Can you be specific.

An innoson poor copy cat of the Mercedes-Benz G- Wagon, which is the Chinese BAIC motors BJ80 it has a kerb weight of approx 2000kg.

The transmission, body frame ( chassis), drive train and Engine will weight a conservative 1400kg. Are they made in Nigeria

Add the body shell, doors, etc suspension and wheels, that will be about 400kg at least

. Are they made in Nigeria also .

We now process iron ore into steel and then have steel rolling mill to roll the steel. Then the innoson factory has lazer cutters to precision cut the steel.

I want to believe that we produce 100% Nigerian tyres in Nigeria and the tyres are sourced in Nigeria.

Now consider what you have said and respond substantively.

What % of Nigerian local content is in Innoson vehicles.
you are looking for local content.

what and what do we produce in this country.

Deep... really Deep.

My Sister, My Bible tells me that " For all have sinned and Come Short of the Glory of GOD"

If there is sin, there is also Mercy!

Praise GOD You are still alive because it's only the Living that can obtain Mercy. Irrespective of all You have done and those who have looked down on you and Disowned you due to your dirty past, There is a Loving FATHER who is Available to Receive you , Purge you ,Clean you up and Make you the most adorable.

HIS Name is JESUS CHRIST..

Man can fail you
Pastor can fail you
Parents can Disown and Fail u
Uncle and aunties can fail u
Your Twin can Fail and Disappoint you
I can Fail and Disappoint you

Only JESUS will never Fail, disown ot Disappoint you. HIs hands are Wide open to Receive and Forgive you.

My Admonishment to you is this;
Put All the Challenges , Events and Troubles away.

Take your Focus to JESUS CHRIST.
Follow HIM with all of your Spirit, Soul and Body.

Let HIS Word be your food.. Let HIM be your FATHER, Mother and Partner. Let HIM be your Pirioty



You will suddenly notice that all the Burdens will be lifted off your shoulders .

I Believe you have a job or some means of income.


Search for a Bible Believing place of Worship or GENUIE Believers of like minds. Don't Focus on the Pastor! Focus on GOD..


As for your kids, Uncle, Aunty , Parents and all who have Abadoned you.. The Master who has The Heart of Everyone in His Hands, He will Restore all of them to you in due Season

Leave all those Worries and Face JESUS CHRIST The Prince of Peace.. Walk with HIM with all your Heart. Love Him with all your Heart


I Pray For you that as you seek GOD ALMIGHTY, you will find HIM.
I Pray For you that as you turn to GOD as your Focus , the Peace that passes all Understanding will envelope you
I Pray For you that as you Completely Surrender to JESUS CHRIST, you will smile again and Everything that you have lost will be Restored to you IN THE NAME OF JESUS.. AMEN


I see you being a Great light of JOY Soonest


no sinner shall go unpunished

forgiveness is for sure but you must pay for your sins

Even some of the companies he listed just assembles vehicles not actually wield a piece here and there.
Proforce,DICON, Innoson and OSV are the only companies that I believe if all cooperate at least 500 MRAP a year is sure
ntc kano , annamco enugu, pan Kaduna.also has the manpower and machinery.

Nigeria is good in neglecting good stuffs.
2000 ARA MRAP = cooperation + money + govt willpower+ materials availability (engine,transmission, suspension and amour grade steel)

2000mraps within a year? In this same Nigeria?
if engine transmission suspension and amour grade steel are available, kano ,Kaduna, bauchi, enugu ,nnewi, ogun ,Lagos.all have heavy truck assembly plant. with most sitting idle due to covid19 its possible but is he Govt committed.

1200-2000 might look ridiculous but its achievable if we have the will.

Considering the economic warfare the west has waged against Zimbabwe, African countries should prepare just in case. Even strong economies like Algeria or South Africa are not immune.

A good start would be using the West African Eco for intra-Africa trade, African countries trading with each other more, and a tax on any non-African imports
which eco is it the one hijacked by France? eco is died on arrival.

First of all we don't have time to wait for 2 years. Every day you delay there someone son, father, brother and or Uncle that will die.

You don't begin to carry out testing in the middle of a war we are fighting on too many fronts. You buy existing platforms tried and tested and available NOW.

