At least, you have learnt a good formula from Buhari. Go and use, stop disturbing my mention with rubbish.

Now, get out.

Cry baby

Warned who of what... Jonathan was a huge mistake when it comes to security, and the same Jonathan you worship was single handedly picked by Obasanjo as a small deputy governor

I don't need Ibos so called "long sightedness" because it hasn't helped them one bit

Atleast 2019-2023 Yoruba(all states including Kogi and Kwara) would boast of standard guage rail line under Buhari, same can't be said about you people


.

The standard gauge rail line is being fast tracked to ensure almajirins, and people from Niger republic and Chad, Mali a free flow of movement to Lagos and Ibadan, hanging on top of rickety trailers is not comfortable to the almajirins

Use hate speech to become president too.

So why are crying you intestines out about the great Nnamdi kanu?

SE should contest for presidency on the platform of their darling party pdp and slug it out with other people. That is how it has been and so shall it remain. No region should be given the office on a platform of gold just because "they are entitled to it".

The office of the president is a well contested one even in the US. Anyone that wants to be a president should go get registered with his party of choice and allegiance. No one is "entitled" to the office, especially when you have cultivated the habit of insulting everyone who disagrees with your opinion.

Buharri that truncated democracy, was jailed by IBB, insulted presidents and even used hate speech became president.

Fake news

Obasanjo has one head Fayose has one too, Obasanjo has one mouth Fayose has one too

But Fayose warned you all, Obasanjo was short sighted when he was tearing his party card.

Who gave you phone to browse? We should restrict mad people from Yaba left from using phones

We know, please don't reveal too much about this open secret.

Ike agwugo unu?

NGpatriot:
Didn't the same Amaechi revived and completed the Wari Itakpe railway in the same Delta that was abandoned for 30 years?

You really should be laughing at your own ignorance, pettiness and hatred.

You ipobs can really be ignorant goofy sha..

Hate may consume you if you don't take time.

car inventor?

He invented a brand of car.

Z-600: Buried Dreams: Engr Ezekiel Izuogu is dead 

A very known, respected and renowned Scientist and Inventor, Engr.Dr.Ezekiel Izuogu, from Ideato North LGA of Imo State is dead.

According to family sources, African foremost Car inventor and manufacturer died early July 18th, 2020. 

In 1997, a brilliant Igbo Electrical Engineer and Lecturer at the Federal polytechnic Nekede, Dr. Ezekiel Izuogu designed and developed the Izuogu Z-600, the first African indigenous manufactured car.

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 Igbo land and Nigeria, was in the making.

The car was equipped with a self made 1.8L four cylinder engine that got 18mpg and allowed the 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.

According to Dr. Izuogu:

“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. This Press was quiet about this story. The set back and governments attitude frustrated Izuogu and his dream died.

I think its rather an Eastern loss.

Unfortunately for them, the refusal to reform the police, restructure the country, return to the regions or dismember the country is affecting the north much more negatively.

Forget the fine pictures Arrewa posts here to deceive you all, the north is a cesspit of crime, hunger and underdevelopment. The irony is that they charge down south to enforce the law while crime eats them up daily.

In Oyo

Stop blabbing,Nnandi Kanu is too small to lead Ndi Igbo to any war.We are not fools.

The only war that will happen is the one in your compound. We are waiting to read the story on the front page.

Guestlander:
Hehehe, I type errors but you don't know the difference between "dye" and "die"
Kiddo, you need to go and play with your mates.

Wrote dye because you will click the report button to save your neck from me

Guestlander:
I truly feel sorry for you people like you.

When hunger have made you be typing errors since today?

Send your account number, I will give you chop money for today only, don't wanna hear say person dye

These are baby kidnappers learning work you killed, but when the ogbologbo kidnappers show face, even the army abandons their check points and pretend to withdraw on orders from above.

Guestlander:
There's no "we" you are just like a pawn in a chess game.

The chessboard of poverty you mean?

You are a key player there

My Yoruba neighbours were singing this morning in front of the house "Thank you IPOB for opening our eyes"

PDP wants you to cover the fraud in your stinking government?

When did PDP start wishing you well?

Guestlander:
We? The crumbs from the government doesn't even get to folks like you.

Yes, because I am too big to pick crumbs, unlike you who's life depends on crumbs

.

Are you surprised? When you guys were voting illiteracy and incompetence, what did you expect before?

Laughable

We will keep making sure Amaechi keeps on working to benefit the north while abandoning his Niger Delta region to poverty and hopelessness.

We will promise him APC presidential ticket so he can take over the Igbo turn, use him to frustrate Tinibu and divide the south further

Knocking out another two presidential hopefuls from the SW, just like they did Oladipo Diya and Adisa

omenka:
What exactly did the gentleman INVENT?

Can someone share?

Prototype design for a new car called Z-600, he also went ahead and manufactured the car. It was displayed and test driven in many places back then.
