‘My Bratha’ : FG Warns Abuja-based Car Dealer Known For Mocking Civil Servants’ Inability To Afford Luxury Cars

Earlier in the week, the Federal Government, through the National Orientation Agency (NOA), warned Abuja-based car dealer, Aliyu Mohammed, to mind his choice of words when promoting his vehicles for sale so as not to hurt the “sensibilities of any segment of Nigerians.”

In several of his promotional videos posted on his social media handles “Sarkin Mota Autos”, Aliyu is known for mocking Nigerian civil servants for their inability to afford his luxury vehicles for Sale, which are mostly priced from N10 million.

In one of his videos promoting a 2023 Mercedes-Benz C300 with Artificial Intelligence functionalities, he asked the question : “Can civil servants afford you?” and the AI function responded to say “No! may be in 2062.”

“At a time when Nigerians are passing through so much social pressure and in an environment where get-rich-at-all-cost syndrome is pervasive and material things are being promoted over and above dignity of labour and decent values, it is wrong to be speaking in such condescending terms about Nigerian civil servants,” NOA said in a statement.
