The North Americans call it the trunk.

The British call it the boot.

In Indian English, it is referred to as dickie.

In South-East Asia, it is popularly referred to as the compartment.

These are all terms used to refer to the place at the back of a vehicle for putting luggage in.

In Nigeria, where the British English language is adopted, it is more commonly referred to as the boot.

Some vehicles are known to have their boots located at the front end of the vehicle. However, it has become a de facto standard to have the boots located at the rear end of vehicles.

Sometimes, it appears that the manufacturer’s design capacity becomes inadequate for some drivers of these cars.

This can be illustrated by the photos below.

When whites go hiking, there is a frame above the car with allows you to fasten things on top the car (I'm sure some people don't know that)
So its not a Nigerian thing, cause most of your pics came from naija

Cars with carriers are designed to carry loads on the body.

These are now regular sights in Nigeria.
How about the ones used to smuggle rice with the spare tire space used to carry extra payload? Its risky but man they say must wak

How's this news for Pete's sake?

Sorry.. but what's the importance of the thread. Autojosh I do like your topics but this one is just baseless and headless

Lol Benin city oh

The booth isn't adequate. It was rather loaded beyond its capacity. There's a world of difference.

Loll

CityNGR:

My sister this is a Nigerian thing. The whites would never arrange stuffs like this. More also, the whites prefers trucks and caravans and this gives them enough space for carrying loads.
