oga these are not Nigerian soldiers do you see any wearing Nigerian army uniforms. At least as a Nigerian you should be able to identify our uniforms.

tunzy9229:
Op ,you know they are so many dumb Nigerians that will fall for these that is why you posted it.so many educated illetrates.fools.

Continue with the madness.

He has donated his plant to government. Only asking them to provide funds for raw material to produce for them . The scenario is like telling your countries army that you are available to fight for your country in the time of war. Though you are ready to fight, only a stupid government will ask you to go and buy uniform, guns and bullet with your money if you want to fight for your country. Making yourself available is one thing, being equipped for the battle is another.

afube:
i agree with you wholeheartedly ,let innoson start his donations with his primary constituency...namely Igboland....na only una get sense!

afube:
I have said severally that Nigeria does not deserve Ndigbo............any Igbo man that sincerely believes in the failed Nigerian project needs to have his brain examined. Innoson should start his charity from home......see how he can help his own folks in Anambra state. Dangote started his charity from kano....and Gtb started theirs from their Homebase in Lagos.

mekaboy:
Poverty is really a disease. Is dangote donating cement for building isolation centres? He can make cash donations. If government wants cement they buy from him. You learn to separate the person from the business.

Agboriotejoye:
Cancelling my posts is indicative of internal pains you're suffering from. I'm sorry to be the bearer of pains but if it is the only way to enable you get some sense then so be it!!
As long as the Chinese companies are unnamed, it's safe to assume it's the Chinese govt doing that. I know it may be hard for you to understand how but just leave it.

Innoson already donated money according to news we heard so I believe that is one good gesture. However, he may have been peeved by the begging jamboree the govt embarked on to a fellow automaker like him which is why he offered his company with some costs to cover for the modification and other expertise that may be needed to make it a reality.
What I still don't understand though is why you prefer begging to this alternative. When I was a kid, my mum would beat the crap out of me if she ever caught me begging for anything. She always ensured that we had all the basics we required and encouraged us to ask whenever we ran out of them. Sometimes she gave us homemade options whenever she could not afford the factory ones like soaps, sweets etc. but never to beg. What did your mother teach you?

Agboriotejoye:
Why should you beg for what you can produce at minimal cost? Most importantly, why should you gatecrash a donation to beg? Elon called countries that usually patronize him, which you're too blind to see that he's also furthering his business interests, while Nigeria jumped in to beg. Have you no shame at all?

Agboriotejoye:
You and your affliction of deficiency in English again. I asked you to mention the companies not paste what a minister said.

Jumia should not be locked down if the govt knows what they are doing. It is at this time that their expertise will be most useful to limit unnecessary movements. However your govt is only an expert in begging and not smart or innovative which is why Jumia was locked down despite their donations while Amazon and E-bay have employed more people to step up their online delivery.

Innoson is telling you how much it will cost to modify his plant to produce ventilators. I don't know why you prefer begging to putting 4bn in the hands of an indigenous firm. Abi you're an almajiri ni?

Noneroone:
But your govt is begging for common respirator online? BTW Innoson never begged for money, he asked for orders to save the lives of people like you.

Agboriotejoye:
You have come again you this boy with ur lies. Kindly mention the businesses that have ordered for ventilators from China. People like you that can't even make the soap they use to bath are castigating innoson from the comfort of your bedroom. Very rich I say. If 4bn is too much for you to modify Innoson's production plant, I guess begging is cheaper though. Keep at it and let me know when Elon's BIPAP respirators arrive

The same Jumia you highlighted got locked up by the anti-business govt for operating during lockdown while other countries are encouraging their online retail businesses to employ more so online delivery can be used to curtail movements.

Nigeria to receive 18 Chinese medical experts to fight coronavirus

Nigerian Government on Friday said 18-man team of Chinese medical experts will arrive the country in a few days to assist the country in its fight against coronavirus.

“An 18-man team of Chinese medical experts including doctors, nurses and other medical advisers shall come along with the flight to assist us,” the minister of health, Osagie Enahire, said during a press briefing in Abuja.

[b]“A special cargo aircraft shall leave Nigeria in a few days to collect the items which include commodities, personal protective equipment and ventilators.[/b]

The minister said the medical experts and medical supplies are provided through the courtesy of “a group of Chinese companies working in Nigeria.”

Agboriotejoye:
What have you donated apart from being an online nuisance? You can judge others but not yourself. Hypocrite

Noneroone:
Igbo business ingenuity has outgrown the normal sensitivity of Nigerian political space which breeds mediocrity. If you read in between the lines you I'll know the point that barshir or whatever is making. They never wanted to buy any ventilators but innoson indicted the government by making a declaration that the can produce ventilators, which also implies that Nigerians need ventilators at this time but the govt. is not providing them.

