Politics / Re: Nigeria & Netherlands Sign Agreement For Establishment Of Solar Panel Factory by asala1: 6:25am On Dec 09, 2023 |
Who are the people advising our leaders? They are always going the wrong direction. How many solar panels do the Netherlands produce? They don’t even produce enough solar panels for their country. China is the world leader in solar panel production. They account for about 78% of the world’s output. If you need solar power and don’t go to China, you are just joking or playing politics. Same mistake going to Germany (Siemens Energy) for power. These people can’t build all these infrastructure anymore, especially outside their continent and not in places as unstable as Nigeria. The project will still be in the feasibility stage for the next 4 years as it was in the past. If you are serious about power infrastructure, you go to China. For example, China has added more energy to its national grid in the last 4 years than the entire German installed energy capacity since it inception. As they say in my circle, follow who know road. 16 Likes 5 Shares |
Politics / Re: Nigeria Signs Agreement With Siemens To Increase Grid Capacity To 12,000MW by asala1: 7:57am On Dec 02, 2023 |
Instead of awarding the project to the Chinese, they are awarding to Siemens. The project will be in the feasibility stage until their term is over. |

Blakjewelry: If you have gone through the first year of technical school, you should know the difference between plates and sheets. The minimum thickness of a plate is about a quarter-inch thick (i.e. 6.35 mm thick). The thickness of steel sheets used to make car bodies is between 0.6 mm and 1.2 mm. You clearly don't know enough to argue about this subject. You are funny, trying to make an argument that IVM makes body parts for their assembled cars while in reality, they don't have the capacity to do that. In fact, no indigenous car company in Nigeria that has the capacity to stamp and make body parts. That's a fact. |

Blakjewelry: I think it is better for you to keep away from something you clearly don't understand or know nothing about. Building cars is not your strong area. For one, nobody uses steel plates to make car bodies, they use sheets. Also, what do "steel plate cutters" have to do with forming and blanking parts? Africans and glory hunting. Taking credit for what you don't or can't do. |

Blakjewelry:They don’t have the stamping press that’s why they are ‘keeping it secret’. What you are seeing in the assembly plant is what is called the completely knocked down (CKD) kits. You start from spot welding the parts and assemble the rest like a Lego. I’m not trying to minimize what they do, which I think is commendable but that’s what they do. |

Blakjewelry: Can you show me one picture of a functioning automobile stamping press for producing body parts and frames anywhere in Nigeria? Just one, not even from IVM but from any factory in Nigeria. This is not a beer parlour discussion. |
Autos / Re: List Of Indigenous Automobile Manufacturers In Nigeria by asala1: 8:21pm On Nov 19, 2023 |
Blakjewelry:You clearly don’t know what you are talking about. To make the frames and the body parts, they will need to have gigantic presses to blank and form metal sheets into shapes of the body parts. IVM clearly don’t have the capacity to do this. Besides, unless they are able to sell tens or hundreds of thousands of each version of their cars, the cost for making many forming molds for different parts of the cars is enormous and won’t be profitable. As I mentioned before, IVM import all the parts from the car manufacturer in China, put them together in their plant, paint them and rebadge for sale in Nigeria. |

Blakjewelry: Innoson Manufacturing is an assembly plant for semi-knocked-down parts. They buy semi-knocked-down parts from the car manufacturer in China without the logo. They get their logo made somewhere in China. They assemble the parts and put their logo on it. This is their business. 1 Like |

BreconHills: You don't understand how cars are built. They get semi-knocked down parts from the car manufacturers in China, assemble them in the plant here and rebrand them as theirs. Chinese manufacturers don't care as long as their selling their cars. They can even come and help the companies establish their assembly plant. Liability you say? You are funny. 1 Like |

Blaze14k: I'm just stating the fact, bro. I don't mean to demoralize anyone. Besides, the Chinese are making great cars. In fact, China overtook Japan this year as the top automobile-exporting country, so people are buying their vehicles. Most Dangote trucks are from Sinotruc China and most of the transit buses in Nigeria are from BYD or SMIC— both Chinese companies. There are Chinese equivalents for all those "Made-in-Nigeria" cars. So me any one of these cars and I will show you the Chinese version. |

tolue42: I'm not deceiving anyone, most of the cars from the "indigenous car manufacturers" are just rebranded cars from China. The only difference between Nigeria-branded cars and their Chinese counterparts is the logo. I know this for sure. |

Blaze14k:What does my comment have to do with growing Nigeria? It’s a fact that many of the companies listed above import cars from China and rebrand them for sale in Nigeria. I didn’t say the quality of Chinese cars are bad, I’m just stating the fact that there nothing indigenous about most of the cars. 1 Like |

It’s better to be poor in your country, where you have social support than to live illegal in a tent like this anywhere else in the world, where no one cares if you die. 169 Likes 8 Shares |
