You can drive without scratches in Lagos, as long as you don't drive out of your compound.

Even in your compound it's not safe. Your neighbor or your neighbor pikin can hit it with stone break the mirror.


Nigerians are wicked innate

Except the governor's official car. The vehicle has the protection of numerous outriders and escorts.

Not possible, especially if you are in Lagos. Lagos is a jungle where complete disorder and chaos rule.

This is definitely not possible in Lasgidi. The day I drove my newly bought tokunbo car home it was bashed by a danfo. I have been bashed by keke, okada, danfo, BRT, even wheel barrow at Mile 12. Meanwhile I have been driving in North America for about 2 years now without a single dent or even scratch on my car. The driving in Lagos is just plain madness.

Apart from scratches, even fines handed down by road safety marshalls...if u don't know a particular road well and u want to come out via one way, na fine even when u explain to them....all these are what one should fear on our roads especially Lagos roads.

Certainly. If you live in the right city, do your business in the right neighbourhood and don't make a habit of roaming around town. My cars are impeccable, even my operational vehicles.

Impossible.

My car got scratched the same day I painted it.
Several ways to repair:
1. Buy can spray paint of your colour and carry along for minor scratches
2. Buy nail polish (women stuff) that matches your car colour and use on minor scratches.

It's almost not possible anywhere in Nigeria....I've tried it in different states and failed...no matter how careful you are, the funny part is,you can park your car,dash off to do one or two things,only to come back and meet it with tribal marks

I drove my car in PHC with no scratch from that action. All the tribal marks i received are from sources unknown. I park my car, come back 2 hours later and my car has changed tribe grin grin grin grin

That guy will guy will make a transfer right there for a repaint. I don't suffer fools and reinforce stupidity. Nigerians are too damned lawless and I'm fed up with their annoying knack for chaos.

I wish I caught the mad man who scratched my car the same day I finished painting it.

That guy go pay me my money right there.

Please this question is too personal.

I just finished repairing the bumper that trailer hit.

I am considering just giving up on this driving thing. Everybody seem to be mad.
