Driving Overseas Vs Driving In Nigeria: Which Is Better?

I had dis argument with some friends of mine who came back from europe. Our argument was which country(ies) is the better place to drive a car. Well, their wasnt much in their argument except dat they prefer driving in Nigeria as it is much easier even though hectic to drive around. They gave quite a lot of points but for the purpose of this write up, let me make it brief.
Point one, their argument was dat in major cities of europe america u can't drive beyond the recommended speed limit or u'll get a ticket.
Point two, road signs n symbols must be strictly adhered to or u risk d impound or a ticket 4 disobedience.
Point three, drunk driving, a serious offence overtheir, i guess u know wat happens next if u ar caught
Point four, no abeg or money exchange hand if u ar caught, its just direct to the point, jail, impoundment or ticket.
Point five, getting a drivers licence, very difficult as if u want to rewrite Jamb exams.
Point six and a funny point at dat, dat in europe u can be pulled over at anytime for little suspicion of anything, also 4 petty offence like overspeeding, u can be chased by d police until u ar caught. I called dis point funny becos my friends said police only chase armed robbers and thieves in Nigerian not traffic offenders.
Let me halt here cos their points are still many.

B4 i end my writeup, let me give a little insight about driving in Port Harcourt where i live.

On a clear blue sunday morning, i tried 2 drive out of my gate n d first thing dat gets my attention is the presence of serious traffic jam rite infront of my gate, imagine dat on a sunday morning. After some time wasting, i finally succeed in getting to the highway only 2 get caught in another serious traffic jam dis time caused by a church crusade. The church congregation blocked a complete lane on d highway without blinking an eye about motorist passing tru. After spending close to an hour in a compulsory church procession i decided to pass tru a bye street only to be stopped by huge potholes and gullies adding to the huge downpour, some parts were completely flooded. I succeeded in scaling tru dat hurdle and came back to the major highway only to be met by police brutality in my own words cos police patrol and bullion vans were all moving oneway facing oncoming traffic jus to avoid d traffic jam on their own lane. To cut a long story short, i finally succeeded in getting to my location but something caught my attention, their were so many people around cos their was a small market place nearby which made me to reduce my speed considerably. But can u believe dat those walking refuse to leave the road even after horning for minutes, the traders too have completely blocked half d road jus to make quick sales, their was a busstop close bye, plus a huge refuse dump on d way. I guess u can imagine how dat place looks like. The driving was hell 4 me n i began to remember wat my friends say dat driving in nigeria is easier than driving in europe.

So, which is better? Nigeria or European or American Countries.

lmao!!! I will never ever drive in Nigeria

Nigeria of course, if you want to commit suicide

You fit drive for Naija, you can drive anywhere in the world. That's for sure .

true ohhhh

 ;d ;d ;d

^^^ You now can see why I said your own craze pass my own .

The only places i've ever driven in Nigeria are Port Harcourt and my village and I loved it.
PH city used to have sane drivers unlike Lagos. . . . .tufiakwa!

Now na mad people full road.

like everyone with a driver's license overseas actually knows how to drive- including Nigerians.

Granted however, your chances while driving are better abroad, ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL AND IF ITS NOT YOUR TIME YET.

It's a no-brainer. . . . . . .Driving in Naija is far easier.

No rules, no laws. It's just chaotic.
Who wouldn't want such?

Do not mind them. This is why Nigeria never be in progress. They go to abroad and followed the rules. They return to Nigeria and do the opposite things and yet they will be the first to complain that Nigeria is below third world country. Those of us that drive in abroad suppose to be a remodel to Nigerians that are back home. Shame for those that go to Nigeria and not obey the laws.

As for driving in abroad is more safer and easier. You know your limit and where you are aheading unlike Nigeria, until someone tell you that you are in Ibadan or Ore or Benin city, you will not know where you are. As for me, Nigeria is the last place on earth where I will never drive. The day I am ready to settle down in Nigeria, I will hire driver period.

overseas without question.  i hate driving in nigeria

9ja driving nah die for lack of a better term. I drove in lagos this summer when I visited, my first time ever driving in 9ja. To say it was nerve racking is an understatement, but I'll tell u what it didn't take me long to catch up with the driving madness.
My gurl's dad is a retired soldier, so I drove one of their cars with a a soldier belt & koboko on the dash. whenever one of the danfo drivers tried to cut in front of me or I cut in front of them & they saw the belt & koboko they backed off . I mysef come get road rage, I don't curse so my gurl did all the cursing wile I drove. The scariest part was I saw a driver that missed his exit & instead of going to the next exit & turning around ma guy just decided to put the car in reverse on a express way & started reversing. The same exact thing occurred when I caught a cab in abuja, instead of the moron of a driver going to the round about cuz he passed where we were headed he put the car in reverse on the highway, I was begging him just to go to the round about while my gurl was cursing his azz out for endangering our lives. The most bizarre thing I noticed while driving in 9ja was the constant use of the horn, you have to constantly honk your horn & also non of the drivers stayed on their lane, oops I forgot there aren't any lanes in 9ja. I traveled quite extensively by road when I visited 9ja & all I can say is it's only God that looks out for us cuz of all the reckless driving taking place on the road.
And oh by the way, the so called traffic wardens or yellow fever whatever u call them these days were oblivious of all the traffic gridlock around them. They were more concerned about which driver they would extort next, 

I wonder at some silly topics people discuss on this platform. I expected to see some constructive and intelligent discussion here yet its all BS.

1. Imagine Fellow nigerians hate diasporans

2. Driving overseas vs driving in nigeria.

I beg cut it off.

Driving abroad is dull, why build cars with high capability and then impose speed limits?
What traffic lights? We synchronize our driving at intersections, it's part of the fun.
Traffic jams? What better excuse for getting to work late?
Zebra crossings? But we don't have zebras in Nigeria, or at least not on our roads. They better rename them human crossings if they want us to respect them.
Road rage? Aren't we naturally aggressive and we are we to express our frustration with People Deceiving People government.

Naija takes the trophy! Naija for life
