Why are they blasting him,did he lie?I agree with amaechi most of engineers doesn't have the expertise to handle railway technology.

Show me a prototype video of what Nigerians have claimed they can do. Do you think all these things are just to believe that they can do it? Let them market themselves. Sell technologies to us, safety measures etc. Do you think USA government just believe in their engineer without close to reality prototypes and strong research committment? Do you know how many years it took engineers to build Airbus plane?

I for one will not shy away from the truth. Our engineers need to do more to convince the government. Nobody wants to die anyhow or be responsible for a mass death. Do you own an Innosson vehicle? I'm sure you are considering safety measures until proving otherwise.
Please be sincere with yourself.

So the govt officials patronising innoson vehicles are not considering safety right?
People just talk because the platform is pen for them to talk.

Have you asked which engineers maintained the rail tracks and train engines for years before the govt allowed the rail sector to die?
For all the years i have been selling at the train station as a kid or entering trains,i have never seen a white/chine or indian man in our railways.
I grew up in a railway town

Engr is just a tag

Would u rather give your car to a Japanese or Chinese technician who works at Toyota and has years of experience or a Nigerian automotive engineer with an M.eng in mechanical engineering who can not diagnose a faulty car let alone design one?

Nigerian certificates are grossly overrated.

Ameachi i am sorry was right. The Chinese technicians as you call them have years of experience building railway lines in China, Kenya and other African countries. The Nigerian engineer is only good at gathering titles and certificates. Mni, mnse, M.eng, b.eng etc



And who told you you all the bullshit you typed up there.A Nigerian Mec. Engineer cannot design a Car?God!Enough with this useless assumptions.Go to Unizik for example and see what Students do with solidworks.In real Sense,an Engr has no business diagnosing a faulty car.Go and read the difference between a mechanic and a mechanical engineer. Stop trying to sound smart cause you are actually sounding stupid

You that knows what Engineering is all about; That a Professor of Engineering cannot repair a car engine is normal? That means he cannot design and build one from scratch. Any young Engineer in this country that rants rather than rising to the challenge is living in self deceit.

Did you just hear yourself?
Repair a car engine?
Thats not the job of a professor of engineering anywhere in the world.Even in harvard..,,or cambrige...its not done.

Mechanical engineers’ job is about design, analysis, and manufacturing cars, and many other mechanical systems : while its the job of the mechanics to find faults and repair cars

The problem with the engineering sector in Nigeria is lack of skilled Technicians. Engineers don't do hands on, they design and plan layout of work for Technicians. But unfortunately, past governments wants everyone to go to Universities, even the polytechnics are just names on paper. They scrapped most technical schools.
The truth of the matter is the country lacks skilled technicians or those called Machinist in North America.
***Is there any University/polytechnic offering Railway Engineering?

My guy, go to innosson, I bet you that there is a foreigner there putting conclusions to what they are doing. But you yourself what I asked. Do you own an innosson vehicle or have you considered buying one?

Stop living in self-denial. Those maintaining does rails then, are they carrying out progressive maintenance, or do they in anyway have documentaries of new technologies of how to better the construction. You said they are maintaining engines, engines that in the process of their repairs, they have traded off all safety measures. We see these things every day.

Why are you shifting the goal post?

As first you talked about not buying Innoson cars because of safety issues....now you are runing to "having a foreigner who puts conclusion to the manufacturing process"

Fosil fuel car manufcturing done by innoson is not rocket science once you got the training,equitment and technology transfer.
There no foreigner anywhere putting finishing touches.

If the railways did not die and governemnt providing enough funding to it,we could have advanced our knowledge in that area.
Those day,the railways own foundires where they fabricate train/rail parts for the railway system.

Finally,without developing our iron and steel,we will go no where in rail technology,

Black's can't developed their country not because they don't like to but because they don't have what it takes in their brain. its just God that made it so. the white shouldn't have bothered themselves with black people. they should have been left alone in the dark. i don't hate blacks but i love you guys not to tell you the Truth. you guys should have been left alone with your culture and heritage not forcing colonialism on your throat which your forefathers rejected but were defeated.

When I see comments like the one Amaechi made about Nigerian Engineers it makes me work hard to prove a point. When Akwa Ibom State government will be ready for the coconut oil plant/refinery I would ensure they don't look for expartriates. Before then I would present my prototype, not just the simulation and solid model. Odfid is working towards measuring up with names like Buhler, Blomberg etc. (This is not a dream. I'm on it already).

Mechanical engineering

Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies engineering, physics, and materials science principles to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines.


FROM WIKIPEDIA

If a Mech. Engineer cannot figure his way around a car engine, is that one a Mech. engineer?

A mechanical engineer isn't an Automobile engineer nor is he an electromechanical engineer. Automobiles are more complex then you think. For example, a ford automobile engineer cannot confidently diagnose or advise repair work on a Range Rover car with a specialized training and understanding the engine blueprint. This is the reason why Nigeria mechanics without brand specialisation are the worst.

Automotive Engineering Degrees

Automotive engineering is a branch of mechanical engineering that concerns the design, development and manufacture of cars, trucks, motorcycles and other motor vehicles. Automotive engineers also design and test the many subsystems or components that comprise a motorized vehicle.
