May God give you the grace to deliver on your promises and may he guide you against your enemies in Jesus name

whether some persons are bold enough or not to admit the truth doesn't change the fact that yemi is a better leader than Buhari.

Enough gains would have been made already if he can perform the function to his standards and not a go not bounded.

Money will always be a huge challenge for any entrepreneur who owns a new business. It is never enough. So, as a new business owner, there are some money mistakes you should not commit no matter the kind of business you are engaged in. If this happens, you will discover that you are just throwing unavailable resources at your business without having the desired impact. Jumia Travel shares some of the money mistakes you should commit to memory if you own a new start up.

1. Having a combined personal account and business account
Whether you are alone in the business or in a partnership, it is important for you to separate your personal account or money from the business. This will not only help you know the viability of your business, you will be aware of how much the business is making. Even if you collect money from your personal account to invest in the business, don’t forget to return it.

2. No budget for your business
For any serious new business with long term goals, it must have a pragmatic and realistic budget. A budget that is not above the available capital. The budget simply tells you how to spend money and the things you need to spend on. Ensure you strike out the things that you don’t critically need for now.

3. Making big purchases
You are in the teething stage of your business, so you don’t need big purchases even if you have bottomless finances. Buying cars, computers and going big on advertising is a no no for any new businesses. It is advisable to be strategic in spending and leave the big purchases for later.

4. Not saving for emergencies
You don’t know when a business emergency will happen. Hence, you always want to be prepared for it. This means that no matter how much you are making, ensure you save for unforeseen circumstances. This is important for small businesses if they want to survive the growing stages of their business.

5. Not paying taxes and utility bills
As a new business owner, you are tempted to avoid payment of taxes and utility bills. But know that you may escape it now but you will unarguably pay for it later. So, pay your taxes and utility bills as at when due to prevent it from piling up and avoid paying unnecessary fines that come with late payment.

https://www.nairaland.com/3658014/why-nigerians-not-buying-innoson

OP while it might be safe to say your finding are correct on the surface but, in reality they are totally and flat out wrong, now Innoson is a businesses man and have professionals whom he pays hundreds of thousands of Naira to keep his business afloat and up par with blue chip companies in his line of business. Deep down in you mind do you really think Innoson or the numerous employees on his payroll don't know all these this things you listed up there i could even add more to make that list "10 reasons why Nigerians are not buying innoson cars".

Now to tell you your mistakes where you are wrong and why Innoson and his numerous employers are not paying attention to any of the things listed up there. First Innoson as an indigenous car manufacturing company is still quite young and in its Nursery stages, for this reasons they are not competing or want to be seen as competitors with any of the other leading foreign brands, we will get to why later.

Secondly, Innosson cannot even meet up with the demand on their hands and even take months and in some cases a year and some months to meet up with demands from some client customers, in most cases Federal, State government and many major transporters, many Nigerians don't know this, Many commercial inter-state buses you ride are actually innosson buses but frank be told you cant tell the difference.

In addition, should innoson, do many of the highlighted as mentioned by the OP he is shoting himself in the foot and indeed sending a signal to foreign car manufacturers who will see the prospect in setting up car plants in the country and in the long run throw the innoson car brand into the Abyss of One time Indigenous car Manufacturing brand best deal he will get is that they will by his plant over or partner with him but name changes.

Going forward innoson right now can only be the under-dog get a small niche whether from federal, state government or Transporters a niche is a niche, we can see he is extending to the military, and if you observe, the truth is innoson is not really interested in selling to individuals as that is the fastest way to kill the brand before it gains any relevance, you might be thinking how's that, Good question, Social media; with the current social media trend, one could buy a innoson vehicle when it gets a flat tire he goes to social media to rant how innoson vehicles cant go a km without a flat tire, she runs her battery down, the goes to social media to rant how her engine knocked cause the car cant start you cant imagine the list is endless, Even a Nigerian senator was guilty of this after using a car for 3 years with one issue. Then you can’t rule out the bad belle factor.

Innoson needs references, client and customers whom can give his business credibility, when he achieves this the growth of his car brand becomes organic and he would not need to do too much to prove to people that his car brands are reliable, he will simply just reference them to high worth groups, companies and agencies using his vehicles and their testimony will sell his cars, also if you do business the first rule is do not do business on sentiments, don’t say you have friends that will buy your products when you make them what if they don’t or what if when those products are not available your friends are Not, Innoson understands this so he is not creating his car for only the Nigerian market as he is already selling to Ghana.

Then talking about his car looking like other cars that is normal with technology, you make your product look like the trending one, look at the Mobile phone industry, the auto mobile industry, Computer industry, i remember you even posted an article her detailing why BMW and Mercedes Benz always have resemblance, these are called borrowed tech normal, totally Normal with any tech industry, call me one car brand i will tell you the next that looks like it and uses same spare parts.

Then coming to the Innoson wagon it has Not even been released or lunched yet it still in the works cut it a slack let them pull it out first, secondly that car was and is being specifically created for NASS, Yes the National Assembly, and we all know those guys do it big, so if Innosson cant offer Big they cant do Innosson its as simple as that. I hope my post has been able to correct the general mindset of Nigerians and Nairalanders that share the same thought process as the OP.

