There is no available record of the nationality of the first person to drive a car in Nigeria.

However, some sources offer an idea of who the first Nigerian to drive a car was.

According to some records, the first Nigerian to drive a car was a certain philanthropist known as Thomas Jones.

Thomas Jones – known famously as Tom Jones - was a wealthy Lagosian.

He is best known for donating the first public library to the government of Lagos, which was at the time known as the Lagos Colony.

The library opened in 1931, almost 20 years after Jones died.

The exact date that Tom Jones first drove the car is not recorded, though, it was believed to have occurred before 1913.

A popular street on Lagos Island, Lagos, was named after Tom Jones.

I HONESTLY THINK THE RIGHT QUESTION SHOULD BE WHO IS THE FIRST NIGERIA TO INVENT OR PRODUCE (CARS, TELEPORTER, SPEED OF LIGHT TRAINS ETC) AND NOT DRIVE!.
IN AFRICA WE ARE GLORIFY OURSELVES WITH WESTHERN INVENTIONS AND STEALING TAX PAYERS MONEY TO BUY THEM.

I AM YET TO SEE ONE SINGLE INVENTION THAT AFRICA HAS GIVEN TO THE WORLD........PARASITIC COUNTINENT

not region.
The real ownerd of lagos are ijaws and benin people.
And the afonjas will fight then to take lagos incase of break up.
The afonjas were settled with our land after series of betrayals of the entire south.
Mind you ijaws also own lands in ondo,edo and even now we have realised that we also have ijaws in abia state.
The ndoki people.tonyebarcanista once even talked about it here,but as a respect to the igbos we have refused to not talk more about it since we are brothers.
But afonjas wont take lagos and ondo state without a fight and resistance.
