Inside Innoson Motor Manufacturing Plant Nnewi Nigeria - World's First Black-Owned Car Manufacturer

The youngest among six children, Chief (Dr) Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma (OFR), was born into the family of Mr & Mrs Chukwuma Mojekwu of Uru-Umudim, Nnewi, in Anambra State, without the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. But, what he lacked in affluent parental background, he made up for with intelligence, hard-work, discipline and business acumen - qualities that have continued to interplay remarkably in his many ventures.

In February 2007, Chukwuma embarked on what some analysts perceived then as a mission impossible, when it incorporated INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited (IVM), to produce sundry commercial automobiles, utility vehicles and passenger cars, in collaboration with a consortium of Chinese auto manufacturers.
With the public display of some of the vehicles at the 2nd Nnewi International Auto Trade Fair held at the Beverly Hills Hotels (Gabros Sports Complex) in the last quarter of 2009, IVM did not only silence the critics, but made a bold statement about its readiness to achieve the avowed mission of being the first (indigenous) auto maker to produce truly Nigerian vehicles that are affordable and reliable.

IVM is today a success story which has attracted effusive commendations and awards from various quarters, including the nation's seat of power. While opening the plant on October 15, 2010, President Goodluck Jonathan not only hailed Chukwuma for the courage of venturing into an industry many ran away from, but also assured him of government's patronage from the government.

But even before the President's visit, IVM had attracted an official delegation from the Ghanaian government, which through a minister, dangled incentives before Chukwuma with an appeal to come over to Accra for talks on how he could set up a similar plant in the former Gold Coast.

Determination, The Driving Force To Curbing Oil Theft In Nigeria Pt2

emiye: Those trains should be adapted to transport cargoes, it is dehumanising to use those trains for human traffic inter state

I agree, those trains are good for transporting cattle but not peoples

Symphony007: as of 2011 nigeria's oil revenue came up to 50.3 billion dollars. That is independent of gains gotten from gas, agriculture, taxes and out revenue incomes. Nigeria has lost 400 billion dollars to corruption and some fools on here are telling me nigeria cannot afford if mr excel's extimate is correct 15 billion dollars for a high speed rail. What idiocy.

Mr excel says nigerians cannot afford to pay 5,000 naira to travel from port harcourt to lagos with 3 hours or more. Is a flight ticket in nigeria 5,000? Yet the nigerian government is spending about 18 billion to buy planes because the ones currently cannot carry the passanger load, it cost 5,000 naira to travel by an ABC bus but it does'nt have the safety a train can offer nor the comfort,speed accident prone. How do people reason?

Yes, the money is there in Nigeria for a very modern railway system, there is no need to borrow money abroad from the Chineses. Let us look at the following fact: Crude oil thieves stole an average of $2 billion daily the last time anyone cared to check, and this puts the loss to the nation at nearly a trillion dollars annually. Now this $1 trillion annually could easily put the current state of Nigeria's railway infrastructure at par with those of the First World countries.

Dahomey Amazon warriors

Dahomey was one of most powerful kingdoms of West Africa, deriving its power from trade and its superior army. Dahomey’s army was one of the strongest and best-organized armies in West Africa and was comprised of both men and women, including the Amazons, a superior and dreaded fighting force of female warriors. The Amazons, or Mino, were a Fon all-female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey. Had reputation as fearless warriors, defeated the French army several time in battle. One of the Amazon leaders was Seh-Dong Hong-Beh (which means “God speaks true“) who led an army of 6000 amazons against the Egba fortress in Abeokuta in 1851.

Analyst Explains How Conclusion On Shekau's Death Was Reached Part 2

A Security Consultant, Captain Umar Ali (Rtd), has explained the timeline used by the Joint Task Force (JTF)
in concluding that the Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, is dead.

The African school education system is completely warped. In Africa today in the school education system they teach children that mankind is about two million years old. Yet in that same African continent bones where found of Africans 28 Million years old. They continue to follow the European school system, which is continually warping their universal consciousness. They know more about Christopher Columbus and Christianity than their own African cultures

Governor Babatunde Fashola - Urging deeper global cooperation

Chylo: I saw a post on FP with a video of a policewoman who was demanding for 100 naira bribe. Also, in recent times, there has been several of such similar posts and everyone condemns them.

But my question is, are we really ready for a corrupt-free police in Nigeria? If we are caught with expired papers, do we really want to have our vehicles impounded nd pay a fine of 25,000? If we take a one-way, do we really want to have a physchiatric test and be suspended from driving for 3 months? Are we really ready to have d law take its course?
In my opinion, no, we're not. The truth is Nigerians are comfortable with this system, just that we like to pretend a lot.

Maybe you are not really ready for a corrupt-free police in Nigeria. What message your post send for the new generation?; accept corruption?.
I think you are sending the wrong message