What we are paying for limited functionality and sift skinned pick up trucks innoson( Chinese) and toyoya gun trucks. Will get us far better LAV'S that are fit for purpose and used APC's and IFV's from the eastern block, HERE and NOW

Then what's the comparative cost of our own very limited supply of MRAP'S and Light Armoured vehicles.


who is talking of 2years.
Annamco with its machinery and staffs could produce BTW 400-800 unit of the ARA MRAP in collaboration with proforce,NTC kano could produce same ,innoson PAN could do btw 200-400 .

so we are looking at between 1200-2000+ within a year

provided that there is availability of engine transmission suspension and amour grade steel.

it can be done but is there willpower on the part of govt?
all proforce would do is just outsource, and keep on improving on its designs.

Romance / Re: Should I Break Up Or Make Up With My Boyfriend? by giles14(m): 9:20am On May 22, 2020
Acmepreneur:
This my guy is not serious at all.

I used to tell myself change is the only permanent thing in life bla bla bla. And I really believe that once you take the right steps, you can be anything you want to be. This made me to be very soft with people.

When I started dating my Boyfriend, I really was not choosy or judgy. I accepted him without a second thought. I'm not the type of lady that actually do all those lady stuff, I'm a very serious person and I don't play games at all.
My BF is very cool, like not bad looking, normal behaviour etc and I like him a lot.

I'm a very ambitious person, with an extremely big dreams, my boyfriend is also hard working, but I'm not seeing any future at all with his career/prospects/life. When I say I'm with big dreams, it's means I'm working on discovering (new innovations), planning big business that would compete with top brands etc. I'm that big in dreams.

My children is also very important to me, I don't plan for their sufferings at all.
I'm an introvert, I find solace in my aspirations, dreams. I have books I work out those formulas (I mean how I would execute my business plans), I research a lot, think a lot etc

Our fight now

Since day 1, I do tell him to do this and that. I really hate company works, so I would tell him to have savings, and be building something sideways where he works. Also, I wanted him to do Masters, since he said he would love to travel out, he's always saying he hates Nigeria bla bla bla. His dad also wanted him to do Masters, but he's in the crew of Masters is a waste of time, and he can't do Masters in Nigeria bla bla bla

Baby try this business, he would say he doesn't have money, he needs 2 million to start a business etc.

Meanwhile, he doesn't have money to travel out of the country to do Masters, nor 2m to start any business. So I would tell him to manage what he has first, and that would propelled him later, but he likes to talk like illiterates that Masters is meaningless.

Meanwhile, while that is true, those things are just like investment, you don't know when you will see an opportunity to use your Masters certificate, and since he studied computer science, I told him that it can even help him get a job outside Nigeria when he leaves, that it can be useful there. I understand the situation of the country, but not having masters doesn't mean you will get a job as well, so why don't you just have it.

My bf would shut me off, and also his dad, the dad even asked him to take job at the federal university where he works, but my bf said he can't work in that place, this is a federal government job o, he would say the salary is too small and people there already knows him, because his dad is in a big office in the university.

So it won't seem like I'm disturbing him, I went quiet, but might chip it in in discussions, but I don't fight him on those things. He works in a small company, and he rose to the position of a Manager, he spent all his time in office, the little time to waste with his friends. It's a good thing but I'm not comfortable with that, the pay is about 90k, which is not enough for his expenses, also he's the first born.

Fast forward to last year, his dad died, it looks like a film trick to him, he now have to take care of his siblings and mum (mum is nurse, but retired long time ago, her pay is little because it wasn't normal retirement). Everything I was telling him finally came to pass.

He rented an apartment with His friends, he later hated it, and said he wants his own, he went to rent an apartment of 600k (he gathered it from different places and he borrowed), which I really hate and we fought on that as well. Because he could have used the money to secure his life in a better way, since his complain when I told him to start a business is that he doesn't have money bla bla bla

He will not apply for better jobs as well
He's practically doing nothing to grow, and would say he hates Nigeria and he would like to leave, but he can't even apply for scholarships or even google schools.

So this 2020, Jan 1, I started fighting him, that I'm not going to continue with him like that, that he should go apply for MSC, start a business or just do something. He now started saying that he has responsibilities which are his siblings, I told him this is the nonsense, he would do till the year ends, we will fight and later resolve it.

