Only legends know what is called White horse.
Nothing special, in Nigeria it was just a silver plated black Raleigh, with louder Bell and brighter lights, used by deacons and elders for Sunday morning service and headmaster's.

You still on this... But Maybach is the finest level of benz and that your korean stuff can't be compared

Good thing I use lexus. E never get nickname
Lexus is the luxury edition of Camry. There can be no derisive nickname for cars made to perfection. Remember that it's Toyota company's best technicians that are moved to lexus division. Lexus is in a class of its own. In fact, looks like even car thieves respect lexus; they would rather go for distant cousins of lexus than mess with the oga himself- if you know, you know.

1. The Bulldog is the 4th generation Honda Prelude, not an Accord

2. Evil Spirit/Anaconda is the same generation, 2008-2012 or 8th generation.

3. There's no Accord generation spanning 2012-2017. The 9th gen runs from 2013 (2012 introduction, 2013 model year) to 2017, unless you count the introduction year instead of the model year. In any case it's the previous generation (9th gen) that's also called Anaconda, as stated above.

You ain’t right about their best technicians being moved to Lexus.Lexus is just the luxury department of Toyota,same way Acura is the luxury for honda and infinity is the luxury for Nissan

Suzuki mini bus every /hijet -korokpe, Toyota corolla -fashola model / okerejuwelo... Nigerians are a very funny and industrious people especially igbos and Hausas..though it's the Hausas that put Nigeria in this mess with thier greed n poor leadership skills but at least u can see some good northerners who trek for long distance doing all manner of businesses but that cannot be said about their Yoruba counterparts the few yorubas are too fond of civil service works I mean office work while a large percentage of them lazy around doing agbero work, selling marijuana and doing yahoo yahoo.. our south south brothers are the worst cos they are too lazy n dependent on crude oil that's y the Fulani government steal thier oil n feed them with crumbs.. the worse part is that they have been reduced to mere security guarding thier own oil for the nothern thieves

Not just Nigeria alone, the whole world.

Toyota has got the best selling cars... Rav4, Highlanders, corolla, Camry, hilux, tundras, Tacoma...smh list plenty.

They still own Lexus as a sub..and that one is selling like maad...With steady models coming out to entice Nigerians..

These guys are everywhere... Again they have affordable cars...with some having cool second hand value...

And I forgot, Toyota makes good engine with a nice fuel economy, A reason why it is a hot cake for snatchers, around riverine areas..they use the engine for boat construction...

No need to ask again

You are a true Toyota Enthusiast.

The Honda Accord 1997-2002 is called baby boy because of a 2001 movie it was used in.

As for the 2002-2006, Na Honda Nigeria cause am. They used the catch phrase on their billboards.

Then the 2006-2007 was also the catch phrase of their billboard.

As for the Ijapa/tortoise, It is possibly cos they really haven't seen a log of lady bugs

The V-boot is a V-boot. That one no need explanation jare

Beast was beast cos when it came out, that car was the biggest car in terms of internal space in Nigeria combined with a mad engine. It was a beast.
