Raggedy_Ann: Hyundai and Kia cars start below 1.2m even without assembling them in Nigeria and they are becomIng IncreasIngly popular amongst the mIddle class. The picanto starts at N1, 179, 000 the i10 starts at about 1m, while the getz and accent are roughly 1.4m for low trim levels. Nissan is a brand of repute and they're capable of doing what the Koreans are mastering- combining economy with class. Please do not decieve people with misinformation. Here is a brand new Kia Picanto which hit the UK for £10.245, yet you want us to believe that it starts at N1.179,000. Do you think that the car companies are in business to do Nigerians a favour by selling cars to them at cost or lower? You see, if the Kia Picanto is sold at the price you quoted, the car must have been stripped of safty features, comfort features, and made of materials which will scatter upon a major accident - materia which would be closer to plastic than the typical material used for real Kia Picanto. If you doubt what I am saying, go to any Nigerian dealership, say a Honda dealership, and take a look at the Dubai imported or South Africa assembled cars and compare to a Tokunbo and the difference will be clear. Trust me, when the manufacturers tell you that they are tropicalizing their cars for the Nigerian marker, they mean stripping them of safety features and reducing quality significantly. What you'll get for N1.2million cannot be very safe cars. What the government should be promoting is true manufacturing, i. e. from scratch. They should be encouraging our Engineers to design great products, give us uninterruptible power, and most of all, jump start Ajaokuta so that we can at least, manufacture a single nail from scratch!! Here is the £10.245 Kia Picanto:    Trust me, this is not what you will get for N1.18million in Nigeria. 4 Likes |

presher: just assumption and guess who is naivebecause it takes more than a Naija minister's pronouncement to build a car. It's not a govt official that designs a car but car companies. Naija does not even have prototype but Tata is already making one, even though it's failure as TATA recently said. U don't build cars by executive FIAT but by long term planning! This is like another " we will generate 10K MW by Dec 2013. |

ndu_chucks: All things being equal, these Smart cars which are abundantly available in India, Brazil, and even the USA, in my opinion, are the only cars which can be assembled in Nigeria and sold to the public profitably, at the N1million - N1.2million price range. OP, that's a blantant lie. @Siena, you disappointed me on this one. Kia Picanto sells for about N950,000.00 - N1,200,000.00 in Nigeria. Hyundai i10 also goes for about the same amount. In Abuja, this 2 cars are about the in-thing now with so many young car owners, especially the babes. So why should you draw conclusions on someone else' perceptions, more especially when the person lives very far away, is not realistic and his drawing his/her conclusions on baseless assumptions. Why are we so quick to condemn, but very very slow to notice the goodies around us?

ndu_chucks: All things being equal, these Smart cars which are abundantly available in India, Brazil, and even the USA, in my opinion, are the only cars which can be assembled in Nigeria and sold to the public profitably, at the N1million - N1.2million price range. Do you know that by the early 1960s, the US had begun placing stiff import tariffs on certain vehicles. The chicken tax of 1964 placed a 25% tax on imported light trucks. In response to the tariff, Toyota, Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. began building plants in the US by the early 1980s (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota). This is the precursor to why every motor vehicle manufacturer has a plant in the US. At that time the US had their own infrastructural and economic problems, but that did not deter the car makers. All of una wey no want make all the major car makers build plants for Naija na thunder go fire una Mama and Papa them. Read a little of the US history before you begin to compare Naija to the US. They (US) went through worst situations than Naija in their formative years and these were well documented, before they come the form Big Brother to other countries wey wan try arrange. |

This is a very mischievous OP who blatantly has an agenda against made in Nigeria products. Look through his post history. And FYI to those rushing to comment without even reading the post, the OP has gone to search for Indian made Tata Nanos and presented these to you as "potentially" the cars which will be 'forced' on us. So either the OP has industry inside knowledge to know that all the cars that will be produced in Nigeria will look like plastic lunchboxes or he is posting lies in pursuit of an agenda!

bfire:Even the so-called heavily industrialized countries do not manufacture all the components that makes up their entire products. Reason being that no country possesses all the required technology and even if they do have all the tech. they can't or will not because they do not have all the raw materials readily in abundance to manufacture the entire components and finally even if they have both, trade treaties could become another factor disallowing them from producing/manufacture some components because the trade treaties they must have had with other countries that can duplicate their product too must be respected.

