Its Time To Correct This Misconception,all cars are assembled after all.

...After the Made/assembled in Nigeria Cars, unveiled by the Stallion group with the President in attendance, i have been dismayed with the brash and uninformed comments all over social media by some of us in identifying and trying to distinguish that those vehicles are assembled in Nigeria and not made in Nigeria, Actually there is little or no difference in both analogies...All Cars are made and assembled ...#GBAM...let me explain...No single Manufacturer in the World makes a whole automobile in a single country, the most is that probably 90 % of the vehicle can be sourced in a country and very few manufacturers even get to that percentage, quick example...A Rolls Royce that is famed for hand-building their vehicles also at their factory in England actually source for the aluminium panel from Germany (think BMW) and a lot of their electronics are shared with their BMW parent company, KIA/Hyundai have factories in the USA now...but a lot of the parts used in making this vehicles in the USA still come from their native Korea...Toyota builds all their Lexus models in Japan but have to get some parts like engine block, etc from mainland Europe and America.....The Point i am making here is that cars get their parts and constituents from different countries, In Fact most of the Largest factories of Automobile manufacturing just have Engine building departments,Body Place ( which would include welding, paneling and Painting), Upholstery, and Chassis marrying under one roof but you would agree with me that at this point the "car" is still just a piece of metal, every other part to make the car complete probably came from outside the state, country or continent....Admittedly though, i doubt the Nissan cars had up to 5 % of its make up sourced in Nigeria because we do not have the supporting industries in Place...Finally,in modern automobile practice,there is little or no difference between Made or Assembled...they are all assembled after all.
