Dr.-Ezekiel-Izogu
The Touching Tale Of How The Dream Of Africa’s First Car Maker Dr. Ezekiel Izogu Was Killed.


A Nigerian Electrical Engineer and Lecturer at the Federal polytechnic Nekede, Dr. Ezekiel Izogu designed and developed the Izuogu Z-600, the first African indigenous manufactured car in 1997.

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 Izogu Motors plant in Naze owerri, the prospects of an industrial revolution in Nigeria, was in the making.

The car was equipped with a self made 1.8L four cylinder engine that got 18mpg and allowedthe car to achieve a top speed of 140 km/h. Front Wheel Drive (FWD) was chosen over Rear 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. General Sani Abacha set up a 12 man panel of inquiry made up 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 a 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 built their first car known as the Indi.

At a well organized unveiling ceremony which had General Abacha represented by Oladipo Diya, over 20 foreign ambassadors and thousands 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 Africa 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 2.00 a.m, a total of about 12 heavily armed men broke into Dr. Izogu’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.“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 locally produced pistons, four pieces of engine block mounds, four pieces of top engine block moulds, ten pieces of engine fly wheel and two pieces each of rear car and front mudguard moulds.”The inventor regretted that not only did they lose over one N1 billion in monetary terms, but also time (about 10 years) and the energy it took to design and produce 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 Press was quiet about this story. The set back and governments attitude frustrated Izuogu and his dream died.

what I don't get is why someone will start a fight he can finish. your a blogger and he is a musician. hes been minding his business trying to survive but instead of you doing so you choose to kill his carrer by blogging only his bad nd misfourtune. those feminist critisizn wiskid ,tell me ,if it was to be ur husband will u tell him to let the sleeping dog lie while he is going down d drain simply bcs someone is making ends meet with it? remember linda has been bloggn negative tins abt pple. some took it easy nd some couldn't. but she linda couldn't take even one atall atall. remember rhow she went on rampage jst bcs someone said her hand bag is a fake. even sahara reporters has to apologise for disseminating false story during jonathan rule remember.
waitooo... is linda the only blogger in Nigeria? cuz I kno she has had problem with somany artist. nd remember other blogger will publise both the good and bad of a an object.
note: wizkid said I will instruct my 16yr old cousin to beat u nt kill u remember
linda said I will kill ur career. who is guilty here.
nawaooo linda couldn't even take what she s been giving to somany pple. wizkid is nt her mate so she should jst take a walk.

my brother sofar u get fuel jst go and relax . this country harsh, prsident harsh the pple harsh, weather harsh

when linda was bashing them everybody kept quiet. Now the young guy stood up for himself u guys started attacking him. so he should av kept quiet and go down the drain. if linda is a good blogger how many times has she published any good fortunes of wizkid or is it only the bad ones. Don't u kno stuffs like that can bring down a celebrity. Same linda went mad on social media defending herself jst bcs someone said her hand bag is a fake. She cant take punch but can punch.....

I would av been more confortable if it was military men that caught them. this guy might be sayn the truth. iv seen police catch innocent pple and label them armed robbers. in the morning I saw them on tv with their hands tied nd infront of them was this plenty bullets nd guns. since then I always see to believe.

wizkid is having fun and linda is killing herself upstairs alone. imagine. wizkid is flexing and linda is vexing. nawaoooo

Cant be true. something is wrong somewhere. iv been to d north and witnessed how they write their exams e.g waec nd was disappointed nd angry with waec board for suffering the eastern part of the country with their strictness in exams. exams were copied on the black board nd even the xternal invigilator helped them too which cannot happen in the east or west I guess.if it was an eastern or western student that got that mark he would av been made to defend that score.

better to be demoted than to be killed by boko haram

yea nice and rare to see these days. pastors are always like give me give me. sow seed sow seed. they can never sow in the lives of pple they are better than.

meeen! this is disgusting. laying an underaged girl in the name of she love me. well what I don't get is why the girl is speaking hausa soo fluently. what did she drink that turned her tongue or was she speaking hausa from edo state before?

meeeenn iv made up my mind to marry a woman and all she can come up with is that i should marry her in her own church. but im planning to go to her compound for traditional rites. why wont i do it in my own compound.
some girls are crazy shaa.
before u kno it her parents will start calling u, suporting the motion.
i hate that alot and always sees that as a bad sigh.

my problem with women is that they always see submission as control nd will even want u to submit to them. rubbish

Its obvious the man will control him. He is in hot souo but dont kno

Its obvious the woman will control him. He is in hot souo but dont kno

I dnt understand. JTF at the sight of unarmed boko haram will leave his gun nd vehicle nd run for his life only to come into the street and shot unarmed civillians protesting. Nd some pple r happy Nigeria army defeated unarmed biafrans during civil war. I wonder wht will happen if another country come here for war.
Even the international bodies r tired of hearing how nigeria army runs away all the time frm boko haram that's why they refuse to give buhari assisstance.

I know Anambra is the best generally. Yes Anambra came second but. I'm sure other students from the same Anambra will do better than all schools in Nigeria. There Is sometn abt Anambra. Pple being intelligent I don't understand may be its divine. I grew up there bt nt frm there

Well to me someow she's right. I once slept with a woman and tht was it. She don't pick my calls again. I later saw her and ask why,she said she slept with me bcs she likes me nd want to,and though I'm good in bed she's not daten me that she has a boyfriend that it won't happen again.I was shockd

Congrtulations! Well the Guy fine fine pass the girlooo.

Please someone should make me understand.
(1) Why is Nigeria so keen in keeping these ibos in nigeria?
(2). does that mean we can't stay as a nation without them?
(3). Someone says he wants to go and stay on his own why stop him especially when he is more than 18yrs.
(4). If they are so important to us then someone should tell me wht they do for us we can't do when they leave.

Well I like their sitting arrangement irrespective of ur husband or wife. U sit where u want
