How many sure-p bus did GEJ order from innoson
anambra state purchases most of their vehicles for state functionaries,schools,refuse trucks from the company.i know at least three private bus coys that do too so it is not like people do not patronize it just that not as much as expected.actually some of those sure p cars were sourced from there as seen from some there buses inl lagos.however hey i know how you feel about the company since it started so no suprised by your negative statements lol.

onatisi: i think u are right ,this is even the first time i wil be hearing about this company,what they need to do is to embark on aggressive marketing and sensitse the ppl about their company and also try to offer some credit facilities for ppl willing to buy.they should employ more marketers too on both salary plus comission basis
i think private bus companies would not have much fuss buying ivm cars if it is proven to be durable,cheaper and parts easier to get (i mean it is produced here) which turns to easier maintanance than foreign ones.every private coy is interested in cutting running costs so it would not be hard to patronise ivm(unless private bus coys have an already running contract with foreign cars).forget govt patronage those guys are out to look for where they would make money.

Opposition parties in merger talks are shopping for a young northerner with a pan-Nigeria disposition that can be fielded as a presidential candidate in 2015.

SUNDAY PUNCH’s investigations showed that the search was part of the plan of the merger partners, if the Congress for Progressive Change Presidential candidate in 2011, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) dropped his ambition.

It was gathered that the opposition parties might shift attention to a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, and the Action Congress of Nigeria presidential candidate in 2011, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.

It was, however, learnt that the search was not restricted to the two as it would be extended to technocrats, with progressive disposition.

Such a candidate, it was gathered, must be able to take on President Goodluck Jonathan or any other politician that would be the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party in 2015.

A chieftain of the CPC, who spoke in confidence with our correspondent, said, “We are working on a plan B. If Gen. Buhari does not contest, the parties will shift attention to younger candidates.

“Our search will be extended to non-politicians, including young technocrats from the North. El-Rufai and Ribadu will be among the pool of candidates who will be screened.”

Buhari, had after the 2011 elections said he would not contest again having contested three times and failed.

But at the inauguration of the CPC merger committee on January 16, 2013, Buhari said the outcome of the merger would determine his 2015 ambition.

It was earlier reported that Buhari might drop his presidential ambition as parties in the merger had an initial understanding that leaders must be ready to make personal sacrifices for the success of the merger.

Such a sacrifice, it was gathered, might see Buhari dropping his presidential ambition, if it would thwart the merger plan.

An aide of el-Rufai, who pleaded anonymity, told our correspondent that, “There have been various speculations. There was a report that there was tension between Gen. Buhari and el-Rufai. There is nothing of such.

“The former minister is concerned with the success of the ongoing talks among some opposition parties.”

Efforts to get Ribadu did not succeed as calls to his mobile telephone did not go through, neither did he respond to a text message sent to him.

A member of the PDP Board of Trustees, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, had said the merger plan by opposition parties would not stop the PDP from emerging victorious in 2015 elections.

Iwuanyanwu described the move as one that would neither pull PDP down nor succeed.

“As a democrat, I should sound a note of warning; I have read recently about the coming together of some political parties. They are not coming together on the basis of ideology. They are coming together because they are afraid that unless they gang up, PDP will win the elections in 2015. This is a wrong political calculation.”

The parties involved in the merger have however accused the PDP of frustrating their plan.

They said the merger plans had driven the PDP-led Federal Government to resort to tactics aimed at tarnishing the image of key opposition leaders.

PROUD-IGBO:
^^^ Hmm! All this one you're talking na dogo turenchi. It's not like the north is a different country you know?.....we're all in this shi/t together i'm afraid.

