isthatso: Anybody can say anything on the internet. i hope you know? There are some things you read that you have to ask yourself...."does it make sense to you?" where are these things being manufactured? In have already asked you to tell me where these major components of any vehicle are manufactured in Nigeria. And if you are not manufacturing your own engines, transmission, windows, drive shafts, axles, wheels, lights, curved body panels, subframes, petrol tanks, seats, etc etc, what are you manufacturing that you get to 70%........battery? (bear in mind you said 90% but lets let that slide) I am 100% sure they do not manufacture these critical parts because you need to manufacture in hundreds of thousands and millions to justify establishing manufacturing plants for these components.
I am almost certain that alsmost no major auto manufacturer manufactures 50% of the components, it just doesnt make economic sense, so I take those figures with a grain of salt. For instance there are less than 5 or 6 companies that manufacture all the alloy wheels to nearly all the vehicle manufacturers in the world, there is a country I read about in Easter Europe i cant remmember which, one of their major exports is alloy wheels because they are a major supplier to worldwide vehicle manufacturers, there are 3 or 4 companies Bosch, denso,Delco that supply virtually all the electronic systems for all cars in the world. There are 2 or 3 companies that produce most of the gearboxes used in the world ZF being one of them. Most manufacturers do not manufacture their own seats, or tyres for instance. most airconditioners used in (0% of the worlds cars are manufactured by a handful of companies. if you find a company that can claim it manufactures more than 50% of it's components it is probably because it owns a subsidiary company like toyota owns denso and i think Gm owns Delco that also supplies other manufacturers making it viable. So when people just come talking rubbish, it shows ignorance more than anything. it's like the fashion industry (5 of all zips in this world are made by YKK and another company, the name I forget. manufacturing is a high specialised industry Innoson cannot manufacture even 20% of it's components for a mass produced car in a country like Nigeria and be profitable, even abroad it will be unprofitable at their volume level. People who do produce millions of cars every year. Most vehicle manufacturers design their cars, manufacture their chassis and then assemble components from suppliers. many dont even make their own engines. Innoson does none of these.
another reason why common sense will tell any reasonable person that innoson is not a manufacturer is because it has too many models. How many cars do they "manufacture" that they will setup a stamping die for each body part? how many body parts will the die produce to justify the expense? some things are just common sense. its like when people say Nigerin leaders have stolen 1 trillions dollars since independence...a sensible person will ask from where? how much oil have we produced that they can steal that kind of money? it all depends on whether you want to be reasonable or a jingoist.
Please if you must respong to me again, do some research and tell me where these vital components are manufactured in Nigeria or pictures otherwise lets just let this go, the more you quote me and I'm forced to respond, the more you will say I am anti Ibo so Lets just let this go I dont want to get into emotional arguments. If Innosson is indeed manufacturing even if it is only 10%. It is good for me as a Nigerian but there is a difference between manufacturing and assembling.
Your jagons can't change the fact Innoson is the only vehicle manufacturing company recognized in Nigeria many foreign media has visited his company, there's no need wasting your energy trying to write him down IVM plant is open for all to visit, he is already recognized as the only vehicle manufacturing company in Nigeria

[/s] You are ignorant, no vehicle Manfacturer manifacture 100% of their parts, they source their parts from different vehicle parts manufacturing companies, for example Bosch Manifacture Windows, Side mirror, headlights, There are 48 motor vehicle engine Manifactures in world, some vehicle manfacturers Manifacture their own, while some manifacuture for other vehicle Manfacturers
isthatso: people using the word aseembly and manufacturing interchangeably does not mean they mean the same thing. Innoson vehicles are all produced under license, which means they source their parts from the real manufacturer in China and assemble them in Nigeria. That is why you will see ALL innoson vehicles in other countries under different names. I have no doubt that some of the components may be subsittuted for local manufacturers e.g batteries and the panels for the buses may be fabricated locally because they are flat but you need a stamping plant to produce all other metal parts with complex shapes, things like the wheel well, the etc especially in the cars,
Forget about what govt said, we have become an uneducated nation who use words anyhow. Annambra motor manufacturing plant Annamco has been in existence for 30-40 years, it assembled mercedes trucks. Just like Peugeot Asembly of Nigeria, dont get too seduced by words. All i asked is show me where these items mentioned are manufactured in Nigeria by Innoson or for innoson...that's all, simple no need for abuse, just show me the innoson factories that produce these 90% made in Nigeria components!!!
what determines whether you are a manufacter or an asssembler is the proportion of the constituent parts that you manufacture from raw materials yourself. I am not trying to knock or pull down Innoson, he is a pathblazer, a role model a true Nigerian or Ibo industrialist. But please dont demean what he is doing by calling him a manufacturer. he is not a manufacturer ...yet!! his achievements set him apart without people having to call him what he isnt.
