Cars are amazing technological feats that litter our roads round the world today. Every passing year witnesses the debut of a new model or some incredible modification on an existing model. But I’m not here to examine car models or talk about which is the newest innovation.
I’m here to talk about the funny names Nigerians give these cars!
It’s amazing how some cars that have become popular end up getting nicknames which are usually as a result of situations surrounding them or their looks.
I took some time to gather as much as I could on the famous car models that were notorious for one thing or the other way back then and presently today.

The Honda series are usually very notorious for getting names.

‘Pure Water’
Honda Accord 1986
This dude became the people’s favorite among regular sedans in Nigeria. Each time someone thought of buying a car, this Honda was not far off from the consideration list. It became so common that Nigerians nicknamed it ‘Pure Water’ because sachet water was the most accessible commodity anywhere

‘Alla’
Honda Accord 1990
This was another favorite that continued where the 86’ model had left off. It was a heavy amongst the Hausas of northern Nigeria who were obsessed with it. This is how it came to be nicknamed ‘Alla’ because its supposedly said that when a Hausa man boasted about his Honda, he would go; ‘Na my Honda, Allah!’

‘Bulldog’
Honda Accord 1995
This ride gained its nickname because of the way its back was shaped and the way it sat on the ground – like a bulldog.

‘Baby boy’
Honda Accord 1998
The circumstances surrounding this car’s nickname is quite funny. The car sort of became popular after it was spotted in John Singleton’s film titled ‘Baby boy’ which starred Tyrese Gibson in the lead role. Tyrese is seen cruising this Honda with cute alloys in many scenes in the movie.

‘End of Discussion’
Honda Accord 2003
It was the tagline of its Ad that made this car popular as well as its Iv-Tec engine. The Ad simply said – ‘The New Honda Accord. End of Discussion.’ People loved this ride and it caught on like wildfire. However, the nickname ‘Iv-Tech’ later took over the former.

'Anaconda/Evil Spirit'
Honda Accord 2009
When this Honda came out last year, people were alarmed because it had one heck of a scary look when you first came across it, and it was BIG compared to its past models. It got its nickname from the look of its healamps which look as menacing as the notorious Anaconda snake of the amazon jungle. The evil look of the headlamps also gained it a second nickname of ‘Evil Spirit’.

'Orobo'
Toyota Camry 1992
This Toyota Camry probably marked the beginning of the ‘fattening up’ of the Camry range. Its longness and rotundness earned it the nickname ‘Orobo’ which is a Yoruba/pidgin lingo for ‘
Fatso’.
'Millenium'
Toyota Camry 1998
Suddenly Toyota must have thought it was time to slim down and introduced a slimmer model that became popular in Nigeria till today. The problem is, it didn’t have any distinctive nickname. The only name I ever gathered it was called was ‘Millenium’ because it came out in the year 2000; when we entered the millennium.

'Big for nothing'
Toyota Camry 2004
The name probably came as a disdain registered by Nigerians at Toyota’s sudden decision to ‘fatten’ up the Camry again. This time it was so big and bogus that it was nobody seemed to see any use for its bigness.

'Muscle'
Toyota Camry 2007
This car turned out to be a correction over the ‘Big for nothing’ because now all the bigness was put to good use; the car had curves that accentuated its beauty and gave it a distinct look; curves people referred to as ‘muscles’. Nigerians couldn’t resist calling this beauty the ‘Toyota Muscle’.

'Beast'
Mercedes Benz 600 1995
This car was a huge monster that came out before most asian cars got into the bigness parade. It was never regarded as a regular car and was seen to eat up space. It was so massive and ugly it became rare and Nigerians just called it ‘the beast’.

'V Boot/ V Nyansh'
Mercedes Benz 300 1990
This ride caught Naija by storm. Nigerians fell head over heels in love with it. It was majestic and a beaut in its time. The design at that time was unique and its nickname, ‘V boot’, was derived from the unique shape of its boot which was later made sexy with the pidgin term ‘V Nyansh’.

COJA
BMW 325i 2001
Not all Beamers got nicknamed in their time, and not all their nicknames stayed as long as other cars. But for this model of BMW, the story is different. It was nicknamed ‘COJA’ after it was purchased for ministers and delegates at the COJA games in Abuja in 2003. The car was the official car of the event and became popular as a result back them. Today, the name has however faded.

What other names were given to cars you know?
Let the fun begin!

Unibenstudent: good morning

OlamiB: I Just dnt know why broke guys wants to have a girlfriend too, before you start complaning let me quickly tell you am actually dating one
Guys jump into conclusion that girls dnt want to date a broke guy simply because he has nothing to offer financially, but this is not true in all cases, a girl that loves you sees Ɣ☺u in her future like her husband. She wants the best for you cos she sees Ɣ☺u in her future, a girl can date a broke guy but no girl will intentionally marry a broke man.
I love my broke boyfriend because firstly am not dating him for financial reason and 2ndly because I see a bright future in him, but one thing remain, I cnt marry him if he continues being broke.
I have stopped condemning girls that doesn't settle for less, there are so many disadvantages of dating a broke somebody
*talk about a boring relationship; when your female frnds are going places with their rich bf, Ɣ☺u r just there lying on his bed staring at each other's faces in his heated room.
*your frnds will not respect him; by the time your female frnds get to know about his brokeness the respect will just not be there anymore, girls love each other and they want the best for each other.
*he will always disgrace you; yes! This is most annoying, a little amount of money will cause fight between you two, imagine asking your broke bf to at least present himself in a wealthy way to impress your female frnds by buy provision or something for them will make him tear Ɣ☺u apart.
*he commands too much respect; this is funny, even rich guys that can afford to
Buy expensive things for their woman doesn't command as much as him, I guess this is done so Ɣ☺u won't disregard him.
*he will naturally look stingy to you; imagine asking your broke bf to help Ɣ☺u with #500 when he himself already has a plan for the only #1000 left with him, this is ridiculous because by the time he decides to impress you with 2000# Ɣ☺u won't just be feeling him anymore.
This is just a few of what I cn remember now, guys should note that their being financially okay brings a kind of hapiness to their gf/fiancé not only because of what they will enjoy from you but because they see their dream being fufilled tru Ɣ☺u,Ɣ☺u live in the best house, drive the best car and all tell me if ur partner won't be proud to show Ɣ☺u off.
I love my baby very much but as little as 100# can cause a misunderstanding btw us. God knows the kind of joy that will fill my heart the day he will be financially ok.
'it takes a real woman to date a broke guy and help him fufil his dream'
All this is written from the sadness of my heart.

