Where do you get this false rant that Innoson doesn't enjoy Government support?

The Governments, especially the Federal Government under President Buhari is the single largest buyer of Innoson vehicles.

I am not igbo my dear but I visit Igbo land regularly and see things for myself. Take a trip to INNOSON Car manufacturing plant one day and you will be shocked at how a man without government support can be determined to build a local car manufacturing franchise.

Lagos State was created in 1967 as a merger of parts of Western Region +the old Federal Capital territory.

The Old Federal territory which was solely for Administration was limited to Lagos Island, LML, Apapa, Eti-Osa and parts of Surulere LGAs.

The other 15LGAs(e.g Ikeja, Shomolu, Ajeromi-Ifelodun,Agege, Badagary, Epe, Oshodi etc) out of 20 Local Government Areas where parts of Western Region.

Awolowo/Akintola built Ikeja Industrial Estate.

lol...we do u guys lie boldly? During the regional era the east was Africa's fastest growing economy.

We were the largest exporter of palm products in the world.

In industry, the coal mines of Enugu managed by the Nigerian Coal Corporation and Nigersteel's rolling mill which used steel scraps to produce mild steel bars were one of the few coal mines and steel plants in operation in West Africa in 1963. During the NCNC led government, a cement factory was established at Nkalagu, Nigerian Breweries chose a stout factory at Aba, a Tobacco and glass making plant was located at Port Harcourt. Oil mining in the region started by Shell D' Archy in 1937 did not yield commercial quantities until 1957. But by 1965, oil was a promising source of income.
In commerce, the port in ph was the 2nd largest import and export port in Nigeria after Apapa. Mind u, lagos was not western region then.

We did best than any other region...google eastern region bro

It is not about others doing nothing. We are the ethnic group that started from nothing. All our progress was wiped out. We built everything we have nw from ground zero. That alone puts us on a different level!

I am, but you make others look like they are doing nothing, to be frank I envy the Igbo's and Yorubas but not like just Igbo's are the solution

Who told you that's the barometer for measuring success? And how many people do this companies you mentioned employed compared to the population of Yorubas? Are you not aware that Ndi-Igbo started afresh from ground zero having lost everything we had in the unjust war

Ritchiee:
Tell them to answer this first.If you are good,let us see what you have done before.

I really respect the Igbos for their positive potentials but I cannot lay my hands on any business they have built that had lasted like the Tribune,Punch,Iwe alaroye,alabukun,Odua group etc of the Yorubas.

They may be enjoying a little patronage now that they have become a brand the government can't ignore. You can't compare the support given to Innoson to that of Dangote. Cement importation was banned to give Dangote a near cement monopoly. Next year importation of petrol and petrochemicals will also be banned

Its OK to term them the problem of Nigeria, the tarnishers of Nigeria impeccable image,the second class inferior citizens,..but when they reel out facts as to why they are not anything like what you choose to paint them,u bay for blood.

How can you have a long lasting business when the entire Igbo land was demolished 50 years ago

Do you have cognitive disabilities? Can you compare your long lasting Tribune to 'The Sun' and Vanguard?
Don’t mind the idiat! Ibeto...INNOSON...ERISCO FOODS...COSCHARIS....BRITTANIA-U....The Sun newspapers....etc, aren’t these wholly Igbo owned brands that have lasted the distance!?

Igbo businesses have done relatively well considering the jealous, bigoted bastards like the one you quoted who are in gov’t and actively enact, promote and carry out policies aimed at either limiting Igbo success or destroying it completely!

Bros stop this childish whining.

It's unnecessary to be comparing Innoson with Dangote.

Importation of cement was banned in favour of local production by Ibeto, Dangote, BUA and West African Larfarge(Ewekoro), so what do you mean by Dangote's Monopoly?

All what you had before were thatched roofs.Igboland was underdeveloped by Igbos themselves because a lot of them flee to Yorubaland especially Ibadan.

Most of these are not even up to 10 years.It is a shame that you cannot start a business and nurture it for at least,30 years like the Yorubas.

Nigeria Edit
As of 2011, Nigeria was the third-largest producer, with approximately 2.3 million hectares (5.7×106 acres) under cultivation. Until 1934, Nigeria had been the world's largest producer. Both small- and large-scale producers participated in the industry.


Pls tell me...btw the1st three regions, which region was producing palm oil? West had cocoa, north had groundnut and east had palm oil...to the extent the east was called oil rivers protectorate

You are a liar and a big fraud my friend
The eastern region as at 1964 had the following:
1. Most valuable coal mines in Africa (Enugu)
2. Most Valuable oil wells in Sub Sahara Africa (oloibiri Rivers)
3. The world's largest producer of palm products
4. 2nd largest sea port in Nigeria (after lagos)

Mr west nigeria tell me what exactly the west was so confident, he could have declared u guys independent too when we left.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Region,_Nigeria
Eastern region was able to attain that because Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers were part of it. Now that they are not part of South East, what can you say?

Using past geographical achievements to brag.
