Long story short, he is still reassembling. I totally support that, why are your brothers on here mocking Nord for the same thing? 98% of IVM sale have been to the government, not even the ones blabbing here screaming amaka this amaka that are actively patronizing the brand, instead they are going to tour the factory and take pictures in their German and Japanese cars.

Chinese and trusted models in the same sentence, seriously? even you should know how funny that sounds. If not for our corrupt leaders that has sabotaged our education system, we wouldn't be cheering car reassembling in the 21st century and making it out to be a sign of tribal superiority. Person wey curse this country with mediocrity no nice oooo.[/s]
Nord is just importing CKD vehicles and couples them here. There is nothing special in what he is doing.

I wonder how a sane person will want to compare a company that exists only in name and an empty warehouse with a vehicle manufacturing company like Innoson.

Jokers, we will watch out and see what happens in the coming years.

You are the complete illiterate here. Despite your acclaimed years of exposure, you keep making mockery of your education. You do not know the meaning of what you are using to mock Innoson. First go and read what rebadging means then come back and engage me.


For sane minds, Innoson as a start up car manufacturing company do not at the initial stage have the resources to invest in the highly capital intensive project of Research and development or modelling in the industry. He could not afford the trial and error which big companies like Ford, Mercedes, Volkswagen use in manufacturing new models of cars. Can innoson afford to recall 10000 cars at once and destroy it because of design error like we see often from big manufactures? He will fold up even before he starts. So as a smart business man, he went into partnership with a Chinese company whose models are trusted, in order to use their specification to manufacture something similar under his company name. By Innoson doing so, he achieved the following.

1. Reduced cost: No huge fund in R& D initially. Only small amount is spent on researching about smaller parts. He goes straight and manufactures without huge loss.

2. A model that is already a success: No trial and error in the market because people will love it.

3. Economics of scale. In a price sensitive market like Nigeria, he could at least compete with tokumbo cars.


Innoson builds his vehicle in Nnewi with a market trusted specification and a model which has 90% acceptance in the market. In essence he is legally leveraging on the more technically advanced R & D department of Baic or whoever he is in partnership with. Today he has established his own Innoson Academy and in the nearest future he will touch the sky.


This is quite different from importing CKD vehicles which was manufactured in China then reassemble them in Nigeria. There is enough video evidence on the internet to prove that actual manufacturing is taking place at Nnewi.
God bless you for this enlightening piece. The hateful and ignorant bigots from the waste are so jealous of Innoson. They always feel threatened by Igbo exploits which makes them to always try to measure up with Igbos but they often end up making a fool of themselves.

How can a sane person compare a showroom company like Nord to Innoson? Nord is just like Coscharis, Elizade or Chagoury but the only difference between them is that while these ones import full body specs, Nord on its own imports CKD that are reassembled on arrival. The fact that Nord has hastily bought another land when they are staying in an empty warehouse shows they have no intention of going into real manufacturing like Innoson but are probably a front established by a well connected politician who wants to corner some deals under the guise of locally sourced cars.

Nord in its present form can't add any significant value to Nigeria whatsoever. However, in contrast, Innoson will boost Nigeria's drive towards industrialization. Innoson will create massive jobs directly and indirectly. Innoson will earn forex for Nigeria while saving capital flight. Innoson will help the military. Innoson will promote the image of Nigeria and put it on the map of car manufacturing countries.

Through its academy, Innoson is developing local technology that will help it to survive and become a global player like Toyota and the rest.

Innoson is one of the best things to happen to us in recent times and no amount of hate, jealousy or bigotry by these waste people will diminish his exploits.

To be realistic, there is nothing to celebrate here, at least not yet. Anybody with cash and a little connection can actually do this.

If you holistically look at what these Nord guys are doing, you will discover that these guys are probably a front for some politicians who want to corner some deals.

Ask yourself, why would a company that just came up yesterday, be buying another massive acres of land when they are yet to understand the industry?

These guys are obviously in this for importation reasons.

You're fast in joining others to castigate Igbos yet you lack objectivity to do so.

These same guys you're supporting are the ones that always criticize Innoson unnecessarily.

