AutoReportNG Techwriter Depot phoenix90 1) Queen Elizabeth's Rolls Royce in Lagos. 2) Queen Elizabeth's Rolls Royce in Northern Nigeria (you can see that it's a different car). This is the Emir of Kano's Rolls Royce. 3) The Rolls Royce in the Emir of Kano's fleet (he has a lot). This Rolls Royce was taken to the UK for restoration by a famous Rolls Royce restorer in 2009. There are a lot of Rolls Royces in the Emir's palace, but this is their most precious possession because (1) There's only one of it in the world (it was designed by eccentric billionaire Nubar Gulbenkian). 2) It was one of the last things that Emir Abdullahi Bayero bought before he died (he died before he could use it). 3) It conveyed the Queen in 1956. 2 Likes 2 Shares

That car belongs to Sir Louis Ojukwu, it is still parked in his commercial building at Apapa. The sad news is that it rusting and decaying without care. Go see it for yourself at 1/3 creek road Apapa. Nnewi building |

Video. Queen Elizabeth arrives the Emir of Kano's palace in the Emir's Rolls Royce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ymKBWGREh0 Video. The Queen in Lagos. You can see that this is a different Rolls Royce (the Royal Rolls Royce). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pC_aKoUias A man who was a British colonial officer at the time, wrote in his memoirs that the car should have been driven by the Governor-General's driver, but, probably because of racism, they didn't allow him to drive the car (the Governor-General's driver was Nigerian). He also said that, probably because of the colonial officer's deep trust in "British engineering", they got the chief engineer of the colony to drive the car. He said that, in his opinion, the Queen probably would have been better able to fix the car than the chief engineer (the Queen trained as a mechanic during the Second World War). In any case, the car broke down (I can't remember if he said that it broke down in Warri or Port Harcourt). |

Ishilove: A crazy billionaire. His father made billions from the oil industry (Nuba also made his own money from the oil industry, apart from the money he inherited from his father). He worked in his father's company when he was younger and developed the habit of ordering expensive lunch and charging his father's company for it. His father found out and was angry and scolded/punished him for it. In reply he sued his father for $10 million. It cost both of them around $60,000 to pursue the case in court (his father eventually paid the costs). Nuba said that it was probably the most expensive chicken lunch in the world. He undertook spying missions for Britain during World War 2 (he did it because he was bored). He absolutely loved Rolls Royces and he designed several unusually shaped Rolls Royces that were built for him. The Rolls Royce company did not like a lot of his designs, but they couldn't do anything about it. Gulbenkian once said that one of the advantages of his cars is that they are so odd that people always remember them and they always stand out. So when he comes out of an event, people are already telling him where his car is and he doesn't have to look for it. He designed this car and sold it to the Emir of Kano shortly after it was delivered to him Below: Nubar Gulbenkian 5 Likes 4 Shares

Ishilove: I forgot to include one of the crazy things that he said. Look at the car in the 3rd picture above. It looks like an old coach, right? The passenger compartment is covered, while the driver's compartment is out in the open. Gulbenkian said that he designed it that way because he never knows if he is dry except when he is looking at somebody that is wet. (So he designed it that way so that the driver will be wet and then he'll know that he is dry). |
