Nigeria made Honda accord was officially launched today at their production plant at otta ogun state.

.

WOW

Nice 1, hope the price will be nice too

That's cool.

How nice , I just hope Nigerians will place value on it because we prefer imported goods to Locally made ones even if they're of the same value and you won't blame us much , we're tired of fake things.

How on earth would this car be cheap??

Would they really make the suspension to meet Nigerian Road standard, if they do then they ve hit jackpot.

One of the good policies of our ex president paying off

Wat good is a policy if d middle class cannot afford a brand new made in nigeria car at an affordable price or even have a lease plan to acquire one...a policy indeed

More jobs will be created....and I think that's what we need right now

more job creation only when Nigeria n's can afford it.

No president initiated anything. Investors saw a viable business climate and decided to plug into it.

Oga, without the enabling policies, NO Investor would come in. Let's put political sentiments aside and face the reality.

It is the policies that encourage investments both Local and Foreign.

Oga, these policies that has encouraged local assembly of automobiles in Nigeria has created jobs for the local market. It would reduce the cost of buying a brand new car thereby encouraging more people to acquire new cars instead of tokunbo cars.

In as much as it hasn't benefit u directly, it has benefited many others.

It is a common misconception to think that locally made goods are just as good as their imported counterpart. In this case, I will pick an imported accord over the naija made one. Here are my reasonings:

Manufacturing standards of where the imported Accord are made are higher and more stringent than the ones here.

The top of the range of the naija made accord will not be able to stand next to say a Yankee or UK spec. Well, they can park next to each other but the imported one will have better options and extras.

The new accord made in naija isn't exactly new accord. Allow me to explain o before una bite my head off. The naija accord is probably based on an existing or older platform. No way Honda will go to the drawing table and design one from scratch for an emerging markets because the cost is probably too much and the locals do not have enough money or purchasing powers to buy it even if Honda were to go ahead and make one.


With regards to emission laws, UK, US et al have one of the stringent requirements around. Over here, there is probably nothing to stop the manufacturer cutting corners. So yes you can have two identical cars but different engines when it comes to emission. Etc.

Abeg make I stop.

Mind you, I am not saying it is a bad thing that Honda is making or assembling cars in naija but let's not fool ourselves and think that it is on the same level as the imported ones. Lol. Them no dey the same level rara at all.

Gej ogi nwe aka.

Making the car isn't the problem, buying the car is actually the problem.
