Got this and thought it might help someone…

“Please, be careful to give any Policeman a lift when traveling. My friend gave one a lift on his way to Ibadan recently. The officer sat in front of the car and was also going to Ibadan.

All of a sudden, he changed his mind and came down at Shagamu junction. My friend suspecting something was wrong drove down a bit and decided to check the seat where the officer sat. Lo and behold, he saw 4 bullets carefully tucked under the seat the Policeman sat.

He picked them and threw them into the bush. Few kilometres after, he was stopped at a check point and was asked to come down for stop and search.

They searched for more than 30mins. Puzzled, he asked what the matter was? No answer. He noticed one of them was on phone all the while and he kept quoting his plate number on the phone.

After 1hr of search, nothing was found then he was asked to go.

Obviously the officer he gave a lift wanted to implicate him which failed.

Stay vigilant & prayerful!”

Kindly share with your loved ones.

Do you really trust an average Nigeria Policeman?

Brunei is a small country in Southeast Asia, bordering Malaysia. Income from oil, combined with a small population and tight immigration laws allows Brunei’s people to live quite comfortably ($60k GDP per capita) and its Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah to be the biggest car collector in the world, with over 5,000 vehicles worth a combined total of $5 billion (N2.3 trillion)

Limo:
First things first, every head of state, especially a monarch, needs a limo. The Sultan’s customized Rolls Royce Silver Spur does a great job of reflecting his excessively luxurious lifestyle. The vehicle was custom-made for his wedding day and covered in 24k gold. The limo is valued at roughly $14 million. To put this into perspective, the current POTUS limo with all its high-tech safety equipment is worth roughly $3 million.

Sport and Luxury cars:
The exact composition of this huge collection is unknown, but there are reportedly over 300 Ferraris, 20 Koenigeggs, 6 Daver Porsche 962 LM’s, 11 McLaren F1’s, and 600 Rolls Royces. That’s only 937 of the 5000.

Vintage cars:
Sleek European luxury cars may be the first thing you associate with being the richest royal in the world, but good old American classics occupy quite a decent portion of his garage as well.

Formula 1:
One thing that plays a big part in the size of the collection is the fact that His Majesty is a huge racing enthusiast, which is why he owns several championship-winning Formula 1 racers bought directly from the teams.

LRU to the rescue of a Dangote truck on Agege Motor Road, by challenge bus stop opposite Mobil filling station, Mushin.

Chevrolet Camaro:

Spotted in Victoria Garden City, Lagos. So I waited for some minutes for this bumblebee to transform but OYO was my case. I just took pictures of the N8million Camaro and went my way jare.

2016 Lexus RX 350:

We don't need a soothsayer to tell us that this car will be a hot cake in Nigeria. The way Nigerian love the Lexus RX is inexplicable. This is one of the first few that came into the country at about N17million. However, note that today's price will be higher due to increased exchange rate.

Audi R8:

This car is a masterpiece. The R8 was first spotted as a concept car in Will Smith's I, Robot movie in 2004. And it still looks like a concept car despite being in the market for about 10 years. You can buy one for N35 million today.

Bentley Mulsanne:

With 505-hp, 6.8-liter V-8 engine, you'll get 11mpg in the city and 18mpg on the highway. Hmmm! that's thirsty. Voice activated air conditioning, memory seat belt and media storage are some of the unique features you will get in this N95million car.

Mercedes Benz G55 AMG Limousine:

This is amazing! This is the G of all Gs! It's also bullet proof. Price was N120million but now N300million with inflation.

https://autojosh.com/nigeria-for-car-lovers/

Some Nigerian drivers sha! Would you punish or forgive this driver if you were the Road Safety Officer?

https://autojosh.com/road-safety-officer/

So sad. See photos of the woman under the killer truck...

May her soul rest in peace.

Are you one of those that complained about the design cues of the current CRV? Hopefully, the all new 2017 Honda CRV has come to its rescue.

