Grills2Grills: Nigeria's Ultimate Automobile & Bike show is here!

Grills2Grills, Nigeria’s ultimate automobile and bike show, opens to the public over the weekend of April 2nd and 3rd, 2016, as a one-of-its-kind Nigerian exhibition of unique classic cars, super cars, muscle cars and motorbikes from private collectors and owners in Nigeria.

The event will hold at the Main Bowl of Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos. Nigeria is a country that has cars and bikes ingrained in the fabric of its culture & it remains a relevant market for the automobile and bike industry.

Grills2Grills seeks to reiterate and emphasise that culture by creating an exciting environment where owners and collectors of rare and interesting automobiles and motorbikes showcase their cars and bikes for car enthusiasts and the general public in a fun and family-friendly atmosphere.

According to Dapo Otunla, founder of Grills2Grills, the intention is to hold the event annually with the hope that Grills2Grills will become a landmark event that will bring people from across the globe to Lagos State, Nigeria.

The event will further cement the vibrant outlook of Lagos as a foremost city and state in Africa.The two-day event will showcase up close, an assembly of about 70 cars and 20 motorbikes that are rare and unique, giving guests close access in a way they may not have experienced before. 

Some of the unique cars that will be showcased at the event are:

     1. MG MIDGET (1977):  The MG Midget is a small two-seater sports car that was produced by MG from 1961 to 1979.  The first version was essentially a slightly more expensive badge-engineered version of the MkII Austin-Healey Sprite.

    2. DODGE CHALLENGER (2008):  The Dodge Challenger is the name of three different generations of American automobiles produced by Dodge.  All (7,119) 2008 models were SRT8s and equipped with the 6.1 L (370 cu in) Hemi and a 5-speed AutoStick automatic transmission.  It is the modern day muscle car.

      3. LOTUS ELISE: The Lotus Elise is a two-seat, rear-wheel drive, mid-engined roadster conceived in early 1994 and released in September 1996 by the British manufacturer Lotus Cars. The car has a hand-finished fibreglass body shell atop its bonded extruded aluminium chassis that provides a rigid platform for the suspension.

     4. LAMBORGHINI MURCIÉLAGO:  This is a sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini.  It is the successor to the popular Diablo and flagship of the automaker's lineup. The automaker's first new design in eleven years, the car was also the brand's first new model under the ownership of German parent company Audi, which is owned by Volkswagen.

     5. MERCEDES 220 SE COUPE CONVERTIBLE (1965): The date of the introduction of the W111 Series Mercedes 220 SE Coupe was carefully chosen. It was not as usual an international automobile show; this time it was the opening of the Daimler-Benz Museum in Stuttgart-Untertrkheim on Feb. 24th, 1961 and the celebration of the company's 75th anniversary. With its pillar-less side glass, a hallmark of almost all coupes coming out of Stuttgart in future, and wraparound front and rear windows, the car was a statement of exquisite taste and should remain in production till 1971.

6. VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE ("THE BUG"): The Bug is a two-door, four passenger, rear-engine economy car manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003.

The need for this kind of car, and its functional objectives, were formulated by a Jewish engineer who had his original idea stolen by Adolf Hitler after seeing the car at an auto show.  The subsequent mass production made it a household vehicle.

19 year old Nigerian Harvard Neurologist Undergraduate; Saheela Ibraheem recognized as 1 of the world's 50 smartest teens in 2015

Saheela Ibraheem was named one of the World’s 50 Smartest Teenagers, and U.S. President Obama met and commended her on this feat at a reception celebrating Black History Month.

The teenager had the honour of introducing the President and First Lady Michelle Obama at the event.

Here’s a bit of what The Best Schools website had to say about the teenager,

At just 15 years old, Saheela Ibraheem was accepted into Harvard University, which makes her among the youngest students ever to attend that school. But that’s not the most impressive part, Saheela was accepted at 12 other colleges, including MIT, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Brown, Princeton, Columbia, and the University of Chicago.

Saheela’s Nigerian parents, totally supportive of the young scholar, sometimes taught her subjects the schools didn’t offer.

Saheela believes the key to success is knowing what you love to learn as early as possible, a knowledge she says she came to at age five. “If you are passionate about what you do, and I am passionate about many things, especially math and science, it will work out well.”The teen is also interested in languages, and knows Yoruba, Arabic, Spanish, and Latin, in addition to English.

