Don't delude yourself, Kenyans don't produce or even assemble cars , perhaps you are waiting for foreigners to do it for you first.
Nigerians produce everything, from cars to laptops, phones and even tractors. The next man in my story is an example, take a deep breadth and wait for it, l have time for you today.

Daejoyoung:

So is this assembling or production? because the likes of lnnoson, Proforce, etc all have these plants and yet you insist it's just assembling alone.

Unfortunately for you nobody really bother to dig out where these desperate Nigerians emanate from - north north or south south those Nigeria terms really tickle me every time I hear. Now you're going to tell you're come from middle of middle of middle belt - which also happen to be in middle of northern - which also is Nigeria north?

Nigeria is divided into basically 6 regions by geo-political zones. 3 to the south and 3 to the north.
These dividing lines have a lot of cultural differences and differences in reasoning/outlook to life.

I won't talk about the 3 divisions of the south.

However, for the north, we have the North-west (also known as the core-north and this is dominated by the Hausas and Hausanized fulanis, they are overwhelmingly muslim in population and extremists muslims too) .

The North-central (also known as Middlebelt region) is dominated by minority ethnic groups who are predominantly Christians and liberal predominantly educated muslims. This is the region I am from.

The last region the North-east region is like a hybrid region between the north-west and middlebelt. Divided between Hausa-fulanis, christian and muslim minorities, both extremist and liberal muslims.

Sometimes the north-central (middlebelt) is not regarded as northern Nigeria. It is regarded as central Nigeria, but when we go back to colonial identities of the old northern/southern protectorate divisions, it falls under northern Nigeria.

Nigeria you know has ZERO patent filled at WTO

rvp2018 didn't prove anything, he was just blabbing as usual with half knowledge. There's nothing fake about lnnoson, his plant is there at Nnewi.

Innoson Lied: Admits to spreading false information about GTBank and court judgment

Innoson has today admitted that there was no Supreme Court Judgement Against GTBank. After falsely claiming a victory at the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Chairman of Innoson Motors, Dr. Innocent Chukwuma has admitted to completely distorting the directive of the Supreme Court and publicly apologised for spreading fake and malicious news. Innoson had earlier deleted his declaration on social media that the apex court has ordered GTBank to pay him N14bn within 14 days.

This was followed by a statement by his spokesman Cornelius Osigwe in which Innoson walked back from his false declaration stating instead that “There have been a lot of misinterpretations on the Press Release published by Innoson Group on the decision of the Supreme Court”. This retraction, judicial analysts believe, was advised by Innoson’s lawyers who fear that contempt of court charges on defaming the Supreme Court may be brought against the embattled businessman.

Fake guys all the way

I have been to the core north and I know they can pull themselves out of poverty when they are ready. They've got this massive agricultural potential that if hinged to agro-allied industries can really help them. And like you rightly pointed out they need to do something about the kind of culture which limits them and pulls down the rest of Nigeria statistically. They need to embrace modernity.

How i wish our govt will do every thing possible to save this guy. I bet u, if Nigeria engage them in political row,they will kneel down and beg their big brother. They shld ask SA and ghana. Tears roll down my cheek. Please lets make noise until his matter is addressed. Thanks my fellow nigerians, thanks seun,thanks nairaland.

my memories of East Africa all i see is Masai, so these nak ed bush dwellers have started insulting our businessmen abroad

Sometimes, you just don't understand these core-northernerns and their ways.
Do you know that some of them you see on the streets looking poor are actually millionaires? I was shocked the day I was at an ATM queue and one of them who looks like a typical Mai ruwa came to check his account balance and it was running in the millions. I thought I was the only one who has experienced this, until I heard many other people saying something similar at different times.

Their problem is just lack of western education and this highly class-based society of theirs. Apart from farming, these people are also very good traders!
Do you know how much they make in sales for foodstuffs they transport down to the south to sell?

We middlebelters tend to be poor in trading skills. These core-northerners come to buy our farm products from the village markets very cheap and transport them elsewhere and make huge profits from the labour of our people.

Here's the reason why they hardly leave poverty. 2 poor rural northern youths, one from the middlebelt and the other from the core-north make it to the city and make their first 200k.
The core-northerner would rather prefer to go and marry a new wife and give birth to more children while the middlebelter who would have obviously finished secondary school before he left for the city would go back to his place to further his education or re-invest that money into something else to make more money. Marriage would definitely come later.