Nord shouldn't and can't be compared to Innoson yet except for mischief. They only import parts and body 100% in CKD containers and recouple them. However, Innoson manufactures most of its parts in Nigeria and buys others from local manufacturers in Nnewi but imports its engines. Innoson is the type of industry that can effectively grow Nigeria through massive job creation, forex earnings, technology transfer etc.

What Nord is doing is no different from what the likes of Coscharis, Elizade and Chagoury are doing i.e. selling another company's products that were wholly manufactured abroad. The only thing is that while these ones import their cars in full body while Nord imports its own in CKD thus they offer no value to Nigeria in real terms.

I just illustrated the meaning of certain words in Benin Language in my post you first quoted. You could not prove that Okoro in Benin doesn't mean prince. Or that Uwa (like the girl sadly murdered in church) does not mean wealth/progress. So what's your argument about? shocked shocked

All I care about is that people have the right to identify with who they want in accordance with what they know about their history. If Zik of Africa said in his book that he is the descendant of a Benin prince later popularly known as Ezechima, no idiot has the right to rubbish Zik for it. And that applies to anybody else. Let people write their own history. QED.

Find another avenue to unleash your frustration.
Lol, such a funny guy. Does the okoro or uwa in Bini bear the meaning with same names in Igbo?

Virtually all languages have similar sounding names but mostly with different meanings. There are Igbo words and Yoruba or Hausa or even English words that sound alike without having same meaning so what's your point?

Bini prince who was named Ezechima? An Igbo name or does Ezechima has any meaning in Bini? If Ezechima sojourned in Benin at some point and later returned to Igboland, so it now means he originated from Benin?

If he was originally from Benin, then why was he called Ezechima instead of those awful and difficult to pronounce names of yours?

If Ezechima was of Benin descent, then why or how did he end up with Igbo language, culture, and tradition instead of Bini's?

Does it mean that England is today under Germany? The Royal family of Sweden came from France, is Sweden under France today?

The first Oba of Lagos and Olu of Warri were Benin princes, are these kingdoms under Benin today?

You and your Yoruba friends believe that originating from somewhere means inferiority, that is why so much fight to twist history.

That due to more population of Yoruba on Nairaland, making wild claims, reflecting higher population of Yoruba compared to Benin in Nigeria does not mean they have any evidence. Evidence desperately cobbled together by ewedu academics. grin cheesy

Benin people are not the ones conniving with Hausa Fulani to deny you lot your due in Nigeria 50 years after Biafra war.

Those new friends of yours also connived with Hausa Fulani to massacre you people in Anioma.

For your information, it's this silly and useless talk by Alake, a very recent monarch in history, that made Oba Akenzua the second to lead Midwest out of Western Region.

We are used to the shinanigans of fake Yoruba and immigrants to Yoruba land who over do it. Like religious zealots who converted newly overdo it.

Go face your history and current life with Yoruba since you call yourself Igbo.

Benin has perfectly dealt with Yoruba for centuries.
I'm sorry, you're not making sense.
What do you mean by Anioma originating from Bini?

If they're of Bini descent then why are there nothing to show or prove that aside fantasizing about some ridiculous myths and legends?

Are you saying that the progenitor of all Anioma people was a Bini man but his descendants later abandoned the Bini language, culture, tradition and even physical looks and replaced it that of Igbos?

When it comes to Igbos in Nigeria, you start hearing all manner of bullsh1t in order to justify their entrenched Igbophobia tendencies.

Fulani herdsmen was named among the world's most deadliest terror groups, killing Nigerians in their thousands, yet no one used it against them or tried to profile them. Did it stop Buhari from contesting and did it stop you all from voting for him?

Did Boko Haram stop Atiku from contesting and did it stop him from almost winning if not for rigging?

You guys have never loved nor embraced the Igbos in the history of Nigeria!
Even before independence, Igbophobia was a pasttime in Northern Nigeria, partly because we are Christians and partly because we are aggressively progressives. These two issues are what made you guys to hate Igbos for no just cause.

Ahmadu Bello's anti Igbo statements is still available on the internet for anyone to confirm.