When the world hears of mayhem and strife in Nigeria, it doesn't register to them that it's happening mainly in the north and that the south is relatively safe. Also, if the economy of the north is affected, that will affect you down in the south just as much, since less money would be available monthly to share in Abuja; no matter the amount of bombings and katakata that erupts, Kano state (for instance) will still get it's percentage share from the federation account for the state and local gov'ts.....maybe its IGR would be affected, but quite a number of states in Nigeria would say 'IGR?....what's that huh grin?', since federal allocation is all they know; this boko insecurity may even work out better for some of these states b'cos with most of the populace having fled their states, and the income they receive monthly remaining more or less the same, they'd be swimming in dough and have much more to waste and steal since there's hardly anyone to hold them to account and most of their populace are 'ignorant'.

Also, factor in the need for the federal gov't to spend more on security and special intervention schemes in the north to address the economic downturn there; this in turn will leave less money for the monthly sharefest.
danm true talk.

Lord Naya: @ Dede you are confused village man, you have continue to spread your lies without showing any fact. I appeal to all to ignore the disruptive tantrums of this fellow. The PDP minister admitted to the fast transformation of new owerri and indeed Imo state into paradise yet this fellow out of envy comes here to spew trash. DO ASK THOSE THAT TRAVELLED HOME IF THEY WERE NOT HAPPY AND SHOCKED BY THE FAST DEVELOPMENT OF IMO STATE. FROM THEIR ANSWERS DRAW YOUR CONCLUSIONS. Imolite can't be deceived by the already failed fallacious propaganda being executed by PDP agents. IMO NO N'AKA CHUKWU.

MILESTONES OF ROCHAS OKOROCHA

While the citizens were still basking in the euphoria of these historic measures, the Governor started the implementation and execution of many lofty but people-oriented policies and projects and these include, public utilities rehabilitation of water schemes in Imo State, namely: (1) Otamiri Head-works (2) Egbu Water Schemes (3) Orji Water Schemes (4) Umuoba Water Scheme (5) Ubachima Water Scheme (6) Mgbidi Water Scheme (7) Umuona Water scheme (cool Osuama Water Scheme (9) Nsu Water Scheme etc.

Bringing his private sector initiative, he went into public private sector partnership (ppp) in the execution of some projects which include. International Electrical Electronics and Auto-parts Market, Naze, Central Market for general goods, New Owerri Imo free Trade Zone, Ngor Okpala, International Trade Fair Complex Exhibition Center, New Owerri, Owerri Shoe Industry, Nsu Tiles and Ceramics Industry, Mbano, Establishment of Imo College of Advanced professional Studies Declaration of free and compulsory primary and Secondary Education, construction of Multi-purpose Hall Oguta Motel, Completion Nekede exclusive Garden Housing Estate, Area H, Okporo Housing Estate, Okporo Orlu,

In Agriculture, the Governor has ensured the restructuring and revitalization of the Assets of Imo State Government owned- companies that have been moribund e.g, Imo Palm plantation Limited (Adapalm Ltd, Ohaji), Imo modern Poultry, Obowo, Imo Rubber Estate limited, etc.

In the area of security, he has through the equipment and motivation of security agencies nipped the activities of criminals who wanted to disrupt the peace of Imolites in the bud

In the field of education where he is a master visionary and strategist, he is ensuring that the future of Imo State is secured through education. Through the introduction of scholarship for Imo undergraduates in IMSU and Imo Poly, he has challenged Imolites to excellence.

Also IMSU/IMSUTH that did not graduate medical students for 2 years have continued to graduate many sets of doctors in the last one year.

Indeed, analyzing the giant strides of Owelle Rochas Okorocha in the last one year in Imo State is like embarking on a tedious voyage which requires enormous time, space and energy, because Owelle represents vision, excellence and success, and the celebration of his fiftieth birthday marks the closure and opening of an intimidating and historic chapter in the life of a caring but courageous character.

To the man with the mida’s touch, the celebrated strategist, the visionary victor, and the Golden Age Guru, it’s congratulations and happy birthday.

