You must still be recovering from the disgrace Philip Emegwali suffered no wonder you're hell bent on discrediting Aliyu.

You will logout, and the world will continue to celebrate Aliyu Jelani (MFR) for his intellectual excellence.

Go and find a job, you're disgracing yourself.

P.S Wikipedia is an editable source and not accepted as reference anywhere. Blame your ignorance.

This is how one Malo told me that he was no longer serving suya, only to turn around and serve to one yellow baby that was cued after me.

Jelani Aliyu is a fraud

Stop exposing your ignorance.

Do you understand that DIRECTORS DO NOT DESIGN CARS?

Designers do and that is why Jelani Aliyu, the Senior Creative Designer is credited with designing the Chevy Volt.

Meet members of the Chevy Volt design team

Don't be silly. The blog you posted is for celebrating people from Ohio doing their hometown proud. It DOES NOT say Aliyu is not the Designer. Only 3 members of the team were listed because they were from Ohio. Cleveland is the capital of Ohio.

MOTORTrends America revealed the full list.

Jelani Aliyu, hails from Sokoto State, Nigeria and is General Motors Lead Exterior Designer and the designer of the Chevy Volt. General Motors is the world’s largest automobile maker. The car has been described as an American Revolution and one of the hottest concepts in the design line.

Jelani was born in 1966 in Kaduna, to Alhaji Aliya Haidara and Sharifiya Hauwa’u Aliyu. The fifth of seven children, theirs is a very close-knit family. For him, it was an amazing experience growing up in Sokoto, surrounded by the rich culture of the people and the state and enjoying excellent access to the latest and international information.

From 1971 to 1978, he attended Capital School, Sokoto, an excellent school and this served as a very productive educational experience for him. In 1978, he gained admission into Federal Government College, Sokoto, from where he graduated in 1983 with an award as the best in Technical Drawing.

Jelani was privileged to meet and make many good friends from all parts of the country and beyond during this time. He had tremendous encouragement and mentoring from his family and friends and his creative art develop the ed. He drew a lot, designed his own cars, and even built scale models of them, complete with exteriors and interiors.

After FGC, he got admission into the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria to study Architecture, but soon discovered that curriculum did not support his future vision and plans.

After considering other institutions in Nigeria and their academic programmes, he concluded that only one of them had the study criteria that would support his future goals. The institution in which he chose to pursue his education was one he felt offered the best creative programmes and had experience that would give him the best foundation required to study Automobile Design abroad. That institution was the Birnin Kebbi Polytechnic. He was there from 1986 to 1988 and earned an associate degree in Architecture, with an award as Best All-Round Student. While there, he did some in depth research into home design and construction, looking into materials and structures that would be most compatible with our environment and climate; buildings that would stay cool in a hot environment with little, or no artificial electrical air conditioning. Upon graduation from the polytechnic, Jelani worked for a while at the Ministry of Works, Sokoto.

In 1990, Aliyu moved to Detroit, Michigan to enroll at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit under a Sokoto Schorlarship board sponsorship. Having always wanted to study Automobile Design, this was a dream come true and an absolutely fascinating experience. The course was very practical and emphasis was put on creativity and the development of new designs to provide solutions . He received his degree in automobile design in 1994.

In 1994 he began his career with the design staff of General Motors. He worked on the Buick Rendezvous and was the lead exterior designer of the Pontiac G6. He also worked on the Astra with General Motors’ Opel Division.

With his brilliant work on the design of the Chevrolet Volt, which was unveiled in 2007, Jelani Aliyu is considered by many to be the super star of the General Motors renaissance.

Common Sense 101 = Directors/Managers do not design cars. He was the highest in the design team as Senior Creative Designer.

In your haste to debunk the globally celebrated H/F son Aliyu, you failed to engage your brain or whats left of it apparently.

Jelani Aliyu honoured with Member of the Federal Republic (MFR) by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

EUROBOMBER:
While the achievement of that Fulani man is highly commendable, I don't think you should have brought him into this thread. This thread was opened to celebrate what a roadside mechanic did and nothing stops you from opening your own thread to showcase what your Fulani brothers have done even if they have developed nuclear weapons. Allow people to celebrate the little this roadside mechanic has done. You should have just said "Well Done" like a Tinuolababy for instance.

