Here in my area we have a lot of Yoruba folks driving cabs and they like putting a lot of fancies on their car and make use of the horn frequently in fact if their horn is faulty they consider it as a major fault. One interesting thing about them is that they choose a particular brand of car they use for transportation like when i was small i do see them with datsun, from that they shifted over to Mazda and now they are gradually migrating over to this Toyota privia. Why do dey act that way?

Its not a tribal thing. It would be nice if you could rephrase your observations. I also notice a lot of peeps (cuts across all tribes-you see them in Enugu, Kano, Lagos etc) who have the same habit of carrying an artificial gardens (plastic flowers) on the dashboard, lots of fancy chrome fittings, fake antennas, mirrors and truck grade piercing horns... even sirens sometimes

Definitely not a tribal thing. Cuts across Nigeria. I guess it's because you live in the West. Try visiting any major city in the North or South and you'll believe it's not peculiar to the Yorubas.

Bro, I totally agree with you on the Yoruba thing and Fanciful items on their cars. I thought i was the only one that noticed it and Ikenna, Its not a tribal issue, if i can notice and another can too, then he openly talks about it on here, i don't see anything wrong with it since there are no reprehensive remarks on anybody or any tribe. I just find it amusing because the way they do it, its so obvious, i am thinking maybe they are conspicuous or they see it as a fashion trend amongst themselves.
