Actually people it is very very possible to drive without using the Horn in Nigeria. I hardly ever use my horn when driving... EVER!!! I used to be a sales rep on the road 24-7, plus now I'm regularly on the road with my own car. It's just all in the mindset and developing a habit of patience. The Nigerian psyche has so f4cked with our mind that we're always in a hurry, can't form simple queues etc. When I'm on the steering, I just take it easy, allow those in Russia to do their thing and afterwards come through like a boss. Some seconds of patience... Waiting never killed. Try it today, if you die please let me know so I'll make a donation to your fam ;-) 14 Likes 1 Share |

chukux2: Would have doubted you if not a friend of mine is like this too. The guy will never honk his horn even if he sees someone about to cross the road without looking his way. Not for me mehn. If I see a child playing close to the road. I honk. If the keke guy is forming Fast and Furious close to me. I honk. If that bus driver suddenly decides to park in the middle of the road for passengers. I honk. If I notice people talking and about to cross the road. I honk. And so on... No be say I like noise but I need to get these people's attention before we hear say them shoot bird but the mama fly. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

ogawisdom: Lmao!!@bolded. Popsie carry olympic gold medal for this. He will never wind down when driving but will rather honk the horn at you in greeting and drive past. You should see the gentleman when honking the horn; his muscles practically bulge when he is leaning on that horn. He drove my sister's vehicle for a week and the horn disintegrated. His excuse is that Lagos drivers only understand the language of aggression 9 Likes 2 Shares |

It's surprising how you guys say it's impossible to drive without a horn in Nigeria. I do that all the time. The horn was removed a long time ago, for more than a year sef. Back to the topic, I no wan imagine that kain thing abeg. That's why I'm usually very careful when driving. Whenever there's a particular area with a lot of people, especially in a market, I do not take that way. I don't mind wasting extra fuel than driving in such an area without a horn for that matter. 1 Like |

justi4jesu: Running will make it worse bc mob ll catch n beat u mercilessly as if u r a robber. Ur offence to them is nw double hit n run n God saves u if there r no old tires n fuel n a very mean mob bc u may b burnt alive esp if d person u hit died on d spot. Driving off with ur car to d nearest police station is d best bet n pray u r nt halted by traffic in minutes. 1 Like |

Ishilove: You could manage to get by in Abuja town without using your horn .... motorcycles have been banned in major roads, danfoes have been banned, pedestrian bridges are being constructed and the road network is getting better.. But in the outskirts e.g Zuba, Mararaba,e.t.c using your horn becomes a reflex action... 2 Likes |

I remember my brother asking this same question and my response was that, I'll run. If the situation was better in Nigeria I might get down to help. But now in Nigeria, people do anything for cash. You don't know if hoodlums are waiting nearby to lynch you (me being barely 5ft 2in gives them the upper hand) the instant you set your feet on the road. So I'll just call an emergency line, report the accident and location. Driving might pose a great challenge as I might be shaky but one's got to survive.. 2 Likes |

It depends...If you hit someone or even a goat in kogi state run for your dear life, don't stop at all ..... If u hit someone in a couple of select urban cities in nigeria like Abuja, Lagos and port harcourt(I don't mean Aluu in rivers state) you should stop and try see if lives can be saved ,then yall should proceed to a police station (I don't mean them container police posts )....

Save d person if u can. If d hit person is dead it will b good one report to the police n law court. Dnt go to d police alone to avoid u running into trouble. Nigeria is so corrupt n justice is meaningless most times dat I am tempted to say dat if d person is dead maybe one should drive n run. Pray for God's forgiveness. Yes I know dat is wrong bt tink abt it in most cases dem hu do d right thing by givn in demselves r usually jailed on hard labour for a long time n more often are killed. |

In Nigeria, first thing to do is park and rush the victims to nearest hospital. If you try to run you would be lynched. Just hope you didn't you don't have the accident at a crowded area. Because then you are on your own. |
