100kph patapata 120 I cant come and kill myself for nothing

alan056:
Did you for a second think about the state's revenue?? I guess NOT!

how much will it cost to buy at least five luxurious bus to start with? The state can increase by buying extra two or three every year. Private transporters have hundreds of this vehicles not to talk of a whole state government. Let's stop making excuses for this politicians

The things we celebrate in this country Sha... How big is lafia? Why cant the state have a school bus network that runs the streets of lafia and terminate at certain bus stops and pupils can use the bus to school for free or at a reduced price.

Wow and I hoping to get this car because my increasing family, my salon car can't contains us any more for family movement. I was thinking of getting this or an Odyssey but settled for this. Now am having a second thought. But this car full Nigerian roads and they are using it without problems... .

I know a nice police man that won over 2m a month after he retired. Lucky dude

Which kind thing be this na? See as cold dey catch me as I dey read this thing. Stupid girl

I sleep like a baby!

guy na God create all of us ooo and you are busy hating one of His fine creations, tomorrow you will still go on your knees and pray to the same God and you are still wondering why your life bend like crayfish. Dude you need Jesus!

win2kwire:
Buhari stole more than 25 million dollars, you are short on info.

The sad part is that ibos are still the most criminal, corrupt, hated and evil people in the country!

I am really curious to know how you sleep at night with so much hatred in your heart.

Mine was Amala, served in the west, first time I saw someone eating Amala, I actually throw up.

As corpers we were always invited to parties but I kept on refusing to eat Amala until one yoruba babe took it upon herself to initiate me to Amala,

I took the challenge and tasted Amala Oooooboy..... It was heavenly it was so smooth and goes down easily I never expected to be that good.

You go pirate lawyers book, it's like stealing from the police.... they hate competition.

oyb:
where do you live?

it is only once or twice i have come across an innoson army/road safety vehicle

you are also reiterating what i stated earlier - by security outfits, you are referring to nigerian police, army, customs, ie the federal government.

how many private companies are buying innoson vehicles?



it has already been thrashed out severally, innoson is selling rebadged locally assembled Chinese vehicles. he has 0 input in the cars.

even if it's Chinese vehicle does it matter? From the write up a lot of Nigerian factors were taken into consideration during production, even the ones given to the security outfits don't breakdown easily and I don't see the pushing innoson like they push hilux and other products. A lot of people are skeptical about innoson products including myself and you know our taste for foreign made stuffs but I have been asking people that use innoson and so far I have not received any negative review about them. Instead of putting them down let ask more questions and talk to people that have used this cars.

oyb:
the real question is how many innoson cars have you seen on the road , much less broken down?
i may see an innoson car one a week or a forthnight. toyotas etal are everywhere.

a car with no clearly defined aftermarket service, and one that nigerian mechanics will deride - the moment you see check light you do not drive out with it.

most of our car problems are caused by our bad roads and temperature because once you know how to service your car regularly you won't have any problems. No car manufacturer in the world takes our road and temperature into consideration when building their cars, that's why you have American spec, European spec etc., maybe innoson is the closest thing to the Nigerian spec we wish for. Na person wey dey sick dey go hospital, what's your business with mechanic if your car just needs regularly oil change to function. I regularly approach innoson car owners and drivers to ask them their opinion and so far it has been positive. Innoson might not be there yet but they got my respect.

ssogundele:
Those foreign vehicles you mentioned are bought as tokunbo/used/second hand that has been used in different terrains across the globe by varied individuals with differing driving temperament. These cars constitute the bulk of cars used by average Nigerians. Thus it right you see them at various spots with various "illness". Also don't forget that these various "foreign cars" as you called them might have spent donkeys of years with wonderful record of good smooth service delivery to the previous users before been shipped to Nigeria. But how many people owned innoson vehicle in your hood? How long had those who owned them have been driving them? And finally, how many of the ones been driven for some years still has second hand appealing values? Be objective next time

sincerely speaking I have seen a lot of innoson cars on the road most especially the trucks that are designed like toyota hilux, I have seen them with a lot of security outfits and you know how rugged our security guys use cars given to them.
Are you also considering that those foreign cars are not made for Nigeria? How many of these foreign companies studied our road and temperature before producing thier cars? I once bought a car and the fan will not work until the temperature gets to a certain level, I was adviced to disable it, when I ask why they told me that the manufacturers made it that way due to the cold weather that can turn the oil in the engine to ice. May be that's why this cars break down easily, I want to believe innoson is producing his cars with Nigerian and her problems in mind. Why not do like I do, anytime you see an innoson car on the road stop and ask the driver or owner how he is enjoying the car. It might clear your doubts.

janellemonae:
IVM (innoson) is a foreign car.

