nigeria killed the dreams of Dr.Ezekiel Izuogu through their strategic policy of hate syndrome. Dr.Ezekiel Izuogu: How the Izubogu Z-600 dream was destroyed by Nigerian government simple because he is an Igbo man. In 1997, a brilliant Igbo Electrical Engineer and Lecturer at the Federal polytechnic Nekede, Dr. Ezekiel Izuogu designed and developed the Izuogu Z-600, the first African indigenous manufactured car. The car was described by the BBC as 'the African dream machine' as 90% of its parts were sourced locally. At a projected sales cost of $2000 dollars, it would have taken the world by storm and become the cheapest and most affordable car on earth. With mass production planned under Izuogu Motors plant in Naze owerri, the prospects of an industrial revolution in Igbo land and Nigeria, was in the making. The car was equipped with self made 1.8L four cylinder engine that got 18mpg and allowed the car to achieve a top speed of 140 km/h. Front Wheel Drive (RWD) because a transmission tunnel, which RWD would require, would be more expensive to fabricate. So 90% of the car's components were made locally. Late General Sani Abacha set up a 12 man panel of inquiry made of professionals to ascertain the road worthiness and authenticity of the car and after several days of probing, the committee gave Dr. Izuogu's car s clean bill of health recommending that some of the bumps on the body of the car be smoothened. It is worthy to note that this was five years before India build their first car known as the Indi. At a well organized unveiling ceremony which Late General Abacha represented by Oladipo Diya, over 20 foreign ambassadors and thousand of people in attendance, the Federal government promised a grant of 235 million naira to Dr.Izuogu. An excited Dr. Izuogu is still waiting for that grant till today. No dime was released to him. In 2006, the government of South African invited Dr.Izuogu to do a presentation about the car in the presence of several world class engineers. Being impressed with his presentation, they invited him to come and set up a plant in South Africa and begin the production of the car. Dr. Izuogu reluctantly agreed, though he wasn't happy that the benefits of employment generation will be lost on the locals of Naze and the Nigerian human resources environment. On Saturday the 11th of March 2006, at about 2:00am, a total of about 12 heavily armed men broke into Dr.Izuogu's factory in Naze and carted away various machines and tools including the design history notebook of Z-600, the design file Z-MASS, containing the design history for mass production of Z-600 car, and the moulds for various parts of the car; According to Dr.Izuogu: "It seems that the target of this robbery is to stop the efforts we are making to mass-produce the first ever locally made car in Africa. Other items stolen included locally produced timing wheel, locally produced camshaft, locally produced crankshaft, locally produced engine tappets, all 20 pieces each. Also stolen were ten pieces of locally produced Z-600 engine blocks, Ten pieces of the locally produced pistons, four pieces of engine block mounds, four of top engine block moulds, ten pieces of engine fly wheel and two pieces each of ear car and front mudguard moulds. 'The inventor regretted that not only did they lose over one N1 billion in monetary terms, but also times (about 10 years) and the energy it took to design and produces the moulds. "To worsen the matter, our design notebook was also stolen", he stated. He regarded the incident as a national economic disaster because the nation had lost a technological and intellectual property. The setback and governments attitude frustrated Izuogu and his dream died.] 1 Like |

Seriously I strongly think we should stop this our habit of discouragement, One of our own just manufactured a lovely Car, at least d least we can do is to encourage him instead of discouraging him and other upcoming engineers who might want to get into the system as well.
