Siena:

That enemy-of-progress tag is wearing thin.

You need to learn that regardless of how good anything is (including Innoson's progress) not everyone will share your views. Yes, this is a start, but without criticism, there will be little progress. Look back on Skoda, back in the early 1980's, with all the jokes and negative press they received. And now look how big they are today. The same goes for TATA.

Every businessman should be able to take criticism, constructive or otherwise. Revel in the positives, and find ways to turn negatives into positives. So in short, look into why certain areas are criticised, and work on them. I doubt Innoson has an attitude like yours, otherwise he'll be in serious strife.

Innoson should be criticised, so their products improve, period. Any businessman who is surrounded by "yes men" is in trouble.

big_smoke: i very proud this is happening in my country every great auto company had a humble beginning Honda started from motorcycles look at where they are today but inosson needs to put its self on the world map it should start by conquering the nigerian market and giving the japs and Koreans who are dominating the Nigerian market a run for their money.they need to spread all over the country and not restrict themselves to the east especially lagos and abuja where cooperate establishments are most abundant can patronize them inosson should be all over the bill boards there should be adverts all over the tv demonstrating the strength and reliability of their cars the should try and affiliate themselves with the likes of elizade,coscharis and others they should sponsor televised shows the likes of maltina dance hall project fame,ultimate search etc and donate their cars to the winner. i Googled inoson and they don't even have a website its not even on Wikipedia the companies marketing department is doing a very bad job. i wish them well

hurricaneChris: Fantastic!

jomonic: Quality is very critical to the success of this enterprise. How is it guaranteed? Do they produce vehicles and sell just like that? Which government or international bodies are checking to ensure that the processes are safe and standard. Who is confirming the integrity of those welded parts for instance.

pendusky: SON is ther! do you thnk they wld just manufacturing withoutt their cnsent?

jomonic:

I wonder if SON saw those people working with their bare hands, wearing flowing shirts, no goggles etc. Besides the impact of SON is to the best of my knowledge perfunctory. Are they really interested in the goings on around the industry in Nigeria. Mere consent is not just enough my dear that is even if they care.

rhymz: Guy if you don't know something don't be talking with intoxicating confidence as if you have it in good authority. Are you saying government will just let them roll out vehicles without setting standards, what has the safety standard of workers got to do with the quality of the vehicles, sometimes you "siddon look critics" address issues with simplifying ignorance and confidence. I have ridden in his luxurious buses before, they are just as good as their counter parts from Europe and Asia. What the man needs is encouragement and constructive criticism that aims yo correct not the fault finding nonsense many of you living off parents love to do.

jomonic:

You talk with greater ignorance to suggest that safety has no link with quality. It only shows your own limitations here and you better shut up. To me it is not right his workers are not equipped with even basic safety wears while at work. This despite the fact that the company was receiving important visitors from the government on this day. It shows how poorly they care for their workers. For you it is not important because all you care for is that they have produced a vehicle and it is on the road and if someone lost an eye in the process it is all OK. Rubbish.

rhymz: Guy shut the hell up and explain to me how workers safety affects the quality of production, obviously you know nothing about working in A production firm or factory, you can pretend all you want bit I challenge you to explain to us how not observing 100 percent safety lowers quality of work, if you can't do that then shut the hell up and limit your rant to talking about safety standards alone instead of indicting the whole product.

jomonic:

I have no intentions of going into further arguments with you. As I can perceive that you are among the blackest forms lurking in this forum. From your tone neither reason nor logic will appeal to you. But then I have not indicted the entire product as you hinted. As a matter of fact I am proud that such a one like Innoson is there as a trailblazer. In your own world the safety of workers do not matter in the factory, but in the real world it does. Who knows the kind of factories you have being to or working at that is making you have this limited vision. Employers are under legal obligation to make provisions for the safety of their workers and it is a non conformance where they don't. But I believe Innoson group will improve in this area as they march on to become a world class auto firm. Whether you like it or not it is an area they must improve on. I am sure the man himself will find my idea astute.
