When did toyota start making porsche? ![]() |
dryyansh1:X and sisqo...nice jam back then. |
See how all of them are grinning from ear to ear! Useless mofos! If it was a Nigerian that came to them with an invention now, you'll see them treating him like they are giving him handouts. America creates the enabling environment for their youth to thrive, Nigeria is stiffling the growth of their youth in every way imaginable. Just look at the pictures sef! I bet the two young people in the picture are there to interprete for Bubu. Youths brought bubu to power contrary to the opinion that Tinubu did, now he has little use for them except when another election comes knocking, then they'll hire their e-guns (omenkecerworm, black berem and the Aba guy that chews gworo) and give them some stipends to fill the cyberspace with propaganda. Anyway the black berem seems to be wailing more than us original wailers Copyright © 2015-? and the economy is harsh on all and sundry, so it may not cost their paymasters more than a cup of garri each and some sugar to buy them again...that is if hunger hasn't exiled them before 2019. Unfortunately for the likes of omojuwa, Aisha's rice is finished as bubu may have warned her to remain in the shadows where she belongs. Little wonder she seldom makes any appearances lest Fayose the area father discovers another secret and runs to the town square. Someone should please stir up Liar mohammed so that he can give us the latest gist. This one that he has been quiet since, the kind of faboos that he will feed Nigerians next time enh, it will be record breaking. Maybe he is busy practicing and compiling the lies making sure the program runs without returning any errors when deployed like Kemi Adeosun's own did just recently. And one Bonobo monkey[i][/i] (seems to be the only denigrating phrase Omenkancerworm knows) will soon quote me and spit trash. |
Goyim:FFK doesnt care about political correctness and I admire him for that. He lost points when he started throwing invectives at Reno but other than that he made a sound argument which forms the bulk of the argument raging on NL these days. A lot has been going on and southerners have always been used against themselves. Reno writes well, but he shouldn't dabble into terrains he knows next to nothing about. 'political correctness is a very expensive luxury which we simply cannot afford.' ...FFK. |
texazzpete:Sir, Forex is scarce, not just pricey. Getting huge amounts of forex from the parallel market is difficult. I know small scale manufacturers that require upwards of $200,000 almost every other month. It is pricey as well as scarce. There is diminished inflow of forex into the system from exports, travel and trade, hence closure of foreign companies. Airlines, manufacturers etc are closing shop because the Naira they earn is next to useless if they cannot convert to forex for continued operations. Those who have tried to source from the parallel market and pass the cost to consumers have not been successful at it because the purchasing power of the consumer is diminished by the day via draconian policies. We keep talking about diversifying the economy whereas the instruments of diversification are stiffled. Mind you, Dangote is building an oil refinery which thus further increases our dependency on oil. Not saying it is a bad thing to build a refinery, just that diversification of an oil dependent economy needs providing the enabling environment for other ventures to thrive. You cannot ask me to slice up some meat and then proceed to provide a hammer as the tool for the job. |
erico2k2:Brake pads are everywhere. Even in Nnewi, there are many companies that manufacture brake pads. I remember many years back when 'Power Mike's'(the wrestler) company was producing fan belts(Power rope fan belt),brake pads etc there in Nnewi and this was even in the 80s/early 90's. They had many variants including the ones that were produced using palm kernel shells. Brake pad production is not rocket science. |
erico2k2:Oga stop trying to sound half smart. You sent me a link about fuel cell technology, a completely different approach to ICE. What is this one saying? It is just like bringing up space travel when we are still trying out helicopter travel.I studied a lil of fuel cell technology in my undergraduate years so note that the document has no bearing with what we are trashing out here. That is a technology that is still many years from maturity, a paradigm shift. The amount you are brandishing here was not even spent by just one entity, stop trying to win an argument and get educated with the facts. I have no interest in winning an argument with you, all I care is to reduce the amount of ignorance by at least a factor of ONE. We are discussing R& for ICE engines, let us keep it within scope. |
manny4life:You have time to respond to that guy. His display of ignorance is nauseating. I try to ignore folks like that who are beyond redemption. |
erico2k2:Too much CNN is deceiving this one. Your assertion above is not only preposterous, but ludicrous. Billions of dollars? Hehehe! Bros! Easy on the hashish mehn! Research costs money but nothing out of the ordinary like you make it seem. New machines will not be built, only new moulds for existing machines. It is all about modifying operational principles most of the time and not about complete change of processes, For example, a 6 cylinder engine vs a 6 cylinder dual inline plug system engine. The former uses 6 plugs with each piston firing a plug per cylinder while the latter uses 12 plugs with each cylinder firing 2 plugs thereby doubling its efficiency. Same base technology(pistons, plugs etal) same production machines, different moulds. Besides there are numerous ways to fund a research of that scale and it can also be done in partnerships without one party having exclusivity of ownership of the technology. |
Abagworo:Rehash of same old sentiments. Power generation and distribution is zilch. Incentives for small scale enterprises is zilch. Security is zilch. Education and infrastructural development is zilch. Forex for manufacturers to import components is zilch. How are manufacturers going to cope? Reducing dependence on imports is a good thing if done the right way and timely. You do not collapse the entire structure in one fell swoop and tell people to endure just because you are immune to the effects generated by your callousness! Sell me something new! |