He is deliberately posting lies and mockery to contribute to a scenario where the new policy will be shelved due to being 'unpopular'. There are many Nigerians on here who make noise about how they want Nigeria to get better and how "our leaders" are Satan the Devil etc etc, but as soon as one of these leaders does something to improve Nigeria which threatens their own individual stomach, you see this sort of horrible, despicable behaviour come out. But the truth is that Nigeria is now on the road to greatness, regardless of who is in power or whose interests are hurt. You can't stop the other 180 million of us from progressing. One by one, all of you sewer rats who just want the country to remain stuck in the same pot because you benefit from it; one by one, you will all lose your livelihoods so that millions of us can gain ours. You are not bigger than a whole country. Just wait and see. 2 Likes |

One thing i know is that if Nigerians allows car dealers to influence them against this great policy,then we should stop fooling ourselves about how great we want Nigeria to be. It means we want to remain a poor nation with high scale unemployment and low industrial base. |

Please don't listen to the OP, the OP is a troll. Those are not the cars you will get for N1.5, those cars he posted are old washed away cars. This is the range of car you will get at that price and they are very good, in fact i have one myself and i can guarantee that they are as reliable as your Toyota and Hondas, more affordable and easy to maintain. These are pictures from the internet, Please hold while i post mine. 2 Likes

Here you go! Anyone who does not appreciate the FG on this is either ignorant, selfish or an "Olojukokoro". N.B: My car is slightly above the 1.5 because of the high taxes on imported cars but this is what a N1.5 Million Naira car would look like if produced in Nigeria. Don't be deceived, this is the way forward for our great nation.

solomon111: One thing i know is that if Nigerians allows car dealers to influence them against this great policy,then we should stop fooling ourselves about how great we want Nigeria to be. Supporting the Auto manufacturing (assembly) industry is one thing, but foolishly raising tariffs on import cars by 250% while the policy makers continue to issue waivers to themselves to import their own cars is not only foolish and unreasonable, but also wicked. 2 Likes |

I own one and i am telling you from experience not hearsay. Or are you a tokunbo car dealer? Ohhh i see you're trying to protect your own interest while you subject Nigerians to poverty.

adconline: Bro it is you who don't have common sense. If taxes on imported cars is increased to at least 300%, you won't like to buy the same quality of car at a higher price and also pay exuberant taxes to the Govt. So you will be forced to patronize the local manufacturers. When the importers see that they are loosing the market, they will be forced to open their assembly plant in Nigeria which will create jobs and also enhance our local industries cos the importers won't be importing every component of the cars, they would be buying our wires, leather, textiles, rubber etc. This is ECONOMICS 101 even though i'm not an Economist. Now tell me that you are not as short sighted and vision-less as our fathers who put us in the mess we are today with their selfish, give-me-free attitude. 2 Likes |

ndu_chucks: Shut up bro, you are as weak and vision-less as your fathers who never thought about the future. These cars are as safe as your Toyotas and Hondas, these big companies are selling you their big names just as Gucci and Lewis Vuitton sells you the same $20 t-shirt for $400 and you gladly buy it to massage your ego. Why did you open a thread to deceive the public? Huh? You sit in your fathers house and see the cars they sell for 1.5 Million. NL please note that @ndu_chucks is one of the problem with Nigeria, he's a nuisance to the society and an enemy of prosperity. He should be quarantined ASAP before he lay eggs.

rudedough:He is not ignorant, I repeat. He is deliberately telling lies! He said "why allow govt cronies to IMPORT brand new cars"? This, despite the title of the thread and the policy it references being about assembling or manufacturing cars in Nigeria. So how can one import a new vehicle into Nigeria and at the same time assemble or manufacture it in Nigeria? Which one is it? So you can see these are not your ordinary Nairaland dum dums, these guys are sophisticated liars and internet propagandists and you need to analyse their posts and take them on with all seriousness. The fate of Nigeria can rest on how well you destroy their points because if you allow even the tiniest lie of theirs to get through unopposed to infect the psyche of the general public viewing Nairaland, it could become a case of the lie being repeated often enough to become accepted as true. These people are paid posters, they are not ordinary fo.ols. 1 Like |
