As we all know, today, Oct. 15, 2014 is a horn-free day in Lagos state. Am currently at ojuelegba, 4.am and I keep hearing the blast of horns as usual.

What's the situation like at your place;

Can we truly do without blastin our horns in Lagos?

Is it possible? Is it even safe? Was there enough enlightenment? These are the questions rummaging through my mind.

The whole idea is an inane fantasy of bureaucrats who spend all day riding to work behind newspapers. Anyone who drives in Lagos will canvas for everything else but a horn-free day.

Obinoscopy:
Is it possible? Is it even safe? Was there enough enlightenment? These are the questions rummaging through my mind.

The answers to your first 2 questions are yes and yes. May seem unbelievable, but if you have ever lived for a period of time outside Nigeria, you will understand.
The enlightenment part is what I can't vouch for, but if LASG can keep this up, perhaps even dedicate one day in every month to observe a "no horn" day, the trend will gradually catch on, until it becomes a part of the driving culture here.

The key word is PATIENCE.
Many people tap the horn button for no good reasons: saying hello to a friend while driving by, trying to get the attention of roadside hawkers, letting the driver ahead of you know that he's too slow for your liking...the list is as endless as it is unnecessary. Almost everyone on Lagos roads go through moments of madness between the hours of 6am till 11am, then from 5pm till about 10pm. We are all in a hurry to get to work, and then get home afterwards. These irritating horn sounds peak within these periods and it can be very annoying.

Horn free kwa? For Lagos? It's like saying all commercial motorists should go on compulsory break. I hate the sound of thosevBRT buses when approaching their bus stops.

Its not only about noise pollution, its about trying to be sane in an insane society. Was tempted several times but resisted the need to use my horn on the way to the office. A rule in driving says we should anticipate the moves of other motorists.
