Hahahhah, so super hilarious,thanks for taking your time to pen down your personal experience, well frm my experience,i think its due to how portable and small the car is to fit in to any available space,and so many of the drivers seem to be in a haste blc many are definitely using it for uber business,i think thats where most of there issue stem from!
Honda Civics are more portable and handle well in small spaces/corners yet no much hate towards them.

Anyways, thanks.

The funny thing is if I have the money today, I will definitely go for another Corolla (higher model).

I’ve noticed honestly,they’re always driving stubbornly and claiming right
Well, I have driven Corolla for many years and I can tell you that most of the problem is actually from other people.


Nigerians mentality towards Corolla is poor.
Some think, you are the reason why cars and car parts are too expensive.

Some think you are the reason why there are so many car thieves.

Some think that your car is like a snail that can't move and shouldn't be in front of them.

Some think you are the reason Innoson is not selling many cars

Recently, if you are riding a Corolla or camery you are seen as low budget Yahoo boy.

Just try and borrow a friend Corolla for the weekend. You will noticed that suddenly, everyone hates you.

I can never forget one fateful day where a young guy on mecedes Benz 230 made fun of my Corolla and insulted me. I had never seen him b4, we were not even driving. My car was just packed closed to his. grin grin grin


I think a lot of Nigerians are poorly educated and are also frustrated due to the nature of the country's economy. Corolla is just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Note: I also drive BMW, the amount of abuse and disrespect I got with the Corolla is unmatched.

Exactly..the man wasn't making direct contribution for ASUU,the 18b was gonna be contributed and given to the FG so they can hand it over to ASUU..that was the intervention and Ahmed said it categorically..even ASUU did not reject any money because he never offer to give ASUU any money directly..The ASUU chairman only stood up to do a disclaimer that the media may post out of context that they came to collect monies from Berekete family..
Ok. Thank you for the clarification.
EducationRe: ASUU President, Emmanuel Osodeke, Rejects N50m Raised By Berekete Family by GENES11S:
That's a political trap. ASUU was smart enough to see it.

They did not employ ASUU. If they have any money they want to contribute let them contribute it and give to ASUU's boss (The FG). Since FG say them no get money, the money will help them in solving ASUU problems.


NOTE: ASUU are not directly asking for a one time fee. They are asking for increment of salaries for university workers amongst other things. So collecting a one time donation like this doesn't solve any problem...it just like temporary bribery.

South West is boiling at the moment. This is what happens when you see your enemy as your friend. Yorubas sees peaceful Igbos as their enemies and at the same time embraced rampaging abokis as their soulmate. Now they are reaping the benefit of their friendship
Most Igbo people clearly don't understand Youruba people.

I schooled in SE so I know some of the mindset of most Igbos against Yorubas.

I hope one day you will realize that Yoruba are peaceful people and do not have hatred for any tribe (Igbos, Hausa etc)

The only people causing problems for Igbo people in Yoruba land are Igbos in SE who have never left SE region b4

Those people can be trusted so, Russia will degrade it s military to the point of Trust and ensure it is not in a Position to build Nuclear Weapons, clandestinely operate Biological/Chemical Weapons Labs and stop being a threat to Ethnic Russians in Donbas.

I can show you were many nato nations now said Ukraine will no longer join nato any way to the next question.



Taking of land is now the next problem Russia now want to send a punishment for ukraine action.

And Ukraine refuse.
They are just stating what Ukraine has already said, that "They will never join NATO".

I don't think Russia should have to fight a war to make their brothers (Ukraine) say that. They can do that without the invasion.


As for the punishment claim:
Its not punishment. Russia has been stealing land from Ukraine ever since they broke up. the last one was the annexation of Cremia.

I think Russia is trying to cripple Ukraine so that no fraction would ever break out of Russia again. it's a lesson for its own citizens.

Doing so shows that you are intolerant of the views of others and you are trying to impose your opinion on others, the same thing you are accusing Putin of doing! undecided undecided

To others, Putin is doing exactly the same thing America did to some part of Mexico, when it annexed it to form New Mexico, what it did to Iraq when it lied that it was trying to become an Existential threat to the USA, by developing a WMD.
Same thing it did to Libya, when it lied again that Ghadafi has WMD.

nato no longer going to take Ukraine as it member that is the main reason for the war. I know you have a hard time understanding it.
NATO didn't refuse to take Ukraine. NATO membership application can take up to several months b4 conclusion.

Ukraine were the ones that opted not to join NATO and stay neutral as part of the Russia requirements to stop the invasion.


And if it the main reason for the war, why is the war still ongoing?

It is called planned obsolescence. Something Nigerians carry to the extreme which is why so many locally market products are gone in a year or less.

