Innocent chukwuma, is nt making any mistake by building his factory in Enugu cus Enugu state government is among or if not the only government agency patronising his products in a very larg form.

Yes he is not making any mistake. Personally I love the concept of him doing it in Anambra and enugu but I love if he can generate more awareness by branching out to other states

Most especially Rivers, delta, Lagos, ogun, abuja kano, kaduna and co

We need to generate more awareness to Nigerians so they would stop this rubbish by Importing millions of cars and tyres to Nigeria every year when we have one that we have not even given a chance.

for those of us not ready to support our company which IMO is much better than those imported ones. As for me, I would support it and patronise them by buying the product.

Innoson needs to move some branches to states like delta, lagos ogun, abuja, kaduna, Kano and co so people can be more aware of this development.

The management of Innoson Motor manufacturing has disclosed plans to begin production of  vehicle tyres, despite the economic challenges which has led to the closure of most tyre manufacturing companies in the country.

Innocent Chukwuma, CEO, Innoson Group revealed to Business Day in Lagos that the tyre factory was scheduled to take off soon in Enugu and was expected to create more jobs, saying, “apart from car vehicles production, we have decided to go into tyre production because I have done a serious survey and discovered that the raw materials meant for tyre production are available here in Nigeria. The tyre factory will be taking off soon in Enugu ”.

According to him, “about 90 percent of raw materials meant for tyre manufacturing are in Nigeria . Only very few chemicals, 10 Percent to be exact are imported. We are currently under test running of the factory”. Chukwuma further revealed that, they would be starting with 30,000 pieces of tyres per annum and then 100,000 tubes.

“Already, we have three sets of tyres produced in our factory. The first  is motorcycle tyres. We are planning to begin that of car production.

Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Trade and Investment, Samuel Ortom has stated that the emergence of Innoson in the industrial sector would not only improve the nation’s economic plan but serve as catalyst for other mushroom businesses in Nigeria .

He made this declaration recently during a working visit to Enugu and Anambra states.  According to the minister “the establishment of Innoson Industries would create an avenue for other minor businesses likely to offer huge employments, especially those in the Southeast.”

He said that Innoson Motor Manufacturing alone would eventually generate mini industries  in the environment.  He maintained that what was currently going on at Innoson was a clear sign of what Nigerians could do if properly supported, adding that more good  things would still emerge from  local investors in future.

Ortom, went on to applaud the chairman of Innoson, Innocent Chukwuma for his impressive industrial record.  “Chukwuma has made the country proud, with his enormous manpower development and investment in the country; he has practically confirmed that something good can come out of genuine effort.  This is commendable and worthy of emulation by any patriotic Nigerian.”

Couldn't make out a point from all the gibberish written in the quote above. I'd however point out that ATM if they refuse to comply, we would be  faced with three options:

1, Continue with our exploitive neo-colonial masters and maintain status quo gaining nothing.

2, Switch to a new partner offering an all round better package.

3, Wait for the Nigerian Government, which for inception has been known to promise and not fulfil to do things themselves?

Make your pick?

Why not make the 4th option which I would pick

4. Build your refinery and support your own indigenous oil company so rather than be a slave which your 3 option gives room for, you would be independent.

Reference:
Because government does not drill oil and NNPC's own contribution through NPDC is microscopic. Why would you insist that the man who knows next to nothing about a business be entrusted in creating and running one while leaving those with the expertise to be marketers only. That is the lopsided argument. Shell should be doing the refining while government does the administration not the other way round. If I am a cattle rearer I am in the best position to produce milk not a middlemen who hires my cattle to milk them. It is scandalous for Shell, AGIP and Co. to be giving out LPO's for the supply of AGO for their own use and billing the country by way of JV funding whereas they burn free gas willy nilly after powering their own gas turbines at our cost. triple sin violation is better than that. If the government is up and doing they should set targets for total refining of all the crude we produce in this country say over twenty years. No more crude export. This country should be littered with refineries  by now with supertankers on queue in the high seas.

By the way the British and American governments own no refineries or oil companies. They have divested eons ago. The refineries owned by IOC's are built by the IOC's using amongst others profits garnered from less than right thinking countries such as Nigeria. If you have a couple of hundreds of millions go ahead and build one. But I can't see how your tomato puree will be cheaper than that produced by a tomato farmer in the business for generations. After forty years of exploration there's nothing on ground to show for it. We used to accuse government of laxity and ineptitude. Now they are beginning to wake up and are calling these companies to higher responsibility we the people are now turning to support the IOC's. Tired.

