Why Do Nigerian Motorists Keep Religious Books On Their Dashboards? by AutoJoshNG: 12:10pm On Mar 06, 2019
Indeed, it is very common to find motorists driving around with a copy of a religious book placed on their dashboards.

Sometimes, these books look like they have never been opened – let alone read – in this millennium.

So, one wonders if there is actually some secret benefit of permanently placing a religious book on the dashboard or a vehicle.

Or does putting the Bible, the Quoran or any religious material on your dashboard prevent a driver from having an accident or harm of any sort?

Chances are, it will not. If anything, you would probably be more likely to get in an accident with it on your dashboard since it would be a distraction as it slides back and forth.

Also, in the event of a sudden halt, while driving, there would be the possibility of it flying off to hit someone in the face or falling down and getting under the gas pedal (accelerator) or brake pedals.

It is advised not to place a book, or any other loose item, on your dashboard. You might just be asking for trouble if you do, or putting yourself in harm’s way.

It's the only Insurance they never have to pay for... while most white folks will Insure their cars and pay for it believing anything can happen, it's easier for us blacks to find the sense of relief in telling ourselves that with the Bible, or Quran on dashboards we are covered n insured by the blood of Jesus.
Truly Religions are killing us black folks, especially Africans, most especially Nigerians

People just dey decieve their self, do you know the number of cars that have had accidents with bibles and koran on their dashboard. The bible is just a book like any other book, printed and bound, same with the Koran, the important thing is the msg inside.

You are all wrong. I do it and not for all the reasons you guys have mentioned.

If you attend your church programs regularly especially midweek programs, and you have a car, you will want to have one bible permanently in your car. This will save you from not going to church with a Bible cause you can go to church from work or from anywhere else.

If you want to do the above where else would you rather keep your Bible? In the boot? On the floor of your car where it can get dirty or liquid gets spilt on it? Or in the car safe so you don't have to any more space for other things or on the sit where people will sit

I need answer to this.
