reminds me so much of a vehicle that used to be on some of Guyana's roads https://landcruisingadventure.com/guyana-tapirs/

There are plenty of real Nigerian G-Wagons, but they are all in Cape Town lol
Snopro311@reddit
Well the real and fake G wagon are still ugly to me, this Nigerian one might outlive the Mercedes one though
OktayOe@reddit
It sounds almost exactly like my 125 KTM Duke lol
TheRabbitHole-512@reddit
What are people from Nigeria called ? It’s a genuine question cause of the N word
JCDU@reddit
Nigerian.
NippeliFaktaa@reddit
yes, i would infact want a ride in this.
Borderlinecuttlefish@reddit
I mean, it would be faster to walk but yeah, good job.
R04drunn3r79@reddit
The Fresh Prince of Nigeria has new wheels.
BinLehrer@reddit
Sad all the way around
umax66@reddit
Design wise it's actually not that bad and kinda cute, reminds me of a postal van.
I'd ditch those led strips though.

That thing is crawling with AIDS and Sickle Cell
OGCelaris@reddit
Given the hood lights I would say it's Kitts cousin Kart
omecca_creative@reddit
I would call it almost a K-wagon. But needs some Korean parts.
ledfrisby@reddit
It's more of a K-Land Rover TBH, but close enough.
GlockAF@reddit
Less of a G-Wagon, more of a ‘lill-g wagon”
Testsubject276@reddit
Clearly made with passion
sidnynasty@reddit
This is pretty fucking sick actually
jombrowski@reddit
If it looks like a G-class and works like a G-class then it is a G-class to me. Don't judge the guy only on that he couldn't afford to get a Mercedes-Benz boiler plate on his car. He deserves all the admiration for making that 1:1 copy of a G-class on his own.
Frankie_T9000@reddit
Probably more reliable too
VincentNacon@reddit
Looks like an heavily modified mail van.
Lurkario-@reddit
I mean. It’s nicer than my g wagon
therestruth@reddit
The door needs to slam harder.
blackbeansandrice@reddit
It’s like a NYC Canal Street version of a car. If you’ve ever been there you’ll know exactly what I mean. I love Canal Street. I had so many custom plexiglass, foam, and LED things made there. You could have anything made, buy a one dollar umbrella (three if it’s raining), and pick up a knock off Gucci handbag in an afternoon.

Wheelie Yellow vibes
HughJorgens@reddit
Tell me where the G-Wagon can go that this thing can't?
IRingTwyce@reddit
Anywhere with speeds above 20 mph.
HughJorgens@reddit
Heh, yeah, I also thought of an answer earlier, the Highway.
IRingTwyce@reddit
Lol. I was going to say highway too, but then I figured there weren't any highways where that guy lives.
MibixFox@reddit
This must be what their prince drives
iamNutteryBipples@reddit
It’s just a black painted Grumman LLV I think /s lmfao
TheManRoomGuy@reddit
Kudos. They have design & fabrication skills.
guisar@reddit
Now let’s see him go up a grade with passengers :)
nostradumbass7544678@reddit
I damn near died when he remote started it.
carrynarcan@reddit
At least rotate the spare tire cover so it's at 3 o'clock. That's just tacky.
Castle_Bravo_Test@reddit
I mean...I like it. Bro is motivated.
SjalabaisWoWS@reddit
I love how proud he is, righteously so.
harigejan@reddit
Are we sure it's not inspired by KITT?
LastMorningbye@reddit
N Wagon
kwikthroabomb@reddit
The US Postal Service if we gave them an actual budget instead of cutting funds every year.
BlackSwanMarmot@reddit
That little tuk tuk is fighting for its life under all that sheet metal.
CoffeeJedi@reddit
I think it's plywood actually.
Wowerful@reddit
Fat cat!
SpaceXmars@reddit
Temu pullin' thru
Realistic_Calendar42@reddit
It should say Brinks on the side
Imlife_havealemon@reddit
Glad I don’t live in Nigeria. There would be 0 chance at the ladies leaving near this guy!
number__ten@reddit
Looks like Geoff from top gear
the-johnnadina@reddit
After googling what an auto rickshaw is, this is a little impressive
Substantial_Luck_133@reddit
The craze for luxurious things reaches all the way to Africa, where they have to make their own copy based on the real thing. Capitalism can be a horrible thing. 😓
CrooshLife@reddit
Of course people want to live better with nicer things.. wtf is this take lmao
Luminox@reddit
looks like a Temu armored car/brinks truck
Djinn-Rummy@reddit
Dollar store Knightrider
BadSausageFactory@reddit
say what you want but uber considers that a premium ride now
