Man displays G-Wagon he constructed
His family, made up of his parents, three sisters, and a brother, stood in a queue beside what appeared to be a G-Wagon. The vehicle, which was locally “constructed,” had rough edges. Godday called on them to hurry up and enter the car.
“Oya enter. Come close camera. Oya enter sharp sharp,” he said, directing the moment while recording.
As they moved closer, his siblings dusted their legs, brushing sand from their shoes stained by the red sandy soil.
His mother stepped into view, dressed for the outing. In the video, introduced her proudly: “My mom.” She responded with easy camaraderie, hailing him as “engineer.”

Soon after, he guided his father to follow through the other door.
“Oya, daddy follow this side,” he said.

“Bro has a beautiful family that he loves and love him back, that right there makes him richer than most of the people commenting”
@Ella slimzy stated:
“funny how most people are only picking up negative things to talk about, not even appreciating the effort that someone took out his time to construct this. you really tried bro.some of the people here can't even do the least wiring not to talk of constructing it. keep it up more wins this is why foreign countries are better than Nigeria the would encourage you till you make it and not mock their own for trying to figure out something that could help everyone if it works out perfectly.”
Nigerian man constructs G-Wagon-like car
Recall that Legit.ng earlier reported that Godday had built a G-Wagon-like car as he sourced the materials for the body locally. He showed the vehicle for assessment while he turned on the ignition to prove that he did not use a tricycle's engine.
He noted that he could create many more things, and all he needed was financial support from people.
