#Biafraland, God Ezechukwuokike Abiama blessed us Igbo and Biafrans in

The story of Alex Ephraims will do no less than inspire and
excite every sound mind. He was one of very few competent modernized and
automated mechanic workshops in Owerri.

His exploits were so much that IMO state government of Rochas
Okorocha entered into a deal with him (back in Rochas’ first term) to do
all kinds of things that would have transformed the state to a large
extent under the auspices of ICAPS. (Well, government eventually
frustrated the deal and Engr Alex pulled out).

The foreign-trained automechanical expert relocated to his own base here in Owerri and continued pursuit of his dream.
As soon as I returned to Nigeria from a business trip a few
months ago, I was invited to see what he has been up to. What I saw left
me thoroughly impressed.

In a private workshop of no larger than two plots of land, he
had set up a car manufacturing plant here in Owerri. And he already had a
finished product sample.

That’s not the best part. What he does is akin to what a tailor
does. He has a catalog of various car designs and specs. You peruse the
catalog, choose any design you like and he produces it for you with any
type of facilities or utilities or technology you desire, be it reverse
camera, or air conditioner, or speed control system. His is the first
known car manufacturing firm with well developed customization services
in Nigeria.

He has a team of young men he picked and trained. They are specialists in their various fields of auto mechanical craft.
No material is a waste. He runs a very efficient recycling process.
Recently, he carried out a road test of his sample car. The IMO
state commissioner of Police refused to deny himself the opportunity of
seeing and testing the vehicle. The crowd that trailed the road test
from his workshop to certain parts of Owerri was massive.