What you just did is to start a tribal war, this is how the fighting usually starts on nairaland. You have successfully change the direction of the thread.

I apologized to the OP, the celebration of mediocrity was nauseating.

Lovesdaisied:
Direct your advice to yourself first and never address me in any fulani-esque tribalist manner ever again. Bastard.

Else I will engage you by showing how you are part of the most worthless group in Nigeria, for all your blue-blooded bragging.

You're my estate and I will speak to you as I please you son of conquered vagabonds. Stay on your cursed barren land or you will continue to be reminded of how useless and hopeless you are in this country. Shameless wandering son of a gang raped biafran bit'ch.

Lovesdaisied:
All of this peverted, Fulani-esque, violent sex talk does not take away from the fact that despite all of the tribulations we go through, the average Igbo man is better off than the average Fulani, whether in the SE or outside the SE. Statistics from all recognized bodies point to this fact, you ignorant buffoon.

Leave Igbos, good or bad to sort themselves out while they engage in constant economic warfare resulting from being stuck in this foolish and stupid union. Yes, our struggle post-Biafra is real, but we will continue to overcome with time.

Unlike your shameless, violent, pedophilic and morally empty people who have NOTHING to show for their ruling Nigeria and killing the original natives day in and out. Nothing despite comprising the ruling class of Nigeria. What a shame!

I would love to say bye to this stinking arse thread, but your perverted self keeps spamming my mentions, maybe to get my attention, I don't know.

You're beginning to sound sane so I think my work here is done. In the future pick your fights wisely, not that your genetic urge to act before thinking considering the millions of lives that were wasted to such foolishness from the empty chest beaters plagued with the Igbo curse.

Lovesdaisied:
Fulani rule that will cripple and destroy the country as usual. The list of Northern presidents that ran the country to the ground from the 70's till date make your assertions a laughable joke, especially to cynics that are observing this fundamentally sick and evil nation implode.

Fulani rule. Lmao! Fulani rule that has the core Northwest and Northeast as the poorest regions in the nation.

Fulani rule! Keep ruling till you go extinct from debilitating poverty and ignorance. Love it!

I heard that Bubu is going to dash your people N5k every month. Maybe that can extend the short lifespan destined for your impoverished folks.

Inept cow brains!

Lol I thought you said bye, you're so simple minded and you're getting boring with your poverty tripe when the eroded slum called Igbo land is filled with impoverished cannibals and granny rapists . The life span of the culturally criminally minded Igbos is shorter than anyone else in this country as they're being kidnapped, shot, hanged and murdered on a daily basis. Just today, your pig brained brothers drug package exploded in his guts, ending his terrible existence as a conquered inconsequential fourth class citizen of his country and the world.

Even Indonesians are sick of your backward and criminal tribe. The worst thing is you lack enough land and development to stay in your own cursed neck of the woods. I'm typing this with one hand while half asleep yet the more I want to ignore you, the more I realize you need a reality check.

It sucks to be Igbo.

Lovesdaisied:
Pained for wetin? I just love reminding you of what a killing-prone failure your people are.

Bye!

And I love to remind you of your conquered status and how your ancestors foolishly thought they could dare our patience.

Run along now, you will still wake up under fulani rule in the morning and will continue to whine and wail about the domineering fulani that have relegated you to fourth class citizens in a country you lack the power to lead ... what a pathetic way to live.

It sucks to be you.

Lovesdaisied:
You dare talk about rape, you expansionist bastard?

The scores of attacks and rapes of native women of all ages, including little girls and old women are the stuff of legend among Fulani Herdsmen.

Look at how he tries to attach crimes committed by virtually all groups on Igbos again. At least, however good or bad, we were trying to survive as an aftermath of a brutal war/genocide that your sick, degenerate arse gloats about till this day. Violence prone pervert who probably Jacks off to images of starving Biafran children as porn.

Pedophilic creep!

