These are the 5 IT automobile Nigerian bloggers to follow ASAP

Nkem Owoh, the Nollywood star who became famous as Osuofia, once played the lead role in a movie too old to remember.

The storyline goes that his daughter was married to a wealthy man in the city. And he lived with his wife in the village. Then they came visiting and her husband drove a car that has a dual exhaust system. “Double silencer,” he screamed, dramatically, of course, pointing at the dual exhausts. “Double silencer.”

Years later “double silencer” has become a cultural movement, a status marker for the who is who. Flavour sang about it, there is an actual movie called Double Silencer, and a rapper goes by the name Double Silencer.

It is safe to say that he was indeed the first automobile influencer.

More so unlike Osuofia’s character in that classic flick, these influencers actually know the names and all the terminology of the automobile world.
