Former singer and comedian, Tunde Ednut has come under fire after making mockery of the Innoson car presented to the winner of the BBNaija 2019 season, Mercy Eke.
KanyiDaily had reported that Mercy was presented her brand new N25 million Innoson SUV, which was part of the prize she earned for emerging the winner of this year’s BBNaija show.
While many people showed appreciation to the company for keeping their promise and for putting Nigeria on the automobile map, Tunde hopped on his Instagram to say nasty things about the company, alleging that the car is too poor compared to the amount of money realised from the show. He said:
“See the car they are giving to Lambo after all the money they made. Not even GWagon or Range. BBN Don buy NEPA motor for our Lambo. Dis one na made in 51 Iweka road onitsha”.
Many Nigerians are now bashing him for rubbishing Nigeria’s brand, Innoson.

Tunde Ednut is one of the reasons Nigeria is not good today. I thought with the limelight he will be able to contribute positively to Nigeria but it is obvious he is only a consumer with a leaking mouth.
So Innoson Motor given to Mercy is not classy or quality enough because…?

Tunde Ednut bashed Innoson saying the car is ugly, yes I agree Tunde Ednut is very wrong but please stop talking rubbish, I saw one person saying “ Innoson is better than Benz “ Guy calm down let’s not deviate.

Nigerian senators rejected Innoson motors as their official car now Tunde Ednut is throwing dead jabs at the Innoson car given to Mercy
All these dead jokes just because it's made in Nigeria by an Igbo man unlike other SUVs.
May God save us from all these slave mentality.

Tunde Ednut that has most probably never touched or seen an innoson vehicle with his naked eyes, threw shades at innoson.
Then fiam! Yorubas are the one in trouble. How? Koyemi nau!

Tunde Ednut mocking Innoson motors has no wisdom in it. There are far uglier cars made by whites that we rate and appreciate. The car isn’t even so bad after all. I think when we start supporting our own things will get better for us.

Meanwhile, Members of the Anambra State House of Assembly have rejected Toyota Prado SUVs from the state government as their official vehicles, preferring instead, the locally manufactured Innoson Jeep so as to save cost.
The lawmakers were said to have argued that it is an unnecessary waste of funds to purchase the Toyota Prado Jeeps for 30 members of the house, which will cost the state almost N1billion, when a similar vehicle produced by Innoson Motors Limited, Nnewi, would cost much less.
