Ford Middle East has offered a free mustang to a Saudi woman who fought for women’s rights to drive in the kingdom.

Sahar Nassif, 63, was an outspoken critic of Saudi Arabia’s driving laws, before the ban on women drivers was lifted last week.

In October 2013, Nassif was arrested by Saudi police in Jeddah for posting a video on Youtube of herself buckling up and driving around the city.

Following the news of the royal decree issued by Saudi King Salman last week, Nassif told the BBC:

‘I’m really thrilled, everybody’s so thrilled – I’m so excited I don’t know what to do.  ‘I’m going to buy a Mustang!’

In a tweet to Nassif on Friday, Ford Middle East said:

"We'd like to give you your dream car," Ford Middle East tweeted to Nassif on Friday, followed hours later by "Your Mustang awaits" with the picture of a yellow car speeding through a tunnel and the hashtag #MustangSahar.

German car-maker Volkwagen in the Middle East joined the chorus of auto sellers applauding the Saudi driving decree, tweeting on Friday:

Car-makers have rushed in to target Saudi women after the decision is expected to boost regional car sales by 28 per cent in the first seven months of 2017,   analysts at UK business intelligence firm IHS Markit said.

Nissan were also made a bid on twitter to cash in on potential buyers from the wealthy Gulf state, posting their congratulations to Saudi women, along with luxury auto companies Cadillac and Chevrolet.

Sure? This is a good development and encouraging. Unlike brown envelope and toothless activist in Nigeria it is extremely risky to campaign against govt policy in Saudi. You practically put your life on the line or you may become limb less after visit to sharia court.

They are now in their era of change !

Nice gesture from Ford Company..




Lemme go and start my own protest too, that Firearms should be legalized in Nigeria for personal use, not just by Fulani herdesmen alone. Who knows what Kalashnikov company might give me

.

since they have lifted the ban on female drivers, the number of mediocre drivers in Saudi roads will drastically increase ...(na joke o).
anyways nice gesture from ford, twas a good business format.

Hmmm

Nawaooo

ISLAM

Nice one from Saudi Arabia...They just took a huge leap into the 80s..

Ok

Innoson should do the same. World has to know Nigeria is making cars too

See car manufacturers rushing to get a share of the market

For Naija, na our politicians dey go beg them make dem even show face

Nasty backward country for mullahs and their sex-obsessed ilk, who hide their own women in black gunny sacks, before flying off to London for a spot of bonking with the expensive hookers there.

What a great woman.

To think she was once jailed for driving

Sexist.

I need a Lawyer ASAP!

The company I am working for is OWING me my 3months salary!
_
And because I work from home they no longer respond to my messages.
_
And when they reply it is to say "Calm down,we're trying to confirm if you're really working" for the past 3months!
_
When it is glaring we're Working!
_
It seems the Company just hired us to use and dump us!
_
And this so called company have been hiring AMBASSADORS almost every week!
_
Why don't they wanna pay us? They probably think there is nothing we CAN do .. because we're just a surviving citizens with no VOICE!
_
I NEED LAWYER..and I have proofs

Tomorrow when they ask some people about gender equality they will say that they don't believe in gender equality because their husband is the head of the house.
