When Niggers are hungry in the North and South, he rides a useless car like this.

Swedish politicians cycle to work. UK politicians take public transport. Naija politicians take customised rolls-royce and plane (yet those they steal from celebrate them - economic Stockholm syndrome).

Nubar Gulbenkian's Rolls Royce Silver Wraith (It was used by the Queen when she visited Nigeria in 1956).

Nubar Gulbenkian was an eccentric Armenian-British millionaire who was crazy about Rolls Royces. He had many custom made Rolls Royces (the Rolls Royce company was not always happy with the designs that he chose for his cars). This particular car was designed by Gulbenkian in 1952. It's a Rolls Royce Silver Wraith, but its lights are different from any other Silver Wraith.

The Emir of Kano, Abdullahi Bayero (Emir from 1926-1953) bought the car shortly afterwards. Bayero died and the car was inherited by his successor, Alhaji Mohammed Sanusi I. The car was used to convey Queen Elizabeth II when she toured Northern Nigeria in 1956 (Kano, Jos, Kaduna, etc).

The car was also inherited by the late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero and it has now been inherited by the current Emir, Muhammad Sanusi II.

Picture - Queen Elizabeth in the car in 1956.





F**k! This should be one of the oldest car in Africa that is still working.

looks like one of those cars in a James bond movie.

Funny you should say that. The guy who originally owned the car was like a real life James Bond.