texazzpete:The challenge is not lack of funds but limited forex. The SE govts do not mint dollars. The federal govt while placing restrictions on forex supply, freely and dubiously provides same to one individual. Approximately 10% of the nations forex earnings are given to one person alone at official rates (most likely less). Importers and manufacturers cannot sustain activity at black market rates and even if they attempt it, there is not enough forex in circulation either in the parrallel market. Govt officials corner the little available forex meant for BDC operators and round trip for personal gains. It is a catch 22 situation for manufacturers and importers. |
These men (Nwobodo, Iwuanyanwu, Rochas ) are the same men that have continually worked against the Igbo cause and run the Igbos aground. Praytell, are they planning this time around on how to put a lid on the coffin of the Igbo interests? |
oluwaahmed:As in enh! The man has been in heaven since all through successive govts. Only God knows how much tax rebates he has been enjoying over the years. It is unfair. The system cannot continue to be rigged in a certain group of people's favor always. It has got to stop. |
redcap:Some people just like to comply socially and sound politically correct, brandishing economic parlances and theories while at it, but a little probe further will ease you in on their true mindset, then you'd see everything else is a facade. Guy you seem to have a bul.lshi.t radar ![]() |
redcap:Exactly. I didnt even know he produces tires until recently when I read it. If you travel to Nnewi, you'll see that they produce a whole lot of automobil and motorcycle components. Ibeto even produces batteries. |
oluwaahmed:God bless you sir. There is an agenda going on and people are trying to pull wool over our eyes! How can major manufacturers, airlines and the likes be denied of their fair share of forex just because of one man? The same one man was granted exclusive rights to import rice at the infancy of his road to riches by Abacha/IBB back then. The same one man used OBJ to squash perceived competitors...Ibeto cement, etc. The same man and Otedola washed their dirty linens outside showing how they were manipulating the stock markets a few years back with accusatory evidences published in several national dailies, yet none of them was tried. In saner climes, Dangote would probably be serving jail terms now. I have nothing against him as a person, but it is very unfair to us all tax payers when unfair advantage is given to a select crop of individuals. |
Quakertellicus1:Guy park one side fest! He cannot manufacture everything. 70% is more than much. He sources locally too. If the govt cannot create enabling environment for other manufacturers to operate, I do not see how it is his fault. Why is Dangote not manufacturing his production machines in Nigeria? But the govt provides him with a whooping 10% of our forex earnings? Just one man? Is he the only employer of labour? Do you know the employment opportunities lost as a result of this forex situation? Its not only innoson oooo! There are numerous others already and more to follow. We all know of aerocontractors too, just today it suspended operations. Do you know the attendant effect on the labour market? How many jobs is Dangote refinery sustaining now at its infancy stage as compared to the thousands already who have become victims from job cuts in various companies? So because I have planted cassava today, I should fast and not eat anything else till the cassava is due for harvest? |
Quakertellicus1:Innoson manufactures 70% Of its parts in Nigeria. There is a plastics and fibre plant in Emene, Enugu. |
celestialAgent:Ogbeni, there is no car manufacturer that manufactures all its components, just like there is no electronics company that manufactures all its components. There are companies whose sole product is just fuel pump or other related part. A car/electronic manufacturing company can partner/fund a research with the component manufacturer for a certain variation or specification of one or more components. That is how the manufacturing process works. As a farmer, you cannot grow all your crop needs and still make commercial quantities available. |

This is exactly why I chop people winch! I go dey my own jeje, you'll be flashing your pregnancy and your chicken changi in my face to oppress me, ok! Issorait! Let me sharpen my teeth nah! Oyin abi kini oruko e je? E duro no! |
So instead of paying N600 to and fro, I'll now pay N1200? Just to pass? Have they installed an air conditioner ni? Anyway, so long as they don't add another toll gate to block int'l airport, no wahala. If they see me driving through that route, make them go do thanksgiving! |
Haters everywhere. Linda will give some people HBP. I was expecting to see the usual 'goan marry' chant. Bunch of jealous mofos! |
tolugar:You are very correct. It is a catapult ![]() |
I have scoured the internet for world war 1 and WW2 tanks and weapons and have yet to find any pictures closely resembling any of the machines here. Militaryfactory.com lists all tanks used in both wars but none resembles these. |
I'm surprised that no mention of his movie 'see no evil, hear no evil' alongside the black iconic actor Richard pryor was made in this write up. Brilliant actor, effortlessly witty. We will miss him. R.I.P sir. |
Na wao! So this thread has gone to the dogs already? Roforofo! This di.ck measuring contest has gone too far...too far. Why always derail good threads?

igwegeorgiano:Your friend is a compound fool with compound interest to even contemplate the pastors words. Please let him quit the job ASAP so that someone more deserving will take up the job offer. Iranu! |
chowlade:I usually do not waste my ink on low-life, ignorant hate-filled cretinous mongrels like you who litter the cyberspace but some of you need to be put on a short leash. You post threads attacking anything Igbo and the marauders you are defending are busy killing and maiming people from your sw, SE, NC in their bid to attain total conquest of the contraption called Nigeria. Praytell, is your cranium always filled with used condoms or is there any remnant of grey matter there for you to reason like a human being at least even if it is once a year? To think that you are even a female makes me empathize with the kids you will birth or have already as the basic notion of motherhood is lost on you if this is all you can come up with. Tuuuuuuaaaaaaaa!
