Who is afraid of competition? Innoson is already swimming against the tide with the non regulated influx of tokunbo cars into the country. Innoson do not need 100% of the Nigeria auto mobile share to thrive. He is doing well at the moment, maintaining his market share and trying hard to expand. His newly launched automated plant tells the story of progress.

With a population of 200 million people, there is enough room for everyone to operate, biko.

How does Innoson comes into this matter sir?

IGBOSON1:


Not denying the virtues of competition in a market-driven economy and how it’s ultimately good for the buyer, but it wouldn’t have escaped the attention of many that it’s only when it comes to a business your envious and bigoted self thinks Igbos are leading in that you’d bring this argument of: ‘competition being good for the masses as it will drive down prices, hence Dangotes’ entry into the Nigerian automobile industry will benefit all’!

How come the so called ‘competition’ in the cement industry (of which Dangote is a key player) hasn’t driven down prices!?

It’s all about greed of the muslim core north hegemony.....wanting to be a ‘leading player’ in ALL commanding heights of the economy, and not wanting the Igbo (who you have designated ‘conquered nyamurees’ by virtue of the uncivil war) to be the leading player in ANY prominent industry/sector in Nigeria!

You did a number on Ibeto and succeeded in sidelining him in the cement industry!

You may be smiling outwards towards Air Peace, but inside you’re bristling with fury that a ‘nyamuree’ has the ‘temerity’ to be the market leader in the aviation sector, hence you’re determined -come hell or high water...by fire, by force- that you must launch that your Air Nigeria before Buhari fcks off in 2023...and corner most of the lucrative international routes as well as airline slots at major international airports just so you can undercut Air Peace! Does anyone actually think those useless rumours of the US wanting him extradited came outta nowhere!? It was to try and sully his reputation and that of his airline!

INNOSON went through similar travails...was hounded and harassed, with his wife slapped by Nigerian security personnel, just because he ‘dared’ to take a bank to court! He has equally been noted on numerous occasions to bemoan the fact that FOREX is difficult to get at gov’t rates! Meanwhile, Emefiele and the CBN are falling over themselves to give Dangote all the FOREX he needs at favourable rates!

What i see here is nothing but GREED by Dangote! He wants his fingers in ALL pies that matter...certainly, those ones where a Igbo seems to be the market leader! It’s all driven by the belief that THEY and THEY ALONE should control ALL the commanding heights of the Nigerian economy!

What is all this long epistle for?


In the early 1980, when Peugeot Assembly , Nigeria (PAN), Kaduna, Volkswagen of Nigeria ,Lagos and ANAMCO, Enugu were functioning, we bought brand new vehicles at #5000.

Now PAN closed down and was eventually privatized. Dangote, Kaduna and Kano States Governments bought shares to invest in it with the parent French company to resuscitate it. We should be happy about this great achievements sir

KiNg0G:


simcards 50 naira where?

I bought Glo sim card #1 in 2004.

LogicBomb8:


All goverment projects are constructed using dangote cement with the exception of none

This is not correct sir.


The Federal Government award construction to Engineering and Building contractors like Julius Berger, RCC, Carper and Dalberto ,Dantata Sawoe, G.Carper etc.

The contractors source their cement from multiple manufacturers.

Am not talking about then, am talking now.

That’s because it’s Peugeot. The Automaker is tested and trusted, and has proven its reliability for decades.

That we cannot say about Innoson. It’s a Chinese product!

Word.

Awesome! Peugeot has always

Bounceboune7:
when there is competition the masses will enjoy
How many commoners do u see using innoson?

The same competition that makes u buy SIM card for 50 naira now instead of 20k they sell it then

It amazes me how people can be this shallow minded

Incase you don’t know, Innoson cars are not so expensive considering the fact that they are brand new. Innoson doesn’t have tokunbo cars on the market which most Nigerians are used to buying.

You should go to a car stand and check the cost of a BRAND NEW car. You’d be shocked what a brand new CAMRY or ACCORD cost