He won't even talk about it, or get reminded, he makes me feel Hus boss is using him. I have told him several times how he would be used and dumped, in fact, he makes me say negatives sometimes, and that's because I have seen people that get dumped while working with companies and they fall back to grass, my mum won't even accept him because he works in a company, small company, not cocacola or big companies. My mum hates company works like shits because we've heard and seen people falling to zero due to company jobs.

The problem
1. He says I'm disturbing his life, and not allowing him to rest

2. I'm not happy with him living that way, with no future, no investment, hes not building himself while working, hes not doing courses, not learning any skills, and I think its too risky.
His current salary is not enough for him, not to talk of me collecting part of it. But he gives me money though, has not been more than 1k, 2k and data subscription which I really appreciate.

3. I can't introduce him to my family because I want him respected. Truth is I don't know what he would say to impress my parents because I'm not even impressed with him. And I want him to be superloved and respected. I believe in first impression would last very long. He has introduced me to his family and all friends

4. He never ask me about my own life, aspirations, advice me etc, I'm always the one to do that. Yesterday he had the gut to tell me I'm not caring because of just two days of not showing care

5. Corona has turned his company outside down and he's highly affected. Just like all what I was telling him finally happened, and he has nothing to fall back at. He has a car,

6. I can't marry him or anyone this way, and I'm getting old, though and I want marriage next year. He said he wants too, but I can't marry him like this. And I don't want to get to late twenties, and he breaks up and I start looking for husband, people would be thinking maybe I have a problem that is why I'm yet to marry, they won't know that its him that caused my delay. Plus I have a very high esteem, so I would hate to be desperate for marriage with a man or be the one to be wanting marriage so much in a relationship

7. Right now, we have temporarily break up, so I'm asking if I should break up or make up? Because he was saying rubbish last night

Note: I'm not a fan of dating and rubbish, I love him very much and I don't want to leave him at all. I don't think there's any man I can date as I do not like dishonesty at all and 95% of men are dishonest. My BF is very honest and good I'm every other aspect
pls can I get your mobile number.

I believe Nigeria has a country is rich but the Army budget can’t do that in a single year. Another thing is our military budget is too small for a country facing serious security threats.
Only the federal government can come to there bail. They can spread it over a period of four years getting like 100-200 of MRAPs/IFV over the period of four years.
It’s just about planning and the will .
if the ARA is proven platform, and it's cheap compared to foreign variants, I believe requesting for emergency #100bn from the NASS to acquire at least 1000 locally made and assembled MRAP/IFV within a year or 2 won't be impossible.
we are losing a lot of young men and exposing more to PTSD without treatment.

Not only you bro; it’s going to take years before the MRAPs/APC will go round for frontline troops.
but if the army See's it as an emergency they can get the likes of innoson,NTC ,PAN ,Annamco etc to work with proforce to deliver atleast 500 unit of the ARA mrap within a year.

I strongly believe they is no commitment from the army to face out those light skins from NE.

The world is thinking of cutting ties with them aswell.. everyone is just waiting for who takes the first step..

The chinese Govt would ruin your factories by subsidising cost for their factories to supply you at unimaginable cost till you are addicted to chinese imports and all your forex going to them..

They would bid for contracts in your country, bring in their workers at expatriate pay and repatriate your forex on a build operate and transfer contract..

They are building free trade zones in your country to take full advantage of your populace should incase you revolt in future.. the free trade zone is bound by international laws and without custom duty for imports while they repatriate your forex

They would eventually loan you funds with massive interest tied to massive revenue income generating infrastructures in your country while repatriating your forex..

They block you gaining access to their populace with your tech apps, but sell tiktok to the world without hindrance while they repatriate your forex..

They have indirectly crashed the price of oil and have massive reservoirs while pushing up electric cars and robots to never depend on you..

They build chinese restaurants in your country and segregate you from visiting the restaurants tagging it "chinese only"...

They are the first country in the world in this current age whose "MC-Donald's" ever read "Blacks are not allowed"..

Now the question:
WHAT DO YOU GAIN FROM CHINA?
you don finish, he US of A don't give a fuk about u as long u are black.
ask the blacklivematters movement so dey might give you some enlightenment.

China might be the devil for now but the Americans were never the angels u think dey are.

For me too I’ll would have preferred we buy huge numbers of T72 from Russia they have them in thousand rotting. Then build a facility here in Nigeria to upgrade/maintain them, a kind of technology transfer. This would have been a force multiplier but these new babies are incredible.
