Nigeria is a very interesting country. Please let’s hear from you if in any way you don’t agree. On Nigerian roads, you see varieties of people plying the road. In this post, you will see some categories of people you can see on Nigerian road. You see those with sense; those with only common sense; the senseless; those that might not have sense again etc.

Below are the various types of drivers you see everyday on Nigerian Roads.

#1. The Cursers/Abusers: Many of Nigerian drivers are victims of this actually. Driving in Nigeria can really make a saint go gaga. These drivers don’t find it hard to use their open five fingers facing some other drivers direction to shout ‘Your father!’. They have all the road cuss words like ‘Yeye man’, ‘Ewu’, ‘God punish you’ leave their mouth each time you do what they don’t like. They will curse you, curse you family, curse you generation, accuse you of being blood-sucking demon if you mistakenly do what they don’t like on road. They don’t find it hard to rain abuses on people. Most Nigerians have this in common.

#2. Deviants: This type of drivers will always try to make way where there is no way; they create their own lanes when there is a lot of traffic. They are the impatient drivers and are fund of causing traffic jam. They are the ‘one-way-guys’. They will just wait for their leader (the driver wey get morale pass) to initiate this action and others will follow up. Then after passing up to 10 cars, they will try to squeeze in their car again to the right queue again.

Being in the traffic queue makes them feel stupid, and to annul this feelings of stupidity, they pave their own way which will all end creating more traffic. These drivers find it hard to stick into their head the ‘right of the way‘ rule. The unfortunate ones are always caught by road enforcement agents while the sharp ones scale through. They pay no attention to traffic light and will always like to beat it.

#3. Bullion van and escorts: These guys are experts but are often intoxicated with the little power the have. They can be recklessness and sharp at the same time. Their driving is very rough. They switch lanes as if it is a good driving habit or maybe because they think they are above the law. Every other driver on the road doesn’t make sense to them; they consider every other car on the road as nothing. You will experience hell on earth if you mistakenly fall a victim. Okada riders will tell you their stories. They always fall victim of their koboko and big stick.

There have been several incidences where accident occurred which sometimes claim people’s life, render some cripple.

My advice: You should be very careful with them. They don’t mind hitting that your beautiful expensive ride. They will always find their way out.

#4. Racers: [/b]Since there is no speed limit here in Nigeria. Those ones you see on roads might be for aesthetics. These drivers will always like to compete while driving. Maybe to tell you that they are better driver than you, or that they have more powerful car than you do. The only rule they understand is: drive but don’t bash anyone. It irritates them to see a car pass them by; they will always depress the throttle to the mat the moment you want to overtake them. Everything is competition for them. They swerve from lane to lane as it pleases them, most especially when the guy ahead of them is driving like a snail.

[b]#5. The Mr Right: These set of drivers always claim to be right in whatever they do on the road, even when they are wrong. You know them by what comes out from the mouth. They argue a lot, ask stupid questions and might even know very little about driving etiquette.

#6. The Learners: It is not very hard to spot them on roads. They always drive with their big ‘Leaner tag’ in front and behind their cars. They look very mean and always keep straight faces as if they are struggling the steering with anybody. They always get confused in some situations and might not find their way out easily if not with their instructor.

#7. Crazy Honker: They will always honk even when the road is very free and there are no obstruction in sight. Since their is no law against honking, they do it all the way. They honk when they are tired and irritated. who knows…this might be a method of relieving stress for them.

Meaning, you are one of the cursers. Because you can't remind the person he's not in his father's land without some curses.




1. For cursers, please add "thunder fire you". One even shouted "Zuwo" the other day.

4. Racers: go to Abuja and see those politician's kids trying out "Fast & Furious". Maybe because they have good roads. Accident rates are very high in Abuja.

7. Crazy honkers: honking in Nigeria is used for exchanging pleasantries.
