REVEALED: The Funny Nicknames Nigerians Give Cars by informa: 10:11am On Sep 27, 2013
Nigerians are unique in their ways of life judging from way a lot of gadgets e.g. Blackberry models have been renamed. Cars are no an exception as they nickname their vehicles with funny names to suit them. At least if you cant invent something, 're-invent' the name for the producers

The following are some of the names you will find common with cars:

Cadillac Escalade is called Chairman.

Honda Accord 2011-2012 models, Evil Spirit.

Toyota Camry 2003-2005 models, Big for Nothing or Big Daddy.

Toyota Camry 1995 model, Orobo.

Toyota Camry 1999 model, Tiny/Pencil Light.

Honda Accord 1996 model, Bulldog.

Honda Accord 1995 model named Bullet.

Toyota Tundra 2010 model, The Bully.

Honda Accord 1999-2002 models, Baby Boy.

Honda Accord 2011-2012 models, Evil Spirit.

Honda Accord 2003-2005, End of Discussion. (i wonder when discussion started)

Honda Accord 2006-2010 models, Discussion Continues.

Honda Accord ex 1994 model nicknamed Honda Hala.


For more funny car names after the cut


Mack trucks addressed as Kill and Go.

Peugeot 407 called Jet.

FJ Cruiser known as Hummer Jnr.

Toyota Highlander is known Carton Wagon.

Volkswagen Jetta is named Big Packet.

Volkswagen Golf is Packet.

Volvo GL750 funnily bears Coffin.

Toyota Camry 2001 model, Drop Light.

Nissan Xterra, Lego Jeep.

A motorist who drives a Honda Accord 2000 model, said he didnt know the name that was given to his car before he purchased it saying he kept on repeating the name of the brand and the car dealer told him to identify the name as baby boy.

Nigerians give vehicles nicknames for identification purposes because it would be easy for people to know the brands that way.

Another motorist who drives a Toyota Camry V6 2002 model, said his car is nicknamed Envelope, because its reverse light is envelope-shaped.
