There is ZERO difference between manufacturing and assembly. They both mean the exact same thing. It is only in Nigeria that ill-exposed people like you make a distinction between the two. No manufacturer builds their own components, whether it is for vehicles or phones. Manufacturing is a process of gathering components from various sources and assembling them into a finished product.

OMG DUDE!!!! You just made a big public fool out of yourself!!!! The person you were rplying to is absolutely correct!!! There is a huge difference between manufacturing a part versus assembling a part!!! What planet are you from? In my line of work, people can manufacture semiconductor chips and then provide it to companies that can assemble those manufactured silicon wafers/chips to suit whatever application they deem fit! Hope you've learned at least to think before retorting blindly!!!!

Thank you my brother.
You see; so many naive people in this country who have little or no idea on how these things works.
No manufacturer produces stuffs at 100%.
For instance, HP dell, etc don't produce screen, Hard drives, Ram, etc.
But you see HP or whatever boldly written on them as the manufacturer.
In the mobile phone business; Samsung is the only manufacturer that produces its equipments about 95%.
But in this country; some folks would expect the opposite.
OH NIGERIANS!

No mind all these half educated people.

The main reason manufacturers prefer China apart from the cheap labor is the fact that you can easily get already manufactured components to create your desired product.

Even Innoson is trying here in Nigeria to be manufacturing his own fan belt, seat belts etc, other major car manufacturers elsewhere depends on another company to manufacture for them to assemble

naija gonna b great while I'm living.
if other tribes r research minded like Igbo den Nigeria wud av bin beta.
wen Igbo make anytin, d afonjas n illiterates up Nigeria map will tell us it's fake. dey use it but Neva appreciate it. China products r always fake in d mind of Nigerians but see dem today 2nd best economy, employers of Nigerians in football n technology.
appreciate whateva u av

China products are not always fake in the mind of Nigerians, it is what you want that they will produce for you.


Let me tell you a story, my father once imported a container of motorcycle tyres through a friends, and i tell you what? The tyre was good , thick and durable but it was expensive and riders here were reluctant to buy it because it was expensive, they prefer the once they will use for 3 weeks and burst. The few that bought out of the quality tyres appreciated it, before we sold all we had to reduce the price a little so as to sell it in time.



After that my dad didn't order it again, he stopped. He can't order low quality tyres that will be cheap so that him the importer can gain a lot of money.


The fake products from china in Nigeria today is because the importers are greedy and because they know Nigerians won't appreciate good products and prefer cheaper ones.


But you ibos just duplicate and manufacture bad shïts, you don't manufacture original products at all. That one na una problem.

alignacademy:


Thanks for this clarification.

Any thoughts on how those various components are sourced?

same way samsung sourced their components.

E.g, samsung is korean company,
Samsung uses snapdragon proccessor,
Snapdragon is american company, so they ship snapdragon from america, if they decided to use mediatek, they ship from taiwan.
android is from america also.
Battery could be made in china.
Then graphix card used on the phone could come from japan.
Then they assemble all the components and call it a smartphone and all the major revenue will go to south korea.

Get it now?

.

1. Hope its intending to train Nigerians to work there subsequently BECAUSE.......if not then its completely useless to the Nigerian economy.

2. For those shouting that no manufacturer manufactures his raw materials.... Why can't Nigeria make any reasonable attempt to at least start harnessing her raw materials so that these can be utilised to the maximum then any other thing we don't have will now be bought from outside... Cos whether you like it or not, importing everything is no different from just importing the phones straight away if no component of it is locally sourced...



Its eerie that things like this bring pride to Africans for the common man to beat his chest and claim that his country is now manufacturing smartphones....

3. Let us go and manufacture things we live on daily first, things we have raw materials for.... This phone thing is like hanging your bag where your hand no reach.... Ordinary toothpick and pencil cost millions to import....no be say trees dun finish or lead no dey..... Basic things..... Cloth materials, food items..... Things we can comfortably manufacture to subsistence and ultimately export...

The gospel truth everybody knows is that we will hardly be exporting this MADE IN NIGERIA PHONES.....

Other countries don't even trust you enough to import already made VASELINE from you...

must u call him ill-exposed easy nah

Even if American and foreign companies do not manufacture all their materials, at least they would have their imprint on the material, it maybe because the material is not in their country, so they create liaison there in other to manufacture the material there.



Why do some American countries establish their customer care centres in India, to cater for Americans complaints?

I hope the trend continues to get even better.

Anybody here that knows Under Armour?
it is an American company that manufactures footwear, sports and casual apparel.
Just like Nike and Adidas.

This is what the company has to say on how they get their materials.

Must you be stupid and chest-beating scumbag? Must you cunt?

I knew it , I knew one of you will bring your good-for-nothing flat head on this thread

It amazes me how you Igbos keep deluding yourselves with all sort of stupid and Igbotic rhetorics such as "Igbos are this and that" without anything to show for it in your region and other regions except hawking on our streets either in the North or the West. The only industry you as Igbos are holding down in this country is hawking in d traffic...

The 55% Industrialists of this great country called Nigeria come from the West and almost 30% from the North and you don't see these people beating their chests.

Your region is the only region in the whole country that is economically, socially and of course educationally Igbotic. Igbo region is the only region in Nigeria that hardly attract other Nigerians due to your tribalistic nature.

With all these your chest-beating achievements, other Nigerians hardly come to your region to establish businesses.

a fool like u will not hesitate to insult. wia did u get yo 55% data. a nonentity of yo caliber always raise eyebrows wen it comes to ethnicity or religious issues. but all diz haven't change yo poverty status. wy not change 4 sth dt will improve yo life? I'm a yorubaman to d core not like u dt is bent on fighting others in d name of ethnicity. u r a fool once again!

The fabric used to manufacture our products is sourced by our manufacturers from suppliers pre-approved by us. Substantially all of our products are manufactured by unaffiliated manufacturers. In 2006, our products were primarily manufactured in Asia, Central and South America and Mexico. All manufacturers are evaluated for quality systems, social compliance and financial strength by our quality assurance team prior to being selected on an ongoing basis. We strive to qualify multiple manufacturers where appropriate for particular product types and fabrications.

Oga there is a big difference between manufacture and assembly. Manufacture is immediately after invention which involves a lot of critical thinking. Assembly is simply putting the pieces of the finished product together. Dont fool yourself.

Don't lecture them again. They are not willing to learn. In fact they are untrainable Most of them are blockheads. I don't blame them. Afterall in Naija once you are rich and powerful, you can go to any school along with enough drummers and collect a certificate from the VC.

Proudly and smartly crafted in Nigeria by Nigerians, AfriOne serves Africa’s largest socioeconomic power player with integrity, while hosting cutting-edge technology, stylish design, affordable price points, and particularly, an inherent commitment to financial integration for all through automatically installed mobile banking and financial technology through the NowNow application.

'Proudly and smartly crafted in Nigeria' yet the key players in the company are Indians

These people are most likely just doing assembly and are playing the 'made in Nigeria' card to get lower taxes.

2. invent (evidence or a story).
3. To create goods from raw material, e.g. in a factory.



Assembly:

Stop feeding the public lies.

There's a world of difference between manufacturing and assembly.

Assembly plants are places of coupling of finished products from the manufacturing plants.

Eg Peugeot Nigeria.

Stop deceiving people.
