Car was probably bought brand new in Nigeria, VIN checks are mostly for cars used in US, Canada and in some cases Europe

Well, what can I say! Car manufacturers have parts software from which you could get the factory information on a car using the VIN. You need to buy the software, though some dealer sites may have it online.

It's actually a parts catalogue. It's downloadable (in bits), but getting a free download might be difficult to find.