What excuse does your backward, idiotic tribe have? Your elite forms much of Nigeria's ruling class! Your Emirs preside over Hausa and Yoruba masses in traditional courts, and your tribe is STILL well known for its glaring poverty, violence, and backwardness the scale of Rwandan Hutus on a killing rampage.

Big shame and disgrace! For the Igbo man's trials and tribulations he is still better off than the average Fulani.

Backwardness and savagry defined!

Dangote is Hausa! Get out of here with your blog link!

Wow you are really pained, see the way I unwound you and I'm flying you like a kite ...

Hit me up when you have a point to make, foolish conquered product of an owerri baby factory.

Lovesdaisied:
Here he goes again like the foolish, idiotic loopy eyed frog that he is. Bla bla bla I'm so superior bla bla bla Igbo Cannibals bla bla bla. Racist, Ethnicist fool!

Most Nigerians were considered "cannibals" according to racist propaganda and literature:

https://www.nairaland.com/1866842/igbos-really-only-historical-cannibals

You go as far as tagging Igbos only as cannibals because they, more than other mentally enslaved Nigerians, know how much of a bullsh*t tribe you come from! Fuladolt.

Again, you are an idi..ot! Who doesn't know that the EZU river extra-judicial killings were orchestrated by policemen, most of whom are from the North?

KILLER!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Fulani! Direct your angst to the multitudes of starving, poverty stricken fulanis dying of hunger and preventable diseases in the North while marrying off their pre-teen daughters to lecherous old islamists. I remember my Fulani girl playmates who were forced to marry men old enough to be their fathers while I was promoted to JSS2.

Sick culture that will refuse to evolve with the times because...ooooh..."we are blue-blooded fulanis"

Hate-filled delusional fu**cks.

Coming from a defeated ignorant scum, product of a granny raping, ritualistic, foetus trading, drug trafficking, incestuous satanic tribe. Classic.

Meanwhile, satisfy your fascination about the Hausa Fulani here, and digest the fact that Dangote, like your current President, is Fulani.

http://hausanigerian..co.uk/2011/07/difference-between-hausas-and-fulanis.html?m=1

Smelly conquered reprobate Bastard.

Lovesdaisied:
[s]Blue-blooded Fulani....don't even make me laugh.

Direct your "conquered" rhetoric to the very Hausas you dominated under your violent and fake Jihad. Who doesn't know about how you strangers to Nigeria consider Hausas your vassals? And then your hypocritical, smelly ARSE jumps in here to take credit for Dangote's successes.

Enslaving savage! You consider fellow human beings as lower than you like the very barbaric, backward ethnicist that you are. If you are not invading autonomous communities with your starved cows and killing indigenes, you are engaging in wars here and there with the natives.

Killer! Enslaver! Racist bastard!

Everybody from Cameroun to Benin Republic to Togo and even parts of Shelia Africa historically knows the kind of hate-filled, misanthropic people that comprise Fulanis.[/s]

Thank your maker for modern civilization, you would have still been paying for daring the Fulani. There is nothing, I mean nothing that can separate the Hausa from the fulani in this day and age, and there is nothing you can do about it. Pack your cannibalistic granny raping self and dunk yourself with the remaining Igbo corpses in the Ezu river for all I care. You diseased son of a conquered tribe.

Lovesdaisied:
Schooled in what? How much of a mumu you are?

Have several seats.

Who cares about your fake memories? We show an entire vehicle made from scratch and you're fantasizing about stretching Peugeot 505s.

Rascalicious Fuladumb!

It is unheard of that a blue-blooded fulani would trade words with a conquered nyamiri like you. In ancient times you would be my prisoner of war that would be wiping off dung off my cattle, thank God for modern civilization you lunatic descendant of defeated Igbos.

Lovesdaisied:
Dangote is Hausa, mr. Fulani Mafia, go jump rope!

okay. A Hausa man is the most successful businessman in Nigeria.

God bless the Hausas.

Lovesdaisied:
[s]Bla bla bla.

Bring it harder next time! Instead of referencing corporate collars running from one car manufacturer to the next with a resume in hand.

