it is on record that this car was sold to Ado Bayero the Emir of Kano
"Gulbenkian redeemed himself with his later commissions on the Wraith chassis, which were graceful yet still dramatic variations on Hooper's standard themes.
His next, built in 1952, was a four-door cabriolet that was also used by the Queen on a visit to Nigeria."

For instance, Sir Ojukwu’s personal driver at the height of his fame and fortune in Lagos was one Sunday, a Yoruba man. His appointed auditor for all his business interests till he died was Mr. Akintola Williams, the first Nigerian certified accountant who is also a Yoruba man. And when Sir Ojukwu became pioneer Chairman of the Nigerian National Shipping Lines in 1956, the first indigenous Managing Director he appointed was also a Yoruba man called Mr. Nathaniel Oyesiku. Further establishing Sir Ojukwu’s broad-mindedness, at the first visit of Queen Elizabeth to Nigeria in 1956, his Rolls Royce was the official car used to convey the British monarch

When Queen Elizabeth II visited Nigeria in 1952, the Nigerian government couldn’t afford a Rolls Royce, so they borrowed this Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith LWB from Sir Louis Ojukwu, father of President Odimegwu Ojukwu.

Shortly before Nigeria’s independence in 1960, Louis Odumegwu Ojukwu, reportedly Nigeria’s first black billionaire, and founding president of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. The royal honor came after he helped the British during World War II with his fleet of trucks. He was so wealthy that during the Queen’s visit in 1956, she was chauffeured around in his Rolls-Royce – apparently the only one in the country at the time – on the request of the colonial administration

I have no more to say to you. Ojukwu may have a rolls but it's not the one the queen rode in, if it is I would advise you to go and find it and restore it. Because Sanisi Lamido Sanusi understands the significance of the car he has and shipped the car back to England to be restored.
As for Forbes, sometimes you have to know when common sense takes over in the face of overwhelming evidence.
Like I said you can tell a falsehood over and over that it begins to be taken as fact.....it does not mean it is.
The car the queen rode in was owned by the late Emir of Kano, the car is curreltly owned by SLS.
Believe your myths, I have nothing more to say. If there is one thing I know about you people it is that you are not interested in facts.and you can go on and on being pedantic, insulting and evading the real evidence. All you have is biased hearsay. I have independent verified facts from different independent sources.

Your source is Nigerian newspapers, when did Nigerian journalists become a dependable source of history?Your source is Nigerian newspapers, when did Nigerian journalists become a dependable source of history? What sources did they site? did they give the chasis no or they day the car was built? Just a claim based on stories told in the east to people who never left the east.
foreign sites have traced the provenance of this vehicle to the Emir of Kano and you are there arguing....foooool Your brains cant comprehend that you have been lied to and your heroes are not what they sold you.

you are a slowpoke, I never said it was an official site. You can engage in a shouting and insult match or you can deal with the facts. The facts are there for those who are interested in facts. The car was so historically significant, SLS had it restored.

people who deal in facts say the car belongd to the late Enir of Kano, then I beleive them over a bunch of people whose history has always been based on an unexposed people sitting down by the fire in their remote village telling lies to their children. Ojukwu jnr for instance was a bastard child...it's there in the British intelligence files on Nigeriahttps://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/02/26/americas-secret-files-on-ojukwu-2/he (Ojukwu) suffers from Hitler-like megalomania”Akinjide explained to Strong that as a child, Ojukwu was rejected because his father strongly denied that he was solely responsible for the pregnancy that led to him, arguing that other mysterious force or forces may have been at work as well. His mother, claimed Akinjide, was a mistress his multimillionaire father, Sir Louis Ojukwu, acquired on one of his business trips to the North. Being a devout Catholic, Sir Louis refused to keep the boy in his house in Lagos, preferring to send him back to the North, where he was born and where his mother made a living as a trader. Ojukwu, like Nnamdi Azikiwe, was born in Zungeru, in the present day Niger State."
"As the boy grew up, friends of the business mogul prevailed on him to recognise him as a son. According to Akinjide, Sir Loius agreed to do so, but the boy became something of an embarrassment to him, the reason for which he sent him to school in England, where he made it into Oxford University."

For instance, Sir Ojukwu’s personal driver at the height of his fame and fortune in Lagos was one Sunday, a Yoruba man. His appointed auditor for all his business interests till he died was Mr. Akintola Williams, the first Nigerian certified accountant who is also a Yoruba man. And when Sir Ojukwu became pioneer Chairman of the Nigerian National Shipping Lines in 1956, the first indigenous Managing Director he appointed was also a Yoruba man called Mr. Nathaniel Oyesiku.

allrightsir:
you people are just a bunch of retards:
The only sites you have that claim it is Ojukwu's car are Nigerian sites with no picture written by Ibos where anyone can say what he wants
I have given you two Non-Nigerian sites specializing in classic cars that state the provenance of this car from the chassis no to the original owner to the registration no to pictures and you continue to argue
i have even shown you pictures of the car to prove this car still exists but no you continue to argue and hurl insults.
You people should realise that a lot of thing you hold dear as a tribe are actually myths!!

Odingo1:
Every Yoruba person is from Lagos,always claiming to be from lagos that was build by FG with Niger delta oil money,una no get shame,meanwhile Oba lagos said that lagos is not owned by yorubas but Binis.

it ties in with the link i gave earlier from a site that has no bias.


the pictures of the queen were in Kaduna...do the math will you ask Ojukwu from Lagos with no royal pedigree or Emir from Kano with royal lineage?

allrightsir:
you are referencing Nigerian sites as compared to a bentley registry? The site is telling you the chassis number of the car, the registration no and the person for whom the car was built in 1952.
On further research, I can say categorically, that car was not ojukwu's car. The car still exists today and it was indeed the car built for Nubar Gulbenkin sold to the then Emir of kano and used recently by SLS

allrightsir:
Sometimes legend travels farther than the truth. it would appear that the car did not belong to Ojukwu

Abagworo:
Nnewi is more of a semiurban sprawl than a full fledged city but the article focused more on people of Nnewi origin and not necessarily residents of Nnewi. It's unarguable that Nnewi as a town has more rich people than every single town in Nigeria.

XerXers:
my people?? do you know where i am from?? what happened to the previous boasting that Fulani can never step into igboland? confused clowns

XerXers:
what happened in 1967 and which state is this, and how does it relate to the "Europe" claim by Obiano

XerXers:
who are the wawa people and how did they betray you during the war? and why is the list of betrayers so long. I think you should blame yourself for your gullibility, just like you believe that Awka is now Europe

nonsobaba:
You mean the Wawa people fighting Obiano? May likely be the effects of fulani matchetes on their mgbeke skulls

MXrep:
I think everybody is fighting Obiano and his goons. Awka is now Europe, effect of Oshogbo weed

MXrep:
not at all, just hearing their name on the list of betrayers for the first time. Which kind shitty war was that, how can it have so much betrayers??

MXrep:
Wawa people betrayed you too? which kind shitty war where everybody betrayed. wtf??

XerXers:
I think APC may win, Anambra are tired of the deceptions, Tell APC to field a credible candidate, Obiano's failure put them in great advantage. The problem is that zoning does not favor Ngige who is the most credible at the moment

Schematics:
Xerxers aka Basilio, how many people shall be killed before your useless gov start doing something?

XerXers:
Stop building China roads, It is not Wawa people that told you to build fake roads, go to Wawa land and learn road construction

XerXers:
Anambra money is used in paying their Fulani masters after which the broke state will start littering everywhere with China roads
