In overseas, cars are identified by their model and brand names, but it is quite a different case here in Nigeria.
In Nigeria, most cars are known by their localized name and very few identify these cars by their real brand and model name.
Honda Accord 1999 model : "Honda Baby Boy" - Maybe because it was used in 2001 Tyrese Gibson and Snoop Dogg's movie titled "Baby Boy"
