I stumbled across this interesting story on social media.Below is what Tony wrote....


'ALEX EPHRAIMS

The story of Alex Ephraims will do no less than inspire and excite every sound mind. He was one of very few competent modernized and automated mechanic workshops in Owerri.

His exploits were so much that IMO state government of Rochas Okorocha entered into a deal with him (back in Rochas' first term) to do all kinds of things that would have transformed the state to a large extent under the auspices of ICAPS. (Well, government eventually frustrated the deal and Engr Alex pulled out).

The foreign-trained automechanical expert relocated to his own base here in Owerri and continued pursuit of his dream.

As soon as I returned to Nigeria from a business trip a few months ago, I was invited to see what he has been up to. What I saw left me thoroughly impressed.

In a private workshop of no larger than two plots of land, he had set up a car manufacturing plant here in Owerri. And he already had a finished product sample.

That's not the best part. What he does is akin to what a tailor does. He has a catalog of various car designs and specs. You peruse the catalog, choose any design you like and he produces it for you with any type of facilities or utilities or technology you desire, be it reverse camera, or air conditioner, or speed control system. His is the first known car manufacturing firm with well developed customization services in Nigeria.

He has a team of young men he picked and trained. They are specialists in their various fields of auto mechanical craft.
*Good*
No material is a waste. He runs a very efficient recycling process.

Recently, he carried out a road test of his sample car. The IMO state commissioner of Police refused to deny himself the opportunity of seeing and testing the vehicle. The crowd that trailed the road test from his workshop to certain parts of Owerri was massive.

Alex hails from Nwangele LGA of IMO State'.

[size=16pt]Type of threads that make people mock the SE.

Just look at the gravel road and it's tiny width with no gutters. Only God knows its length.

Anyhow, tell this guy to invest in agriculture, poultry and build small agro-based factories to employ youths in his community. That will help develop his place much faster than the
100 short gravel roads[/size].

1 year of APC's government is far better than the 15 years of PDP's

Jirate:
This is what they should have done ever since; before severe damages were done to the Pipelines, trust APC to beat about the Bush.

obailala:
Still on external forces mounting pressure on Nigeria to devalue its currency. Since the 80's this has always been the advice to African countries. Nigeria has devalued and devalued and devalued from N1 = $1 to the present N200 = $1 but has all these devaluations in the last 30 years ever helped Nigeria?


And you think devaluing will miraculously take care of the sufferings we are subjected to at present because some oyibo economics textbooks says so?... How much foreign investments can possibly come in instantly to counter the prevalent scarcity of forex?.... With sky-high oil prices and excess forex in the NIgerian system between 2010-2014, how much of forex was really introduced into the country by these 'foreign investors'?.... If they couldn't help or impact so much in Nigeria when the going was good, how are we so sure that if we devalue , enough investors would rush in to help the Nigerian economy now that things are bad?

And why should a male doctor operate on a female patient in the first fûcking place


Why do we have female doctors?

Go to any medical school in this country, the population of female medical students is always 50% or higher to the male's population.

I CAN NEVER ALLOW MY WIFE TO VISIT A MALE GYNECOLOGIST.

WHERE ARE ALL THE FÚCKING FEMALE DOCTORS?

I see me an extremist, a jihadist. Imagine your wife in labour and you'll want to insist on a female doctor abi you in need of an emergency operation and you'll insist on a male doctor. They're professionals