The funny thing is that all Aliyu did was design. AKA put together a sketch of the car using the world class resources of a mega auto conglomerate, while sharing ideas and work with his teammates. He had NOTHING TO DO with the actual engineering or manufacturing of the product.

Instead of you to actually congratulate your fellow citizen for single handedly putting together a reasonable looking car from scratch in a third world sh*thole, with little to no aid, monetary or otherwise, from anyone, you came with your hate and spite.

Fulanimumu![/s]

Cry me a river. You have been schooled. Nigerian mechanics have been modifying cars and even stretching them to Limos since the 80's. I clearly remember seeing a Peugeot 505 which was stretched into a limo by a Nigerian mechanic as kids then

Leave that hole you live in and do some research.

Where else will he be from apart from where criminality is celebrated as hustling. Just look at the first posters comment. Smh.

Later, they would be disturbing the President to go and beg Malaysia or Indonesia to save his neck when caught.

I can't wait till they get their Biafra in 2023 so they can stop disgracing Nigerians.

Lovesdaisied:
[s]Aliyu is one of many "seniors" who did the higher level grunt work.

The buck stops with the director of the team, who himself IS a designer and has the final say on the final product.

So what do you say about these other Senior Designers who worked as hard as Aliyu? They are nothing too?

For example, Gary Ruiz:

SMH you are still not making any point. How would you know how hard anyone worked and how does that change the fact that Jelani Aliyu is credited with designing the chevy volt? Lol keep celebrating your panel beater, that keke is the best thing ever invented. Mediocrities.

OP my apologies for derailing your thread.

Lovesdaisied:
Bob Boniface is the DIRECTOR of the design team dumbass.

From his linked in page:

Liar!!!!!!!

Heeee. *Invokes the Spirit of Francis Odega*

GERRARA here!!!!!!

His position is Senior Creative Designer. Haba, why these lies?

At least Emeagwali received recognition for his work via the Gordon Bells Prize unlike your mid-level brother struggling to eke his identity with his white boss, Bob Boniface.

Lol you've been reduced to basing your whole response on a typo. Shame.

Do tell, as Senior Creative Designer, what higher role was there with regard to designing the Chevy Volt.

You should be ashamed at trying to bring down an illustrious son that was awarded MFR by the past President Jonathan for his exploits, unlike the disgraced 'father of the internet'. Typical fraudulent yeeboman.

biafranqueen:
Your still talking he was part of the creative team just say that.
But the chief is below


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYttJ4Dtt2Y

Are you really this dumb or just pretending? How can't you understand the distinction between Senior Creative Designer and Designer?

Lovesdaisied:
Um yes.Positions with "Senior" attached to them ARE mid-level. "Junior" positions are entry level. WhIle Director/head of/Manager are executive roles.

Corporate America 101.

Common Sense 101 = Directors/Managers do not design cars. He was the highest in the design team as Senior Creative Director.

In your haste to debunk the globally celebrated H/F son Aliyu, you failed to engage your brain or whats left of it apparently.

Lovesdaisied:
Yeah yeah yeah.

Squashed your little rouse there about Dangote being Fulani....way to sneakily associate your tribe with another person's success.

Who knows? Aliyu himself may even be Hausa or another Northern minority.

Fulani mafia indeed.

You're a sick joker if you expect me to start arguing with an ordinary nyamiri on the Hausa/Fulani Tribe. Don't be lazy, do your research.

You must think H/F are like the disgraced 'computer scientist' Philip Emegwali

Lovesdaisied:
Um I watched the video. His position was Senior Creative designer as per the Chevy Volt. It's quite mid-level and not as key as your other Nigerian sourced articles would have others believe.

Though he undoubtedly has a notable resume for his career path....

Imagine the contradiction in your statement. You refer to a senior position as mid level. What other position with regard to designing that vehicle is higher in GM? I'm waiting.

Fulanimafia the ball is in your court how far?

Lol the links and VIDEO are there for all to see. Aliyu didn't just design only the volt, but many other GM models. Go and do your research.

He was honored by your idol Goodluck Jonathan for his many feats while you're celebrating Panel beaters on NL.

I have better things to do than to tend to your wounded egos.

Don't hate.
