Commercial tricycles more popularly referred to in Nigeria as Keke NAPEP, have become a major means of commute in Nigeria.

Across most cities in Nigeria, conspicuous sights of Keke NAPEP abound.

They are typically used to cover short distances as opposed to bigger commercial buses that can travel further.

Indeed, Keke NAPEP don’t come cheap.

To own one, you would have to cough out a sizable amount. Their prices range from between N500, oo0 to N650, 000

Few commercial drivers can afford them. Some drivers, in order to own one, work for it on hire purchase – a system where they ride one for a given period of time, pay the owner, and then they are handed possession of the tricycle.

Perhaps, the high cost of acquiring a Keke NAPEP is tied to the fact that they are predominately imported from India and other Asian countries.

This is one reason why we ought to look inward.



In recent times,  we have come  to behold tricycles manufactured in Nigeria. Some of them come with some interesting innovations. For instance, some come fitted with doors – unlike the imported variants. Some come with electric fan and good ventilation. Some are made to take three to six passengers at a time. A particular one is powered by electricity – yes, our very own Tesla!

Indeed, these could all be classed as the luxury version of the Keke NAPEP.

So, why are we not investing in or patronizing our locally-made tricycles?

Wow

Igbos and innovations

igbo Amaka!!

Great job but to satisfy my curiosity, is it made in Nigeria as in 100% made in Nigeria (every single part locally fabricated) or assembled in Nigeria (by way of importing CKD-complete knock down)? If 100% made in Nigeria, then a BIG congratulations and if assembled, then keep it up, there is always a starting point. Nigeria will definitely be great again.

Afonjas won't create anything oo, but will be killing and mining the skull of Innocent IPOB youths

Good one. We will get there someday.

LIES!!

They were not MADE IN NIGERIA.


Rather, THEY WERE ASSEMBLED IN NIGERIA!!

The best they can do is Fabricate the CHASSIS. Every other thing was imported (Check Alibaba.com).


Stop Falling for this Hypocritical Regional Recognition Gimmick.

Quote me without facts and DIE FOUR (4) NIGHTS FROM TODAY.

Ok

Nice,just that I prefer Keke without doors.... don't know why

Afonjjjjjj

Instead of Travelling Ban on politicians.

Let them ban d importation of tricycles and encourage local production.

D locally made producers understand d Nigeria market as well as will produce to suit Nigerians.

As against mass producing conventionally to whom it may concern

Ok


Seen it


The return of Juliusmalema.

Wow,this is really cool .

You mean "Assembled In Nigeria Keke"

Great improvement.

We'll get there!

I'm more interested in the percentage local content of the mechanical components especially the engine and drive assembly.

The FG needs to invest in this guys . Build factories and make sure their products becomes standardized. This can make us compete with other countries. But No they won't do it

This is too elaborate na.. Shuu.. Na Keke no be luxury vehicle

Wow, confirmed..

New development for us, more to come only if ATIKUOBI is elected as President in 2019.

God bless Nigeria
God bless PDP

Even China grew by copy copy

Would have been more convincing if the Author calls it ''made in China and assembled in Nigeria Keke Napepe''

Anyway, good try

This is nice.
God bless Nigeria.

Are they durable?

I don't support anything that depicts poverty.so for me thumps down

First picture - BEAUTIFUL

Buhari is useless vagabond

Keke NAPEP with doors is a no no for me, I need to be able to jump out incase the journey goes sour and secondly the breeze wey dey blow person if you sit down with driver for front is second to none. Nice work though