awww,his he a working class or a student?If he is a student things might get better when he graduates and start working,i.e if ur not taking his stinginess for brokeness.But if he is a working class and is still broke?abeg he needs prayer.

Lmao....abeg commot d church jare...

*confused*

whirlwind7: You first point makes a mockery of your opinion.

Reason: Fashion evolves, and is ever changing. All it takes for pleated pants to make a major come back into mainstream fashion is for A-list celebrities to rock it on several occassions, and voila! they gain universal acceptance once again. Pleated pants were the major thing in men's fashion throughout the late 80s and 90s. Before then, plain pants without pleats rocked the 60s and 70s.

Today's fashion taboo were yesterday's "in thing".

For what reason do you think that insurance companies do not cover fashion? Well, the answer is simple enough: Fashion is as fickle and unreliable as the weather. It is forever changing and based on the whims of the major designers and celebs in the entertainment industry.

Most of your fashion tips are valid, though. You may give tips on basic things that should be observed irrespective of the prevailing trend. But never concentrate on passing fashion fads. I mean, few years ago, no alpha male in his right mind would wear skinny pants that stops just above the ankles. Micheal Jackson made that a fashion statement in the early 80s. It died off, but has now made a comeback into mainstream fashion. Guys are even bold enough to rock them in outlandish, feminine colors such as yellow, shades of pink, orange and cream.

Never take any fashion seriously. Just be comfortable with what you choose to wear. Every sort of fashion statement is a passing fad.

Esheun.But the point is barack look fatter in that pleated trousers than looking trim.So what i am pointing out so,avoid what make u looker fatter.

Lmao,this has gone to the xtreme now

Women get to mix up their pants with skirts, dresses and the occasional skort (hey, we'll admit it). But for guys, it's almost all pants, all the time. So it would behoove men to get the details right, right?
Right. Unfortunately, many guys are making serious mistakes when it comes to wearing pants, from the cut at the top to the cuffs at the bottom. And don't even get us started on pleats. So we've rounded up the most basic things about pants all men should know -- because dudes, we women are watching. And judging.

1. Pants should never be pleated. Basically ever.Pleats are basically woman repellant, plus they make most men look bigger rather than slimmer. A flat-front pant (think most jeans and the suit pants worn on Esquire covers) will make trim guys look even trimmer, and help the average guy appear less schlumpy.

2. There is a fine line between slim-cut and skinny.Your pants shouldn't flare out, but you also shouldn't have any issue getting the bottom of the legs over your feet. If you do, they're probably too skinny at the ankles. Think straight from knee to ankle, with no billowing in the thigh.

3. Mid-rise is your friend -- don't go too low, and don't show your undies. As GQ's Glenn O'Brien once wrote, "Perhaps the Creator (or whoever plays him on television) put that navel there for a scientific reason, and that reason is as precise and ineffable as pi." Your waistband doesn't need to go all the way up to your belly button, but it probably shouldn't be seven inches below in. In fact, a higher-waisted pant can do wonders for short guys.

4. Avoid light-wash jeans.They scream "'90s boy band" -- or, alternatively, "I'm a dad and I dress like one." Just ask President Obama.

5. Your jeans should fit just as well as your dress pants.Are your slim-cut dress pants nicely tailored? Then there's no reason you should be wearing denim that's floppy and baggy, especially in the thigh area. Tighten it up.

6. Just because jeans are dark doesn't mean they are "fancy."Specifically, that doesn't mean you can wear them with shiny black dress shoes.

7. Distressed jeans are OK... if the distressing happened naturally.We're all for the broken-in look, but if your pants are worn out, it's probably time for a new pair. And if you buy them already destroyed, they're probably not going to last very long.

8. Cuffs on pants are acceptable, but not necessarily stylish.Cuffs are generally associated with pleated pants, hence the uncool factor. (See #1.) Shorter guys should always avoid cuffs, as they visually shorten the legs. Taller men can work a cuff, but it usually looks sleeker not to. Just peruse the pages of GQ and Esquire -- do you see any of those models with their suit pants cuffed?

9. If your pants are flapping around the ankle, they are too long.The key to pant length is the break, i.e. where your pants fall on your shoes and create a horizontal crease in the fabric. You want a small break so that pants skim the shoes, but not too long so the creased fabric flaps. Pooling around the ankle? Uncool.

BONUS TIP : Belts aren't always necessary, but naked belt loops look sad.Though belts are technically accessories, they're often your greatest ally. They keep your pants from falling down, after all. Just be sure to pick a color and style that complements your pants, and doesn't call attention away from them.
