In 2015, there is no point reinventing the wheel that was invented in early 20th century, 1900-1950.

Chart a new course man, there are other peculiar issues in Nigeria and Africa, that can be solved with local technology.

When we look deep into our society you will see different skill and technicality wasting by the day, i met this guy this morning on my way to school with his locally made car, i begged him and took pictures and promised him he will see his car on the internet, what really caught my fancy was that he actually drove the car.

He attended technical college in calabar, and according to his neighbor's; its not the first he has made.

see the pictures below...

Bullshit

You don't go about calling anything in four-wheels a car.

It will be an injustice to "Cars" for somebody to this a car.

your type cannot even make a bulb lite wen connected to ba3

for this naija you must have the brain or money .if you don't have any na sorry case

Great Job. Etim Edem park guys will love it

One chance, One chance: Etim Edem to Beach market

your head dey der!!!

Lildreezy:
that's cool though. the fact that he could couple the chassis and the engine frame, steering system, and connect a drive train to the rear wheels is quite impressive for a technical college student, bearing in mind that most mechanical engineering graduates can't pull even half of this. that kid is going places in Jesus name. another innoson soon in the making.


to all those slow pokes downgrading this, don't forget that he is just a technical college student without a sustainable source of fund. truth is, he'll land a job in any serious engineering company faster than they'll even look at that your Almighty CV u worship.

good job. ford and Benz all started from the basics.

God bless you my brother!

useless pooo

Picture of a carriage made in calabar. OP please re-title.

9ja is so backward that we celebrate non-achievement like we have conquered the world.

can u mak a tyre roll

CityNG:


You're encouraging nonsense.

This is 2015.

What he cobbled together is more of a go cart and a poor one at that.

You guys need to stop all this nonsense.

and u are so discouraging, no wonder u ain't moving forward and you want does around u to be stagnant too

learn to appreciate bro, it will help you..

yea,i do. He attends St. Peter's Parish Ediba

yes! and which is ur parish?

Great Engineering work.would go places

Enermy of progress bad belle, wat ave u ever produced in ur full life instead of u to applaud d guy for a job well done u re busy saying rubbish. Munke

This could electrocute you ....you know ?

cyprianlah:

No but many kids can. They roll tyres with sticks. Perhaps we should run around telling the world that our kids are also geniuses for that.

No wonder

CityNG:


The matter tire me.

Next some asshat is going to ask us to post what we've done ourselves.

I tell you. These things have been done and left behind in the early 20th Century. Why anyone in this country will celebrate this in the 21st century means that we are still too far away from civilization.

How exactly is this a car na? I'm not even sure it qualifies to be called a pushcart.

Bad belle! Tell me y u go progress

Bad belle! Tell me y u go progress

I'm progressing very well thanks for your concern. But that thing in the pictures is not progress. Nigerians are already building world standard cars in our country. We don't need to be celebrating mediocrity any longer.

My last piece on this thread. There is nothing wrong with building that piece of contraption. There is everything wrong with celebrating it publicly and calling the guy a genius.

For the ignorant, this is not an engineering work. It is a mechanical work that any illiterate apprentice mechanic can conjure. It also doesn't belong in the 21st century. If seen, road safety and police should arrest the car and charge the owner to court for publicly disgracing 9ja. It only belongs to the owner's backyard for his private entertainment.

That said, I'd encourage the owner to continue with the good work. He will go places if he dreams bigger than this. But I will frown on the OP and any other person celebrating this Cos they don't belong to this century. This is not where 9ja should be. And anybody that tries to drag 9ja back should be ridiculed.

And for the guy who said the maker would get a job faster than an engineer I laugh at your ignorance. If you had attended school, you'd know that this is not anywhere near engineering. An engineer is a designer of complex systems, not a welder of scrap metals and Barrow wheels.

If a tecnical college student can do wat u've seen without standard resources nd materials nd is not been encouraged, tell me how his going to go to the next level

I bliv with d ryt materials nd atmostpheredat guy will move mountains

And I think we should focus more on encouragement nd not criticing everytin we see
