90% Of Nigeria Don't Know How To Drive My Experience by fineboynl(m): 8:31am On Apr 12, 2023
I noticed Nigerians don't know how to drive. It's my painful experience on Nigeria road and no matter how you tried to be careful with your car as long as you are riding it in Nigeria they will distroy your bumper and scratches your motor it's terrible experience men I can't explain how from top to bottom, from rough drivers and people with mental problem. From trailer to lury, keke to bus drivers stoping here and there. from looking off road calling/picking passenger without watching. From people running to no where from blowing horn on you in bad spot where you are gently moving through bad road or bump they will be blowing horn or overtake you in bad road. The funny thing is that you will end up catching up with them as they running to no where.

The most Painful put is the once coming from T junction to enter the main road instead to wait patiently for road to clear they will chock head inside the road. That's how I hit one yesterday destroying my bumber it was still claiming right.

I'm not sure of the percentage you are quoting but you are generally right.
The worst I've seen are the Lagos drivers...most times you have to chill for them if you value the neatness of your car and sometimes, their own lives and yours.

Lol... I really hate the bolded. The spirit of hastiness and lackadaisical attitude is heavy with naija driving. That's how a Toyota corolla hit the side rear of a Toyota hilux or so when the hilux was about turning and I wondered how the accident happened. I'm sure the hilux driver was at fault turning when he ought to wait.

I was on bike this day and I initially saw a car accident with Okada, also happened in a penultimate u turn before the u turn of the hilux and corolla. Almost same time, same day.
