That Nedu guy is a busy body,FYI Innoson CEO could have established his factory in China and be bringing the cars into this country as foreign products,let's commend someone for even trying,at least he creates employment for some people,Isn't that why politicians take our stolen money to UAE and DUBAI ?.smh

A guy, NEDU, visited the compound of Innoson's Chairman in Nnewi and saw all the big cars the man is using, but his Made-in-Nigeria cars was not among. Why? See the company's reaction...

Is it right for him to be using Toyota and Range Rover? Why not use his cars exclusively to encourage us?

http://yarnvibes.com/innoson-motors-chairman-drives-foreign-suvs-want-us-buy-cars/





That reminds me of my former working place. It is a supermarket in lagos. The man also has a water factory, yet his wife will tell us to encourage customers to buy the water but meanwhile she doesn't drink the water. If it is not nestle or eva water, then she is not drinking. You can imagine people asking us what is wrong with her? If you can't be proud of your product by showing them to us to lead as examples, then i am sorry to say that I can't be a party to your game. Its like cooking and storing the food in your fridge and you still go out there to eat. What is that suppose to mean?

It's not a crime.

The CEO of BMW does NOT produce BMW. And BMW is an established brand, that needs very little promotion or publicity to grow.

That's the difference.

He drives 3 of his cars, if that's not good enough , then I don't know. You can never satisfy Nigerians. The Nedu guy probably has never had any intention of driving an Innoson Product. John Chen(CEO Blackberry)s wife uses a Samsung , it's no big deal.

Tell me , "how's the market for blackberry now?" I believe everyone is entitled to their own choices, but to start a business newly and you ain't showing people why they should go for it, menh, it's not good!

Lemme ask you, my friend, this question: " if you were Innoson , would you still drive other cars knowing fully well your car has not broken the market? Don't you know that the first and over all marketer of a new product is the owner? God bless Nigeria.

The poster might hv been one of the locals who has an axe to grind.
Innoson Chairman mainly drives his exotic IVM cars but also has a couple of other brands for variety sake (back up) if you like. Haba poster why beefing this rare Smart Nigerian.

I swear it the nigerian man ( and the black race in general) is genetically programed to hate and pull down his own very self! this phool showed no tangible evidence of his claim and even if it was true so what? state governments like delta state for example patronize his vehicles for their mass transit schemes, so who gives a f@#$ about an individual's unverified and inconsequential claims? gosh the way Nigerians behave sickens my stomach sometimes.

lalasticlala, Seun, Myd44

I think the title of this thread is misleading. Some people are commenting based on the title without even reading the twitter exchange.

The nedu guy was corrected by the Innoson. Does it mean that if he did not see his Innoson brand that innoson does not use it?
This is demarketing

The cars he builds are not as luxurious as the Range sports he mentioned, does it mean he should not enjoy his success?

This thread should be retitled in my Opinion

If any serious car manufacturer ceo had cars other than those of his company the competition would have a field day.

If Toyota was setting up shop in Nigeria, that would be a great ad for them. Even our competition use our cars. .

Who wants an unsafe Chinko car that cannot face naija roads?

Certainly not Bros innocent

There are 2 ways to look at this


1) Innosons are cars for the masses. As a man of means that he is, if he is producing cars for the affluent and not driving one of his then you can criticize him. what I'm saying is, It's not like he makes mercedes but drives BMW or drives a chinese brand instead of INNOson.


on the other hand


2) you could say it means that Innosons are really cheaply put together Chinese cars assembled in Nigeria with a different name and that the man who assembles them himself does not have enough confidence in the safety and reliability of his own product to make them his only means of transport and so why should anyone else buy them?


Personally, (and sadly) I think it's a reflection of what we all know, while we may want to patronize made in Nigeria, Innosons are cheap brands that will probably fail any 1st world safety test and no one (even the owner apparently) wants to be the human guinea pig so enter at your peril!!!


True story: I once went to a pharmacist to buy a cough syrup the brand which I shall not mention but very popular i have been taking since I was young, she gave the the foreign one and I said "no give me the local one made in Nigeria" after all is cough medicine not cough medicine? and she said it's not about the money (the difference was only N300) but when you buy a foreign branded product you can be sure they follow due processes, you never know what compromises have been made in a made in Nigeria product....her words not mine. She said, "I am a pharmacist, I know what our people do, I don't buy made in Nigeria for myself".

So it's one thing to say buy made in Nigeria, it's another to actually produce quality products that people can have confidence in and if you dont drive your own cars.........neither will I.

http://www.bmwblog.com/2015/11/06/bmws-ceo-stays-loyal-to-diesels-by-driving-a-2016-730d-as-a-company-car/

And to put your mouth where the money is Krueger now drives – as a company car – a 2016 BMW 730d. The diesel unit powering the BMW 730d and BMW 730Ld models is a 3.0 liter unit and has a total output of 265 hp. Peak torque is now 620 Newton meters (457 lb-ft). Fuel consumption and emissions are considerably lower than the previous model thanks to a reduction in weight, improved thermodynamics for the turbocharging system with VNT technology and a new common-rail direct injection system whose piezo injectors now generate a maximum pressure of 2,500 bar.


how can you expect the CEO of a company to use his competitor's products?
