oluwaKStar:bro , I can tell you still a child .... no pratical yes ... have you bothered to ask yourself why no pratical ... have you ? is it the students faults that there are no resources ... have you asked yourself if it will be ever nice attending any of these institutions with no hands on work . you laugh at your teachers , the ones that teach you . thats to show your quality . you may never be ready to learn because you feel you know too much . reading is never samething as theory , if you dont know , know that . when you read , you ought to have resources for you to practice with ... reading is never the same as theory , learning without handsonwork is what is theory. well , obviously majority of you condemning are still struggling to make waec as I can tell from your fellow bro who says energy is wasted. |

majekdom2: What the hell are you taking about? You don't know shit and you claim to be an Engineer, this exactly what i am talking about. Nigerian education is worst than I thought. We don't waste energy? What percentage of your fuel is usefully converted into mechanical energy to move your automobiles? What happens to the rest? What happens to the efficiency of boilers, remelt and smelting furnaces, etc. You need to read a lot more. 1 Like |

Noneroone: / What is your point? The scrap is what I will expect from mechanics at mgbuka Obosi or Ladipo spare parts dealers. From engineering students? It makes mockery of tertiary education. A roadside welder or 9th Mile corner panel-beater would design a body better than this. The least they could do is pretend like they put in some thought into the process. Come on.

This is crap....bullshit....we should stop celebrating mediocrity abeg. 1.This can not pass to be a racing car that it looks like one does not make it one. 2. This junk can not run faster than old school Volks Wagen Beetle and if it does its gonna fall apart at relatively high speed....why?.....Not sure the Junk makers wore their thinking cap to know that the back tires are suppose to be wider apart than the front tires. 3. Its suppose to be longer to make it closer to gravity. Technologies are out there for us to embrace already....lets embrace em...improve on them...then we can start talking about innovations/inventions. ![]() 1 Like |

People are too quick to criticize and condemn. But if one should consider the present situation in dis economy and the untold hardship it presents. You will definitely have a rethink. These guys have put their brains to work. Though the outcome may not meet standards as obtained in developed coutries of the world, but they did come out with something that could inspire greater outcomes in the nearest future. Kudos I must say... 2 Likes 3 Shares |

slap1:yes. A reflection of the society you live in. All thanks to your politicians in power. You don't expect them to build one similar to that of a student in Britain or South Korea. Did you read a report celebrated on CNN some couple of days ago how a Liberian nursing students saved three relatives from the Ebola sickness by using crude method, making gloves and hazardous materials suit from trash bags. She had to make use of what was available. Americans were asking their government to bring her to US on scholarship. http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/25/health/ebola-fatu-family/ That is ingenuity. The intellectual capability is most important and it's a strong indicator of intelligence. These students if placed in higher institution in developed countries would excel and create a better project. 1 Like |

saxywale: Maybe you are right, as at 2012 there is no functional SEM or TEM to carryout common characterization, that is available in most science and engineering labs in every serious universities outside Nigeria. But still I can't still find a way to justify this. I can't blame the boys doing this, all I feel for them is pity as they will part with a lot of money to buy fairly used parts of different automobiles to assemble this thing. Their professor really needs serious schooling about what is trending in the research world. Like i said earlier no stupid investor will even look this twice, all automobile manufacturing company most especially those producing for F1 have strong R&Ds trying to improve their product and they are willing to liaise with any institution/Professor having something positive to offer. When they see this they will just laugh and may buy it to keep in their museum to always help them in remembering the foolishness of Africans. |
Re: UNIZIK Students Build Car That Looks Like A Formula One Race Car by asala1: 9:23pm On Oct 30, 2014 |
saxywale: But I have friends working on Nano-technology even in Nigeria, even though they have problems with a lot of things and are far backward in the trend (cause most universities deals with their applications now and have long gone pass the development stages) and some lucky hardworking ones gets 6-12 months fellowship out of that country. At least they are contributing their quota in the field that will benefit humanity. |

Re: UNIZIK Students Build Car That Looks Like A Formula One Race Car by Nobody: 9:26pm On Oct 30, 2014 |
asala1:Exactly. How many Nigerian students are even ready to spend kobo on a dissertation. These guys have contributed both time and money on their project. If it was all about grades, they would have just made something very simple and still walk off with their A grade. They went the extra mile even with limited support and funding. Their professors are well aware of what is going on outside the country even much more than the students. Some of my professors aat Ife were Yale and Stanford trained. They still attend academic conferences overseas. But it's the environment that matters. When I was a student at Ife, i remember a particular year when our department(a whole engineering department with over 40 lecturers) received only 30,000 naira from the faculty to carry out research for a year! Professors in G8 and other developed countries have support for research from the government and the industry. Do you know how much a professor(just one professor and not the department) receives every year for research in universities abroad?Some receive more than $500k a year just to support research. It's out of that money they give funding/scholarship to brilliant students from Africa willing to further their studies in their Universities. Of course, no investor would invest money in that but most investor would be willing to invest in their talent and intelligence. Believe me, if these guys have a chance to leave the country for advance studies in a developed country, they won't find it difficult getting employment in the Automotive manufacturing industries. 2 Likes |

oluwaKStar:Aii, all the best but I got some advice for you . talk is cheap . I made good grades , 6 Bs , 1 A1 , 2 Cs . I had a friend who made 9 As and another 7As and 2 Bs. we never laughed at our teachers who will learnt from , there was no nairaland then , infact internet was not common am talking 2004 . we are all doing fine now , one is out of the country tho , he loves research and knows naija is not the place. I dont know you or your parents , but if you thinking with the present naija educational system you will be able to build the present day boeing plane , you are only decieving yourself ok . I ll advice you get back to your books , if you will be contributing on here it should be more of sharing of ideas and knowledge not talking down one. |
