Nigeria is a consuming nation, and i have said this often times, the development in Nigeria may not be government led, strategic and fast, but it is consumer driven, tedious, long lasting and slow.

Their comments boiled down to how the car would be charged considering the poor electricity we have in Nigeria and using an electric car would be very difficult because of the lack of constant power supply as the car needs to be powered always.
