Israel stole his idea! They destroyed it.

They knew the car was going to help the South Africans in their struggle for freedom.

The South Africans were already banking on production to aid their fight, and Israel got the information and sent their agents to Nigeria to destroy the design and workshop.

You have started this new year with begging.
Is begging hereditary to your lineage?

Mtchew. That na moto?person go couple engine from parts for workshop, add axle, body, gear shaft. I can tell u that he didnt even produce a bolt I that car, but took em from shops
What’s stopping you from assembling yours?
Or you don’t know the workshop to source for parts?
Re: Ezekiel Izuogu Produced Nigeria's First Locally Made Car (photos) by ceejayluv(m): 5:13pm On Jan 03, 2024
Kudos to him but I seriously doubt the story that the design book was stolen by armed Men. It smacks of conspiracy theory fodder.

As at 2006, there were CAD tools he could have used for designing.

In actual FACT... The Autonov1, made in the 1970s by the famous and iconic UNILAG Engineer, Professor Ayodele Oluwatumininu Awojobi (12 March 1937 – 23 September 1984) is the first Nigerian produced vehicle.
FACT!

Only a daydreamer will believe this was made 90% locally. How did he make all the mechanical parts, engine block and so on. Even innoson and gac and Co dey assemble. Just sensational story.

First, he produced the prototype but the government refused to support the mass-production for 8 years. In the 9th year, South Africa began to show interest but the same government sent their demons to come and ensure it would never happen by taking everything that would make this possible.

Millions of this kind of thing have happened. Now, if someone says he's fed up with Nigeria, the low soul reptiles can't understand why.

The same wrong leadership mentality and suppression of ideas to achieve wildspread poverty and hardship. Nigeria is never ready to help the common man, don't you see the amount to clear vehicles today and petrol price, all these are the tools by government to make sure the common man dies of frustration and hardship.

Reassemble of Renault and Peugeot 504. Maybe that's why it suffered setback. Copyright theft issues likely.
It's people like you that sent armed men to his shop to kill his dream

You think he did what he did without any support from his community? There is a reason why government exists. If government cannot play its role, then there is no reason why we should have government.

FACT!
Indeed my bro. I've just added a link in my original post. The level of historical misinformation online is getting too much.

Prof Awojobi invented Autonov1 in the 1970s and he passed on in 1984. How then can anyone say that a car locally made in 1997 is the first locally made car in Nigeria? This is the height of fallacy from the so-called @AfricaFacts which has some misleading information on it.

Those of us who are older can indeed confirm the historical FACT that the Autonov1 was produced many years before 1997. Please it's very important for historical facts to be checked before posting misleading info on NL and online and @AfricaFacts on X is becoming a non-credible site for getting accurate information.

Sir, the Autonov 1 was a great invention. I'm very happy to know about it. And I'm grateful to you for sharing it. But, try to understand why, not only AfricaFactZone but also Wikipedia says that Z-600 was the first fully indigenous car made in Nigeria. It's because over 90% of Z-600 parts were sourced locally but Autonov 1 was made from an abandoned Leyland Jeep.

Whatever be the case, both Autonov 1 and Z-600 and more and more prove that Nigeria has been a dream killer for a long time.