They just have this belief that some people were destined to be rich while others were destined to be poor. And if you were born amongst the latter, don't try to fight your poverty, just continue therein and pass it to the next generation.

Many core-northern leaders are now giving preference to western education, so let's see how it plays out for them.

You claim he manufacture 70% of those car - please kindly show me ONE SINGLE PATENT he has filled. Nigeria you know has ZERO patent filled at WTO

And if you don't like hearing from a Kenyan - here are fellow Nigerians on nairaland tearing it apart

Kindly learn to manufacture a bolt - before you go for high tech manufacturing - that China is not even there yet.

rvp2018:
Sounds complicated.Basically all those regions you describe exist "nowhere" - officially Nigeria is divided into 36 states.. It's more accurate to divide Nigeria first by religion - muslim north & christian south. Then by 3 tribes - Igbo & related (christian - South East -Biafra- Oil), Yoruba & related (mixed -muslims & christian - South West - Lagos), Hausa & related (muslim -north - Abuja-KANO - Boko-haram - fulani cattle herders).

Daejoyoung:

The Core Northerners have very good sense of business, but we don't know because we look down on them due to the general illiteracy there, if only they would embrace education they would produce a few more Abdul's and Dangote's.

The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has attributed the excessive quest by Nigerian youths to engage in illegal migration to poverty and unemployment.

The Emir made the remark on Thursday in Kano when the President and members of Pan African Institute for Global Affairs and Strategy (PAIGAS) paid him a courtesy visit.

Dude stop disgracing Kenya here, these type of businesses are in almost every country. Gosh.

Are you not ashamed of telling lies? What is a picture of Palmer's cocoa butter doing there?

Palmer's is an American company for crying out loud! Since when did it become Kenyan?

Daejoyoung:

My man, brands of soap and body creams are in almost all countries by local business men, not just in Kenya or your small East Africa. l believe the Kenyans here are even ashamed. lf these brands are that big then why are they only in East Africa? Dominating the East African market and some parts of Central Africa is not a big deal. Nigeria has so many of her brands too, but isn't it shameful that you think this is an acheivement for Kenya.

Nowenuse:


Thank you.

I have one question to ask all the Kenyans here. I have asked this question in the past and did not get a reply till now.

Can Kenyans show us any Kenyan products or services in the Nigerian or even West African market?

How does Kenya affect the life of the every day Nigerian?
Any Kenyan companies in Nigeria? Or even West Africa?
Anything?

rvp2018:
Kenya FMCG have their own brands and also manufacture brands of leading companies - on contract - they don't go to china - get counterfeit substandard products & re-package it - and claim to manufacture them like most of Nigerian conmen "industrialist" do.

Haco Industries is a manufacturer of consumer products. The company has a strong product portfolio of international and local brands, including Societe Bic, (Ballpoint pens, shaving instruments, high profile pens), Alberto-Culver, USA (TCB, Motions, St. Ives), Imperial Dax, USA (Dax Pomade, Lanolin, Kocatah), E.T Browne Inc., USA (Palmers) and Jeyes, UK.

Haco industries was bought recently by Tiger Brands of South Africa --- and it's very likely whenever rich Nigerians buy from Shoprite - they are buying made in Kenya good. The nigerian "middle class" apparently shop in their kiosk.

yet manufacturing is bigger in Nigeria than Kenya... Yet the richest man on the continent was made from manufacturing in Nigeria

dysfunctional yet we dey run things for una country, we don make am our 37th state. Clown!

Online shopping - the total revenue Jumia make in Nigeria is how much . Trust me in E-COMMERCE we beat Nigerian 10-nil.

Nowenuse:


So, do Kenyan business men lack ingenuity to the extent that all they do is reproduce American products?

This doesn't make any sense to me. Nigerians take pride in our own products which was started from the scratch by our own business men and not the reproduction of American businesses. That is thrash!

If I had not caught you and exposed you here now, you would have not brought out this long epistle to explain that all you guys do is reproduce American businesses.

Shame!

Mind you, Nigeria's middleclass and even many low income Nigerians have upgraded to online shopping and left you Kenyans stuck in the era of malls which began about a century ago.
You guys should join the train of the 21st century and make Jumia (the Nigerian owned no 1 online shop in Kenya and the entire Africa richer)