I could continue on and on and on but let me stop here because i know nairalander like it short well i apologize this is already a long post.

fuckingAyaya:
even the vegetable president does not obey court orders,infact Nigeria is no longer a zoo is now an EVIL FOREST

ammyluv2002:
Thank you Holy Spirit for taking control

HungerBAD:
Evil people.

Imo State?was that not where the infamous Otokoto Ritual happened some years ago?

This Ritual thing is spreading like a wildfire in Nigeria now, and it is not restricted to any particular tribe.

Two weeks ago in Benin,a hunchback was killed for ritual purposes. Same two weeks ago,a young guy beheaded a 12 yr old boy in Ekiti for Ritual,and this morning we woke up to the one in Imo too.

This is a time,we need to call our loved ones indoors and educate them on the need to be very careful. Girls,especially the undergraduates who I think love earthly possessions,seems to be easy picking by these marauding ritualists.

Biko girls,no follow who you no know enter motor go overnight because of I-Phone7. Your head is worth more than the phone you want to WOW your friends with.

basilo102:
One source said Mr. Buhari’s treatments had been compounded by his age, which his UK doctors believe to be more than 80 rather than his official “age” of 74 years old.


Whenever you complain that Buhari is too old to rule nigeria, zombies be like "these Ipod yoots support Trump and Atiku who are 70" and i laugh at their mumuness. Who told these zombies that bubu is still in his 70s?? A man who joined army without certificate, and you think he did not also cheat with fake age?? Bubu na Ancestor

princemillla:
This matter is quite sensitive but then it's imminent to give credit to whom it's due to.... This is not 1985 that all thumbs up due to idiagbon was a cruel to sai baba.

We are now wise#

WINNERMENTALITY:
Nigerians una still they wait for messiah Buhari where the world see us as unlearned for voting an illiterate, unhealthy and old man in 21st century...

They would just say Africa has dark brain

HONKONG are voting for representatives around age 30 and below while we aim for 69 and above.

Why won't we be a laughing stock

SalamRushdie:
Buhari doesn't have the ability to learn that's why he didn't learn a thing from his disastrous outing in 1984 and stupidly came to give a repeat performance in 2015 ..

Love Machine:
They drove through Various checkpoints all the way from taraba state where police,soldiers,customs and frsc have mounted stop and search on the roads down to Delta state until ordinary vigilantee found those arms on their possession and arrested them.Jez!

TippyTop:
Bubu logic: Buhari gives gift but others give bribe.

Onechancearmy:
When PDP does it, it's a bribe

When the dullard does it, it's a gift

Thewrath:
Simple.
It's a gift if it's from a northerner.
It's a bribe if it's from a southerner.
You can thank me later at the galleria in abuja .

Buhari and the judge are corrupt elements.

Like Pete like Rawlings. We need a Rawlings in Nigeria to help us weed off these bad eggs called polithiefians...

We need men like Rawlings right now in Nigeria

That is just the fact.
They can never speak with one voice which is why they fall prey to inferior people with inferior strategies.
Go to lagos, they are more Yorubatic than the yorubas. In the north, they are more northern than the northerners.
You will see an Igbo man spending billions in lagos, and you will wonder if the idiott has gone nuts.
A very sad situation.

aloziedaya:
The Igbo's are the only tribe in Nigeria that believe in 'one Nigeria' and that is where their problem lies. If you are dealing with a Hausa man, he first thinks of his religion and ethnicity, a Yoruba man thinks of his ethnicity first but an Igbo man thinks of one Nigeria. If you come to the east you hardly see any structure built by a Hausa man or Yoruba but, travel all over Nigeria the Igbo's are developing them bearing in mind the 'one Nigeria' syndrome.
The Igbo man's quest for wealth has robbed him of his sense of belonging. That is why they develop other cities while theirs lay bare. Lagos today is developed by the igbos. Imagine what would happen if the igbo businesses in Lagos are in the east. Every major market in Lagos is dominated by them; ALABA INTERNATIONAL, TRADEFAIR, COMPUTER VILLAGE, LADIPO AUTO MARKET, BERGER AUTO MARKET, IDUMOTA etc. These are the backbone of Lagos state. They'll tell you that the seaport is in Lagos but, the largest motorcycle spare parts market in Africa is in Nnewi and, it is striving without any seaport in the east.
Have you imagined what would have happened if these markets are dominated by the hausas? Or the Yorubas dominating these markets in another state? Of course they would have transfered them to their areas.
Igbo's need to rethink and realize their mistakes. Develop your own. If you make billions in lagos and the billions are still reinvested in Lagos, you've not made anything. Aku ruo ulo amara onye nwe ya. Igboland will develop when we make wealth outside and send it home. The houses you build in Lagos because of the appreciation rate of Lagos can be built equally in the east to boost the appreciation rate there. Lagos is appreciating because you've developed it, do same down home.
Politically, Igbo's are marginalized because they are seen as divided people who cannot come together with one voice.

2ruink:
Truth and only the truth. The Igbo are badly marginalized and others said it's fair.

And now PDP are in for some big trouble
