Nigerian roads have potholes as natural speed bumps so this can never happen.

HeartlessMan: Most Nigerian drivers guage their driving expertise by how fast they can go while dodging potholes.. Only in Nigeria will a human being do 160km/hr on a pothole-infested road.. When you try to caution him, he will say: "I have been driving on this road for the last 22 years, so I know where all the potholes are and their various sizes" or, "na Hilux I carry, the tyre too big to feel pothole", or "na for dis pothole area na im armed robbers dey stand, so e dey very necessary make pesin no looseguard for here or " Armed robbers dey open shop for here from 8pm.. So e go better make we clear from dis area before Night do o.. " While some of the reasons given are very valid in the Nigerian situation, some are not. 6 Likes |

Pothole spoil tyre alignment and wheel balancing. So e pay to land gently on less deep pothole, than make your tyre bounce twice at top speed. |

iHateFraudsters: That's true Anytime I am on the Abuja-Jos Road and I get to Bade, that area where that late Chief of Air Staff, Alex Bade, hails from and where he was shot dead, I move at a steady 170km/hr despite the bad state of that road, with a resolution to kill anything, human or otherwise, that appears in my way, and not stop until I clear that stretch of road.. There are other portions on that road where I do that too, as well as portions of the Okene-Lokoja road, Ife-Ibadan expressway, Keffi-Akwanga Road, and many others.. On those roads, I hardly step on my brakes while moving at breakneck speed.. Pesin wey see as my motor dey move on those roads go think say I be armed robber wey police dey pursue I know that that isn't the proper way to drive.. But on some Nigerian roads, kill-and-Bury driving is very necessary...On these roads, survival is the principal thing.. We can get back to being law-abiding drivers when we enter relatively safer portions of highway. 1 Like |
