I want to learn to ride a motorcycle but I have two questions.
1. Can I use only gear two throughout my journey?
2. Can I use only front brake to stop?
3. How do I prevent myself from falling?

Please add more tips after answering my questions. Thanks.

Better take time to learn.. riding in Nigeria or anywhere for that matter can be deadly.. and its new riders that die most.. once you learn and obey the rules your chances of survival are much higher

You cant use gear 2 for your whole movement.. you use lower gears for low speed situation and higher gears for gigh speed

Front brake depends on the type of bike.. for a low end bike ( okada) front brake is not reliable. Master the back brake.. for a japanese or European powerbike front brake is your main brake.. squeeze it gently also use the rear.. dont use front to brake when turning

You prevent falling by riding within your limits of ability and anticipating well .

Be careful of intersections/ junctions .. always slow down and check

There is much more to learn

But it's better than none right.
I learnt how to play keyboard online.
I learnt how to ride bicycle online.
I learnt how to swim online.
I learnt how to sing online.
I learnt how to shoot online.
If I can learn these things online then I can learn anything online.
