A Fabrication Engineer and CEO of Bennie Technologies LTD, Jerry Isaac Mallo has unveiled Nigeria’s first carbin fibre car which he manufactured on Thursday November 28.
The Engineer who is just 25-years-old, hinted on creating more innovative products and said he was inspired to create the sports car because Nigeria and Africa is a very big market for luxury vehicles.
“In Europe, we learnt that making the car is just half of the challenge, and selling it is the other half; Africa is usually is the target place to sell these vehicles, so I feel there’s a big market for it here,” Mallo told Channels Television Sunrise Daily on Friday November 29.
The Plateau state indigene who said his state government has been quite supportive, disclosed that Governor Simon Lalong was the chief unveiler of his car named Bernie Purrie.
Mallo said most people get crushed in cars because those cars are made from aluminium or galvanized sheets that cannot absorb shocks at high speed. He added that his cars comes with 130 big horsepower which goes from 0 to 120 in 12seconds and also has a 2.0litre engine.

Businesswoman, Glory Osei who was called out on social media a few weeks ago, has stated that she never owed anyone salary.
In a series of tweets, Gloria Osei stated people are free to criticize her for her past, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t been kind and good to the people she met.
She tweeted:
While it might seem like I am beating a dead horse &understanding your desperation for slander about me to be true let it be clear to those who care to know. I have NEVER EVER owed anyone a salary. I have never treated anyone badly. I have been good and kind to the people I meet.
I barely meet people as the scope of my involvement in my businesses mostly have me meeting with management to develop strategies and action plans. The only thing I have done “wrong” is to let go of people. I wish we didn’t, but it had to be done. And they got paid, all of them.
I pay people for their work and I pay WELL. My salaries are very competitive and right there at the top of what you would earn in other spaces and sometimes more.
Criticise my past of selling trends and paint yourself above that.
Unai Emery has been sacked as Arsenal manager after 18 months in charge.
The Spaniard, who previously led Paris St-Germain to the French league title and won three Europa Leagues with Sevilla, was appointed Gunners boss in May 2018, succeeding Arsene Wenger.
He is to be replaced on a temporary basis by assistant and former Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg.
Arsenal said the decision had been “taken due to results and performances not being at the level required”.
The Gunners have not won in seven games and lost 2-1 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday.
They are without a Premier League victory since 6 October and eight points off the top four.
In a statement, Arsenal added: “We have full confidence in Freddie to take us forward.
“The search for a new head coach is under way and we will make a further announcement when that process is complete.”
They finished fifth in 48-year-old Emery’s first season in charge at Emirates Stadium after he replaced Wenger.
The Gunners started this season with back-to-back victories against Newcastle and Burnley, but that run ended with defeat by Liverpool, before draws with north London rivals Tottenham and Watford followed.
Their last Premier League victory was a 1-0 win over Bournemouth.
On Saturday, they battled to a 2-2 draw – their sixth of the season – at home to Southampton, with Alexandre Lacazette scoring an injury-time equaliser.
Emery is the third managerial dismissal in the English top flight this season, after Javi Gracia and Mauricio Pochettino departed Watford and Tottenham respectively.
Arsenal’s last victory came against Vitoria Guimaraes in the Europa League on 24 October, in which they needed two late Nicolas Pepe free-kicks to secure a 3-2 win.
Luwo and Nakabonye first met in July 2012 in a taxi. Apparently, Luwo had forgotten his wallet at home and the conductor kept harassing him thinking he intended not to pay for his fares.
“I had no single coin on me but to my surprise, a lady in the taxi offered to pay for my journey,” Luwo narrates.
Nakabonye’s gesture surprised Luwo so he decided to ask for her number. The two connected and kept close but stayed friends for over two years.
In 2014, Luwo felt he and Nakabonye had more than a friendship connection so he decided to pour out his feelings to her. Unfortunately, Nakabonye declined his proposal.
“However much she didn’t want to be my girlfriend, I didn’t lose hope. We remained friends for about six months, until I brought it up again,” Luwo explains.
This time round, Luwo wanted to make the moment special and memorable, so he decided to propose to Nakabonye again on her birthday.
Although Nakabonye turned down his request for the second time, Luwo says her answer gave him some hope.
“She told me she had to first pray about it and also talk to her pastor about the entire situation.”
In February 2016, Luwo decided to take a step further and make his attentions more clear.
He went to Nakabonye’s pastor for approval however, the pastor’s reply was no different, “He advised us to pray about it and ask God to show us the right path.”
Time went by without any progress until October 2016 when Nakabonye threw Luwo a surprise birthday party. The two shared a special moment and that day, she accepted to be his girlfriend.
The good news, however, came with some conditions, “Although she had accepted to be in a relationship with me, she suggested that we couldn’t get married until she was done with school, a condition I welcomed and agreed to.”
Towards the end of 2017, the two decided to meet each other’s parents and let them know about their intention to wed.
Annet’s parents welcomed the idea and the only thing they requested from Luwo was to become a born again, “I didn’t really have a problem with it since I had already started attending Nakabonye’s church.
Luwo’s parents were also very excited to hear that they would soon have a daughter-in-law, “My mother advised me to make sure I was making the right decision and I was being with a person that really made me happy.”
On August 20, 2018, Luwo and 15 of his family members and friends went for a kukyala ceremony at Nakabonye’s aunt’s home in Buvuma.
A date for the introduction ceremony was set and on November 9, 2019, Luwo was officially introduced by Nakabonye at her parent’s home in Kayunga.
