Seems to me that the one shown in the advert picture looks much better than the one being unveiled!

Ok maybe they should add more pictures for a proper appraisal

Because they assemble here?

Don't die of hypertension.

What else do you want them to do here?

All cars are assembled. Parts of cars are manufactured by different companies depending on their area of specialty.

Calm down. You don't want it in Lagos?

They shouldn't be afraid to put the most important thing there....

PRICE!!!

At 8 - 15 Million Naira or even more, they know 90% of Nigerians can't afford it. Sad angry

Can 90% white people also afford it? Is it not financing them they do up and down?

But why?

How is this an achievement for Nigeria? rather it's an achievement for Kia since its easier and cheaper to ship car parts than fully assembled cars.

Because it forms part of Made in Nigeria products

Because it reduces the number of imported cars and thereby saves our FX spending

Because it gives us more favourable balance of trade

Because it creates employments

Kia ??

Sorry, we only know innoson motors

Innoson motors is the real deal, others are wheelbarrows

You and who knows innoson?

Does your friend use Innoson

Does your father ( sorry for this) use Innoson?

Do you use Innoson cars?

Innoson, whether you admit or not, is a local brand while KIA is an international brand with presence in over 50 countries, to be modest.

So, take that bitter pile, friend.

uh? You might be right...Even with financing,

Our minimum wage at $38, when will you complete payments on a Toyota Camry ($22,000) base model ?...

I didn't even add the cost of importation.

Compare that to America's minimum wage...and get back to me grin

Car assembly means jobs,taxes and cheaper cars. Car parts are made in china and assembled in the US, so i don't know whats bugging some people. When you hear car manufacture or any kind of manufacturing for that matter, it entails the assembly of parts from different companies eg tires from pirelli in italy, engine parts from kia, electronics from toshiba, music/speakers/video from bang and olufsen etc. Same with smartphones, processor from quallcoom, antenna/nfc et al from blackberry, camera from carl zeiss etc. And lest i forget, nice policy thrust from GEJ. His trade/investment minister spent time/energy on this...

Well I have never been to america but in Canada, I won't expect you to be getting $13/hr and go for such latest car and start financing where u have lots of bills to pay rent, hydro, phone bill, internet, gf and car bill join. How person go survive with that?
90% Nigerians can also afford d car if govt can intervene

Let us assume you remove $ 10 from your 13/ hour for taxes, bills etc. Multiply $ 3 by 8 hours a DAY = $24 AFTER tax.

That is almost what someone else here in Nigeria would make in 1 month BEFORE taxes.

Hope you now see the gap in your initial argument? It is hard to buy a brand new car anywhere. But far more difficult, here.

[quote author=veraponpo post=56231306]

Because it forms part of Made in Nigeria products; a car assembled in Nigeria isn't a made in Nigeria good; it was made wherever the parts originated from. I hope u know that most of not all motorcycles on Nigerian roads are assembled in Nigeria. Yet there are no made in Nigeria motorcycles.

Because it reduces the number of imported cars and thereby saves our FX spending; the imported parts were bought with FX, or better still the money used to buy the supposed made in Nigeria car. Would still return to Kia motors abroad.

Because it gives us more favourable balance of trade; what??

Because it creates employments; Well I can agree with this one.


Well my main issue with this is how the op is hyping the "acheivement" like its one kind of landmark event

I love this.. Please God pick up my Cal sir
What exactly is the call for?
So u can start assembling recharge cards or what?

On a serious note, a country like 9ja should have a plant. And not just an assembly ground.
It's just like buying food from a fast food joint and eating it at home thinkin that u're now a good cook.
