It seems that many people on this thread are not aware that auto races have been staged in Nigeria since the 1950s. I'm going to post articles, videos and what I remember about auto races in Nigeria. The most famous auto race that has been staged in Nigeria is the Lagos-Sokoto Rally. People came from all over the world to take part in the rally. It is one of the four famous rallies that has been staged in Africa. The others are the Paris-Dakar Rally (which came after the Lagos-Sokoto Rally, but is no longer staged in Africa), the East Africa Safari Rally and that rally that is staged in Botswana and South Africa (I've forgotten its name). The Lagos-Sokoto Rally became less important in the 1980s, due to the economic crisis in Nigeria. It was shortened to become the Sokoto-Argungu Rally and it was held on the sidelines of the Argungu Fishing Festival. I watched a documentary about the rally in the early 1990s and I saw Sir Ahmadu Bello flag off the 1960 edition of the rally, which was held to mark Nigeria's independence. Meanwhile, a company called Hemenga Grand Prix set up a go-kart circuit at the car park of the cricket pitch at Tafawa Balewa Square in the late 1990s. They planned to build a full Formula 1 style circuit in the future, but that has not materialised. In 2010 Hemenga Grand Prix recreated the Lagos-Sokoto Rally to mark Nigeria's 50th anniversary. This is and article about the race.

Some people have created a rally cross style track near the Eleko Beach in Lagos and rally cross races have been staged there since 2014. Here are articles and videos of the races.

Note that all these races are organised by the private sector. It is customary in Nigeria for heads of international agencies to visit the president when they come to Nigeria, but that does not mean that the government is financing the events that made them come to Nigeria. 1 Like |

It's a rally in a forest in a Spanish speaking country. A dog wanders onto the dirt road. Suddenly and at almost the same time, a racecar comes round the bend at full speed. Will the car kill the dog?? ? Luckily the car hits a bump on the road and flies over the dog. The dog runs down the road in alarm while a soldier chases after it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei_ulqzA1zc |