I would have blamed innoson for acting "irresponsibly" by not contacting the government privately. But a promising brand should grow by boosting its corporate image through trust and transparency as done elsewhere. If innoson ever venture into backdoor negotiations like Dangote, the Fulani cabal can easily set him up and achieve their longstanding target of destroying his business.

Coronavirus: Five-year-old donates N950 savings towards medical supplies


A five-year-old schoolgirl has donated her savings to support the battle against the coronavirus pandemic in Ogun State.

Kemi Ogunleye, a Basic-1 pupil, made the donation of N950 following government’s appeal for support to get medical supplies for coronavirus patients in the state, according to her father Olalekan.

“My daughter said she wants to join the rest of the world to fight the COVID-19 pandemic,” Mr Ogunleye told PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday. “So that they can return to school.”

Mr Ogunleye, a chemical engineer and data analyst based in Abeokuta, said his daughter operates a piggybank account from where she withdrew N1,000 to donate. The amount was reduced to N950 after transactions charges were deducted.

Schools have been shut across Nigeria for more than two weeks amidst the rush to prevent the virus from spreading. Other social and economic activities have also been disrupted.

You sound pained. Easy bros. No time for tears here

nonen:
Firstly, these are not normal times, the need for a expedited solutions outweighs bureaucratic bottlenecks, especially as those solutions don’t threaten the life of users.

Secondly, innoson has produced thousands of cars and have thousands of customers, that’s amazing credibility he’s built for himself. Those cars have served equally as other renowned brands.

Thirdly, there’s no attempt by government to engage him because of political reasons.

Interestingly, the university claiming to build a prototype is a fully funded government university that doesn’t generate revenue. After the prototype, they will need an innoson type of factory to start producing the prototypes, or have to built a new factory, or as we usually do, take the prototype to China, build it there and import with forex. lol. mumu

I have been of the argument that leadership is the problem in Nigeria, but I’m beginning to see that fellowership is even worse.

A country that can’t trust its citizens, but is quick to lick the arses of a white skinned man will never succeed. It becomes even worse when it’s citizens support such stupidity due to emotional reasons and not facts. The government can’t produce, can’t support those who can because they’re not from their extraction.

Lifebank, a health startup that finds and delivers blood to patients has turned its attention to seeking critical medical equipment for Covid-19 treatment and has created a national register to track hospitals with working ventilators and respirators. Hotel booking platform Hotels.ng has partnered with hotels to create isolation centers across Nigeria, an added buffer for the country’s limited quarantine facilities.

For its part, Jumia, the pan-African e-commerce giant, has donated face masks to Nigeria’s health ministry and has replicated the gesture in Kenya, Ivory Coast, Uganda and Morocco. Jumia has also offered its logistics network to distribute health products for local authorities.

Some of the support has come in form of targeted funding too. One year-old genomics research startup 54gene has launched a $500,000 fund to boost local testing capacity for coronavirus. It’s a significant move especially given Nigeria’s alarmingly low number of tests: South Africa has tested 100 times more people than Nigeria. Ventures Platform, a local VC firm, has also partnered with the Lagos science and research agency to find and fund innovative tech-based solutions that tackle coronavirus-related issues.

It's ok. You can see how he's struggling too. His mental ability compares favourably with urs. You can have him.

diplomat058:
You can swim on in your pool of self delusion, no qualms. How on earth does a self-acclaimed learned person need to be spoon-fed on how R & D, an integral aspect of manufacturing production, is part of production?

To create the utility, perhaps you don't know that you have to design the utility to be created and the resources committed to that end are passed of as manufacturing (R & D) costs. Go and tell Hyundai, Mercedes and Ford that their R & D departments are not production units of their firms.

Dangote to produce 20,000 bpd oil from July – Official


Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, will begin production of oil from two assets he snapped up from Royal Dutch Shell Plc in July, adding a new source of income to a fast-expanding business empire.

In an interview with Bloomberg, the group executive director at Dangote Industries Ltd, Devakumar Edwin, said Mr Dangote is working with Chinese and Malaysian contractors and has completed a development plan for the Kalaekule field on its Oil Mining Lease 72 asset.

Work will then move to an undeveloped KI discovery on Block 71, a small shallow water asset in south-eastern Niger River delta.

“We are looking at the first phase of 20,000 barrels a day but our objective is to expand it to 100,000 barrels a day for the two blocks.

Whiteangel1234:
Innoson is a Private Business man he can't go into producing Ventilators without a Ready market to buy it , Ventilators in Mass Production is not car you can sell to individuals but Ventilators especially mass Production can only be bought by Government Or very Large hospital who may have only few pics its not a moving market for a Private Individual

So that 4 billion maybe contract to supply Govt 5000 ventilators . Just like Dangote cannot Build Refinery without direct assurance of oil well from the Nigeria Government so Innoson cannot start Mass Production of Ventilators without Assurance that Government will purchase if he dare such risk he will collapse in 2 months
