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.

So basically, the same conditions millions of Nigerians go through.

I'm not happy about the Dangote concessions. I'm perfectly happy to limit it at that person alone. There is no reason to extend it to Innoson and others.

Forex isn't really that scarce. It's just pricey in the parallel market. Innoson can go there, and pass the costs on to consumers like everyone else is doing. AFterall, the imported components were supposedly just about 20% of each vehicle. Given that the delta between the official and parallel rates is about 1.2x, let him adjust the prices of his vehicles by a multiplier of 1.2 to compensate.

I think the far bigger issue is that consumers are not buying Innoson vehicles in sufficient enough numbers to compensate for the current economic conditions, and that is 100% down to failings of IVM in marketing and branding.

You cannot build a business that seemed perennially focused on securing Government patronage.
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.

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.

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.

He cannot, quote me anywhere, No country in Africa can as it stands, teh required funds for research is too much for most entrepreneurs in Africa, it requires Billions of Dollars.That man has not that kind of money to pay for such research.
Dont forget you also have to build teh machines that will build the Engines.He should start with things as simple as welding machine then I will give your suggestion a thought my friend.
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:
It's self explanatory



The easiest solution to our economic crisis is to stop importation and manage what we produce. Oil money is awoof that comes and goes hence the false life we've been living. I believe with the approach of Buhari team we shall make better use of future opportunities. Our economy is not only suffering because of oil crash but withdrawal of investments by former government cronies who might not deem it fit to remain with e paradigm shift.
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!

Innoson gets a substantial amount of tax breaks and incentives from the FG already.

Ina time of recession, it is tough to ask the FG to subsidize a private business that has hurt itself through poor business practices of relying on govt handouts.

I mean, you couldn't even find a single showroom for innoson consumer vehicles in Lagos until some months ago. This is not the hallmark of a serious company.

I find it amusing that there's so much rhetoric that the FG should bail out innoson. Is there anything stopping the south east governors from pooling together a development and investment fund to invest in innoson?
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.

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.

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?

You cannot be a car manufacturer without being able to design and make your own engines.And engines cost a lot of money to make and design...and as a result...are very expensive.
Innoson manufactures 70% Of its parts in Nigeria. There is a plastics and fibre plant in Emene, Enugu.

I'm not supprised.

Innoson has never occured to me as a car manufacturing company but a car part compilation company. Hence the reason for reliance on forex to import the parts to be coupled...

let's not embrace dependency, we need real productions!

Before you quote me, bear in mind that i'm not tribalistic, this is channelled at all Nigerians..
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.

just last sunday, after the church service my friend, with all the excitement in him decided to informed his pastor about the recent ugrade that has just started in his life. when he told his pastor about the job he just got with the Nigerian Brewries, the pastor's countenance changed immediately. he told my friend that he should immediately resign from the job on the excuse that such job opportunity does not glorified God and that it will lead him to hell fire. My friends has dependants who are looking up to him for support. his wife and four kids are there to take care of. At the moment he is at a cross road contemplating on weather to quit the job cos of the pastor's biblical assertions or hold on to the job for his family sake.

Counsellors in the house, please what do you advise he should do in this situaton. thanks.
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!