A car consists of the subframe or chassis, complex shaped body panels, engines, transmission, drive shaft, steering, axle wheels, suspension, windows, seats, there is not much else to a car after these. So except for flat outer body panels for buses, which of these does innoson manufacture and where is the plant that manufactures it/them? However if it makes you feel good to call him a manufacturer, I am happy to play along in order not to upset your sensibilities
70% of the car parts are produced locally, while the rest is sourced from Japan, China, and Germany
isthatso: yep it's starting to take hold, . It was started many years ago by jonatha's regime we moaned about the high duties on cars but the results are beginning to pay off. this is why people who talk about border closure and rice need to see the big picture. VW is about to start as well
I blame those that that ask why not IVM vehicles at first page, Innoson has been doing very well without Southwest, Innoson Vehicles is all over oil rich Niger Delta, Southeast and North they recently opened showroom in Kaduna, Nigeria doesn't end in West
Below is Ibeto vehicles battery manufacturing plant in Nnewi.
isthatso: you are showing me picture of tools used to cut and shape FLAt panels for buses , Are those stamping plants? where is the engine plant, who makes the engines, the gear boxes, the headlamps, the drive shaft, the steering wheel, the seats
why must you always get emotive and turn everything into hate? Bottom line like I said, if as governor of Ogun state i have assembly plants in Ogun state and Innoson is actually manufacturing but does not benefit me 9because it does not provide jobs for my state or IGR for my govt) i will not as a governor patronise innoson to the detriment of my own assembly plants that actually provide jobs and iGr for my state and people. Neither do i expect Obiano or any other governor in the same position.
you can carry on debate about assembly or manufacturing with yourself, it makes no difference to me. this is a story about jobs and growth. whether you are assembling or manufacturing, you are providing jobs and IGR. everything else is an ego trip and chest beating.
Innosson source their engines from Japan and China, most of their parts also source within, Nnewi is known for vehicle parts, mind you the only vehicle battery plant in Nigeria is located in Nnewi own by IBETO, Ngobros is into vehicle parts manufacturing, same with other companies in Nnewi, Nnewi in only town in Nigeria were manufacturing of Vehicle and motorcycle is possible, that's why first wholly made-in-Nigeria motorcycle, the 'NASENI M1' was manufactured in Nnewi, supervised by FG https://www.nairaland.com/1329230/first-motorcycle-produced-nigeria-nnewi
Below is battery manufactured in Nnewi the only made in Nigeria battery there are lots of vehicles parts being Manifacture in Nnewi.
isthatso: they are assembling what equipment do you want to see again?
bottom line; I am a governor, i have vehicle assembly plants in my state or region, they provide jobs to people who pay taxes to my state, their presence provides knock on employment for others in my state or region. This assembly plants are all in itheir infancy, some will not survive. I am obligated to do everything i can to patronize them because to patronise others brings no benefit to me and to patronize those who are local to my state helps them grow and the more they grow, the more stable and established they become employment and revenue they bring to my state or region. I will only patronise others when i have no local alternative. i am not governor of nigeria, i am governor of my state.
isthatso: Innoson is not a manufacturer, innoson assembles stop deceiving yourselves. In any event even if Hyuandai, Nissan, Honda etc are only assembling and Innoson is manufacturing, they are providing jobs for residents in the SW and IGR for the host state govts. only a foolish governor will patronise a product that brings no jobs or income to his own state and takes away jobs and igr from his state.
is innoson the one that manufactured the panels? where is his stamping plant, where did the get the steel? all you are showing are pictures of assembly
[/s] Can you show me the equipments in those pants you posted
There are difference between Manufacturing plant and Assembling Plant What you showed is assembling plant we have them here, ANAMCO and peace transport assembling plant all indigenous, why Innoson is different his plant is manufacturing plant you can see the difference below.

AutoReportNG: The Federal Government on Wednesday in Abuja pledged to ensure the delivery of a new international airport in Lagos before Easter celebration next year.
The Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, stated this in an interview with journalists at the end of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in the State House.
The minister also said the necessity to construct a new airport in Lagos had become compelling, bearing in mind that when the airport was first commissioned in 1980, it was meant to serve only 200,000 people.
However, he said the number of passengers using the airport has risen from 200,000 in 1980 to 8 million people today with a number of infrastructures there already collapsed.
He also explained that the plan for the overhaul of the Lagos airport is in two phases, noting that after the delivery of the new airport, the old one will be redesigned and reconstructed in acknowledgement of the growing population of Lagos as well as the attraction that Lagos continues to generate.
Meanwhile, these are the on-going construction of the new terminal of MMIA as obtained by AutoReportNG.... See more of the photos below

8 World Cities That Could Be Underwater as Oceans Rise
If global temperatures rise above 1.5° Celsius above pre-industrial levels—the ideal temperature limit set by the Paris agreement—global sea levels will rise by more than 40 centimeters (approximately 15.7 inches) by 2100. If temperatures top 2° Celsius, sea level rise will be more than 50 centimeters (approximately 20 inches) by century's end. This could be devastating to coastal cities around the world that are already vulnerable to storms and flooding because of geological or urban planning factors.