Every year, a new model of car is made. So.the older models are traded in or disposed of. This is what drives economies. And this incidentally is why Africa is a dumping ground for obsolete vehicles that have no more value to even the poorest of the west.
Das true.

Another thing that is true is the fact that Africans in generally cannot afford the new versions of these cars being produced.

You can add up a civil servant salary from start to retirement and it cannot buy a new 2022 or 2023 Toyota Corolla.

NOTE: Car manufacturing and sales takes time. Toyota and Honda took the long walk for them to be where they are today.

Innoson is trying but it is a time race, they need to do better and the government need to be very supportive.

that is where you may have missed it. Toyota may not trust innoson to build corollas to Toyota specs. that is how you have brand dilution. several brands have been destroyed in nigeria by partnerships with local retailers who cut corners.

the cars innoson assembles are rejected in all western markets. it is a testament to the build quality that people are using buying 15 year old versions models. what is the maximum age any Chinese or american car for that matter lasts?
The person I'm having conversations with has stated that it is not about building Corolla.

It is about buying their parts (engine) and using it to create a car similar to older days Corollas. The build specs is all Innoson not Toyota.

It's not build quality, it's car reliability. It is a real deal when it comes to automobiles. The Truth is some 15 year old Toyotas or Hondas seems to outlast newer vehicles from some other brand. Go and do the research if you don't know.

About the western market stuffs, Innoson should start at home first.

Try conquer Nigeria, then the rest of Africa in terms of Automobiles. It will entails building not just fancy products but products that can hold up for 15 to 20 years. Yes I mean it, that's the only reason people are going after Toyota and Honda. Africans are poor, No one want to waste scares resources (money) in fixing car upandan.

If Innoson could play it's politics well, they could be a major supplier of reliable Keke and mini cars to some of this poor African countries. Then fancy and reliable products to bigger African countries.

The thing is most of you guys like to kiss western and other white asses too much and give them credits they do not deserve. It's slave mentality.

Build your products well, start from your country. Expand to the rest of Africa. By the time you have major market in your continents, other car brand abroad will have to respect you. With respect comes other privileges.

I understand the point you're making, but it seems you've not understood what OP is asking.
Read through my post, I never claimed that they've ever sold their trademark or brand to any company. They've sold their technology as rebadged cars and even their engines to other automakers, that is essentially what OP is asking. It is possible but the question is will it be economically feasible?
Ok.

Regarding the question in bold:
It will result in a very expensive product from Innoson. But I don't think it matters because considering the reliability of their products (Toyota). People will buy it. It will also add more credibility to Innoson.

Outdated Toyota products are very costly (compared to other manufacturers) yet people are still rushing to buy them. If people know that it's reliable, they will strive to get it no matter the cost.

Miyachi:
Actually, they do.

GM sold rebadged Corollas under their Geo brand from the late 90's to early 2000s. The Pontiac Vibe is another rebadged Corolla. Toyota is also collaborating with Mazda (I think, the Mazda 2. Toyota sells it as the Yaris ia). They've collaborated with BMW and have their engine in the Supra, the list goes on.

If it is a good enough deal, they'll take it. But I don't think it's going to make any financial sense to them, the market for new cars is Nigeria is a niche one. It's going to be difficult to make it affordable and still make a profit.
You are missing the point, the name Corolla is synonymous to Toyota. It is what got them where they are now.

They have never and will never share that name with another auto brand. They can build the parts for other auto brand but it cannot be named Corolla (or anything similar). This people take brand superiority very serious oo.

Have you wonder why Ford sue Toyota for trying to name the Tundra truck similar to their F1 series?

Brand is everything to them, they can sell innoson the parts but it can never be called a Corolla. They don't do business that way.

Innoson would have to come up with a product line of their own but they will get (buy) the parts from Toyota.

There is no doubting the Ninth generation (E120, E130 ) Toyota Corolla is Nigeria's best selling vehicle, it is a car you will find on every street in the country.


It is rugged

It is easy fix

Easy to maintain

Excellent fuel economy

Excellent resale value after decades of use.



Sadly with the introduction of E-valuation (age restrictions) this very reliable vehicle will soon disappear from our lands as foreign used cars.

Currently a used 2006/7 goes for about ₦3.3-3.5m

In a few days prices will reach 3.6-3.7m (new tarrif)

I am just thinking out loud, our very own innoson could buy up patent and production lines for this discontinued vehicles and I am certain there is a ready market to absorb and possibly export to other African countries brand new units of this vehicle.

Just thinking out loud.

Toyota doesn't do business that way. They will rather open a Toyota plant in Nigeria for such production than combine with other car brand in that way.

The best thing Innoson can do is to sign a deal with Toyota so that they (Toyota) will be producing engine for some of inoson vehicles. Mazda did the same thing with some of their product line.