Ok, The government does not have to go into Oil business per se. All the government needs to do is encourage the indigenous companies in whatever way she can even if it means building the refinery and privating it later.

BP ( British petroleum) is indigenous to England and was just recently privated around 1979-1989 but they still pay their tax to the British government and also employs a good size of British people all over the world. Same with Shell and co

Now today, different oil producing countries have their own indigenous oil companies which MIGHT not be run by the government  but by private investors with the aid of the government and that is why they are global and are ready to explore a country as (I am sorry) dumb as Nigeria and refine, steal and cheat from her land and oil and destroy her environment. These companies cannot easily be brought to books why ?? because they have their government backing.

We need to leave "the bubble" and start seeing things from a new preceptive as human beings that have evolved and have learnt some few things over the years.

We cannot keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. If you want something, you have to do it yourself. No one, I mean no country would spoon-feed Nigeria because she is Oil producing. Nigeria is not the first oil producer and would certainly not be the last.

Ogoni land today is suffering from oil spillage by Shell and co, Have they been brought to books ? NO

We have indigenous Car maunfacturing company like Innoson, why have we not supported them ? Why have our government not done policies that support the company ?

We have Onado and co, why are we not supporting them ?

Hitv why are we not supporting them ?

Lets be real with ourselves, over the years, we meant to have learnt that this world is every country for herself and we are meant to support indigenous companies even if it means the government building some infrastructures for them then so be it.

Shell and others started with the government, why is ours different ?

We keep deceiving ourselves to think things would get better after each successive government by it is a plain lie. Until we wake up and support our own companies that can go to other countries as well. We would remain in this quagmire.

When Nigeria wanted to bar BA, why did the british government talk to Nigeria immediately ? Ofcourse to protect her interest .

oyb:
[size=14pt]your oil and your country, so build the damn refinery yourself [/size]

Gbaammmmm thank you. so atleast they can shut up

we cannot build our own oil company

If Britian can have BP

USA can have shell and chevorn

Saudi can have aramco

WHY CAN'T NIGERIA HAVE ONADO OR NNPC with her own refinary ? for crying out loud

phreakabit:
You have always been the most myopic of the Lot. Ever heard about alternatives? China would be more than willing to do what is being requested if not more. As a mater of fact China and the western world are currently engaged in an underground tussle for Africa. Read more articles on international politics rather than being NL's official bigot champion.

Talking about Mypoic views you are not better yourself.

How does the western world and china after common logic  

You see my friend simplicity is brilliance. Being open minded and view things for a simply point of view would make one find a solution to something not just be overly complicating things. That is why Nigeria is and would still remain under-develop until we wake up and do the right thing at the right time

Now wake up my brother. So according to you, once the shell and co leaves, Chinese companies would come and be the new over lord in the pretence of building our refinery right ?

Changing one master to the next is the New game plan ?

Why not free yourself and acquire wealth yourself that would rival that of China and the western world

Our people say

It is only an fool that would keep buying pounded yam when he has yam himself at home.

Maybe it is high time Nigerians start engaging in thinking.

kim77:
Enough is Enough, they ve milk our resources for years , polluted our water. This is our resources , so we set the rules , if they don't like it they should go and let country like China comes in, Its high time all the so call western power starts to respect us. They ve taking us for ride for too long.

[size=14pt]And after you chase them out, what would you do ? drink your oil or what

people why not ask your government to build her refinary for his indigenous government oil company at least 1 so we have a bargaining power.

Why do we reason like this in Nigeria [/size]

Lovely thread.

some more addition coming soon hopefully

phreakabit:
As simple as that! Business is all about mutual benefits. Why should one side take all the gains ?

Yes correct and the benefit they are giving Nigeria is buying her oil and refining it for her.

If Britian can have BP

USA can have shell and chevorn

Saudi can have aramco

WHY CAN'T NIGERIA HAVE ONADO OR NNPC with her own refinary ? for crying out loud

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=867140.msg10165444#msg10165444 date=1328874500]How is it possible to force them to build refineries?

Who will supply the billions of dollars to build the refineries?

Wetin concern producer of crude oil with refining of same?

They are entirely separate businesses.

