Nigerian man builds plane from scratch!

It took Ifiemi Felagha 8 years to build this plane with no external funding. This reminds me of Engineer Okpere who built a car using locally sourced parts. This men are just amazing and should be praised on a international level. They have so much potential that should be harvested for economic growth and even educational development in Nigeria. I hope 36 year old Ifiemi (in the video below) and  Engineer Okpere don't get pushed to the side.
God bless Nigeria .

All that is good about Nigeria

Nigeria is a beautiful country. Most Nigerians I know, love Nigeria but hardly say any good thing about her. You always hear Nigerians talking about the negative aspects and complaining about the great nation. There is so much potential, hope, JOY and a lot to be thankful for. Due to the corrupt nature of the society and the critical temperament of most Nigerians, all Her beauty is usually disregarded. :(

Anyway, I stumbled on this amazing blog that talks about 'All that is good about Nigeria'. I think you should have a look at it and appreciate Nigeria's great assets and diversity.   All That is Good About Nigeria

Nigerian Builds Car Using Locally Sourced Parts

Engineer Okpere built a car using locally sourced parts! He could be Nigeria's own Henry Ford if he is rightly supported. Nigerians are hard working people but we hardly invest our talents and thoughts in positive things. We thank God for people like Engineer Okpere. I hope he gets what he needs to be able to build a successful industry.
