As we all know, today, Oct. 15, 2014 is a horn-free day in Lagos state. Am currently at ojuelegba, 4.am and I keep hearing the blast of horns as usual.

What's the situation like at your place;

Can we truly do without blastin our horns in Lagos?

Is it possible? Is it even safe? Was there enough enlightenment? These are the questions rummaging through my mind.

horn free day worst in lag. Are u kiddin me its gon be a shout out driving no b small tin....... Screaming and shouting match

Ok...at Itire road now, police patrol on rampage with horns.....

No be only horn free, na Humphrey. Go 3rd Mainland bridge and see danfo drivers blasting horns and trumpets. There are things u can stop in Lagos, but not this one

Lol

Nigerians no dey hear word, I'm hearing horns here at Egbeda

Not possible, so if I horn wetin go happen

Who declared a horn-free day? What's the origin, d person must be unrealistic to think such a law can gain grounds in a place like lagos when e no possible even for village

The whole idea is an inane fantasy of bureaucrats who spend all day riding to work behind newspapers. Anyone who drives in Lagos will canvas for everything else but a horn-free day.

using the horn is a reflex action to every Nigeria road user even pedestrians use mouth to horn.

who even invented this nonsense?

na today they go horn pass sef.

one of the reason they call us names.

what is the purpose of horn in the first place.......

-Calling to order
-Correcting
- Warning
-Getting attention

imagine no one horns in Lagos for that matter.....below is what mighy happen.

Which side? Lagos motorists blasting them horns like a fat kid loves cake

Obinoscopy:

The answers to your first 2 questions are yes and yes. May seem unbelievable, but if you have ever lived for a period of time outside Nigeria, you will understand.
The enlightenment part is what I can't vouch for, but if LASG can keep this up, perhaps even dedicate one day in every month to observe a "no horn" day, the trend will gradually catch on, until it becomes a part of the driving culture here.

The key word is PATIENCE.
Many people tap the horn button for no good reasons: saying hello to a friend while driving by, trying to get the attention of roadside hawkers, letting the driver ahead of you know that he's too slow for your liking...the list is as endless as it is unnecessary. Almost everyone on Lagos roads go through moments of madness between the hours of 6am till 11am, then from 5pm till about 10pm. We are all in a hurry to get to work, and then get home afterwards. These irritating horn sounds peak within these periods and it can be very annoying.

really
u must be kidding me, HORN FREE DAY?
The other day i heard of no bra day, and now horn free day
very soon we will hear something like NO CRIME DAY, NO PANT DAY
The world is really going mad

e no concern me.... Free flow of traffic over here in Gwoza

I don't think is going to be possible especially this danfo drivers that are full of rough driving!.

I wonder waiting go happen

So drivers won't horn today ? How possible is that with the way Nigerians drive on the road?







Private car owners should go and park their car cos na enough bashing dem go get

LASG just wish to achieve that cos they are dreamers and not makers.

Make person cum jam my camry 2009 abi

Abeg na horn sure pass o

Pin pin pin

horn just dey blaze for my ear today pass previous day's like say today nah world horn blowing day
btw, I no come here come contribute anytin meaningful but to check if I can make front page today
thanks for ur understanding

Horn free kwa? For Lagos? It's like saying all commercial motorists should go on compulsory break. I hate the sound of thosevBRT buses when approaching their bus stops.

Its not only about noise pollution, its about trying to be sane in an insane society. Was tempted several times but resisted the need to use my horn on the way to the office. A rule in driving says we should anticipate the moves of other motorists.

No body obeys it in Ojuelegba o

@ in Ajah here its going on well,jst 1 tanker broke d protocol and lastma chase him with bike to sanction him moderately..

Wetin concern my neighbour? He don dey horn before he commort for compound.

I for like enjoy am
