MOTORING NIGERIA IS LAUNCHED
Well
here it is, our first blog post. I find it appropriate to call it our
introductory blog post and I would start the introduction by introducing
myself. The name is Adejoro Anthony and
I would be the first content developer for this blog. Motoring Nigeria was
launched on the 24th of September 2014 amidst great fanfare, people who were
present at the launching event would attest it was a great event with loads of
supporters, five people to be precise,
namely Christopher, mankind, John, faful, and an online supporter Foluso, who
had completely no idea of what I was doing at that time but they just knew I
was up to something. This ultimately brings us to the important question, what
is Motoring Nigeria?
Motoring
Nigeria, well obviously as the name implies is a Nigerian brand whose aim,
simply put is to enhance and promote the
car culture of the Nigerian people. This has been deemed necessary in the face
of the automotive revolution along with its huge potentials which is about to bring down the rusted and
dilapidated gates of the underdeveloped Nigerian
automotive sector. We aim to develop various non-existent sub-sectors of our
automotive sector opening up new frontiers. We are not planning to take any
path cleared by anybody but rather create a path and leave a trail for others
to follow.
There
is a particular species of primates that would generate immediate interest upon
coming across Motoring Nigeria, this set of people are called Petrol Heads,
they are also referred to as car freaks, motoring enthusiasts and in other
climes, they are referred to as autophiles(please do not in any way attempt to
rhyme this word with "paedophiles"). And now that you have disobeyed
and done just what you were told not to do, I find it imperative to inform you
that autophiles do not in anyway do "it" with cars, thank you.
Although
we are going to generate lots of initial interest in the car community, our aim
is to generate huge interest in us by all Nigerians, from the primary 1 pupil
who stares at his father's foot whenever he is being driven to school,
wondering when he is going to learn how to drive to the 90 year old grandmother
who smiles whenever she remembers the good old days when she could drive. People
across all walks would of life know and love Motoring Nigeria. This we are
going to achieve through adequate content on our blog, various social media and
through a line up of various events planned out for you.
The
journey of a thousand miles starts with the crank of a V6 engine(no, a 4
cylinder would overheat on a journey that long), we have a long way to go, there are lots of
things to be done, lots of challenges to surmount, we have started the journey
and we know we will be a success because we have a plan, we have God behind us
and we have your support(at least, we would like to think we do) God bless our
friends and supporters, God bless Motoring Nigeria.
PS: If you have been
subconsciously wondering about the meaning or perhaps trying to define the word
"CarCulture" ,
well here it is, we will leave you to make
your inference after reading our subsequent posts on this blog,
and then you can come to a conclusion. Thank
you for reading up to this point, Bah-bye
