AD Home Facts History FactsHistory Meet American Born Igbo Man Who Designed & Built A Car Called “Ikenga GT” In 1967 By Liberty Writers Africa - December 28, 2019 0 Meet American Born Igbo Man Who Designed & Built A Car Called Ikenga GT In 1967 The ingenuity of the Black man and his contributions to the advancement of humanity has remained one of our major focus here at ‘Liberty Writers Africa’. We take great pride in researching and teaching our family here of the great and noble achievements of their ancestors. Black people worldwide should always raise their heads high, knowing fully well that they have contributed more to the advancement of humanity more than any other people. The story of David Gittens, a Brooklyn born Igbo man, is one that speaks volumes of the contributions of the Black man in the automobile industry. He was an artist and designer, and was an employee of Car and Driver magazine, as a staff photographer, from 1958 to 1964. After he got married in 1964, he and his wife moved to London. There he continued his career in photography and focused mainly on weddings and advertising. He would later advance his career and started to do transportation designing. When he started, he ventured into some of the most complex designs at the time. He had a number of proposed projects, of which were a ‘gas-powered single-seat city car, an electric city car, a Reliant-Based three-wheeled car, a small car based on Mini Moke Chassis, an expandable six-wheeled vehicle, and finally his high-performance mid-engined grand touring car which he later named the “Ikenga GT“. To achieve his goals, he bought a used chassis of the McLaren car model from Ken Sheppard. The limited production of his Ikenga GT was also to be run by Sheppard. When he got into the development phase, he contracted it to Charles Williams of the William & Pritchard, which was a coachbuilding company. To finance the project, he got money through Copley’s merchant Bank. The name, Ikenga, which he chose for the car model is of Igbo origin. The Ikenga, to Ndi Igbo, represents accomplishment, success, achievement, strength, power, and justice. It is an embodiment of noble spirits, represented by a horned statue. David Gittens completed the first version of the Ikenga GT in 1967, which he modeled MK1. He restyled the MK1 into the MKII the following year, with a classic leather interior, together with a complementary set of Gucci luggage. He also added some advanced lightning features to the new model. Gittens’s Ikenga GT started to draw the attention of the larger American community, and also the international community. It was first put on display at the Banking Hall at Harrods, during the Earls Court Motor Show, in 1968. The car was seen by 30,000 people at the Banking Hall. One of the spectators offered $53,000 for Gittens to sell the prototype. Also, a Saudi Prince commissioned a unique version of the Ikenga GT – it was to be called “Bird of Peace”, at the cost of $35,000. Gittens did not have the intention of producing his cars in enormous quantities. He planned for the Ikenga GT to be a limited model, with a maximum of 100 or 150 cars, which were to be priced at ₤9000 or US$16,800 each. The promotion of the car kicked off in the United States of America, and the United Kingdom, and reached other parts of the world in no time. In April 1969, Car and Driver Magazine featured the Ikenga GT on the cover of their magazine. In the summer of that same year, an American group offered Gittens to distribute the car in the US. A day after the company made the offer, the developer, Charles William died suddenly. The death of Charles Williams was a big blow to the restyling of the Ikenga, which was then ongoing. The Ikenga MKII was been restyled to a newer MKIII. Gittens transferred the job to the Radford coachworks for the completion of the restyling, with the assistance of Roger Nathan among others. The new team were outstanding with the restyling and the MKIII was ready by October of 1969. In the same 1969, the car was sent to France, where it was put on display at the Paris Auto Show; although before this, the car was featured in an episode of the BBC series ‘Tomorrow’s World’. From France, the Ikenga GT was taken to Italy, where it won an innovation award at the Turin Auto Show. The following year, 1970, the car made an appearance at the Swedish International Motor Show in Stockholm. It is however very unfortunate that the car was recalled and seized by creditors, prompting Gittens to return to the United States. The car was then put on display at the Manx Motor Museum for a while, and then later sold at an auction in 1998, and later in another auction in 2008. Sources believe that the Ikenga GT is currently somewhere in the Middle East. It would seem that the people with the “Big money” had frustrated the works and ingenuity of Gittens. We hope that we can expand on this article and get more information as to why the “Ikenga GT” was pulled off the world stage and in turn halted. Although the Ikenga GT was stopped, Gittens went ahead to produce a line of Gyroplanes – which he named ‘Ikenga 530Z. Reports say that one of his Gyroplanes are part of the history and innovation collection at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.

