you forgot Coaster bus ooo

Nigerian Politicians are among those that use the best cars in the country. It’s no news Nigerian politicians are among the highest paid in the world. Other than that, the amount of public funds the bad eggs loot makes them extremely rich. They can easily splash them on cars without even noticing something went off their bank.

For instance, each member of the Nigerian Senate earns up to ₦162 million ($450,000) annually in allowances, and ₦9 million ($25,000) as basic salary. This will go a long way in getting them a very good everyday car of their choice.

You are about to see the various cars associated with our Nigerian politicians. This could be their official car or their personal regular car.

The top 7 cars used by Nigerian Politicians are:

1. Mercedes Benz S-Class:

This is the most loves Mercedes Benz class by our Politicians. The first citizen of Nigeria and Commander-in-Chief of Armed forces also has a Mercedes S-Class as his official car. Precisely a 2019 Armoured Mercedes Maybach S560. Other top politicians in Nigeria uses Mercedes S-Class as their official car.

The Mercedes-Maybach S 560 (& the S 650), the most popular sedan in the fleet of World leaders, is perhaps one of the most elegant way to be chauffeured around the Country .

This should tell you there is something special about the Mercedes S-Class.


2.Toyota Landcruiser Prado:

This is the bread and butter of most Nigerian politicians. There is a very high probability you’ll see this car in their fleet. It’s one of the most owned vehicle of most politicians.

This could be due to the reliability and ruggedness of the car. It basically can go anywhere especially the roads our government has failed to rehabilitate. The Toyota Landcruiser Prado has the space they need and it has served well all these years.


3. Lexus LX 570:

The Lexus LX570 is closely related to Toyota Landcruiser Prado; the both are under the Toyota umbrella. But when it come to luxury, the Lexus takes the crown. The Lexus LX 570 is an SUV which has always stood out amongst many. Aside politicians, Nigerian pastors, celebrities and high-profiled elites seem to have love for this SUV. Just like the cousin Landcruiser Prado, it is reliable and rugged enough to take you to any part of the country.

The Lexus LX 570 is the official car of some governors in Nigeria.


4. Range Rover:

The British Engineered brand made it to the list. The Land Rover Range Rover is the most common brand of the British origin used by our politicians, It is even the official vehicle of some state governors like Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos who uses a Range Rover Sentinel. Governor Ugwuanyi of Enugu State also uses a Range Rover Autobiograpghy. We are talking about reinforced Range Rovers and not the ordinary ones.

The Range Rover SUVs always stand out wherever they find themselves.


5. Toyota Hilux:

This list won’t be complete if we fail to mention the almighty Toyota Hilux. This car is on the good book of most politicians and hardly will you see a convoy without a Hilux.

The Toyota Hilux has been around the corner for many years now and it seem not to be going out any time soon. Nigerian politicians always use this car to transport their escorts whenever they are on road trips. It can be said to be the errand car of most politicians. They are used basically to run errands.


6. Lexus GX 460/470:

This car is another hot cake. This SUV can’t be looked for in cities like Lagos and Abuja; you’ll see many of them gracing the roads.


7. Mercedes Gwagon:

The boxy German machine can’t afford to be miss this list.

what of their wives and children

Nigeria has the highest paid well secured politicians governing the poorest Insecured and Vulnerable people of Nigeria...

semyman:
The Invictus Obi's saga is disheartening not because another Nigeria yet again has been busted for fraud, it's disheartening because the rippling effect will be enormous.
A lot of Nigerians are going to pay for yet another scandal by a single Nigerian.

Thing is Obinwanne was not just another average Nigerian, he had a CV and portfolio that was envied on even by the international community.

He was looked upon as one of the bright spots to come out of this dark hellish place called Nigeria.

Obinwanne Okeke (Invictus) was one of the supposed few answers to the damning question of can anything good come out of Nigeria?

Featured by Forbes as one of the Forbes 30 under 30.
He's been on BBC, given a Ted Talk, Spoke at London school of Economics Africa Summit.
Has a conglomerate spanning across many African countries dealing on oil, agriculture, infrastructure, solar energy etc.
Had a lot of International awards celebrating his achievements

With this sort of portfolio and at 32yrs, he was seen as this bright spark coming out from a country that has more trends for despicable things than amiable ones.

Only to find out that beneath all this facade was a fraudster. A serial one.

An international corporate yahoo boy with suits and a great CV to match.
Estimated to have stolen $20-$22million from US companies from 2011 till date.

There was always that gaping hole in his story about his start up capital that gave an itch of not adding up.
But then we gave benefit of the doubt as we usually do even to our own collective detriment in a bid not to come across as a hater.

He fooled a lot of people and that for a long time. Make no mistake about it, he's going to pay for his crimes. But he isn't my concern.

You can't help but feel for other innocent Nigerians that are going to pay for the crimes of Obinwanne too.

Obinwanne would be in his prison scrub for a long time serving his time.

While other Nigerian out there will be getting Visa denied even after meeting and surpassing all the requirements.

Other Nigerians would have to work twice as hard to earn a modicum of trust and respect within the international community.

International organizations are going to pull out of deals the moment they become aware a Nigerian is part of the deal.

International airports will be a lot more hostile than they already are the moment they see you with that almost worthless green passport.

More companies will start declining cards coming from this part of the world.

Nobody wins here, not you, not me.

Imagine one of the few people who had earned the trust and admiration of the international community being busted for fraud.
What is your fate being an average John Doe or Jane Doe?

While Obinwanne is going to pay for his crimes inside the walls of a correctional facility.

You are going to pay for his crimes in embassy halls, airports, business meetings, immigration offices etc.

It will be no fault of yours, you would probably have all the requirements but still would be treated as an infidel.

When one of your supposed brightest minds has been busted as a fraud.

What are your chances?

Nobody won here.

We all lost.
