The just concluded Lagos International Trade Fair is a display of glitz and glamour. From cars to household materials to local goods, Lagos trade fair is one fair Lagosians and International community always look forward to yearly.

The National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) was at the trade fair and they exhibited some samples of Made-in-Nigeria vehicles by various local assembly plants at the on-going Lagos International Trade Fair holding at Tafawa Balewa Square which was held last week.

The exhibition is part of the intensified commitment of NADDC to promote the patronage of Made-in-Nigeria vehicles and locally produced automotive components and parts.

Among vehicles on display at the NADDC stand are assorted brands from Stallion Motors, Dana Motors, Peugeot Automobile Nigeria and Proforce Defense Industry.

A special attraction at the NADDC pavilion is the heavily fortified armoured personnel carrier (APC) being showcased by Proforce. The vehicle is armoured with high caliber ballistic materials that are equally used by internationally acclaimed armour companies in Germany, the United States, Israel among others.

Them no come oo... IVM hardly show up for shows and trade fairs, thats one of the major issues I had with them. ProForce that's into armor vehicles will come and market itself, IVM won't come and expect miracles.

Make I no talk before una go say I am not patriotic but I wish their management can sit up and be more proactive in marketing

Asides the ProForce (which looks like it is designed to kill its owner after the first 5,000 kilometres, the rest are Korean & Chinese made.

That's a good one.

He really needs to invest in marketing...brand marketing. I thought by now, he should have sponsored ad on social media and reputable magazines.

I hope he wakes up from slumber soon

Whenever we write about IVM, their supporters use to attack us that we hate them and we are tribalistic, so it's better you just keep quiet and watch from afar.

The management are not ready for business in as much as cars are concerned in Nigeria

Couldn't agree more.

I have said it over and over again that Innoson isn't ready for commercial business yet. No marketing and TV adverts at all!
I wanted to buy IVM 3yrs ago because of my passion to grow Nigerian brands. (I usually first check products in grocery stores and pick Nigerian-made brands ahead of imported ones.)
I couldn't find any information online or on TV about how to buy IVM cars.
I even went as far as pointing it out on IVM's Facebook page last year, hoping to see a change. For where!

I still vividly remember the Izuzu, Bedford and Toyota adverts on TV in the 90s.

The annoying part of everything is how some of our Igbo brothers and friends include this among several unwarranted claims of marginalisation by the federal govt. (Even though this govt has patronised IVM the most - if not the only one)

This political type of reasoning has weakened my threshold several times, but somehow I still manage to accommodate such sentiments and keep it cool.

This is cool.

Manufacturing in naija will reduce costs including shipping, handling and customs.

I feel innoson is not really into car business, he maybe be more into money laundering and loan scams

That's the only way I can explain their bad marketing strategies and over expensive cars

Innoson is only interested in govt contract supply.

They obviously can’t meet the demand requirements of commercial sales.

They are calling carmakers, you people are mentioning an illiterate fraudster assembling Chinese knockoffs.

Innoson is just using the auto assembly balderdash to cover face, he's into money laundering, fraud and forgery. That's his main business and criminals don't need advert.

Negativity runs in you

Any advice given to Innoson would be as if you hate him and you want to disturb him. He's a short-sighted trader who lacks the vision to see the opportunities that lay before him.

Instead of Innoson to step forward, market his products and wow his customers, he's content sitting in his warehouse in Nnewi, nagging that he needs Government support.

The problem Innoson has is what happens when a visionless trader stumbles into sudden opportunities. That one-man spare parts seller mentality has finished him. He can't package well and give corporate organisations reasons to patronize him.

Even among those refusing to tell Innoson the truth due to clannishness and primordial sentiments, how many of them have Innoson vehicles? They would refuse to tell him the truth because of the "he is our brother" mentality but when they want to buy vehicles, they forget that he's our brother and run to buy other brands.

Because of short-sightedness and lack of innovation, Innoson has failed in marketing, distribution and retail of his vehicles and he's now desperately hoping on Government magic.

Innoson's extreme lack of vision is really painful.

Made or assembled in Naija?

Fine

Slow and steady, we will get there

The problem with Nigeria has always been.

The so called made in Nigeria products is costlier than imported products.

Examples.

1. Cement is more costlier than ever.
2. Made in Nigeria Rice.
3. Made in Nigeria cars.

And the list continues.

Nigeria has been destroyed by their Devilish leaders.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Nice one. It shouldn't take time before we get there if only corruption forces will let us get there.

Nice but can it measure up to standard in the long run

OkaNaUbe:

You saved my time and energy.

OP these are assembled in Nigeria cars, there is no local content in these cars, all ckd components were imported even the water in the radiator.

stop misleading us.

Nigeria has been assembling cars since the 70s, its not a new activity.