Dede1: Let us for a moment assume that what you had stated, in terms of monetary gains to Imo State, is remotely true. There must be, at least, one Imolites who would pause and say ADAPALM is a gold mine after all. I hope what Europeans think about Africans are can not possibly true regardless of the level of their education.
actually labaran maku said that that amount is quite small for a project like adapalm which i personally agree with but until that an imolite comes out and with a better agro business model(with experience to back it up with)we would have to live with it until we imolites change our 'white collar job chasing mentality' and start developing our entrepreneurial side to issues.that we are education loving people does not mean we should not be entrepreneurial.

Dede1: There was a discussion surrounding the sell or lease of ADAPLAM which I was lucky to join. The issue centered on how Roche will bring heaven to earth for Imo State people through ADAPALM. I injected the idea that Roche is not a corporation run by bunch of airheads. The people at Roche knew there is huge profit to make from the deal. The profit shall be taken to the country of Roche parent country not Imo State.

Some people posited the same mindset as you have done by stating ADAPALM should not be used as any kind of guinea pig by local agro business outfits or there are no capable local hands to run such entity.

Again, I injected the idea that if there are no local hands to run ADAPLAM, we should as well invite the surviving relations of Douglas, with respect to Douglas Road, Owerre, back as governor of Imo State. Why should we conduct election that produced Rochas Okorocha when we would have invited Europeans? Remember, Douglas was one of first missionaries who came to Owerre and was killed at present-day Mbaise.
well i know that the major profits would be taken to the parent country of roche however i know that the agreement is to pay imsg 20 million naira monthly throughout the duration of the 10 year lease.

Maku calls for ban on ‘tokunbo’ as NGGT team visits first indigenous Auto Manufacturing Plant.
: January 26th, 2013 : Latest News, Press Releases
INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) Co. Ltd,

The Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku has said that if emerging indigenous car manufacturers are going to remain in business there is then the need to ban the importation of fairly used vehicles, commonly known as ‘Tokunbo’ into the country.

Speaking in Nnewi, Anambra State when he led members of the National Good Governance Tour on an inspection of the INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) Co. Ltd, the Minister said if 30 percent of the vehicles in Nigeria are sourced from the company, it would be able to expand and meet the demand in the country.

Mr. Maku further urged Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of government to begin to implement the resolution of the Federal Government to patronize the company. “There is need to encourage him (Innoson Group Chairman, Chief Innocent Chukwuma) because for a long time many Nigerians attempted to achieve what he has done by setting up assembling plants and seeking technical transfer such as Peugeot and Volks Wagon. This is not an assembling plant, it is a manufacturing plant”, the Minister emphasised.

The Minister also used the occasion to point out that the President’s power supply programme was already working quoting the INNOSON Group Chairman, Chief Innocent Chukwuma who said that the company was now sourcing 80 percent of its power needs from public supply, which Mr. Maku noted was as a result of the increase in power generation in the country.

It would be recalled that at the commissioning of the factory by President Goodluck Jonathan during his maiden official visit to Anambra State, Chukwuma had prayed the President to quicken the process of fulfilling the promise of boosting electricity in Nnewi, adding that efficient power supply would energize the hundreds of industries that have made Nnewi the Taiwan of Africa.[b]

Guiding the team on a tour of the factory, the INNOSON Group Chairman, Chief Chukwuma said he rolls out 300 vehicles monthly from his factory. He also said that over 7,000 workers are under his employment across his 4 factories including those for waste bin and plastic production.

According to Chukwuma, exporting of the IVM vehicles has already commenced. Ghana, he said for instance, has ordered 200 units of his vehicles and here in the country, the Chief of Army Staff recently ordered 20 units.

Apart from their durability and the availability of spare parts, the INNOSON Chairman said the vehicles can be purchased for as low as 1.7million naira. He also informed that the company has certification from the National Automotive Council (NAC), the Nigeria Society of Engineers (NSE) and the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON).[/b]

While appreciating the Peter Obi Administration for his support as well as the Bank of Industry (BOI) for the loan facility given to him to kick start the factory he said that the Anambra State Government was presently the company’s largest client. The company has been enjoying BOI’s support to access cheap loans since 2004 when it had only 500 staff. Also, the company was able to access National Automotive Council fund to expand its vehicle plant.

