I'm sorry, but there is nothing impressive here.
Mercedes never had a plant in Nigeria. How does working in a Mercedes showroom give him the requisite expertise to run a car manufacturing firm?

I was even thinking you meant he actually worked in Mercedes car production facility somewhere.

Lolz, funny people

trutharena:


Stop saying nonsense.

The main problem of you guys is that you only believe what you see.

If I tell you Glo is the second richest man in Nigeria, you will still tell me to go and snap his factory to validate.

Most frontline media carried the businessday news, so I should ignore them and instead believe a ignorant Ibo like you?

proeast:


I agree with you it would end in premium tears for Nord, considering they're in this as a front to import CKD and market. However, as for Innoson, I see the company going places even in the near future.

1. They're already grounded with factories in place and also operates in a city that has clusters of auto parts manufacturing companies.

2. Innoson is not only getting massive patronage by Eastern states governments as well as some others in Nigeria, but foriegn countries are already placing orders while lots of reputable brands like Shell are ordering too. Likewise, it may interest you to know that Innoson vehicles are already a common sight in the East, particularly here in Owerri.

3. Innoson is already expanding and because they're struggling to meet demand and they now have an academy that will ensure that their technological advancement is localized.

4. Innoson are already operating in highly technical and specialized fields like aircraft repairs and the likes, which means their expertise is top notch.

proeast:


You can be gullible for all I care, that's your business.
It is common sense to know that these guys won't be showing us an empty warehouse with pallets and five guys sitting on CKD parts as well as a container with parts if they truly have something tangible on ground.

trutharena:


Are you blind to see the below?

Oluwatobi is among the most influential people in the Nigerian Auto Industry, winning so many local and international awards and recognitions for his contributions to the automotive industry in Nigeria and Africa. He was listed by Forbes as one of the most promising young entrepreneurs in Africa for 2018.

trutharena:


Stop hating on them. Everyone is not local like you lots and class matters a lot in business. You see the report from Businessday and other news medium but you chose to be confined to your ignorance of pictures pictures everything like local brain.

proeast:


You can continue going in circles, but I will only take you serious when you show me video or pictures of their production facility.

Nord can only decieve gullible ones like you.

lucasalves:


I wish I have enough time to explain to you how the Chinese giveth and how the Chinese taketh, if you think I'm hating or anything, look at what's happening in Sri Lanka.

Many of your points are merely baseless and feel good stories some people have been whispering to your ears.

As for your point about repairing aircrafts, please don't embarrass yourself with such claims as they merely supplied parts for repairs on aircraft. (since 2016). That claim itself is an insult to many of the engineers working with the Nigerian Air force. Any guesses as to where the parts are originally produced? many of the aircraft parts itself imported in part and passed off as Nigerian produced to rigmarole around regulations. (Please you really need to read more, we all do). It's a case of " oh we can't be seen importing Chinese products, ooops here is a Nigerian company producing it".

Technological advancement? where? when? That high demand thing is a company lie (not uncommon in the business world), in the case with gtb the true performance of the company was revealed. Expanding? the typical thing for an expanding business is build a new plant that will be central to supplying it's new market ( even you know that's a lie).

trutharena:


Stop saying nonesense.

At least we now know Innoson is assembling 100% Chinese cars by rebranding the logo.

hamzeiy:

You people have a way of rubbing your success on other people's face..even to people that wish you well.. amazingly you're not the most successful tribe in the country making this arrogance unnecessary.
Consequently just another reason why free minded nigerians like us devoid of ethnic sentiment keep wondering how you intend to rule this country without respect for the other tribes... knowing fully well that you can't do it alone.
Even the jijantic northern Nigeria knows they can't do it alone let alone a landlocked region consisting of 5 small states (I mean no disrespect). Maiduguri and Niger state only are bigger than the entire south east.
We need to be wise and respectful in our dealings, even with the enemy.
" Even in war enemies do respect each other"

3SDevLab:
Lolx why you had to do that bro?

proeast:


What crap are you talking about? What has Sri Lanka got to do with Innoson?

Did Innoson collect loans from China?
Is Innoson operating a Chinese franchise?

They're in partnership with several auto companies in Germany, China and Japan, and would easily go to another company if one doesn't agree terms with term.

Yes, they're advancing technologically and if they maintain the current momentum in ten years time they would become a regional or even global player.

lucasalves:


Yeah cos a car is made of plastic (p.s he makes plastic chairs not as parts to his cars). Get a load of this guy. I thought you should mention General Tyres and Tubes Company Ltd”at Emene in Enugu, in collaboration with his Chinese partners. (this is sourced).

It's nothing but a front for a Chinese company with a Nigerian name plastered over it to garner local support.

Iegendhero:


Lol Innoson plant where he assemble all the Chinese cars he imported in part units.

He imports the car parts at almost 0% import duty due to the law in place for part importation.

He assemble them and sell to the government at the normal price.

After which he will Call Amablason to come and snap photos and rush to Nairaland to shout made in Nigeria.

IamAtikulate:

Innoson Motors is now classified as national strategic establishment. I am sure Yoruba Moslems don't know what that means in military parlance

even chinese are number 1 in copying other people's products. Every product in the world has imitation version thanks to china yet they are growing

Become a major player? fool you sound confused. They are already a major player. Innoson is sure in business with them (not partnership). He is just the point person to garner local support for the product. If you were not so uneducated and uncivilized you will know how the Chinese loan to Sri Lanka and business men (whom citizens thought own their businesses) backfired. This is why I asked you to read more, yet you come here with blind lies after lies.

I don't see the Germans or Japanese touting this products as theirs. And side bar, BAIC you know the ones innoson is in bed with is actually owned by the Chinese government and the CCP have a huge warchest to gain relevance by buying stakes in German and Japanese companies. (pls read more, you might learn). Why do you think the U.S has repeatedly be mindful of any state run Chinese business. I know it's the bigger picture and you clearly aren't equipped to see that.[/s]

Iegendhero:


Lol, I can feel your tears.

Any Yoruba made product always look foreign because of class.

By the way, help me tell Innoson that I have one Chinese car brand that look cute that he can re-bag and resell to the Nigerian market.

This time around we will remember to change the car rims.

Gotze1:
Show any country the Chinese copy or keep quiet.

wacuc0:
You are not in the industry. Car designers are the same in the world. It could b the same car designers for the companies. All the cars always have similar designs or a little or no modification. The all come from same design companies.

RuggedSniper:
^^^PROFORCE DEFENCE in Ogun State is owned by U.S-trained Adetokunbo Ogundehin has made APCs/mine-resistant vehicles for the Nigerian Military and Police and for export to other countries since 2011 without making a noice. You will NEVER SEE the Yorubas who you were taunting in your divisive post boasting or bragging about Proforce Defence because they do NOT exhibit lack of humility/insecurities like some of you have done. Even the VERY HUMBLE Innoson boss said almost 10 yrs ago that: 'Without the BANK OF INDUSTRY loans, there will be no Innoson.' All parts of Nigeria have brilliant inventors/technology gurus... Jelani Aliyu is also one of many. PROFORCE vehicles (Pictures below) made in Nigeria and already in use in the Counter Insurgency/War on Terror operations in the North.

prince3009:
Nairaland e-warriors like Gotze1 Iegendhero RuggedSniper EgunMogaji2 trutharena are busy chestbeating that Innoson is a copycat! What has your rusted roof region "copy-catted" and produced that is patronized both nationally and in Africa like Innoson vehicles?

Noise makers!!
