iSlayer:



I don’t get. Why don't they stop you?

Because you will always be mistaken for a security personnel. Even me, whenever I sight one with the windows tinted and wound up, the first thing that comes to mind is "that must be a security personnel"

Facelesscabal:
Omo nah that land cruiser be the koko.. i remember early this week a traffic controller was attending to traffic and mistakenly stopped a land cruiser. The next thing the man in the passenger sit wind down and ask the police guy why he stopped traffic when his car got to the front.the police guy was now telling the man he was only doing his job.. the next thing the man just talk something for the guy ear naso oga police just waka commot for road go sitdon ���.. nah naija u dey

Lol. Told him something unpleasant, ruined the day for him. For just doing his job, the oppression is too much in Naija. That's why the youth would do anything, anything for money.

Franklyspeakin:
Peugeot 406 dey stop nonsense too. Esp the blue or green one. As long as its clean. If it is tinted mata don't finish.. It was shared to top soldiers and govt officials back then and still carries some respect

Exactly my point.

406 with Abuja number plate. Security personnel go just de look u with one eye ready to run like say u come monitor them. Road safety go do like say them no see you

lwmkd...this thread funny gan

Nice one.. Money must be made

11. IVM Ikenga

Do you know that the Police or other Military officers “looks face” before they stop and/or search any vehicle at check points in Nigeria?

If you drive Toyota Corollas or Volkswagen Golf and other ubiquitous car nameplates and models, chances are that you can be stopped by the Police, SARS, Soldiers, VIO and others to check your particulars, harrass you or just ask “anything for us?”

However, there are some vehicles that you drive that either confuses the military men as to who is driving or driven in such vehicles, hence they are cautious or do not stop you at all. This is because those vehicles are used by top Government officials, wealthy and powerful people, or security personnels.

Even if you are driving yourself, you may not be stopped, let alone when you tint the windows and/or cover the number plate.

Here are some of those vehicles:

1. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado: It is no news that Toyota vehicles is loved by Nigerians. The Toyota Landcruiser Prado is an executive SUV. This is used by the President (convoy), Senators, Politicians, top civil servants, the rich and their escorts. Almost all politicians has a Toyota Land cruiser Prado, at least as an official vehicle.

2. Lexus LX570: Step into a more luxurious SUV, comes the Lexus LX570. This SUV is worth about N100 million. The armoured version is the State car of Governor like Yahya Bello of Kogi State, Senators, and the rich.

3. Rolls Royce Phantom : Any Rolls Royce vehicle is sure not for the poor. Be driven in a 300 million Naira Rolls Royce Phantom and no Police or military officer would stop you. They sure know that you must be a wealthy person and just a phone call to their superior can cost them their jobs. But if you are in this and the police stops you, check, it may be criminals – like thieves or kidnappers! Femi Otedola, DJ Cuppy, Emoney, Esama of Benin, The Igbinedions, Arthur Eze and others own this masterpiece.

4. BMW 760Li : This V12 powered luxurious car is sure not for boys. The armoured version was the official car of former Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode and the current Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, rich individuals and top government functionaries.

5. Mercedes Benz S560 : Drive this and you are sure to confuse military personnel’s on checkpoints. This 61million Naira car is the official car of the president of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari. He unveiled it during his Swearing-in ceremony for second term in office on March 29th this year.

Drive in this and on approaching a checkpoint, a policeman may exclaim, “see Benz!” in admiration of the German masterpiece.

6. Bentley Mulsanne: This car is a billionaire status symbol and an alternative to Rolls Royce Phantom. From Linda Ikeji, who even bought one too for his son Jayce to Don Jazzy and other billionaires in Nigeria, only those who can drop about a 100 million Naira without sweat can get this.

7. Mercedes Benz G Wagon: Any recent model of G Wagon you drive signals anyone that you are rich. It is owned by politicians, the rich, and fraudsters alike. This is sure to confuse military personnels at check point because they wouldn’t know who is behind the wheel or driven in it, especially if the windows is tinted.
Any youngster you see drive this may be a politician’s child or that of the rich and the police do not want them to say, “do you know who my dad is?” For that alone can lead to trouble for them.

8. Range Rover: Range Rover is a luxury vehicle and the Range Rover Sentinel owned Cameroonian President is currently the most luxurious State car in Africa. Here in Nigeria, the armoured Vogue is the State car of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, Former Lagos State Governor, Ambode had one in his convoy, E-money, and so on.

9. Innoson IVM G80: From afar, it may be confused for a Mercedes G Wagon but it is actually a 2.4L, 4×4 made in Nigeria luxury SUV. The IVM G80 is currently one of the official vehicles of most top Military Officers, few rich Nigerians and top government functionaries.

10. Toyota Hilux: Well, this makes this list because it is widely used by security personnels in Nigeria, companies and private individuals. If you want to keep the security agents guessing, just tint your windows, get a Police “SPY” number plate or cover the number plate.

You are there but it doesn’t guarantee total immunity from security operatives it Depends on the squad, the security prevalence at that moment if its red alert, time of the day also the boldness of the officer and which of the security operatives, police is actually the highest force on the road and are at will to stop even a military personnel your best bet is you move with a convoy or you have a special protection police in front with your driver

Thanks for the interesting post. I also want to advise you to visit https://nydistillers.org/. There you can always read the latest and current news of the past week.

I never knew how sweet road immunity really is until I started using government plates... Even without tinted glasses police n road safety have never stopped me once.

why will government officials stop a government car

dapsin999:
Op na only Peugeot and Hilux suppose make that list. I have been driving Peugeot 307 from 2009 to date, nobody go stop you to ask for papers, instead na greet them go just greet you.

Now I don upgrade to 508, bros na smooth ride now o, I dey enter anywhere with salute and better compliments sef. Mind you this experience is nationwide o. I stil drive both cars in Lagos and Abuja.

Talking about Hilux, that one is perfect for travelling, no waiting at any checkpoint, luckily if u see a convoy just follow Bumper to Bumper.

why is it like that with the Peugeots

They don’t stop this
