Nigerians have shown ingenuity in automobile design. It is safe to say with the right support, Nigeria may be the centre of the automobile industry on the continent.
A video of a tricycle (keke) which was redesigned to look like an expensive car is one of the several instances of thoughtful creativity in the country.

Oladele gathered scraps and redesigned a Mazda car. The man who was very happy with what he achieved said that the project consumed his six months allowances.
Photos shared online have the scraps serving as motifs on the Mazda's body. It looks like a vehicle from a Mad Max Fury movie.
2. Pragyia's interior looking a Benz
A viral video of a keke with an interior commonly associated with big cars went viral on the internet.
The backseat was designed in such a way that a passenger can place a cup of drink in one of its holders.
Many people who reacted to the video said that passengers taking such a keke should be ready to pay more without complaining.
3. Nonso Offor
An indigene of Anambra showed off his creative side as he totally transformed the look of a Toyota into a Rolls Royce.
The man has, however, not revealed his intention behind the transformation. A photo shared online has him posing in front of the vehicle.
In some other photos, the interior of the car could be seen. Its doors open to the back like a real Rolls Royce.
What would it take to empower young designers/builders?
There are enough conversations on what the government may be doing or not in helping young people grow.
Private organisations and individuals looking for good returns on investments may start empowering young people who are technically skilled.
How 26-Year-old Ghanaian Builds Electric Bikes Powered with Dead Laptop Batteries in His Garage
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that at his garage in his home, young professional cyclist Lawrence Adjei has built customised electric bikes propelled with recycled dead laptop batteries from scratch.
Apart from the fork, headset, key, and a few body parts, the Ghanaian innovator built the frame, wheels, custom-built external battery that helps to run the bikes himself.
Even though he has no expertise in welding, Adjei assembled and merged the other components with a machine to complete his bikes. He then goes ahead to spray the electric bikes to give a bright and colourful touch to the machines.
