The present political class will continue to frustrate the fight against corruption. The skeletons in their cupboards are massive. This nation will never get out of the woods with these people in government. We will keep on spiralling in a cycle.
Tell me a strict legislation by any of the two chambers against corruption since the advent of democracy and I will show you a Legislator that will pass an integrity test. These people are not out to make the difference. |

emi14: Yes Apostle Suleiman had sex with you, and what about it? He is of age to engage in relationship and sex. He has the money to finance 3 ladies at a time including you Stephanie...shame unto you. You're so cheap. How can you claim he promised you marriage yet slept with 3 of ur friends or colleagues at same time same bed same room..shame again. You are irresponsible and classless, no wonder he left you. Stop disgracing yourself. You can go to court and win him. Tarnish his image as you can but your dignity is gone. Suleiman is not going to jail, he didn't rape ur loose self. He had sex consensually with you. yes he did. What else young lady. But you Suleiman what are you doing with this lady the father disregard. You are guilty of extra marital relationship and adultery. God is ever loving and forgiven. Stop your shallow defense. Why T.b Joshua is not mentioned, Chris Okafor Chris Oyakhlome, pastor Peterside Idah and other renowned men of God. Maybe you condemned the Government? Count your teeth with your tongue. Goodluck. Very apt. You are on point. |

This is clearly Miss tempation. He that he thinks he stands should take heed lest he fall....so says the holy scriptures. All that she packaged  don't respect anointing. I think the Pastor should rescind from taking out prostitutes from the streets for now. This is a project gone bad. Truth obviously would come to play. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Stephanie Otobo: Going To Prison Was My Punishment For Having Sex With Pastor by Walelavender(m): 4:51pm On Mar 10, 2017 |
This is one scandal too many. Truth is irrepressible, no matter the effort to suppress it. Repentance is key. Sanctification is a massive work of grace. Restitution is integral. If truly the MoG did it, he should do the sequence, but if the lady is telling a lie, her generations to come will not escape the divine wrath.
Now, it should be said that sexual activities as a single and outside marriage are terribly appealing but temporarily satisfying, riddled with guilt. It will never be a beneficial addition to your destiny rather it mars it. Run! |

He should resign. Yes resign! Else the cabals would continue to feed their ego with unproductive decisions that would not get us out of the woods. |

We need to make our local contents more attractive, readily available and be able to compete favourably with imported goods. I can't fathom why Ajaokuta is still in a moribund state while we keep on importing iron rods and sheets in exorbitant rate. If you are in the construction industry, you will just be discouraged with the price fluctuations of materials every week! The infrastructure deficit is massive.

Car Talk › Re: RE: Why Nigerians Are Not Buying Innoson Cars (Misleading Post By AutoReportNG) by Walelavender(m): 11:03pm On Mar 01, 2017 |
I don't seem to agree with this OP with the counter thread. The market in Nigeria is very big and competitive. It's just like saying Ebonyi rice tastes so good while you can hardly find it mama Nkechi's shop. Imported rice will always find its way into our pots. If you really want a reasonable patronage without crying wolf that your countrymen have abandoned your products, please make it readily available with a touch of quality. Save our ForEx! Not selling to the Twitter Senator alone  For how long would they want to continue to crawl in the automobile industry? |
Car Talk › Re: Why Nigerians Are Not Buying Innoson Cars by Walelavender(m): 8:20pm On Mar 01, 2017 |
AutoReportNG: When it comes to cars, luxury and showing off, Nigeria takes the lead in the world. It is only a Nigerian that will have 3 to 4 cars and still stay in a rented apartment, no wonder the likes of Kia, Toyota, and the likes take Nigeria as their second home. Lagos especially being the commercial city of Nigeria boasts of roughly 5 million cars.
When Goodluck Jonathan administration signed the automotive law last 2 years, it was greeted with mixed feelings as Innoson was on the lips of many Nigerians that it will help boost its local productivity, but this seems not to be the case as the only indigenous automobile company, Innoson Motors is struggling to catch up, it was reported last year that the company was considering closing its factory and sacking all its workers which the company later denied and released a statement.
We did a cross check, and a background analysis on why Nigerians are not patronizing their own despite Nigerians love for cars, luxury and showing off, these few findings are what we found disturbing, and we urged the management to quickly look into it.
1. Customer Care/Social Media
A Chinese proverb says, "If you don't know how to smile, don't think of opening a shop." Nothing amounts to great customer service and relations, a cross check at Innoson Motors website is nothing to write about, the site was linked together with its parent company. Innoson is a brand itself and so should be made to stand out, the navigation, the contents there are just too boring to read or to assimilate. It is being expected that Innoson website ought to have a functional chat, email and social media that is up and running. A visit to their Twitter page shows that they last tweeted on 11th of Feb., 2017 and their facebook page 20th August 2016, where companies like Toyota, Peugeot, etc. tweets at least 5 times daily. Nothing amounts to having an excellent customer care, a responsive website, and a proactive social media personnel.
2. Show Rooms
I smiled when I checked for Innoson showrooms, and I can only see four in the whole of Nigeria, I said to myself, these guys are not ready for business yet. Lagos is a cosmopolitan city. Therefore, this is where your marketing strategy has to come in full force. Innoson only has one showroom in Lagos and its not even in a high brow area like VI or Lekki area, they went and site their showroom in Oshodi-Apapa Expressway. A school of thought says you take your wares to where you know your clients will be able to see them. Even if you are trying to be relevant, you need to come up with the marketing strategy to attract the high-class men you made these cars for. How many people will find you in Oshodi? BMW has at least 15 showrooms in Lagos state alone and they are located in high brow areas like Lekki, VI, Ikoyi etc. Even if you can't open a shop there, you can partner with likes of Lanre Shittu, Coscharis Motors etc. Innoson, time to wake up.
3. Spare Parts/Accessories
One of the worries of car owners is finding spare parts for their vehicles, a check at spare part dealers at Ladipo market, the largest in Africa shows that the parts are not available. I was talking to a friend who is a driver, I asked him if he has heard of Innoson Motors and he said he is just hearing the name for the first time, how can you expect someone of that caliber to introduce the brand to his company talkless of finding the spare parts in the market. I think the firm can collaborate with the spare part dealers and make these parts available to them in bulk.
4. Advert! Advert!! Advert!!! Nothing sells in this world without an advertisement, Innoson has been behind in promotion and advertisement, I wonder if the firm is afraid to spend or partner with media houses. Last week when Mercedes-Benz wants to release its new models to the market, it invites newsmen, bloggers, and lots more. Advert can be in form sponsorship, beauty pageant etc
5. Create a niche of your brand
I see most of Innoson vehicles as a replica of some other cars I have seen before. Take for example, the Innoson G-Wagon is a complete replica of Mercedes-Benz and some of their cars, it's quite essential for them to produce something unique and relate with.