The funny thing is that you're quite a novice yet claiming to be well informed.
Go to Bonny island, deep in Ijaw territory, and see the indigenes speaking fluent Igbo and same with other places in Ijaw land, yet you don't see us claiming those people and places as Igboland despite all these factors. Yet you want to leave your rustic villages and start claiming people that have no linguistics, tradition or cultural similarity with you? Even in terms of physical appearance, there is no similarity whatsoever.

Why would you see Anioma claiming Igbo when they're already Igbo?

What is the meaning of Anioma in Bini?

If they're not Igbo, will they be answering Igbo names, observing Igbo cultures and tradition?

Would they even be part of Ohanaeze to start with if they're not Igbo?

Go and tell Ngozi Okonjo Iweala or the most prominent ruler in Anioma, the well learned Obi of Asaba, Chike Edozien that they're not Igbo and see what they would do to you.

There are asmall settlement of Igalas in Anambra and Enugu, so because they're in South East now means they are Igbo and no longer Igala?

Honestly, I really blame some of the Anioma people who doesn't understand the implications of allowing such insult by these guys to stand against them.

People are relying on myths and legends to claim being superior to another group of people that are totally different from them.

Of what benefit would associating with Benin offer to the Anioma people when they're even more populous, more educated, and more endowed in terms of human and natural resources than the said Bini, a minority group with nothing to offer?

In Benin Oko is dude, uwa is wealth. Okoro is prince. Oko mwen can mean my guy, my buddy or my pal in slang.

Okoro n'okhua is literally great prince but actually means heir apparent. Heir apparent becomes Edaiken of Uselu or crown prince after investiture and takes residence in his Uselu domain.

Ruling basically as a princely duke at Uselu. It is after investiture as crown prince that he doesn't see the Oba again. Hence investiture is much delayed in modern times so that he can keep seeing and learning from the Oba. Not exactly relevant to this topic but a chance to say it anyway.

Only okowa will know the context of his name.
I don't blame people like you, rather I blame some of the misguided people in Anioma land who does not understand the implications of allowing your cooked up myths and legends to stand instead of outrightly rebuking anybody that makes such ridiculous statement.

I will personally consider it an insult for someone of a totally different identity and origin to impose themselves on me and claim I belong to their clan.

Does it mean I don't have my own origin?
Are you saying that Bini is superior to Anioma and they've to kowtow to them?

The Yorubas are already proving with evidence that the Royal stool in Benin is being ruled by their descendants and that Oba of Benin is under the authority of Ife, instead of you to channel your energy into either proving them wrong or accepting it, you are here insulting Anioma people.

So any Igbo community that lies in the South South automatically becomes an ethnic nationality that is different other Igbos in the South East?

What is the definition of tribe and ethnicity?

Or are you saying that a phrase called South South that was recently coined for political convenience (even when it has no meaning in geography, cardinal point nor is it even in constitution) is now more authoritative in determining a person's identity than their heritage that has been part of them since the very beginning?

Excellent response by the FG. I suggest Nigeria temporarily withdraws from ECOWAS, just to get the rest of West Africa to sit straight.

Nigeria contributes nearly 80% of all ECOWAS funds and those funds help with so many things, from regional security to emergency food and health supplies.

The Nigerian GDP is 75% of West Africa's GDP. West Africa has 14 nations that basically depend on Nigeria for their survival.

Nigeria should LEAVE ECOWAS for them, and ask Nigerian businesses in Ghana to return home.

Also, 70,000 Nigerian students are in Ghanaian universities, and they are made to pay in dollars there. This brings in billions of dollars to Ghanaian coffers each year. Nigeria should declare that it will not recognise degrees from Ghanaian universities henceforth, and end that phenomenon.

Let us see how long before Ghana gets their head straight after these measures.

If they continue their madness, the FG should consider sponsoring rebel movements in northern Ghana and neighbouring Burkina Faso to infiltrate and destabilize that country. Their military is ranked 28th in Africa, while Nigeria is 3rd or 4th. Even Burkina Faso is ranked above them militarily.

Ghana have become too proud and arrogant at the peace and relative prosperity they have garnered using the regional security that Nigeria has provided the region over the last 20 years. They must be taught a lesson they will never forget.
Ghana is obviously biting more than they can chew. They have embarrassed, humiliated and insulted Nigeria and Nigerians to an extent that no normal country would accept and what makes it the more ridiculous is that we are talking about a little banana republic here!

