In the 19th century, the luddites in England who were working in cotton mills destroyed the machines because they saw it as a great threat to their jobs. These workers who refused to upgrade their skills went on a massive offensive against the harmless jobs in their morbid fear of being redundant. In the end the machines triumphed as its time had truly come.
Like the luddites in the days of yore, the members of the upper chamber of the National Assembly do not want to face the reality of the changing times. Oil the world over is fast becoming endangered specie. We are sitting on a keg of gun powder with our sole reliance on it as a revenue exchange earner. The demand for our oil is fast dropping – the United States recently cut its demand for it by 89%; India looked elsewhere for its oil needs.
What do you have to say of the fact that the Global Chief Executive Officer of the Royal Dutch Shell drives an electric car? Our politicians should hurriedly wake up and smell the coffee. 2035 which Murray-Bruce proposed is not far away as it’s less than two decades from now.

Imagine if this generator which doesn’t use petrol was in every home! It would save the huge costs being spent on fuel for generators. The policy makers only have to create the environment needed for these electric cars to thrive and the ripple effects would reverberate all through the economy.
We not disputing advantages of electric cars... But we disputes lack of electric cars infrastructure and extra burden it places on Nigerians due to import duties and economic hardship. And the fact FG will be forced to give Nigerians free petrol when crude oil plummet.
