Oh my word ....apart from taxing they get nothing

You get ??

Manufacturing is not the problem, the quality is. If they can produce something of better quality than the chinese, then they stand a better chance. But knowing my fellow Nigerians, we are not different from the chinese with production of inferior quality goods.

Nathan2016:


Instead of being online.. Y don't you go for apprentice in aba and learn how to produce yours, then you can add it aba made

Tolexander:


There are very nice factories in Osisioma-Ngwa. I must confess that!

cstr1000:

Over 90% of the goods coming to Nigeria from china are not of the highest quality. And yet Nigerians still buy them.
China is a global power and yet their goods are not the best quality around.
Nigeria is a third world nation and you want a UK-standard quality at the blink of an eye.
You don't know that quality improves with patronage. The machines and where-withal to produce best global standard products does not come cheap and easy.
If it was easy, china would not be producing inferior quality products which you buy.

permit:
is this the only thing Aba can give to the world especially to Nigeria,we Abians are ashamed of this little poo, as Aba boy i know this just nonsense...

cstr1000:

You are sick.
The jobs created is for who? Not to talk of its impart of currency. I am sure you will applaud it if it is from buhari.
Where do you come from, btw? Don't say it is from the south-east.
A south-east person cannot find such flimsy reasons to hate a south-east project.

Chukazu:


Am not interested in your "ownership mentality"
What am saying is do something that is catchy, every Nigerian and beyond knows the phrase "Aba-made" so why no maintain it and concentrate on the quality control.

I have watched a few of their promo videos on YouTube, and the content is virtually empty, that is what a brand minded team should focus on
.

I have been into branding business and I know little of what am saying, I have even written a piece on how to brand Aba in the past, even before this present administration as I had relative in the in the " ill-fated T.A orji's administration, so am a stakeholder too.

Standard Trust bank took over UBA Through Tony Elumelu, but they realized that The UBA brand was far bigger than that of STANDARD TRUST and decided to trade on UBA instead... That is #branding

go watching the TINAPA BUSINESS RESORT(a project that had no structure on ground then compared to Aba that is a household name) promo done during Donald Duke's administration and you can appreciate quality and maybe you can change your mindset.

Children of hate and envy are on their way coming.

Good news like this will never make front page. It's news of imaginary group that says ijaw is not in bight of biafra. After how many hours later. Maybe this thread is invisible

Nathan2016:


You are right sha.. Aba made is cathy.. But if you know aba manufacturers, you will know most of them r not well educated to know more on branding n marketing... But i believe they will get there... Smart boy... Now i know say u smart... Oya smile for me small

No need to use bold letters to state your point or do you feel insecure or threaten? Please dont. it is only a forum and we are rubbing mind.

Regarding your points, you do know that the Chinese produces most of the top phones in the industry today (Foxconn)? What am saying is that, they do have both top quality and inferior goods in China. But there is nothing wrong is wishing that we also produce good quality goods now and in the future. We don´t need the excuse that because we are a 3rd world country then the citizenry should have inferior goods. This is even a good opportunity for the made in Aba to increase it local market share by producing something better than the Chinese.

cstr1000:

No, china does not produce the top anything. Their technologies are knock-offs.
Tecno, Gionee phones are not the real thing. They are cheap knock-offs just like 90% of the chinese products in Nigeria. But then you choose to buy. If you want the real thing, go and get Apple, samsung or Erickson.
Nigeria as at now cannot produce anything of higher quality, sorry. You don't have the infrastructure, or the technology.
Even the cost of power alone is already enough hindrance. A Nigerian product with the same quality as china will cost twice as much.
Don't deceive yourself. If you keep looking for the best quality for now, then you need to keep importing.
The only sustainable way to improve Nigerian quality is to buy Nigerian products and increase their revenue base so they can have more to spend on improving quality.

DJInfluence:
Ok.. i hear you.

one last thing though, Apples and samsung phones are produced in foxconn factories
