Dr. Ezekiel Izuogu produced Nigeria's first locally made car, the Z-600 in 1997. 90% of its parts were locally sourced.

He was a Lecturer at the Federal Polytechnic Nekede.

Armed men broke into his factory and stole his tools and design book in 2006.

They stole his tools and design. What about the car itself? Where is it now?

Nigeria has always been blessed with great talents but they are wasted due to mismanagement. I read recently that even Yahoo Yahoo and Japa Syndromes can be a source of economic advantage for Nigeria IF WELL MANAGED because these are talented youths. But, our government is only seeing it from a negative angle. We need wise leaders.

First, he produced the prototype but the government refused to support the mass-production for 8 years. In the 9th year, South Africa began to show interest but the same government sent their demons to come and ensure it would never happen by taking everything that would make this possible.

Millions of this kind of thing have happened. Now, if someone says he's fed up with Nigeria, the low soul reptiles can't understand why.

XAUBulls:

The Autonov1, which was made in the 1970s by the famous and iconic UNILAG Engineer, Professor Ayodele Oluwatumininu Awojobi (12 March 1937 - 23 September 1984) is the FIRST Nigerian produced vehicle.

Those of us who are older can indeed confirm the historical FACT that the Autonov1 was produced many years before 1997. Please it's very important for historical facts to be checked before posting misleading info on NL and online and @AfricaFacts on X is becoming a non-credible site for getting accurate information.

Sir, the Autonov 1 was a great invention. I'm very happy to know about it. And I'm grateful to you for sharing it. But, try to understand why, not only AfricaFactZone but also Wikipedia says that Z-600 was the first fully indigenous car made in Nigeria. It's because over 90% of Z-600 parts were sourced locally but Autonov 1 was made from an abandoned Leyland Jeep.

Whatever be the case, both Autonov 1 and Z-600 and more and more prove that Nigeria has been a dream killer for a long time.

Good for him but you conveniently cropped out some issues.

Reassemble of Renault and Peugeot 504. Maybe that's why it suffered setback. Copyright theft issues likely.
This one doesn't know what is copyright theft. Just because a Honda car resembles a Toyota car in some respects doesn't mean that Honda stole from Toyota. Bring out any two cars produced by any two companies and I will show you many ways that they resemble each other. Balablue.

Nigeria! To say that this country stiffles genuine , pure talent is an understatement.
On the contrary, it is the breeding ground for all sorts of illegalities known to man.

I read about his exploits over 20 years ago and I felt like crying for Nigeria.
Somebody just felt threatened by the man's progress. Meanwhile, we never heard what came out of the actions of enemies of progress. They couldn't use all those items to better their own lives.
