The greatest burden many have suffered in the past is being jealous but many later surpassed it with a lesson that it hurts more to the one having the jealousy than the one being jealous. My big brother myplaydiary, I understand your anger, and is a pity that you allow yourself to be drown in a very big ocean of jealously. I only pity your heart u ar exposing to hypertension. Truly you need help!!!!. Innoson has made it big, a billionaire dinning with FG, Tinubu, dangote etc. The rich know themselves and intermarry irrespective of tribe while many poor citizens queued up in naira land strangulating and suffocating each other with ethnic dichotomy. Chai, many need psychiatric intervention.

Opakan2:
Lemme be honest with you..

yorubas have seen civilization more than any other tribe and will never compromise on standard and safety. Innoson can keep welding motor parts as if it's wheel barrow he's producing with no prototype or models.

Sooner or later those companies he's stealing their concept will sue him, then he'll know whatsup

I trust abok.iis, they fear ibo pass anything.. they'll rather trek than board any vehicle made by ibos

People like u make me hate this country,
Bloody bigoted.

BUTCHCASSIDY:
All this long write up. Let me tell you the truth. With the price I saw , Innoson vehicles are not affordable to evry Nigerian and the Nigerians that can afford it will prefer to buy the established brands period. cant blame them sha maybe if there was evidence or a witness to testify that the performance of Innoson vehocles are as good as the established brands then maybe...

If I was him Ill focus on making affordable cars and ensure that every household in Nigeria has an Innoson vehicle then see that the market is flooded with spare parts Not all this soliciting for contract from government
My 2 cents sha

He will find it hard to win the race bro.. And that company sells bro.. Many place order for his cars and in months, they are still building them.. Don't think he is not selling.. He is really selling at his capacity now.. Many orders are not met yet as we speak..

Affordable cars will be difficult for now due to cost of production.. When the time comes, it will be made so.. We need some things to stabilize first such as electricity etc.. His company is quite young and he is doing quite well.

... OP I strongly agree with you. The reason why there is a low patronage of Innoson vehicle is because Nigerians always prefer 'oyibo' stuff, foreign goods than there own. Nothing more nothing less.

MutantMetahuman:
30percent?

Lmao

Prove me wrong.

Very lame excuse.....innoson marketing is poor ...simple!!!!

THIS IS WHEN U RUN A BUSINESS THAT U KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ,because you have the fund

please i wanna buy. How much for the SUV

afroxyz:
If this thrash is true (which I don't believe), then Innoson has taken the most pessimistic approach. How can you tell me that providing for the military is more lucrative than providing for the mass population? What type of economics is that? Simple demographics would tell you that your premise is false. How about building cars for the public and even expanding into other African countries? This talk about the move attracting foreign firms which would set up factories here is a big lie. You obviously underestimate these brands. They have done their analysis and it's cheaper assembling elsewhere. Ford assembles in SA and ships to Nigeria. If it was more profitable to assemble in Nigeria, the reverse woukd have been the case. So my friend, before you come to the public to analyse, get your facts right. Don't talk based on sentiments

Your problem is not really a big one, you simply have comprehension problem, which you can correct by reading primary school comprehension text books and answering the questions correctly.

Autoreg did a good market analysis. I agreed with all his points except the last one. They need to step up their game by advertising vigorously. And innoson don't want to sell to the household is a big lie. They should be his greatest reviewers. Marketing starts from grass root.

Hmmm. Interesting points there. This electricity wahala alone is enough to sink one's business sometimes I wonder how manufacturers manage.

AwiLand:
Because He is an IGBOMAN..... Anything that is not done by the Masters up North supported by their Slave down South is not welcomed.

Another bigot spotted.
So someone cannot criticize a company again cause it is own by an ibo.

He is a Bigfool. Pls don't hate him. Send him to Libya

That's a lie, Nigerians will buy a Nigeria product if its of gud quality.

ChiefSweetus:

Did you read the post at all or what?!
Innoson has at least 30% of the commercial transport market share in Nigeria. If you dont know better ask somebody!

if it were to be known facts, why would I hv to ask anybody ? will you do let's bet a 100k, and I will go to a park and ask every single person there and none of them will know of innoson car shares

Innoson doesn't have a good marketing strategy.

INNOSON HAS THE BEST FOR NIGERIA. ALL WAILLERS SHOULD GO AND SLEEP.

myplaydiary:
Please if you have questions ask don't make me have to engage you, and i hope you read the post cause your comment does not reflect one who did

unlike AutoNg I love engagement, and I fight dirty.

realone2012:
To be very honest. You both have very good points!
I hardly read any article on NL, but I read the two articles this evening and I'm glad I did.

