6 Types Of Nigerian Drivers by valmunich(m): 10:07am On Jan 10, 2015 |
6 Types of Nigerian drivers Please note that this discourse is not a generalization. In other words, it doesn’t necessarily mean that these are the exact type of people you’ll meet using the Nigerian road daily, we might have different opinions about this and hence, you’re free to add yours. Here are the types of people you’re probably going to meet while using a Nigerian road from my experience. 1. The learners The first category is the learners. These set of people are usually slow and always stay at a particular side of a lane so as to make space for other oncoming drivers that will be overtaking them because of ‘speedophobia’ They barely know a thing about using the road. They usually don’t seem to understand or use most important road signals. Some in this category instead of using the learner sign, they’ll choose not to because they feel it’s degrading. 2. The meticulous drivers This category comprises mostly of old men and few women. They strive towards perfection while using the road. They barely overtake any vehicle and when they do, it’s probably all these slow trailers and tankers. They always strive to maintain an average speed and wouldn’t mind if they are overtaken by lots of vehicles. Almost every dad and old people falls in this category. 3. The rough riders/speeders This category consists mainly of young boys, usually drunks with their flashy cars who think they’re in the fast and furious movie or they’re a driver in the need for speed game. They drive to overtake every other road user like it’s a car racing with loud music emanating from their vehicle. This category runs into the risk of road accidents mostly. 4. The road greeters An annoying category of road users that will stop their vehicles on the lane just to start exchanging greetings or passing information instead of parking by the side of the road hence, blocking other oncoming vehicles and the more annoying part is that people will be complaining and shouting at the duo, they still will act deaf and continue conversing. 5. The unnecessarily slow pokes This is the most annoying category of all. This category just slows their vehicles in an expressway just for nothing sake making every other vehicle following them to maintain the same speed with their vehicle till you find a space to overtake them. I once had an experience that made me feel like going back to ram the dude’s trunk. I was patiently waiting for this guy for about five minutes, when I had the chance to overtake, I decided to steal a look and see why the guy was maintaining that kinda speed on an expressway. Guess what?? It was nothing! The brother was rather busy licking bananas and nodding his silly head to the car music. 6. The stoppers This category derives joy in stepping on their car brakes unnecessarily. They step on their brakes even when the need is not there and it is more annoying when you’re directly following the vehicle on an expressway because (S)he will keep showing you the brake light and sometimes will stop abruptly and before you can interpret the signal, you’re already in collision with the bumper probably because of the speed you were maintaining. Please, you guys should try and forgive my diction. I’m not a pro at this unlike my bro Tosyne2much and please don’t hesitate to add yours. Don’t stop the fun! Cc kachisbarbie 24 Likes 8 Shares |

7. D lovers This categories r usually young men who probably borrowed a car to take some chick out n ar usually seen during d wkend in d evening n night time smoochin a babe in front of their car in a slow moving traffic . They won't keep pace with d flow of d traffic bc they ve got their hands on other things thereby making every driver to want to overtake them. 8. D horner - this group r always blazing d horn in their car as if they jst learnt where their horn is located. Most naija drivers r guilt of this esp trailer n commercial buses. U dnt won't to b in a traffic jam with this group bc u may b takin a trip to an ear doctor afterwards Op change road users in ur title to drivers 16 Likes |

hahaha. Nice one @valmunich - you're in spirit...was just creating a car talk topic last night. When I see Learners I pity them...lols. I try my best not to confuse them or complicate their learning process. Slowpokes: I hate young women that confirm the stereotyped assertion of us being dull drivers. ...If you can't hit the f**king throttle - get a driver mbok. Meticulous drivers: no mind these ones - them no believe say them fit drive fine car. Na to dey roll the car like bowling ball for road. Stoppers: them full Aba, mostly bus drivers...they would honk and overtake you, then stop directly in your front. The rough drivers/speeders; ...I love speeding/rough driving...just be articulate about it...you wouldn't have any accident. Greeters: I see them in Aba, just saw one now gaan. Na mainly all these big men - wey feel say dem follow press korota. 7 Likes 1 Share |

am in category 3, rough rider / speeder.. But i dont drink I just like my things happening like right away, if you can hit the accelerator like i do , Then you a king Learnt to take things slowly now sha, i have had narrow scale throughs from accidents But i think, the way people drive has a lot to do with their personalty Fast and furious drivers are cool, trust me.. and those ones that move like snail are the difficult kind of people, they take life too seriously There's nothing like driving safe sha My Dad ones gave me a rule.. He said press the accelerator like its your life, the harder you press, just know you r about crushing your life Anytime i am driving and i remember that, i tend to take my cool.. i dont wanna crush my life Check out www.africanwatch.net for the latest happenings in Africa, and International Scholarship updates for Nigerians 9 Likes 1 Share |