Its not manufactured in nigeria.

does it really matter? Even if it's a foreign car I believe the Nigerian factor was taken into consideration during production.

I have not used any innoson cars but I noticed that I have never seen his car broken down by the road side and I hardly see them at mechanic work shops.

My point is , I see Honda products packed by the road side because the tire pulled out, you see toyota and other products packed with thier bonnet open because of over heating but I have never seen an innoson car packed by the road because these issues. I am just saying the product might actually be good and better than most foreign cars.

Ajewealth123:
he didn't request for such welcome ok.and was he suppose to jump and land on a place without red carpet?

he has an advance team that usually go before them on such trips. Dude he is visiting a disaster area, why the carnival? His advance team should have done something about that carpet before his arrival. The truth is they don't even know this is wrong. People like us need to remind them that they our servants and we their masters.

gboye1999:
You take a picture of the mans arrival and compare to another while at the scene.
Common...theres so much to improve on with our politicians and our country but not with wrong comparison.

Please post a picture of Trumps arrival at the airport....

please show me the red carpet? Let's stop giving this politicians reasons to mess around with us

comshots:
Shame no dey ever catch una to dey defend bad things.

no red carpets.

When are we ever going to learn in this country? What's is the red carpet there for?

Visiting a disaster area is now a ceremony that red carpets will be pulled out?

Our leaders should learn some form of humility haba!

No body should defend osibanjo here because the dude is enjoying all the paparazzi.

imagine say you go flog their pikin for road! if him call mama you dey trouble, if him call papa you dey trouble. just kuku kill me!

Let's not look too far, Anambra state successful made public schools attractive. It the political will that we simply lacking. Let's restructure now!

We dey vex ooooo

smartty68:
Nice, innovative, impressive

Innoson Ventures Motors what do you have to say about this?
Ans: Yeah you know, infact since we're not getting support from the government, its difficult for us to think and build something different from other car models that's why we do copy-copy and copy other cars designs like Toyota. And secondly, since we have poor road networks/maps and bads roads upandan these Artificial Intelligence (AI) will malfunction or infact e go spoil which may results in fatal accidents on the roads. Thank you...

Me: No further questions IVM, drops mic

I dey shame on your behalf!

We are responsible!

