Ọbásanjọ́'s "Jet Amphibian Car" Invention Deserves National Recognition by Nairadean(m): 6:44am On Apr 13, 2016

For Dúrójaiyé Kẹ́hìndé Ọbásanjọ́, the dream of having a multi-purpose car is not just a dream but also a reality. For a few days he has been parading around Lagos in his customized vehicle, which is supposed to be able to fly, move across a body of water, and run on roads.

He calls his invention the “Jet Amphibian Car” and its presence has caused quite a stir at various locations it has been sighted at. While he claims the vehicle can move on water as well as land right now, he hasn’t achieved flight yet, for lack of funds.

Although not related to the former President Ọbásanjọ́, Kẹ́hìndé hails from Ògùn State and says he is a graduate of Lagos State University where he studied Electronics and Computer Engineering. The Jet Amphibian Car project is a product of his creative dexterity, which he began exhibiting from his childhood days.

The features of the UFO look-alike machine include;
Move on land
Moves on water
Has a seven-seater vehicle
Has a digital gear system
Has a keyboard for code activation
Has a bike steering (although there is another with a car steering and airbags).
The pilot seat and the steering. Notice the keyboard (for launch codes)

When Accelerate TV correspondents caught up with Kẹ́hìndé, he said 70% of the parts used are sourced locally, and for the sum of N1.5Million Naira, one can become the proud owner of a Jet Amphibian Car.

He called on President Buhari to support him on this project which has the potential to create jobs and boost the Nigerian economy. In 5 years, he believes with adequate support, he would be able to mass-produce on a commercial scale.

We asked him to do a test drive for us and to the delight of onlookers at the Ọbáleńdé Bus stop, Lagos; he took a spin around causing raucous cheers.

To end the chat, we asked him to drop a message to Nigerians and he said: “To the young ones watching, do not relent, look inwards, and use your initiative to develop this nation. And anyone that is talented, should keep it up.”

Just imagine owning one of these. No more 3rd Mainland Bridge traffic. Just drive into the Lagoon or fly to your destinations.

If that thing can fly yet then he should remove the jet name he added.

politricks:
I doubt that thing can fly
That's what jumping on the thread to comment without reading the article does--it makes one look like a dunce.
Now, scroll up, take your time and read through the post.
