Reacting to this, the company, via its twitter handle said Rome was not built in one day and went on to list some minor achievements the company has had since its inception.
Read below ;
1.Rome was not built in a day and the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. Innoson Vehicles will continue to grow steadily, closing the gap little by little, improving on its vehicles and services till it becomes one of the greatest exports from Nigeria
2.Any careful observer that has been monitoring Innoson Vehicles from the very inception will observe that there has been a tremendous improvement. 3.This is because IVM is using the concept of regionalization in the production of its vehicles by making sure that it considers the local taste and consumer preferences of the African region during production.
4.We ensure we get feedback from the users of IVM in order to know their views on their IVM experience and with this feedbacks we seek better ways to improve on the tastes and preferences of our customers to suit the environment.
5.For example, based on various feedbacks we got from our customers and users of our big vehicles we have improved on the clutch and brake systems, the engine capacity and the body structure of the bus.
6.IVM also improved on the interior décor and comfort by installing luxury seats, a robust air-conditioning system and an onboard entertainment system. IVM also improved on the suspension system of its vehicle, transmission system and enhanced shock absorber.
View conversation · 7.On the smaller vehicles, like the small buses, SUV’s, and Sedans, IVM improved on the fuel economy, the interior décor of the vehicles and the engine output.
8.Innoson Vehicles use SRS airbags, suspension systems that are internationally acceptable. On safety, it employs ABS in the production of its vehicles, together with EBD that ensures even distribution of brakes between the front and rear wheels.
9.On the engine output, IVM has gone a step further to engage the best engine manufacturers in the world to produce its own IVM engines that are environmentally friendly. Today we can categorically state that IVM customized engines are the best for the Nigerian environment.

But in this clip we see 3 women ridiculing and making small talk about successful women, to the extent of calling someone a FOOL!, she Even took her song off the systems programmed play,I don’t even understand the English or language this lady used to insult me when she mentioned my name.
However, I am even more perplexed as to the mental state of these women. How can people this wounded in spirit and poor in mind be able to get jobs that involve addressing millions of people, influencing their thoughts,educating listeners,promoting justice? Nonetheless!! Women DO support women!and unfortunately, these 3 are just a few of the bad eggs. I cant forgive you because you haven’t offended me to be sincere ,lion no dey concern imself with wetin sheep dey talk.
Even if i ran into them ,I wouldn’t even know who they are.if we start to listen in on the PURELY EVIL CONVERSATIONS PEOPLE have about Artists; female or male, omo data go finish. I know a few OAPS that know how to voice their opinion without being hateful, but these three ? Need re-orientation,re- education,, and redirection in life. This is def how they talk about all artists!all people! This is the hate they SPREAD! NAIJA WHICH WAY!
We didnt Rise to top because of insults ,neither can it bring us down!#soondelete.”

Lala Akindoju
On her Twitter page, the 32-year-old actress wrote: “The way Mike is being hyped for how he carried himself in the house shows how damaged we are.
“When a man is in a committed relationship, especially marriage, he should respect his vows and his wife. We shouldn’t celebrate people for behaving normally. We are used to bad behavior.
“I love Mike o, he is a favourite of mine. But he himself wonders why everyone thinks he did something special. He said it himself- it was easy because he won’t trade his queen for anything.
“The upside way we operate in this country has really done a lot of damage to us. Sigh.”

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,(EFCC) from the Benin Zonal Office on Wednesday October 9, 2019 arrested a suspected internet fraud kingpin, Akegor Godbless Omamuyorwi at his palatial home in Ughelli, Delta State.
The arrest of the 34-year-old alleged internet fraud kingpin, who is also a chief in his Agbaro Community, was triggered by a petition from a bank following complaint by a Canadian resident, who alleged that she had transferred the sum of $390,950.34 Canadian dollar to two different accounts in the same bank and suspects a scam.
Preliminary investigations showed that Omamuyorvi was involved in romance scam and presented himself as Mr Sheri Hunt, an oil worker in Milan, Italy to his victim.
He hoodwinked his ‘lover’ victim with the impression that he was sending her a package but demanded for money under the pretext of paying medical bills, legal fee and diplomatic fees.
To further give credence to his fraudulent activities in order to defraud his victim, he sent several emails purportedly from the Canadian Ambassador to Italy and the bank, persuading his victim to accede to his request.
The Commission has sealed his mansion in Ughelli and recovered two high-end cars, with personalized plate numbers from him.
Already, he has made useful statements and will be arraigned in court as soon as investigations are completed.

He was everything I wanted to be, a few years later at the lowest part of my life I met him again in Jos. He gave my brother and I the studio he had in his house and this is how we began making music that eventually led me here. Bola literally changed my life! 15 Years later I introduce his daughter Kauna Adebisi (@Kauna_a {IG}) to the world. With her amazing voice she comes from a lineage of music royalty!!”

But the boy will not let himself be dismissed that easily.
Eventually, Courtney gives in and says: “Excuse me, my kids are here… live television” – before the screen cuts to a map of Syria and Turkey.
She later explained “breaking news in Syria didn’t line up with preschool drop-off”, so she had to bring her 4-year-old and his twin brother to work.

Outrage as Regina Daniels slaps her mother in new movie
Delectable Nollywood Actress, and wife to Bilionaire, Nwoko, Regina Daniels in a new movie, rumoured to be worth millions of naira slapped her mother, Rita Daniels.
The movie, entitled ‘The enemy i know’ featured top actors and actresses in Nollywood and according to reports, the total production cost over a whooping sum of N150 million.
In the movie, Rita Daniels acted as a maid in the house, and during an encounter with her boss, Regina Daniels, she mistakenly poured hot tea on her dress, which earned her a hot slap from Regina.
Speaking during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, to herald the movie premiere, Rita Daniels said the movie centres on promoting gender equality in the society.
Reeling out the synopsis, she noted that;
“It is about billionaire Anthony Adewale who died under suspicious circumstanc and every member of his family scrambled for his wealth after his death”
Few days after MI Abaga educated Vector on ‘The Viper’, 100 Clown rapper, Blaqbonez comes through with something new also directed at Vector, tagged ‘Exile’.
The rapper likewise said he was at one time a fan of rapper, Lanre and consistently admire him, yet not any longer.
We can’t generally tell if Vector may discharge another diss track to these 100 Clown rappers or perhaps he will simply be tranquil and permit everything to blur off.

I’m Delta and also Urhobo, I supported you two but let’s be honest with instead of throwing sub.. then you came to the last Saturday night party and start telling him you are angry with him, now you are playing the NO card when you know the origin of the anger. It’s not about your NO but spitting him with the green Band.”
Venita then responded as this: “yes I wear my green band because my team genuinely cares for me and I for them. There’s footage of Seyi and Ike discussing how I did NOT share info across BOTH teams!! I was NEVER given a red band by any member at ANY point of my stay”.

Responding to the Instagram User, Venita wrote; “You don’t get to physically be inappropraite or verbally abusive to any woman based on rejection. I listed all the good qualities of this man as to why he should be in the finale. Gave him the most of my coin. Was the only housemate to support him physically during a challenge he felt disadvantaged due to injury. I was very defensive during workout with one of our trainers. Yes we may have not always seen eye to eye. But you don’t get to slander me for over 2 months straight. What is the BASIS of the bitterness?!”
