As an Instructor, I will pick 17 years for both of 'em...though they are to start with Theory aspect of it.
You can't introduce them to the car straight it's wrong.
First let them know that 'nothing is to be feared, they are only meant to be understood'
After giving them your own version of theory for like 3 months....introduce to them the physical aspects, Parts & function of the car...as it varies in all cars.
After all these send them to a Federal Government Approved Driving School so that they can be taught by Professional Instructors.
It's wrong for an under age to drive in any of Nigeria roads until he/she is 18 years & possess a Valid Learner's Permit or Driver's License.

You need to go back and learn how to drive. Driving is not a DIY thingy.

My dad taught my brother and I the theory of driving for sooo long that I started despising driving. When we go to start the practical, he will have us share the drivers seat him with him, while he is controlling the pedals, we will be handling the steering wheel. After a while when he felt we had become perfect on handling the the wheels, we graduated finally into full control of the entire driving assignment. First on our close, then the street, then the inner roads.

We were taught reversing last. Needless to say, when in a foul mood, i can run a BRT into third mainland bridge sea. I do my Lagos to Calabar trips without any qualms. Thanks to strong basics.

Once your hands can grab the steering wheel, your legs can touch the pedals and your eyes can see the road ahead ... Then You are eligible to learn how to drive.

You beat me to it.

Well it work for u easily doesn't mean it will work for others.
With my experience so far.....its not easy to teach anybody you know on how to drive...let Genius in the house testify to that if its a lie.
the age is important... driving as underage is not normal....av u seen accidents...cox I av...cox by underage & learner driver

Once your parents own cars, I don't think it has any age cause either the driver will teach you secretly or you learn on your own by stealing the car keys to do some practicals. I started even before I was 14, but had more experience at 16.