The major reason why I read the first article was beacsue I saw an Innoson car yesterday for the first time in my life in Ilorin (mind you, I live in Lagos) and I was astonished as to how beautiful it is.
When I saw the front view of the beautiful SUV, I was so interested in knowing the brand, lo and behold, I saw IVM there and I was like what's IVM again? Not until I saw Innoson written at the back, I didn't know they are the one using IVM.

This is an interesting piece, but you can't rule out what the first writer said totally, especially when it's comes to marketing your products. Bro, Innoson no dey try at all...truth be told. Even if they are producing cars for Donald Trump, given that they are still young, they need the marketing.

There are so many ways to break into a market. Like you stated above, you are trying to say they want to Differentiate their product and not be a cost leader. Even if that's what they are doing, they still need to market their products to achieve that...As the first writer stated, even Mercedes Benz dey advertise. People need to know they are here to stay. There was a time I even thought the company has liquidated.

You both have great points...and as I can see, we all want the best for our indigenous companies. I hope they can learn a thing or two from the articles!

you and op can market for innoson, what brand of car are u using? We need to support our indigenous industrial products.charity begins at home. One problem about we Nigerians, we like speaking long English when we need a summary

Typical Ibo man to them everything is all about hate and jealousy!bunch of lady boys

menzo4u:
Having read through both OPs' write ups...the second op has more knowledge and understanding of the scheme of things in the topic than the first Op (@autoreportng) and I call that a KNOCK OUT. Nice one op.

see talk. did you read the write up at'all??

I don't seem to agree with this OP with the counter thread. The market in Nigeria is very big and competitive. It's just like saying Ebonyi rice tastes so good while you can hardly find it mama Nkechi's shop. Imported rice will always find its way into our pots.
If you really want a reasonable patronage without crying wolf that your countrymen have abandoned your products, please make it readily available with a touch of quality. Save our ForEx! Not selling to the Twitter Senator alone
For how long would they want to continue to crawl in the automobile industry?

Op lacks buisness statregy. I'll never stay under because of a foreign manufacturer.

There are better ways to deal with a competitor, go to Quora and read first hand B2B plans. I don't like typing too much but your points about competing with a foreign competitor holds no water.

Please buy Nigeria, grow Nigeria. Buy from Nigerian, buy fro Innoson. God bless Nigeria.

ChiefSweetus:

Prove me wrong.

do you know what 30percent means?

entire transportation cars in lagos is not up to 30% of what we currently have in nigeria and lagos alone has over 2million cars for transportation. Has the entire innocent company made up to 10 thousand cars?

Lordsocrates:


if it were to be known facts, why would I hv to ask anybody ? will you do let's bet a 100k, and I will go to a park and ask every single person there and none of them will know of innoson car shares

"A" park huh?

You must have offered your own Statistics course at Shagalinku Polytechnic, Borno.

myplaydiary:
My write up must have hit a nerve for you to think i work with innoson, while i would love too work with them though, i however need to draw your errs to public knowledge. Your post was indeed very misleading, too bad for an auto blogger, i understand you must eat but do so with common sense, don't pull one down to exalt yourself, i would have love to educate you further but i see you are really hurting already.

Have a good evening.

The guy couldn't take some mild words, even when his initial post on fp was trash!! All that ego and he doesn't know much. Thanks for d nice and educating post bro.

malaki39:


AutoReportNG deserves commendation irrespective his flaws. He is doing a great job educating many on NL.

You were such in a hurry to bash at him rather than spending time to edit your post.
Please anger and hatred will do us no good.
Rather than try to pick on him, engage him intelligently you could learn in the process.
Next time don't be in a hurry to reply. Try to edit your work or ask for assistance.

Meanwhile an organization that doesn't respond to email isn't ready for business.

Thank you

I really like the way you put your comment, yes i was in a hurry to reply and no i never intended to bash the first OP, infact this post was first posted on the original post by the OP but then it was already on third page by the time i finished so i copied it and created a thread for it. however in regards my response to the first OP,if you are sincere i hope you notice what he tried to do with that very comment of his which i replied, if he engaged me intelligently i would have dignified him with same. yes i will still edit the post to correct the typo's however i am glad you know that they are just typo's. thank you i really loved your response some how it felt really sincere though i still feel you tried to spite me though.

BlindAngel:
Innoson cars indeed, una want make person dey drive for road then unexpectedly his tires will pull off

Dont stay in Akute and think you have seen the world. I am not talking about intra-state, which is unfortunately ruled by the 1970 scooby-doo kombi buses of VW.
When I was traversing the country by road between 2005 and 2011, i know the frequency with which i came across Innoson. I used to take pictures then, because it was amazing.
Go to Ojota at 5pm, look out for the buses from the East. I bet you, 30% is a conservative figure. The days of Mercedes as promoted by the near-moribund Anammco that enjoyed their greatest spell in the 90s (with stiff competition from Volvo) are long gone.
