You are comparing apples with oranges, Twitter is not the same as Facebook and one can't replace the other; if you had said Mark Zuckerberg uses MySpace, then you will have a point. Also, AIT and NTA are different, most times they have different lineups and programming.

Siena:


You choose to see the opinion of others as daft, simply because it does not match, or tie in with yours. Your Silverbird and AIT / NTA analogies don't make sense in this context either.

The comparisons you're making are not valid. Facebook and Twitter are world-established brands. IVM is NOT even strongly established in Nigeria, it's home country. Nigeria is where IVM needs to be promoted in order to secure a decent market sector, and actually GROW.

Lastly, Nigerians need to learn to accept criticism, both constructive and non-constructive, without going all sentimental. Detroit is an automobile city, Americans are fiercely patriotic, yet they will be the first to admit American brand of automobile suck. They don't take it personal either when the rest of the world criticise them either. Today, the best selling car in North America is Japanese, with even the Korean brands snapping at the heels of the high-end American brands.

Innoson DOES need to promote his brand more, starting with himself using his products EXCLUSIVELY! IVM is way too young to rest on it's laurels, and watch the world go by.

kolnel:
That's wrong publicity
It's just like drinking star lager beer and you work in Guinness Nigeria or smoking Marlboro when you work in British American tobacco
It shows he doesn't have any confidence in his brand new wheel barrows

oladele239:
Many folks here are obviously daft...so because he produces cars means he can only stick to his brand Come on....mark Zuckerberg uses twitter irrespective of the fact that he is the ceo of Facebook....because ben bruce owns silverbird doesnt mean he cant watch AIT or nta!!!!!!!!

peterjero:

Remember he has 3 of his suv in his fleet of cars and it takes time to grow don't expect the growth to be automatic because CEOS around the world use competitors product in order to know how to outsmart them. Google just paid 1billion dollars to apple Inc recently t keep its search bar, it's what I call business the twitter user isn't a business man so won't understand why he drives other cars. The engine of ivm cars are sourced from other manufacturers so in order to create good engine management system (ems) you need to understand the dynamics of others cars that came before it.

Even D CEO of BMW drives a Mercedes Benz.

It's not a crime.

tiwasiaife:
he uses a white innoson carrier hilux as his official car stop this false news.

mehn this guy is tactful. imagine him saying ''are we to have other cars for back-up ''...

AlPeter:
dude chill, you are taking it personal. The CEO is wrong imagine a customer about to order for a fleet of cars seeing the CEO driving a Toyota. Do you think he will order for them again? Innoson is a young company trying to grow people are understandably skeptical, seeing the CEO driving around in foreign cars is wrong

Siena:


How does your analogy relate to this thread? The comparisons here are becoming more bizarre with each additional post. Facebook, Twitter, Marlboro, Benson & Hedges, Silverbird, NTA etc. Now it's Okra Soup.

lookandlaff:
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.

Well, that he owns Innoson doesn't mean he should dump his other cars now, does it?

Someone from Innoson had replied that the man drives the Landmark SUV. Actually, it will cost him very little to drive and maintain any brand of Innoson vehicles because servicing and spare parts replacement would be very easy for him. He is the one person with the most confidence to use this brand, due to this convenience. That's simple logic.

Dild you expect ALL the vehicles he drives to line up for your inspection because you visited his home?