He therefore urged MDAs and government at all levels to encourage made in Nigeria Goods. He lamented that though he had approached the Federal Capital Development Agency (FCDA) to patronize his waste disposal bins, the Agency still imports them from Germany. According to Chukwuma he had even provided the Agency with a truck load of complimentary waste bins for a trial.

Some of the vehicles manufactured at the plant include 14, 26 and 35 seater- buses, double cabin pick up vans and Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs).

Dede1: I seriously love your approach in this discussion but you should equally remember where we started. It is a plain truth that government should not run these parastatals however, it was only an entity such as government that had the wherewithal to erect and run them given the level of our societal progress.

In fact, I would have loved to see an arrangement between indigenous outfits and government in view of gradual removal of government from day-to-day operations. How would Nigerians learn to run these organizations when our governments sell or lease such entities to foreign firms in close and suspicious deals?

The main issue of contention is why the ADAPALM and ITC instead of Poultry in Etiti or Aluminum in Inyinshi or brick in Umuna.
i do not know about aluminium in inyishi and brick in umuna but as someone from avutu i know there are issues about imo modern poultry that is in court(i am quite aware that ohakim also had the same problem with that court case)so i guess rochas could not just enter there and do what he did in itc and adapalm.i have actually heard him(rochas) saying the govt is about reaching agreement on that court case with the person that filed the suit(this was november last year).as for indigenous local investors taking over the adapalm or any agricultural plantation let us be honest dede you adapalm to be used as some kind of guinea pig?which local agric business co do you know?you and i know how big adapalm is and what is to be done there should be beyod just tapping red oil and selling but also making use of by products of the palm tree for other uses(like production of soap).unless of course you have obasanjo in mind hehe.

Dede1: The statements in the above post are borne out of ignorance. I was born and raised in Owerre and native of a village few miles from Owerre town. A young from Unuguma is married to my cousin and large part of New Owerre belongs to the people of Umuguma. I knew when we use to drive to her father’s compound through the track roads in 1980.

ADAPALM and ITC were the only money-making parastatals in Imo State. It is funny Rochas has either sold or leased them to his fronts namely Roche and Ginikana respectively. One wonders why Rochas Okorocha has done the same to myriad of such parastatals in Imo State.
i do not know about roche and ginika fronting for rochas(would be bad if it is true) but i am sure adapalm and itc are on lease and not sold.in fact this is where i even blame rochas because as someone whose dad was once ssg in imo state i know the kind of rot(stemming from free loader mentality) that go on in these parastatals.question for you dede is why should a big palm plantation and a transport company be run as parastatals?it is high time we clean our minds from this civil service mentality we have in imo state.left to me i would have even sold adapalm to guys who are into serious agro business(let us be honest dede adapalm was not making any dime for imo state).as for itc i probably would have done the same thing rochas did (of course not using my company as front)

Dede1: The statements in the above post are borne out of ignorance. I am born and raised in Owerre and native of a village few miles from Owerre town. A young from Unuguma is married to my cousin and large part of New Owerre belongs to the people of Umuguma. I knew when we use to drive to her father’s compound through the track roads in 1980.

ADAPALM and ITC were the only money-making parastatals in Imo State. It is funny Rochas has either sold or leased them to his fronts namely Roche and Ginikana respectively. One wonders why Rochas Okorocha has done the same to myriad of such parastatals in Imo State.
Dede1: When my people believe the stunts of praise singers, I usually get irritated. I owned a plot in New Owerre and a family friend owned one of the five-star hotels in New Owerre. Yet deluded fun seekers are trying to tell me that 6 to 15 months of Okorocha regime in Imo State had blossomed New Owerre. What a folly.

Dede1: New Owerre has been in grove when Rochas Okorocha was a thug in Jos, Plateau State.
