Keep in mind that thanks to the fall in oil prices....we no longer have enough dollars to do anything.their is what we call law of comparative advantage.Thue to naijas undeveloped metal and steel industry,it would be cheaper for him to import licensed engines than to produce such in Nigeria. Besides we lack such research capability.if I where him I would move a section of my plant to south Africa or even the northern African countries. 1 Like |

hamilton62: pls I need u to tell me this 70% components that are locally sourced and manufactured in Nigeria. because I noticed virtually all motor vehicle spare-parts sold in this country are imported....... if innoson manufactures these parts, why can't our ladipo brothers' patronize innoson instead of going to China to import same items we produce here...... 1 Like |

SIRTee15:go to Nnewi, thwn you will see the products made with marque; made in china, made in japan but they are made in nnewi... Not every made in china you see is their product dear! Another thing is trust in the local products and OEM right s and branding rights and specification or standards, they believe that china or others are easier to do with and more profit margin, that's their believe which might not be the yardmark. Nevertheless, remember that labour is cheap in china and power is also cheap there than here because industries depend of fuel consumption with the plants which is never cheap atleast if you were once a student or used the generator: i pass my neighbour you will ok this! |

celestialAgent:bro what people like innoson and cutix cables are doing in nnewi defies business logic.for one their is no well established gas sector in anambra to power them and,in the case of innoson he has low patronage in relation to our population(6000).innoson is right in importing his engines (from america mind you) that man can build it here especially under license but,the cost of his vehicles would be costlier or close to established brands like Toyota then,he would loss more patronage(law of comparative advantage). our money is valueless because we don't export any thing considerable we are undeveloped because our technology is non existent ,which makes me more surprised that the Fed's can't extend the same olive branch the give to some cooperation to this individuals who has the potential to truly export something and earn us much needed forex-i was even suorised to learn that innoson produces components for the airforce planes.expecting innoson to manufacture engines for a mere 6000 vehicles is thoughtless.he would do better to focus on his plastic and rubber factories. |

eduj: Thumbs up at the bolded. With the situation in Nigeria now, of what essesce will companies like innoson be if they still rely on CBN for forex to import her needed material for local productions? Apparrently, the price of the products here will be contingent on the foreign expenses, hence resulting in higher prices. Don't you think it will be better if Innoson just limit her production cap to what its raw materials can be gotten from Nigeria? Take for example, If Innoson could produce only car tyres with 90% of the materials from Nigeria for local use and export, that will not only benefit the citizens financially (very cheap), but also be a source of forex for Nigeria. Through the proceeds from the tyre exports, Innoson can then conviniently import stuffs to further enhance her production. In short, a company that does no generate forex the country but instead rely on forex from other exports to finance her heavy importation expenses is not suppose to be reckon with at this time of insufficient forex. 2 Likes |

Fawklicant: So basically, the same conditions millions of Nigerians go through. I'm not happy about the Dangote concessions. I'm perfectly happy to limit it at that person alone. There is no reason to extend it to Innoson and others. Forex isn't really that scarce. It's just pricey in the parallel market. Innoson can go there, and pass the costs on to consumers like everyone else is doing. AFterall, the imported components were supposedly just about 20% of each vehicle. Given that the delta between the official and parallel rates is about 1.2x, let him adjust the prices of his vehicles by a multiplier of 1.2 to compensate. I think the far bigger issue is that consumers are not buying Innoson vehicles in sufficient enough numbers to compensate for the current economic conditions, and that is 100% down to failings of IVM in marketing and branding. You cannot build a business that seemed perennially focused on securing Government patronage. 1 Like |

erico2k2: Oga stop trying to sound half smart. You sent me a link about fuel cell technology, a completely different approach to ICE. What is this one saying? It is just like bringing up space travel when we are still trying out helicopter travel.I studied a lil of fuel cell technology in my undergraduate years so note that the document has no bearing with what we are trashing out here. That is a technology that is still many years from maturity, a paradigm shift. The amount you are brandishing here was not even spent by just one entity, stop trying to win an argument and get educated with the facts. I have no interest in winning an argument with you, all I care is to reduce the amount of ignorance by at least a factor of ONE. We are discussing R& for ICE engines, let us keep it within scope. |

erico2k2: Brake pads are everywhere. Even in Nnewi, there are many companies that manufacture brake pads. I remember many years back when 'Power Mike's'(the wrestler) company was producing fan belts(Power rope fan belt),brake pads etc there in Nnewi and this was even in the 80s/early 90's. They had many variants including the ones that were produced using palm kernel shells. Brake pad production is not rocket science. 1 Like |

texazzpete: Sir, Forex is scarce, not just pricey. Getting huge amounts of forex from the parallel market is difficult. I know small scale manufacturers that require upwards of $200,000 almost every other month. It is pricey as well as scarce. There is diminished inflow of forex into the system from exports, travel and trade, hence closure of foreign companies. Airlines, manufacturers etc are closing shop because the Naira they earn is next to useless if they cannot convert to forex for continued operations. Those who have tried to source from the parallel market and pass the cost to consumers have not been successful at it because the purchasing power of the consumer is diminished by the day via draconian policies. We keep talking about diversifying the economy whereas the instruments of diversification are stiffled. Mind you, Dangote is building an oil refinery which thus further increases our dependency on oil. Not saying it is a bad thing to build a refinery, just that diversification of an oil dependent economy needs providing the enabling environment for other ventures to thrive. You cannot ask me to slice up some meat and then proceed to provide a hammer as the tool for the job. 1 Like |

Fawklicant: An oil refinery does not 'increase our dependency on oil'. It will provide jobs for tens of thousands of Nigerians, reduce fuel scarcity and drastically reduce pressure for dollars by stripping away the need to import refined petroleum products. The worry is a dependence on oil exports, not a dependence on refined petroleum products. You should even pray fervently that the refinery kicks off on time. |

celestialAgent: Nigeria doesn't yet have the technology to manufacture whole car engines and electronic components, so Innoson imports those parts, but they are made in his name. How can a country that can't manufacture pencils make complete cars? But you still won't call it car assembly. A car assembly plant imports ALL the parts of a car, and fixes them in their plants to make cars. Innoson on the other hand doesn't import all the rubber, plastic and glass components of his vehicles. Even the bodies and chassis of his vehicles are constructed in Nnewi. 1 Like |

erico2k2:My broda, see ehn! It will be easier for a cow to pass thru a needle's eye than for you to convince some ppu about africa' s true tech. State. I met an Igbo guy today @ lekki and we got talking. Guess what? This same line of argument. His words: only the igbos are helping this con3, by manufacturing things independently. I asked him some questions, and the next thing he asked me was: what tribe are you?. He he he! Thank God that after seeing sound logical reasoning, he changed his earlier confession to; but you know the igbos are trying. Which I definitely agree with. But fact remains, Africans are still way behind tech wise, for those if you calling Cummins engine but Nissan body, you make me laugh in ishan. Have you forgotten that these companies you mentioned are wholly owned by the races we all know to be technologically established? All you have said so far is just comparative advantage at work. 1 Like |