This fifth generation CRV is based on a completely new platform, just like the new Civic. It has sharper edges and a bolder look. It is also longer, wider and taller than generation four.

The key selling points of this new 2017 Honda CRV are slightly larger trunk, better performance, improved fuel economy and great changes in the interior.

The base CRV LX is fitted with a 184-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder which was carried over from the 2016 model. But the EX, EX-L, and Touring trims will be powered by a 1.5-liter turbo engine with 190 hp.

With an interior that has gone upscale, it now comes with a simple physical volume knob as well as a 7-inch touch-screen.

The 2017 Honda CR-V comes with a rear view camera and advanced safety gears such as: forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking and blind-spot warning. In addition, the EX, EX-L, and Touring will include adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, and lane-keep assist.

As said earlier, this is a good improvement from the outgoing model.

Tell us your opinion.

Mercedes Benz SLR:

When it was released in 2003, the SLR represented Mercedes’s return to the supercar market since the iconic 300SL of the ’50s. With its outrageous aerodynamic design, and 5.4 liter supercharged V8 putting out over 600 horsepower. This car was for the billionaire elite only priced at $455,000. He took deliver of it in front of Trump Tower in New York.

Rolls Royce Silver Cloud:

Trump loves opulence, and no car is more opulent than a Rolls-Royce. Unsurprisingly, he’s a huge fan of the luxury vehicles , with a 1950s-era model like this ’56 Silver Cloud which was reported one of his first cars.

Rolls Royce Phantom:

The largest Rolls Royce Phantom starts at around $500,000, but nearly everything can be built and designed to the owner’s specifications as bespoke. Knowing Trump’s love for gold, it’s a safe bet that his cars cost twice as much to make them match his jet.

Lamborghini Diablo:

One of Trump’s favorite and prized possessions of the past is his 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT. Introduced in 1990, the Diablo picked up where the insane ’74-’90 Countach left off. With a 6.0 liter V12, the Lambo had a top speed of over 200 miles per hour. Trump even put his own personal seal on it. When he sold it in September 2015, the car soon re-appeared on the market for $299 000. An identical Diablo was sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction the prior year for $148,500, so being owned by The Donald drove the resale value up quite a bit.

The I-Pace concept is powered by a 90kWh lithium-ion battery pack, mounted in the floor of the vehicle. It sends power to two electric motors. The batteries can take you as far as 220 mile range.

It also produces almost 400 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. A zero to 60 mph time is around 4 seconds.

According to the initials of the 2017 Toyota C-HR, it's a Coupe High Rider. And it looks extreme for a production Toyota. However, I think Nigerians will definitely love the new design.

It is intended to appeal to a young and fashionable audience who want their cars to make a statement. So the C-HR is designed to look like a three-door Coupe's big bro.

In this car, you'll get autonomous braking, radar cruise, lane-keeping, blind-spot warning, display screen, JBL stereo etc.

It also comes with 1.2 petrol turbo (115 HP) or 1.8 petrol hybrid (122 HP) powered by front wheels with the option of 4-wheel drive. It will be excellent on gas. However, a faster version would be good and adults riding in the back won't like it.

Even if it's 18 out of the 20.

Ese Osagie has cried out on Twitter that everyone should be careful when riding Uber at night. As she was almost robbed by an Uber driver last night. She said "I boarded the cab from Isaac John in Ikeja to Ikoyi, but the driver started to act funny and aggressive immediately I stepped in. I had to open the door on motion and jumped off immediately the car stopped."

She said the driver even chased her with his car after she made her way out of the car.

At the end of it all, she was charged by Uber after the driver left her in the middle of the highway in Ikeja. Uber has said the driver who is identified as Razaq Kutere-Aga will definitely be dismissed.

Since the first Corolla went on sale in November 1966, over 44 million Corollas have been sold worldwide.

From inception, the mission behind the Toyota Corolla project was to create a car for everyone on earth. And the result of this dream has reflected in its sales figure.

This is not just the world best selling car, it is also the most popular car in Nigeria.

Happy Anniversary!