I have watched with great interest how the wheels of the nation work from afar. They are not working well. All that we were afraid of are happening now.
We shall confront them. But more importantly, we shall confront the nursery where the anomalies are bred.
In re-committing myself to the Nigerian project, I am determined to listen to, and understand, the people at the fringe of our society. More often than not, we fail to give them our ears and assume that what they have to offer has little or nothing to do with our lofty dream for the nation. That, I have come to understand, is a false premise. All voices are needed in the negotiation for the advancement of the Nigerian project.
Moving forward, balancing the Nigerian project to give it a solid sense of equity and justice is paramount to me. I want all those who are committed to come to us. I want those at the forefront of the fight for restructuring Nigeria to bring to me proposals and blueprints on how to make things better.
I want to balance the seats in the House of Representative to make it fair to all. I want the number of states in each geo-political zones balanced. I want to see the resources of this nation shared in such a way that those from the areas where these resources come from do not feel cheated by the rest. I want to devolve power from the center. I want to free the regions to stand on their own. I want the geopolitical zones enshrined in our constitution. I want the presidency to rotate amongst the zones. The number of local government in each zone should be fair so that local government allocations to each zone would not be lopsided.
We need to sit down and articulate the blue print of how to make Nigeria great. I want a master plan of what should be done on my desk in six months. We need them in specific terms.
We have to radically transform this country if we want it to survive. I’m looking for a holistic treatment of all that ails us.
With the remaining time that we have, we want to set things right to make it easy for those coming behind us. We cannot wait. All along, the military has been the one putting in place constitutions and structures. Our democracy is mature enough that we can do them ourselves in tune with the desires and goals of our peoples. If we can accomplish that, the rest of the task of governing this beautiful country should be a lot easier, not just for this generation but for generations to come.
You won’t always have Buhari with you, but my job is to make sure that you will always have a Nigeria, an equitable and just country for all.
Political defeat of one section of the country only leads to progressive defeat of the whole nation.
I am ready to defend this vision of a new Nigeria with the last breath in me.
It is very unfortunate that we have been programmed to believe that in a family, injustice to one does not impact the cohesion and commitment of the other to the family. But it does. It is the reason for all the rumblings we hear in our dear country today.
To ensure my commitment to this, in a few weeks, we will convene a meeting in Aso Rock with all the young people who are so dissatisfied with the Nigerian project that they have decided to opt out of it. We want to listen to them and forge a way to regain their trust. The youths of this nation are the most important resource that we have. That should not be just a mantra to be given mere lip service. It is a statement of fact that we need to hold sacrosanct.
My generation has played its part. We must have the courage to begin a systematic disengagement so that the next generation can take the lead. I have seen them in technology hubs across Nigeria, on the streets hustling, in schools and in markets. I am confident that they can take this nation to glorious places.
If this our present malaise is a spell, it has run its course. Our mumu don do.
Thank you for listening and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Fellow Nigerians, I am happy to address you all today on my return from medical treatment in the United Kingdom. It is by the grace of Almighty Allah that I am here with you.
I want to begin by thanking every Nigerian who prayed for my quick recovery. I also wish to thank those who lost patience with me. I understand your feeling. We have so much work to do in this country that every minute lost is a disservice to our people.
My special thanks goes to the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. He held the fort in my absence. I’m very pleased with his performance despite the difficulties our political structure imposed on him. He did the job of leading this nation so well that I have a renewed confidence in our leaders of tomorrow.
I also thank the National Assembly, my ministers, the members of the judiciary, our security forces and civil servants across this nation who go to work everyday and look up at the picture of their leader who had been absent for long and still dedicate themselves to the task of the day.
Being sick is a human condition. While we pray that sickness does not befall even our worst enemies, it is one of those life experiences that ‘will come when it will come’. For those concerned about the financial burden my illness must have exerted on our nation, I want to dispel your fears.
Though as your president I am entitled to receive medical treatment anywhere that my doctors deemed best, I’m waiving that right. My family and friends will take care of my medical bills.
As leaders, we must lead by example. I promised to end medical tourism if elected president of Nigeria. Two years after, it has not happened. You do not have to go far to know that it has not happened. My absence from Nigeria for 103 days makes it evident. It is my personal failure. I own up to it, the same way I own up to all that we promised but have not accomplished.
As part of my renewed commitment to this country, in my remaining days as your president, I will make sure that no president of Nigeria will again have the need to travel abroad to receive medical treatment. We have done greater things in the past. We can do this.
In the last two years, we have opened the window of opportunities for tens of thousands of our young people through the N-Power entrepreneur scheme. We have school children in 13 states of Nigeria receiving free lunch at school as part of our Homegrown School Feeding Programme. In 9 states, over 26,000 are receiving N5,000 stipend a month from Conditional Cash Transfer Programme. We have stabilized the Naira and the economy. No matter how raw and uneven it may have been, we have taken a stab at the fight against corruption. Though it is still with us, its wings of impunity have been clipped. And instead of unrelenting on this fight, we are reloading and refocusing.
We have made strides here and there, but for many, the change that we promised has not materialized. In some cases, the change has taken many of our people two or three steps backwards. To them, it is hard to preach that stepping back is part of the process needed for a forward push. They may have seen the rams do it, but that does not mean that they will understand it and embrace it when it means doing with less meat in their pot of soup.
For me, this period of ailment has been an opportunity for great reflection. If I had an illusion that I would always be with you, that illusion is gone now. I will not always be with you. But I know that Nigeria will always be with you. I, therefore, come back with a renewed commitment to leave a better nation for you all. In the little time that I have left in this role as your president, I want to see a more united Nigeria for all.
Our unity can only come if we create an equitable and just nation.
I have had time to look at Nigeria from outside. I have watched with great interest how the wheels of the nation

adexuxin:
Forget these cessation clamor. The southeasterners are gifted with business acumen. Every part of Nigeria is gifted with unique talents.
Take away the fulanis and you start importing beef.
Take away the hausas you start buying Food.
Book don scatter my people head.
I really want Innoson to take over Africa with cheaper cars and start manufacturing keke napep. It amazes me how keke napep sells for 500k

so hausa been dey dash food, and I have been paying... Abeg where you dey collect free food from hausa make I go collect my own.

Why kill them? Is there no better way to handle them, must you shot them?

They killed our fathers and mothers, today they are killing our brother and sisters, what happens tomorrow? Will our sons and daughters be spared? When will they stop killing our people?

It breaks my heart when I look at this generation seeing how bleak their future is.
