Car Talk / What Happened To Izuogu Automobile by htajz: 5:43pm On Mar 02, 2012 |
Izuogu Z-600 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Izuogu Z-600 The Izuogu Z-600 prototype was the first indigenous Nigerian car, and the first automobile of indigenous all-African technology. It was the brainchild of engineer Ezekiel Izuogu. Launched in 1997, the car caused a stir in the Nigerian media, and was touted by the then Nigerian chief of Staff General Oladipo Diya. [edit]Design and Specification The prototype 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 (86 mph). 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. 90% of the car's components were made locally. The design of the car was very utilitarian resembling a Renault 4 with its upright stance and a front end that resembles the locally assembled Peugeot 504. To be priced at $2000 it would have been the cheapest car in the world. Clever features like a door bell used in place of a horn ensure it achieves its low price target. Mass production was planned under Izuogu motors located in Naze, Imo state, but too many financial and political hurdles prevented the car from proceeding past the prototype stage. [edit]Current progress In 2005 interest from other African countries arose about the Z-600 and Dr. Izuogu was invited to South Africa to give a speech on science and technology. The South African government showed keen interest in the car and wanted Izuogu to build it in South Africa. Optimism surrounded the car until March 11th, 2006, when armed robbers raided the factory of Izuogu Motors taking with them the molds for the engine blocks and crank shaft, mudguards and other components. This was a big setback for the project. Since then not much is known on the status of the car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izuogu_Z-600 can anyone tell us if they are still trying to rebuild the engine or have they given up totaly on the project like soo many other nigerian projects. i pity the owner after all the hard work, such a man would have been a world icon if only he took this technology to another country including south africa, there is no gain in trying to make nigeria proud instead you end up heart broken and broke. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: The Situation In Yorubaland by htajz: 12:06am On Feb 27, 2012 |
igbaodun: yorubas in portharcourt are the same with other groups in ph , they are traders, tailors, securtiy men etc , there is nothing special about them if there was we would know just as how niger delta sons are pulling strings in the southwest, theres no single single influential yorubaman in ph because they mostly do menial jobs, secondly nigerdeltans have more educated people than yorubas both in numbers, percentage etc thirdly niger deltans succed more than yorubas both in yorubaland and in ph even though we dash you oil money monthly, fourthly , lagos is not yorubaland show us a yoruba state that is doing well, well you cant cus there is non , and before i forget yorubas are actually the ones getting deported from lagos. so like i said yorubas in ph and other states in south south are refugees. meanwhile stop trying to deviate from the topic, why is it that yorubas have allowed yorubaland to decay soo much even now that oil is still free, if they dont do something now what will they do and how will they feed and rebuid their towns and cities if nigeria splits with their high population. |

babsjnr:am from ijawland and live in ijawland,born and breed in ijawland and God knows no where else is better for me , not even jand ,maybe you should leave the white mans country ,come back and save your yoruba villages and town from rotting away. pratice what your preach. its easy for you to discuss about mend, the north all day plus boko harem etc but get mad when yorubaland is mentioned, sorry am not buying it. |
Politics / Re: The Situation In Yorubaland by htajz: 11:32pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
Dudu_Negro: what in esssence your justifying your governors pocketing the money? that dont even make sense, how about the yorubas in portharcourt, warri ,yenogoa,asaba, calabar etc are they not also refugees going from your reasoning. there is no difference between portharcourt and lagos they both have lots of non indigens and non nigerians resideing there but you dont see those of us from there calling those people refugees including the yorubas working and living there or is not humans that are developing those cities even when it is our oil that is feeding you now. nobody will buy this your story , sorry sir, and pls you can reply me without trying to turn this to another igboyoruba war. secondly lagos was a federal teritory until 1999 so it was developed with FG money= nigerdelta oil. |

dayokanu: every region is crying marginalisation and cheating including yorubas , the north are now officially asking for more money cus according to them they have a higher population to take care of, at least they stand for something, why do some yorubas cry marginalisation while some like you laugh at those that cry marginalisation? it just dont make sense and thats the problem we have with yorubas you mock people trying to solve an isue that is even worse in yorubaland. about rape but for sure we can discuss why oyo state have the highest rape cases in the country and why yoruba elders have to east humans before they are crowned. |
Politics / Re: The Situation In Yorubaland by htajz: 11:03pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
koruji: no we will all put the fire out together , the same way we all discuss about the north , boko harem and poverty, the east mend and oil politics the west should also be discussed. |
Politics / Re: The Situation In Yorubaland by htajz: 10:57pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
igbaodun: this is what am talking about, yorubaland is soo backward you will wonder if yorubas actually care about their situation and your here writing grammar, keep deluding yourself. federal govt built lagos not yorubas, infact it was in 1999 that lagos actually becam part of southwest before that it was a federal territory. theres no other yoruba state or town that is worth mentioning thats my point ,they have all decayed you will think theres a war going on there. 1 Like |

i believe there are other groups apart from boko harem( just as there are other militant groups apart from mend) that is why we need SNC let everyone say what their roblem is and lets see how it can be resoved once and for all, if theres a group in the north that dont want southerners or christians let them announce it openly maybe we can just have regional states where u dont have to be posted to another people region. lets stop shying away from these problems. |
Politics / Re: The Situation In Yorubaland by htajz: 7:39pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
koruji: my point every region have their own problems but the yorubas keep denying even when they suffer more in the south, remove lagos and you will see there"s nothing to write home about yorubaland. north have finally accepted theres massive overty theres ,south have accepted polution and high crime rate especially among youth , east have accepted they are being cheated ,state creation, reduction of population ,low alocation but yoruba no way na only bragging they dey. infact they always try to sabotage threads where people from other regions try to discuss their problems. |
Politics / Re: Christians Caught Attempting To Bomb Cocin Church In Bauchi by htajz: 7:34pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
does it matter if they are christians pr not? it shows that the north are really against the south trying to bomb where southerners worship The suspected bombers are Lamba Goma, Filibus Danasa, Joshua Ali, Danjuma Sabo, Joseph Audu, Simon Gabriel, Bulus Haruna, Yohanna Ishaya and Daniel Ayuba (who was the immediate past Secretary of PDP at Tilden Fulani Ward, Toro LGA, Bauchi State). from the names we understand they are northerners and yoruba maybe from kwara, |

almost the same experience i had during my nysc in ekiti, didnt want to share it in nairaland but it seems a nigerian had the same experience in another part of yorubaland. my point is yorubas should stop mistaking lagos as yorubaland cus the more they do that the more they neglect the core yoruba towns |
Politics / The Situation In Yorubaland by htajz: 7:21pm On Feb 26, 2012 |
from Suleiman Surajo @Olashehinde: I lived in a village called Ora-Igbomina. In Ifedayo LGA in osun state a town bordering Omuaran in Kwara state, my brother the town has no light, not to talk of a tap water, poverty is what define there living standards, the land is choacked up with dense thick forest hence very little land to farm, the livestock are little dwafs that have little or no protien, infact there isn't one single toilet in d town, every one has to battle the snakes in the thick forest if he most pass his feaces . Povery to its fullest is what is experienced. All they eat is roasted plantain and KoKo(a roasted toad) The village is the den of bastards as most children are born without any marraige. 1 Like |

Eziachi: we dont have to form another marriage , we can be seperate nations politically while maybe sharing the same economic boundries , the most important thing is for both we ijaws and the igbos and other groups to get their resources and be able to control their destiny, there is no time we all made our mistakes in the past(even though some ijaws fought for biafra but this is not the time for that argument). the earlier the better, how long will it continue. |
