While I appreciate Yari
Abdulsalam for this commendable feat of supporting Innoson in exporting
Nigeria-made ( not locally made cars pls) cars to Mali, the Federal Government
of Nigeria should know that it has not done enough internal patronage to
support Innoson.
Its touching that Mali believes in Nigeria more than Nigeria believes in herself.

The Nigerian government
goes all over the world looking for foreign investment when her exportable
potentials are grossly under-explored. What we are looking for is right under
our nose. If its true that you need 9m people to produce 60m cars, the meaning is
that getting the 14 million cars plying Nigerian roads manufactured in Nigeria
will provide 2.1m jobs!
It is also worrisome to
see Innoson cars being called 'locally-made' instead of 'Nigeria-made'! When I
was growing up, the opposite of the word “original” was “china”. But today, you
have to consider that country called China to make real profit in most
enterprise. One thing is clear about that country. China believes in her
people. If you don’t believe in your citizens, why should foreigners believe in
them?
Innoson's production line
is better than that of some companies that bring automobiles into this country
and call them imported as if imported cars are made in heaven and can never
crash. No country attains high quality production in a day.
With NADDC's confirmation
that Nigeria has an auto-production capacity of 384000 cars annually, we, as a
country just have to believe in ourselves, celebrate our successes and consume
our products. This is a lofty feat and I say God bless Yari, God bless Innoson
and God bless Nigeria
