Afam4eva: If this is true, they have to tell us those that were occupying the top positions before and why?

Willy7: Its like asking if the devil is wicked.OBJ never instilled any impression in the minds of Nigerians against Atiku.Every ardent political follower knew what transpired when he was the vp then and what caused the fallout with OBJ.You must understand that Atiku was the de-facto president of Nigeria during OBJ's first tenure,reasons being that OBJ handed over everything that has to do with the economy to Atiku and it was even Atiku that recomended and brought the likes of Okonjo Iweala and Soludo.Atiku himself was the chairman of privatisation,and all he did was either selling the stuffs to himself using someone else as frontman or selling them to his friends and cronies.OBJ later got to know about this and it caused problem btwn them.This is exactly what would've happened btw GEJ and former power minister, Prof.Barth Nnaji if he hadnt own up and resigned for having an interest in biding for d purchase of PHCN.Talking about being a womanizer or gay as some people would make us believe then is his own private life,i dnt know about that.But for sure Atiku is no saint when it comes to looting Nigeria's economy.Ask him,lol.

SELFWORTH: Do you have to respond to my comment?

Please move on with your Xtain life.

SELFWORTH: Ignorant people will always refuse correction.

I am a Christian not a ' Xtain'.

SELFWORTH: Who are 'Xtains'?

SELFWORTH: What religion is 'xtainity'?

Followers of Christ are Christians. It's Christianity . Stop this nonsense on NL .

matrix789: IN CHRISTIANITY YOU DONT FIGHT FOR GOD.
IN ISLAM YOU FIGHT FOR GOD.
HENCE THE VIOLENCE AT THE SLIGHTEST PROVOCATION.

jude33084: Hausa and Yoruba will not allow it to grow meanwhile they cant even produce a bolt

Please stop being foolish. haba.

Eziachi: Its not patronage, can you imagine French govtal agencies using Toyota instead French made cars like Renault, Citreon? Or their president riding in BMW?

Can't Jonathan use one of this company cars as his official vehicle, including abroad, like in Switzerland last week. Can you imagine the amount of PR it will give to the company and Nigeria as a nation?
They will prefer the imported one where they will like inflate the price and so mago-mago with custom clearance. Tell me any world leader that use auto that wasn't made in his country if that country makes auto?

Demdem: Good initiative no doubt. i have always been advocating for this however i dont think it will work. I also dont think the retardeen is sincere.
The day i see him give up his fleet of presidential benz limousines/sedans of all kinds littering Aso grounds and replace them all to Innosuns and their kind, then i will take him serious.
he is the head, he should lead and woe betide anyone within government that does otherwise.

Sincere 9gerian: Ethnic sentiments cannot be ruled out. For instance has the Lagos state govt ever patronised Innoson?

seanet01: Na wa o. Even Atiku sef dey talk for corruption issue.
Ewo, nothing wey you no go see for Nigeria.

Chairman of INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) Co. Ltd, the first automobile manufacturing plant in the country, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, has lamented the low patronage of the company’s products by both the government and the people of Nigeria.
Chukwuma said this Friday evening when the National Good Governance Tour team visited the plant in Nnewi , Anambra State.
He stated that the people and government of Nigeria have refused to appreciate and patronise locally-made products irrespective of the fact that some are of better quality.
The chairman also said that vehicles produced in the plant were more durable and cheaper compared to the imported vehicles.
“The vehicles can be purchased for as low as N1.7million, and the company has certification from the National Automotive Council (NAC), the Nigeria Society of Engineers (NSE) and the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON),” he said.
Chukwuma added that some government agencies do not also patronise his company’s product even when government agencies from another countries orders for the products.
“Exporting of the IVM vehicles has already commenced. Ghana, for instance, has ordered 200 units of these vehicles and here in the country, the Chief of Army Staffrecently ordered 20 units. We approached the Abuja Environmental Protection Agency (AEPA) to patronise waste disposalbins manufactured by the company, but surprisingly the agency still imports them from Germany. I even provided the agencywith a truck load of complimentary waste bins for a trial,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Information Labaran Maku has said that there was need to ban importation of fairly used vehicles into the country so as to encourage the local manufacturers and help them to remain in business.
The minister noted that if 30 per cent of the vehicles purchased in Nigeria were sourced from the company, it would be able to expand and meet the demand in the country.
Maku also urged Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of government to implement the resolution of the Federal Government to patronise the company.

i thought the retardeen through his ministers banned foreign vehicles i knew this wont work properly until u have a leader that leads by example and expressed such thoughts. Fools like dacrazy and onlylies went on the offensive. Idiots.
