A Nigerian, Sunday Okpere Built A Vehicle Called ‘Rock Auto’.

A Nigerian worker has built a vehicle from old car parts and scrap metal according to the link of Oluyinka Jolaolu. The creator, Sunday Okpere, hopes the vehicle can compete favourably against other international models sold in the country. The vehicle he named ‘Rock Auto’ was cruised on the street of Lagos and runs more or less like any other car and capable of reaching speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour, he says it is also capable of navigating the city's pot holes and flooded roads during the rainy season just like many other vehicles.

Okpere says his interest in building vehicles began when he was a child, making toy cars from discarded tins and wires for his friends at school. Decades later, he decided to unveil his first moving vehicle. Sunday Okpere said, "There are a lot of things in my brain, because what I am thinking of now is how to build a car for the masses that will be cheap transport." Actually, Sunday Okpere has the same thing in common with Henry Ford and The wright brothers; that is vision and commitment to that vision regardless of all odds.