That is the finding of a report from Christian Aid looking at eight coastal cities especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The Christian Aid report is one of several from organizations around the world being published in anticipation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on how and if the world can achieve the 1.5° Celsius goal, The Guardian reported. The IPCC report, scheduled to be released on Monday, is expected to say that the 1.5° goal is possible with urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Christian Aid report helps illuminate what is at stake.
"These global metropolises may look strong and stable, but it is a mirage. As sea levels rise, they are increasingly under threat and under water," report author Kat Kramer told The Guardian.
Jakarta, Indonesia: At a rate of 25.4 centimeters (approximately 10 inches) per year, Jakarta is the world's fastest sinking city. Much of this sinking is due to the digging of illegal wells to access groundwater, since surface drinking water options are too polluted to be safe. Because more than 97 percent of the city is covered in concrete, the groundwater is not replenished by rain and rivers. The city is also sinking due to the weight of its buildings. In addition, natural flood barriers like mangroves have been cut down to clear space for housing.
Bangkok, Thailand: Bangkok faces a similar problem of skyscrapers pushing down on water-depleted soils. A study released by the city government in 2015 predicted it could be underwater within 15 years. Bangkok has taken some action to preserve groundwater, such as the Ground Water Act of 1977 that restricted the amount of groundwater extracted. The city is now sinking at a slower rate than before, and water is being pumped back into the ground, but it is not enough to save the city from rising seas.
Lagos, Nigeria: Lagos is built on the coast and incorporates a series of islands. Poor drainage worsened the impact of devastating floods in 2011, and some estimates say that just 20 centimeters (approximately 8 inches) of sea level rise could render 740,000 people across Nigeria homeless. Lagos also faces the problem of excessive groundwater extraction. In addition, authorities are planning the construction of a new island called Eko Atlantic, planned as a new capital and financial center and designed to be protected by a sea wall. There are concerns the new development could worsen flooding for the rest of coastal and island Lagos by pushing flood waters its way.
Manila, Philippines: Manila is also sinking due to groundwater extraction at a rate of 10 centimeters (approximately 4 inches) per year, 10 times the rate of climate-caused sea level rise. Another problem is its extensive rice fields, which consume more water than other crops and increase flood risk when illegal fish ponds are built in tidal channels.
Dhaka, Bangladesh: Dhaka is sinking at a rate of 1.4 centimeters (approximately 0.55 inches) per year, and sea level rise in the Bay of Bengal is apparently around 10 times the global average. About 1.5 million people have already migrated from coastal villages to the city's slums. Dhaka's woes are made worse by groundwater extraction. The fact that the Indian plate and Burman sub-plate are moving in a way that causes Dhaka to subside adds to its woes, though groundwater extraction plays a larger role in its sinking than plate tectonics. Shanghai, China: Shanghai is another major city sinking under the weight of its own development as groundwater extraction and increased building cause it to subside. It is also losing sediment that would naturally protect it because its rivers are dammed or because it is used for building materials. Shanghai did work to take action against sinking by requiring official permits for wells from 1995 and sourcing more water from the river, and it has reduced its sinking from nine centimeters (approximately 3.5 inches) to one centimeter (approximately 0.4 inches) per year. It has also caused land to rise in some places by pumping water back into the ground. The report pointed out that in some places land had risen by 11 centimeters (approximately 4.3 inches), which is the difference between the sea level rise predicted for 1.5 and two degrees of warming.
London, England: During the last ice age, glaciers pressed down on Scotland, causing the south of UK land mass to rise. Now that the glaciers have melted, Scotland is rising at a rate of 1 millimeter (approximately 0.04 inches) per year, and the south of England, including London, is sinking. The Thames Barrier, opened in 1984 to protect London from a one-in-100-year flood, was expected to be used two to three times a year. It is currently used double that, six to seven times yearly.
Houston, Texas: Houston sits on the Buffalo Bayou and is naturally flood prone for that reason, but it also is sinking due to groundwater extraction and, ironically, from the extraction of oil and natural gas from the ground beneath it. The Houston-Galveston area has already lowered by three cubic meters (approximately 105.9 inches), and the northwest is sinking by two inches a year.
I remembered during my national youth service 2010, UN delegates told us then in Lagos business school that Lagos, Bayelsa will be under threat because of global warming, the two states will be submerge by flood, many were doubtful including me, my mindset changed during 2011 heavy flood in Lagos, the whole of Ikoyi, VI, Lekki and Lagos Island were submerged for three days, many properties destroyed, me and my girlfriend left our BQ slept in my Oga's apartment that night, even our security man slept in staircase, it was a horrible experience, thank God I left the city for good, no regret.
