Question Nigerian number plates....A reflection

Check this article out.

ABUJA (Reuters) - The Nigerian state of Bayelsa proclaims to the world on car number plates that it is "The Pride of the Nation" or, on some models, "The Glory of All Lands".

But the exploits of its governor, who was arrested in Britain............

I've always wondered about the absurdity of these claims on our number plates.As much as we would like to be proud of Nigeria and project it in its best light, we should keep it real.How can Lagos be described as a "Centre of excellence"...Been home lately?

Hahaha, please Kikis, leave us alone to be in our fantasy world. All those license plate messages are so silly, it begs that the people who came up with the messages be shot!