mjventertainment.blogspot.com MJV AFRICA...... JAMYCO Latest News in Nigeria Today IPOB sends strong message to Ijaw Nation over Biafra Headlines Metro Why we will not support Biafra – Akwa Ibom Elders February 6, 2020 by Nwafor Ede Biafra Akwa Ibom Share this post on facebook 0 SHARES Facebook Twitter A team of Talk Nigeria reporters recently interviewed an Akwa Ibom Elder by Name Udofot Isip, who is a native of ikot ekpene L.G.A, on where he would stand if it came to a point where he had to choose between Biafra and Nigeria. He said; Although Nigeria is not going the way we want, I will still be in support of Nigeria over Biafra. Biafrans are not honest, At least that I can say. I will take you back in history, the late Biafran leader, Ojukwu Betrayed his second in command who was apparently an Akwa ibomite. He led him to his death after he had fled Nigerian and left him in charge of BIAFRA. Ojukwu very well knew that Biafra as at then would not survive Nigeria’s attack, as the Igbo man he is, he ran away to fight another day leaving his second in command to be killed. I have so many other instances, but I will stop here. He added; I would very much like to say that we Akwa ibomites, we’ll never be in support of Biafra. It’s high time we all join hands together to fix and fight this corruption that has eaten deep into the country’s future. Well, that was what he said. Now my question is, His story about how Ojukwu Betrayed his brother, is it valid ? Because I have heard this particular story in different versions, does anyone know what really happened?

Welcome to MJV AFRICA........Skip to main content News Metro Page Six Sports Business Opinion Entertainment Fashion NY Post Shopping Living Media Tech Real Estate Video Photos Covers Columnists Horoscopes Sports Odds Email Newsletters Store Home Delivery New York Post NEWS Facebook Twitter Flipboard WhatsApp Email Copy Trump acquitted on all charges in Senate impeachment trial By Steven Nelson, Mark Moore and Aaron FeisFebruary 5, 2020 | 4:19pm | Updated Play Video The Senate voted Wednesday afternoon to acquit President Trump on both articles of impeachment against him. The chamber first handily voted down the article alleging abuse of power, 52 – 48, affirming an outcome that was widely expected essentially since the trial’s start on Jan. 21. Minutes later, they voted 53-47 against the second article, alleging obstruction of Congress. The effort to remove Trump from office needed the support of at least two-thirds — or 67 members — of the GOP-controlled body to carry, but Utah Sen. Mitt Romney was the only one of the 53 Republicans in the chamber to buck party lines and vote to convict on the first article. He responded not guilty on the second article, making that acquittal a strict party-line vote. Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat in the Trump stronghold of West Virginia, stuck to party lines, voting to convict. No president has ever been removed from office via impeachment. Senators will now vote on the second article of impeachment, alleging obstruction of Congress, for which an acquittal is also expected. Approved in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives in December, the two articles alleged wrongdoing by Trump in his request that Ukraine probe former US Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, over their dealings in Ukraine. MORE ON: TRUMP IMPEACHMENT TRIAL With impeachment done, Senate must probe how this awful trial started Donald Trump Jr. posts meme calling Mitt Romney ‘a p—y’ Here’s Trump’s first post-impeachment acquittal tweet Mitch McConnell: Senators ‘cannot let factional fever’ break US Democrats alleged that that ask — made during a July 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — constituted a quid pro quo because $391 million in US military aid to Ukraine hung in the balance at the time. Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and characterized the impeachment push as a partisan “witch hunt.” Despite passing in the House, the impeachment bid was long expected to falter in the upper chamber. But seemingly the final nail in the coffin came when the Senate voted last week, 51 to 49, to not call any witnesses in the trial. Swing-vote Republican Sens. Lamar Alexander and Lisa Murkowski, respectively of Tennessee and Alaska, have said that they felt Trump committed actions that were “inappropriate,” but did not rise to warranting removal from office. Following the acquittal, both Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York), thanked the chamber’s pages as well as the presiding judge, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. SEE ALSO Mitch McConnell: Senators 'cannot let factional fever' break US McConnell presented Roberts with a ceremonial golden gavel as a token of his gratitude. “We typically award this to new senators after about 100 hours in the chair, but we can all agree that the chief justice has put in his due and then some,” said McConnell of the memento. “We know full well that his presence as our presiding officer came in addition to — not instead of — his day job across the street,” he added. “So the Senate thanks the chief justice and his staff who helped him to perform this unique role.” As for the third branch of government, Trump announced in a tweet that he would issue a statement on “our Country’s VICTORY on the Impeachment Hoax” at noon Thursday from the White House. In an earlier tweet, he also celebrated his acquittal by with an uncaptioned video clip of a mocked-up Time magazine cover suggesting he would be president “4EVA.” For 2020, at least, re-election campaign manager Brad Parscale hailed the acquittal as a greenlight to move forward. “President Trump has been totally vindicated and it’s now time to get back to the business of the American people,” wrote Parscale. “The do-nothing Democrats know they can’t beat him, so they had to impeach him. “Since the President’s campaign only got bigger and stronger as a result of this nonsense, this impeachment hoax will go down as the worst miscalculation in American political history.” Read More Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Email Copy READ NEXT New York Post Email Newsletters Mobile Apps Contact Us Tips Facebook Twitter Instagram Messenger Email YouTube © 2020 NYP Holdings, Inc.

Welcome to MJV AFRICA........*Breast cancer testimonial* RAIN's SOUL CORE, and FORM changed my life after BREAST CANCER!!! After being diagnosed at age 51 with an aggressive Stage 2 Breast Cancer and undergoing 13 months of chemotherapy, radiation treatments, multiple surgeries and complications, my health was in decline and I was miserable!! I was in constant extreme pain, overweight, with little to no energy, unable to think clearly or concentrate because of brain fog, and unable to work or do the things I loved to do or live the lifestyle I had prior to Cancer. I couldn't even go up and down the stairs without falling because my legs were so heavy and my joints were so stiff and sore! I had neuropathy in my arms, hands, legs, and feet. I was unable to use either of my arms or hands because of SEVERE pain! I could not even hold a pen to sign my name! I had to have an angioplasty procedure because the chemotherapy drugs were so strong that they caused scar tissue to form in my port vein which caused the vein to close up. My doctors told me that I should just get use to feeling this way, that some of the side effects may never get better. There was no mention of nutrition...only more pharmaceutical drugs, more tests and procedures! Two months after my final Chemo treatment I was introduced to Rain's Seed Nutrition by my good friend Marie Beecham. It completely changed my life! After drinking 2-3 packets of SOUL and CORE everyday for 2 months, there was significant relief from my symptoms/side effects. After drinking 2-3 packets of SOUL & CORE, plus drinking the FORM shake everyday for a year, my pain was completely gone, and all of the other side effects were eliminated! I had tons of energy, I lost the extra weight, and I was able to go back to doing the things I loved! I completely eliminated all medications (both over the counter and pharmaceutical). I am never sick...NO Colds, NO Flu (never a Flu shot), No Allergies. I wake up EVERY DAY with ZERO pain and with TONS of energy!! I can honestly say that I feel better than I have in over 25 years!! I became so passionate about the health benefits of Seed Nutrition, that I decided I wanted to share it with as many people as I possibly could!
