JAMAICA

That goes down to good business environment
Good infrastructure stable electricity supply etc

Just30:
that mostly depends on where the money is coming from

Even if the projects are financed by African govts they still prefer European Chinese Japanese and American contractors

Just30:
exactly
and some african government are still doing the biddings of europeans

African countries are still giving foreign contracts to build roads instead of priotizing african construction companies

Just30:
now that he has receive some level of government support

he can only go higher

Government is going to commercialize his farm machines like tractors, combine harvesters, and etc

Lack of govt support is the main killer of innovation in Africa

Just30:
how far is the fact that, we used that to gain access for some Ghanaian companies in the Nigerian market
and if you try screwing with those companies access again

WE WILL SQUEEZE THE BALLS OF NIGERIA even harder

your government value those petty traders quite well

How about Ghana airways

GERALD710:
I have always assumed Nigeria on average has climate similar to Mombasa, where many people have Solar water heaters for heating water for cooking(it saves on electricity.A LOT!) and in the cooler months, bathing. Heck I have even seen several solar and wind powered gates and security lights like Sollatek on the Mombasa Malindi Road, the Streetlights around PetroCity and in Kenyatta University. Given that Nigeria is hotter than much of Kenya(Given that Kenya's highlands moderate our climate a lot) you would think they would use solar and in their Harmattany North, Wind. But it is Generators

Where i come from our county government has installed solar powered streetlights

Just30:
yes
as at last year
He received 13,000 orders from other African countries

That is good it will be big in the future

edon21:
they can't ban them cause they contribute to their economy growth.
and if there is anything like sending Nigerian industries out, Nigeria will fare better and that s what Nigeria needs Now. indeginous partici

But Ghana closed Nigerian owned shops in Ghana .

Just30:
no

Okay
Is it exported to other African countries

Just30:
its catching up with Ghanaians

it's not that cheap

Is it more expensive than imported vehicles

sufferNsmiling:
Diamond cement from ghana is banned from entering nigeria. Ghana spring company their products are banned from entering nigeria. Dunlop ghana and michelin ghana I'm finding it difficult to get their products in nigeria. I have to tell ghanaian companies to smuggling the product into nigeria. Look at benin republic it's smuggling more goods more than 3 billion us dollar of goods into nigeria in one year ghana can do better

Ghana has condusive business environment but
Nigeria is not condusive for business it is hard to make it in nigeria

[quote author=Iamleefact post=75011846][/quote]We are expanding daily next is moscow i hope so

sufferNsmiling:
I know toyota yaris toyota condor toyota venture these are 100% made in south africa and only found in south africa. Which are exported to other countries

Those belong to Toyota
I mean an african indegenous company
Like kantanka

Just30:
he moulds and cast his own engines

.
That is what Africa needs
Do ghanians like the brand or they prefer imported cars
How are they sales in GHANA

Just30:
They are afraid of competition from Ghanaian companies

Trade protectionism is bad for African intergration

Just30:
why should Ghanaian companies be based in Nigeria
when theres should be free movement of goods and services in west africa ?

all Ghanaian Pharmaceutical products are ban or not allowed into Nigeria
all Ghanaian cables and lighting companies products have been banned
Beverage manufacturers
cement products from Ghanaian companies
flour from Ghana mills
Ghanaian electronic products
etc

we still dont complain btecause we know, the sub region is big

That is unfair business practices
Why are they behaving like Tanzania

Just30:
guy
in Ghana
Kantanka make his own products oo
He only imports lightings and some of the electrical units


Innoson is the one doing the CKD importation from China

You mean kantanka even makes it is own engines
So why make engines and import the lightings
I have seen kantanka vehicles they are dope

Just30:
sorry boy
most of the goods coming from Ghana are produce right here in Ghana


BUT SINCE NIGERIA is scared of competition from Ghanaian companies

Ghanaian companies have resolved to look elsewhere
the sub-region is big

What type of goods and products does Ghana sell to Nigeria
And how many Ghana companies are in Nigeria

sufferNsmiling:
Katanka has a future innocent motor does not have a future the guy is in massive massive debt owing gtb owing the chinese. The company has no future. He is just producing vehicles to pay the debts. Even the debt innocent motors is not known he is not coming out clearly how much he is owing also gtb bank is not coming out clearly how much is owing but what we know he is paying 22% interests no company can survive with that type of interest

We need African countries to manufacture automobile fully made in africa
Without importing some parts
You mean there are no Africans who can innovate vehicle engines must we import them

Uganda students did well by innovating a solar powered bus

Ibrahimanis:
Please don't tell me you are related to Kikuyu, that guy is a conspiracy theorist through and through.

No I don't think there is any sabotaging involved, just mismanagement.

Iam not conspiracy theorist
But you can't just tell me for all those years Nigeria power sector is still in shambles
There is some people in your govt who are benefitting from your power issues

edon21:
for people who can't afford the panels and some are not aware

Between a solar panel and a generator which is expensive
The cost of running a generator is too way expensive

Ibrahimanis:
True

But Nigeria's problem is not only generation, it's the whole value chain. Generation, transmission, distribution.

Installed capacity: more than 10,000mw

Average gen capacity: 3500-4000mw (we need to make sure all our plants are working at optimum capacity first)

Transmission capacity: about 5000mw (there was a time when generating companies (Gencos) manage to generate about 7000mw but 2000mw was stranded because it cannot be transmitted)

Distribution capacity: 6000mw plus.

So you see. It doesn't matter if we build 100 mega plants, the transmission company can't transmit to distribution companies (DisCos) and even if they manage to transmit all of it, discos can't distribute all of it.

Which is why government is more focused on overhauling existing plants and building more substations than building new plants.

And Nigeria's grid is too centralized. We need to break it up into more efficient mini grids.

So what is the problem i think somebody is sabotaging your power system
Don't you think so !?
Some generator cartels maybe

mtisTheQubit:
what if we generate electricity from solar energy (your country is sunny ) an the sell the extra to the gov through feeding it to the grid like in some western countries.It could be a game changer for some of ths folks.

You can own a solar panel instead of buying generators which pollute the environment

I dont why nigerians prefer generators to solar panels

Ibrahimanis:
How?

You were talking about how we import lipton
And then you jumped to on how kenyans cannot afford high quality tea

What is lipton? by the way

edon21:
I don't know what to call it..



Kenya but brit owned... lol
can we meet on fb. I'd like to be your friend

Just call it kenyan

Ibrahimanis:
Source?

Innoson never lied to anybody, it's clearly stated 30% imports to produce it's products. So it's manufacturing not assembling.

Unlike Ghana where that scammer lied to them and they fell for it.

Okay
But mobius also has never lied
I dont about the Ghana story they are so many theories i don't which to believe

edon21:
exactly. because it has it's base in kenya
okay .like Kenyan but British owned

And so it is Kenyan

edon21:
you haven't still realized your mistake. check the thread again

Okay i don't get it i give up on that .

edon21:
don't you understand what I'm trying to get to you?
the owner is a British and not like innoson that is owned by a Nigerian

I get it the owner is British i know
But there is no British automobile manufacturer known as mobius
But there is Kenyan automobile manufacturer known as mobius .

edon21:
you are definitely confused. don't you learn English in Kenya.
power in terms of electricity buffe

Do you have electrical power in Nigeria anyway you guys use generators
Ghana have stable power compared to you
