Things I Noticed About Nigerians And Their Cars And Driving In Nigeria.. by junketer(m): 8:07am On Jul 11, 2020 |
I visited nigeria 4 times last year. I noticed a lot of things about car owners in nigeria. 1. A lot of them do not know how to check or refill engine oil or brake fluids in their car. 2. Most cars in nigeria have engine lights always showing but it's disregarded. I asked my sister about this and she jokingly said most nigerians will not buy a car that the engine warning light is not showing. FYI, engine warning light showing means you have an engine problem. 3 . Most Nigerians Don't know their car tyre pressure. This is why tyres burst. Your car must have the same tyre size and the same pressure. All the information you need about your car tyres are written on the front passenger door panel. Just open the front passenger door and look. 4 . Most tyres are worn out. You can literally see the threads of some tyres in some cars. 5 . Nigerians always drive at night with the full blast of their car head lamps. They never dim them. 6 .Most naija drivers do not bother to check their break lights or indicator or parking lights. 7 . Most nigerian drivers don't indicate when they want to turn left or right. 8 . I don't even want to talk about wheel balancing or alignment cus naija roads no go even let you know whether your car is aligned and balanced. 9 . The issue of right of way is non existent in nigeria. Everything na can you put head first before the other car? If you manage put head first it automatically becomes the job of the other driver not to jam you 10 . There is no good driver in Nigeria. Please add yours. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

I dont blame you @ No5 Yes we drive with our headlamps on and fully blaring on the high way because government did not install street lights along our highways unlike elsewhere. Make I talk truth... That No9 is so so true and e dey vex me well... Those commercial bus drivers are so guilty of that and I always feel like slapping them... 6 Likes |

How many car owners did you interact with during your visit to Nigeria? How many states did you evaluate in the course of your research? How many cars did you drive to verify your assertions? By the way, asking just your sister is not enough to generalize your opinion. I'm not in anyway saying that, "you're wrong..." I can attest to some because I've once had encounter with probably one or two persons but OP, there are many car owners in Nigeria who pamper their cars than anything in their world... 9 Likes |

HeavenlyBang:take am easy o But seriously, my younger brother came to join me where i am staying. He wanted to drive my car one day and i told him he wouldn't know what to do on the road and he said he had been driving in Nigeria for years. Well we weŕe going out one day and i told him to come and drive and guess what, he almost caused an accident within five minutes. He forgot about the roads signs along each and every road. He didn't know what the yield sign means, he forgot to indicate when turning left or right, speed limit seemed non existent to him. He didn't know how to properly go through stop signs. He made a lot of mistakes before i took over the driving 2 Likes |

uchman:you are right about number 5 because i finally understood the reason for that. One might just drive into a pit if the road is not properly illuminated at night. |

SamuelLoch:That's why i used the word "most". I never said it's everybody. And I don't have to drive thousands of cars to verify somethings. Like the engine light Issue, just drive around at night and you'll see that the engine light is on in almost all the cars you look into. Same with tyres, you can easily check those. 4 Likes 1 Share |

junketer:The check engine light being on doesn't mean Nigerians think that's how it should be. Some of us know it shouldn't be on. Some cars have the emergency brake lights on too. Does that also mean we all think it's alright for it to be on? Your sister stated her opinion and which is to the best of her knowledge. A lot of cars on the roads today don't the engine warning lights on. At least none of mine. Sometimes these lights are on for a flimsy reason eg cat code or egr or downstream 02 sensor and the owners knowingly ignore them. We have people here who don't have a single warning light on their dash. 6 Likes 1 Share |

kingreign:just you in hundreds of drivers. In naija roads it seems like anything you drive is ok as long as you don't hit people or other vehicles. I don't even want to talk about how one-way rule is constantly flouted. |
