He shaded Africa, stating that people had to stay in queues at filling stations and even pay bribes just to get fuel.
In the short video he shared, a mobile filling station attendant is seen attending to a customer at night on a Dubai road.
The customer didn't have to leave his car as the mobile filling station attendant did all the work, just as is obtainable in the stationary ones in Africa.

Rolls Royce Phantom car worth millions being used as a taxi in Dubai
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported that a man had shared a video of a luxury car he saw being used for business in Dubai.
To his amazement, he saw a Rolls Royce Phantom car being used as a taxi on a Dubai road.
In the video he shared that was made public by Instablog9ja on Instagram, commuters seemed not to be freaked out by the expensive whip that passed them as they all went about their businesses.
The man who shared the video shaded 'big boys and girls' who make noise after acquiring the whip, stating that in Dubai, it is not a big deal. Carbuzz has it that the Rolls Royce Phantom is a very expensive whip and its price starts from N186 million.
