Frederick Akphoghene is the founder of JéGO Technologies, Inc., a company that designs and manufactures autonomous vehicles including self-driving pods that can be used to transport goods and services. A Nigerian immigrant, Akpoghene started his career in tech at just 16-years-old.

JéGO pods have been approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and have garnered a number of partnerships including one with a Miami-based Urgent Care Clinic. Akpoghene is launching the pilot area in Miami with the Clinic, mapping out the Pods course and connecting app users with urgent care services.

This is indeed heartwarming.






Who taught Nigerians how to tap ?

Poster above is already tapping.

How do you tap talents or years of hardwork and personal sacrifices ?

Sometimes even tapping cars and people's houses undecided


Just curious !

Good, but until we start seeing people using the vehicles and how much he makes, before talking about been ahead of Tesla CEO.

You don't know the worth of Tesla, Tesla is responsible for the alternating current American uses today.

very true..but again, not absolute. Ezra Olubi and co are in Nigeria, schooled here and every. Most of those wey don go, how many don achieve Ezra feat? Or this guy feat? It is just not about living outside Nigeria it is about what you have in you. If you don't have it in you, you don't noni yen (sadly most Nigerians don't). That said, absolutely YES the opportunities were available to him there to fire that greatness, like I once agreed with my friend Countversailles, whom I disagree with on most things..lol. Shalom
