"I am not only into cars, but I also manufacture a whole lot of machinery and I want to show it to leaders in this country to come in and assist me so I can teach others, especially the youth who want to learn.
"So, I am calling for investors. This is what all my strength can achieve. I don't have any plants; I just have my welding machine," he stated.
While discussing the creation of the 'Buffalo' wrangler, Sylvester who says he's a welder by profession, revealed that he built the vehicle entirely from scratch.

He acknowledged the need for technical expertise and collaboration, mentioning that he sought the assistance of a mechanic to refine certain aspects of the vehicle's performance.
"I built everything from scratch, from the design, fixed the body the engine. I am not a mechanic but after fixing the body, I called a mechanic to come and assist me. After, I decided to try it on the road. In doing so, I realized that I had to pay attention to the alignment which costs a lot of money.
"I have invested the little savings I have into manufacturing this car. So, I am calling on the leaders in this country...with the little push it will help us all of us," he added.