What Ghana is doing to Nigeria can be likened to Vietnam trying to humiliate China and we all know how it will go down, China will make them to suffer terrible consequences!

So the question is, why would Nigeria be tolerating all these indignities from Ghana when we have all it takes to bring them to their knees and have them come begging in Aso rock??

For a start, we can immediately stop gas flow to Ghana.

We can place embargo on trade with Ghana, no more imports or exports to them. Including their films and music videos shot there.

We pass a law that will nullify any certificate obtained from Ghana schools going forward, and direct all Nigerians schooling there to transfer back to private universities in Nigeria if the public ones are not good enough or just go elsewhere aside Ghana.

A tit for tat by sacking their embassy and consulate workers in Lagos and Abuja, and seal of the premises under any guise.

A tit for tat by placing more punitive measures against their nationals in Nigeria in the way of harrasments and high levies for papers.

We can rally other West African countries against them, and isolate them. We have the clout to do so.

Encourage Nigerian brands to divest from Ghana and go elsewhere.

Any smart country and leader would do this and bring these guys to their knees which will make others to take lessons.

From my own studies of some recently excavated scrolls, there is now a new and overwhelming evidence that ikwerres are not from Benin but actually Igala. Akalaka's father was the lost son of the Attah of Igala who ran away from Ogorimagongo in 3000BC. He later arrived in present day Aluu community where he established a camp and took up a new identity.

This new discovery is really causing serious tension and may pitch the Attah of Igala against the Oba of Benin as both struggle over the ownership of ikwerre and the surrounding areas stretching from Calabar in the East to Eko in the West.

Then they became bilingual due to trading activities among the many ethnicities in that area of Delta North who used dialects of Ibo for communication. An Agbor (Ika) indigene from a royal lineage posted here on NL years back that it was during the British colonialism that the foreigners introduced Ibo language for education and religious instruction. She said they resisted the use of Ibo in their church by a priest when the Ika language (which has Edo and Iboid mix) should have been used in church. The Olukunmis also speak a mix of Yoruba and Iboid mix in Ugbodu town and Ukwunzu town, with the later being more Ibonized. Eko Efun means "white chalk" in Olukunmi language or Ukwunzu in Ibo. Nduka Ugbade, the captain of the victorious 1985 China U-15 World Cup Team is from the Olukunmi town of Ugbodu in Aniocha North not far from Onicha Ugbo which has Bini and Nri migrations in some of the quarters.

Another load of rubbish!
So you've given up on your people in Ilorin who the Fulanis have been subjugating since the 19th century to be claiming Anioma that has no relationship with you, be it in language, culture, tradition, food, or even appearance??

How pathetic can these people be shocked

Ikwerre is like a cancer cell to Ndiigbo body.
The more you let them stay attached to us, the more they spread their toxic Igbophobia to neighboring Igbo speaking groups .
These guys are so pathetic and ridiculous. He is obviously afraid that Etche people are abandoning them in their stupidity and it made him to lose his senses.

Ndia ga ata afufu. Okwa uwa ka anyi n'ile no. Echi d'ime, onweghi onye ma ihe oga amu.

Even an Ijaw person in this same thread was encouraging the Op to embrace his Igbo heritage but ndi aburu onu si na ha bu ikwerre ana ezuzu.

My happiness is that by the time other Igbos return fully under one umbrella with us, they would be far gone and would be reduced to the minority they obviously are.

Uche Okwukwu who is from ikwerre was even saying that Igbos constitute 72% of Rivers voting population. By the time all the other Igbos return to the fold, then I will know if ikwerre can ever rule Rivers again.

RuggedSniper:
The Yorubas know that the "sky descending" story is an allegory/mythology. Yoruba people and history existed before the rise of the Oduduwa Dynasty in Ife and this is an open secret in Yorubaland.
Look at this land grabber. You're even displaying a useless map that adds Itshekiri as part of Yoruba.

What business does Anioma have with Yoruba? You come all the way from your waste, jump over Edo to claim relationship with Anioma?

One of the biggest problems of the Black man is inability to reason properly and logically, and you're a typical example.
