Checkout This Photo Of A Maiduguri Taxi In 1939

 When you hear 'taxi', the first image that pops into your head is this, right?


 The colours may vary depending on which state you are in Nigeria, but they are generally the same in model and structure.

Now, what you may not know is that back in the 1930s, there were cabs, alright, but a completely different sort. The one you are about to see was the Maiduguri service (present day Borno state)

See the amazing taxi 'cab; after the cut.
