Whenever Thegeneralqueen comments, it wreaks of poverty mixed with gold digging, insensitivity, stupidity and short sightedness.

Whoever the f**k you are and wherever you come from, one single sense you don't have. If I were you I'd hide my face in shame because you obviously have nothing to offer.

Despite its age, the 1952 Model Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith ‘ALW 11’ owned by the Kano Emirate is one of the most famous and most expensive to maintain Rolls-Royces in Nigeria – both recent and vintage.

This Rolls-Royce was originally owned by an Armenian-British millionaire Nubar Gulbenkian who had many custom made Rolls-Royces in his collection. This particular Rolls-Royce was specially designed for him in 1952.



Shortly afterwards, the then Emir of Kano, Abdullahi Bayero (Emir from 1926-1953) bought the car. When Bayero died, the car was handed down to his successor, Alhaji Mohammed Sanusi I ( the grand-father of the current Emir).

It is said that Alhaji Mohammed Sanusi I made the car available for use by Queen Elizabeth II when she toured Northern Nigeria (Kano, Jos, Kaduna, etc.) in 1956.

The late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, also later inherited the car and the current Emir, Muhammad Sanusi II, has now inherited it.



Over the years, this Rolls-Royce has undergone restoration and several very high cost maintenance work. Almost all the parts have been rebuilt and refitted on it.

For instance, a new ash frame for the alloy body was rebuilt. The Perspex covers for the unique front lights were recreated and replaced. A genuine Rolls-Royce badge bar was fitted on it to serve as a handrail for the Emir when he needed to stand and acknowledge his people; the speedometer was re-engineered, etc.

Of course, this sensitive piece of the Emirate’s automotive heritage is not what you would expect just any mechanic to handle.

The job of maintaining this Rolls-Royce was contracted to a long-standing British independent Rolls-Royce specialist, Chris Lee, of Beaconsfield, Bucks.



According to Chris Lee, when the Emirate contracted him for the maintenance of the Roll-Royce, he was instructed by the Emirate to do anything that was required, to keep it in proper working shape, irrespective of the cost.

Indeed, it requires a fortune to keep a 1952 automobile in top working condition.

This is really nice.

The average Nigerian won't understand.

This is worth a fortune if they ever want to auction it on reputable International auction platforms.

The only thing I am not happy with is why they painted it with the "green white green" colour. That set of colour looks ugly on everything it's painted on from government properties to shirts,etc.

[quote author=mema900 post=66452703]NIGERIAN YOUTH DECIDE, NYD (2019) MUST HEAR THIS

Buhari's child Zara Is paying over 12million naira as school fees developing her future and Career.

Jonathan's Children 've been moved to London for studies and residence while Developing their career and living In Affluence.....

Atiku Abubakar's Children are abroad schooling....
Tinubu's Children are abroad schooling and Living in Affluence.

They are all developing and investing in their children to Continue to rule Us after they are gone.....You are there as a Jobless graduate wearing APC and PDP Customized Vest and Polo, Chanting"Change" holding Brooms and Carrying Umbrellas chanting "Transformation"Killing yourself, fermenting trouble and Constituting nuisance to the Society because of Peanuts that can't make you a better person...... Stop being a disgrace to your Discipline, Stop Wearing APC Vest and Carrying PDP Umbrellas Because that is the Wish of Politicians for You...

They Know If you have a good Job, they Can't Use you as a thug / Propagandists .

If Buhari will Not bring all his ten Children to the street for Campaign and Jonathan will not bring his Children and Blood Brothers to the Street for Campaign,then you are a disgrace to your family If you don't Stop masquerading yourself as PDP and APC agents,

Because up till now, I have never seen Buhari 's Children and Jonathan's Children On the Street wearing APC Vest and holding Brooms, neither have I seen Jonathan's Children carrying the PDP Umbrella even On social media let alone on the Street.... *To whom brain is given, Sense is expected!