As for her own brain, Saheela claims she is nothing special. “I try my best in everything I do,” Saheela said. “Anyone who’s motivated can work wonders.”

According to news.harvard.edu- http://bit.ly/1EnBdGA

Saheela Ibraheem was accepted to Harvard College at age 15, and arrived at 16. She took ultra-tough Math 55. She was a teaching fellow for Harvard’s largest class, CS50. She introduced President Barack Obama at a reception in March. Now, she is graduating at just 20.

So she’s planning a well-earned rest.

Ibraheem is a Quincy House neurobiology concentrator with a computer science secondary and an aim for a career in academia. That means graduate school is in her future. But first she’s taking a gap year and, for once, has no specific plans for it yet.

Ibraheem, who grew up in Piscataway, N.J., has long been in the spotlight for her academic achievements. At 16, she was named to a list of “The World’s 50 Smartest Teenagers,” which got the attention of the White House. She was invited to Washington, D.C., in early March, where she introduced the president and first lady at a reception to kick off Black History Month.

“She’s like the State Department and the National Institutes of Health all rolled into one,” Obama said during a short speech. “Young people like this inspire our future.”

Ibraheem became interested in neurobiology in high school — which she entered after skipping sixth and ninth grades — when she picked up a copy of “Gray’s Anatomy” at the school library. She fed that interest at Harvard not just in class, but also in the laboratory of Emery Brown, who investigates the neurobiology of anesthesia and holds appointments at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including the Warren M. Zapol Professor of Anaesthesia at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.

Ibraheem’s parents are both numerically inclined. Her father is a quantitative analyst for a New York bank, and her mother is an accountant. She has three younger brothers, two of whom are in their first years at Yale University and Dartmouth College. Lest her academic accolades give her a big head, one brother reminds her occasionally that he got into Yale, and she didn’t.

Being younger than her Harvard classmates didn’t prove too difficult, Ibraheem said, though she recalled that one first meeting with a classmate devolved into an argument about how old she really was. Other than that, she said that being too young to buy some cold medicines or to see R-rated movies were the most significant obstacles.

At Harvard, Ibraheem has been a member of the Harvard Islamic Society, and worked with two other student groups: the Science Club for Girls, which provides after-school mentoring at the Amigos School in Cambridge, and,Dreamporte, which uses 3-D technology to teach geography and world culture to foster children.

When asked what advice she had for incoming students, Ibraheem said that they shouldn’t shy away from challenging classes, but that they also shouldn’t sacrifice sleep and free time just to study endlessly.

“There are so many new people. Meet as many as you can. Maybe try out extracurriculars you didn’t [try] before,” Ibraheem said.

Ibraheem said her Harvard experience transformed her from a shy person to someone comfortable meeting people, talking with them, and listening to them.

“[It was] definitely enlightening, transformative, unique,” she said.

“She’s like the State Department and the National Institutes of Health all rolled into one,” President Barack Obama has said of Saheela Ibraheem.

Boko Haram’s Shekau Surrenders In New Video (WATCH)

Boko Haram kingpin, Abubakar Shekau who was rumoured to have been killed surface in new video advising his followers to “surrender to save themselves.”The notorious terrorist appears to have surrendered to constant bombardments by the Nigerian Army troops.Shekau in the said video called on his followers to embrace peace and stop the fighting.The timing of the creation of the video is yet to be ascertained.Meanwhile, the Nigeria military is subjecting the new video from leader of the Boko Haram sect to forensic examinations in order to ascertain its authenticity.A top military officer however told PRNigeria that: “the ongoing campaign against insurgency and indeed Boko Haram is being intensified most especially in the Sambisa forest, and its environs in  order to further degrade and demystify  the sect and  bring them to their knees

“We are aware of the video but we are subjecting it to thorough forensic investigation. We wont take any action that can stop the ongoing offensives against the terrorists in all fronts. Every terrorist is free to surrender.“While the military is conscious of sustaining the tempo on its war against terrorism, the military intelligence will subject the undated and unverified video to forensic analyses.” The officer concluded.Shekau was last heard from in March 2015, when an audio message attributed to him was released pledging Boko Haram’s allegiance to the Islamic State militant group (ISIS), after which it rebranded itself as the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). The Boko Haram leader also issued a threat to disrupt 2015’s general elections in Nigeria.