May as well compel them to build roads, power plants, provide security, etc too[/quote]Gbammmm

efisher:
It's our oil and our country. If you don't like the contract terms, then get out. Simple!

LOL,

What terms are you talking about ? What if they decide not to build the refinary, what would happen ? Chase them out ?

Ok we chase them out, what happens next ?

fall back to square 1 which I have always predicted, the government would have to do it own refinaring herself isn't it?

Are we not back to square 1 now ?

Is that not why people asked the government to build her refinary before the removal of subsidy.

Na wa o

bashr8:
when i start attacking the yorubas dont say we igbos started it, what concern you in igbo affairs , why dont you post topics of what happens in those caves in yorubaland.

where are the jobs in osun and ekiti state where are they soo many jobless agberos running around the southwest

Kobojunkie is igbo

Moreover why can't she post about an aspiring President Rochas

Abeg relax jare

bashr8:
as long as seun and your moderators continue with their evil bigotry am not going anywwhere neither will it end , since seun is ready to rubbish the image of his yoruba group because of money we will help him do that

Funny enough, Seun has never call himself yoruba but Nigerian.

That is what bigotry does you people, it blinds you to the reality on ground. smh

bashr8:
and who owns the website? who are the moderators? why do they keep moving igbo threads to front page. if you think you can rubbish the image of igbo people while we watch think again cus we will drag yoruba own down with us ,losers

LOL so last year when every yoruba topic entered the FP you did not complain like this o !!!!

With akin egba aka Nchara etc opening up topics about barbaric yorubas, you no complain

Dude no one is dragging Igbo name to any mud. you are just paranoid and the reason is best known to you

One thing is certain, We have Igbo mods that can take and remove things from the FP as they wish. Afam4eva, Odumchi etc

so again STFU and talk to you brothers that start tribalism on NL and are still doing it

The same way you are thinking that is the same way yorubas are thinking

If you think you can insult their ethnic group, they would do the same and the cycle continues.

I have chosen to be quite on this issue because I don't hate Igbos and if they decide to respect a man like Ojukwu then I have no choice but to respect them and their feelings.

Now I don't care you do not respect yorubas or anyone it is entirly up to you people. But please work with me by stopping Igbos tribalist on NL and I would do the same.

Thanks

shymmex:
The Aworis don't even own Lagos Island smh,

Yes we do

what are you talking about from the 3 islands outside lagos to Iru to Ikoyi, Isale eko(lagos Island) to ebute metta among Kirikiri idumota etc are all awori land

Now No true son awori would deny his heritage we are not lost, we are yorubas but Please know what you are talking about

bashr8:
you yorubas are ready to ridicule your people as long as an igbo man will be ridiculed to, you didnt see the hausa man that also fled but u assumed from no where that those that fled to cameroun are igbos, i dont get your reasoning at all, anyway since they have been killing you in yorubaland i guess your used to it , fro osman dan fodio jihad right till fulani attacks today its no longer a big deal for you.

you talk of ridicule ?

What is worse way of ridiculing someone/ yorubas by throwing pure water to OBJ's car in Onistha or so ?

What is way can you bring yoruba low by inciting lies that Awolowo died in by rat poison by a biafran website ?

You keep calling them cowards yet they remain calm

you call them fetish yet they have never disturbed you

etc

So if you talk of ridicule, Yorubas have a very good share of it from both fulanis and Igbos (especially the igbos).

But this yoruba people are carefree and rather have fun with all the name calling then start a riot or fight.

To me that has earn my respect. A group that rather sort for peace and harmony rather than go on a killing spree for something trival.

Of course I have said it many times on the forum, they are mouthy and would not like to be ridiculed

thus you have tribal ranting on NL.

Behave yourselves, stop attempt to stop some Igbo tribalist then Leave the yorubas to me to handle but it seems you love it when Igbos insult the yorubas don't you all. My hands are tied ; I can only do so much

waxrider:
I thought Igbos are not touched.,,

it is ok, lets not take it too far. yorubas and hausas too are running.

and have they not been doing that, wicked people

and so is it not better to even kill the police man rather than the whole hausa people ?

if it was boko haram now, I would understand the anger and fear but just a police man to a driver , I think it is a bit far fetch

Bashr, I want to remind you that Igbo and yoruba offiers to do the same and it does not take an ethnic dimension.

what are the so called hausas still doing in onitsha , i though they all left in ther trailers, whatever happens to them that is their own cup of tea.
