Reno Omokri: I Never Realised What Car Horns Were Meant For Until I Went To Uni by saphiere(f): 7:06pm On Sep 11, 2021 |
I never realised what car horns were meant for until I went to university in England – Reno Omokri A Nigerian human rights activist and lawyer, Bemigho Reno Omokri has revealed when he realised what car horns are meant for, WonderTV Media reports. Posting on his Instagram, Reno disclosed that he never knew that car horns are meant for emergencies until he went to a university in England. He said when he was in Nigeria, he thought a car horn was meant to make the car in front of the driver move faster or it was meant to call the gateman to open the gate. Reno stated that, in Nigeria, people use car horns to greet. Read his post below: “It was not until I went to university in England that I realised car horns are meant for emergencies. Throughout my time in Nigeria, I thought car horns were meant to make the car in front of you move faster, or to call the gateman to open the gate. In fact, in Nigeria we even use car horn to greet. I had a neighbour who used his car horn like a talking drum. Po po pom was ‘how are you’. He even used it to call his children to the car. One pom was for his first horn. Two poms was for the second, and so on. So many things we need to unlearn in Nigeria!” https://www.instagram.com/p/CTrhLCRD87v/ 34 Likes 3 Shares

Na you sabi You can't stop that here in Nigeria, it's already here to stay for good. The guy selling goods in the traffic knows "pam! pam!" means market. If he carry your oyinbo mentality, na hunger go wire am. It's simply to call attention here Bimpe29: Which kin emergency?! Even those taxis carrying "along" won't allow it to be used as emergency. Talkless of one guy dancing to "Guitar-boy" in his car but wants everyone to know. 287 Likes 11 Shares |

Very correct!. In Europe, one can stay for 6 months without hearing the bleep of a vehicle's horn. The only horn/noise one will hear is siren from ambulances on medical evacuation. 89 Likes 7 Shares |

I realised car horns makes most Nigerians drive recklessly. One day I went for a function ,my car horn was very Okay.. immediately after the function, I entered the car only to find out the horn is dead . I thought of how to drive on the road with all the bike , Keke and other road users,I felt like parking the car,on a second thought, I zoom off. I couldn't imagine that I drove this car without horn extra carefully back home... I drove it again without horn for two days because my schedule was very tight to go see an electrician. I never believed I could drive so carefully.. After the incident, I concluded that we abuse car horn in Nigeria. 265 Likes 8 Shares |

Wrong! The car horn is used for many things including calling attention to other road users for so many things. At least we watch films and same applies even in UK & USA for those that have not travelled. Has he just realized this when he went to school in UK, after leaving in USA for several years. The guy dont have content and just want to trend by abusing Nigerians every time. And the illiterate Nigerians will readily idolise him for his junks 21 Likes |

Car horns may have been made originally for emergency situations in other countries, but in Nigeria the situation is different for obvious reasons. Just like we "imported" democracy and (mis)use it so are different other things. Don't use your car horn here to your peril 4 Likes 2 Shares |

The govt should order horns to be disabled in all vehicles. That will help reduce noise pollution considerably. |
