Can You Drive On Nigerian Roads Without Scratches? by DigitalPastor: 7:46am On Dec 18, 2019 |
I recently go a direct tokumbo car I'm driving that's smooth and clean. I swore that I'll be so careful on the road as not to get it scratched or bashed and I've maintained that. Count down to last Friday evening. I was driving down the street, approaching a T-Junction, I put on my pointer to the direction I'm turning to, lo and behold this nigga with a tinted 406 was doing a reverse right at the T-junction. I sighted him and stopped even though I had the right of way to move....all along I've been beeping my horn just to signal him that I'm there and I couldn't reverse because another car was following. This nigga reversed and hit me from the side. I came down , didn't know if to start a fight or shout or scream. He said he didn't see. It's a minor scratch but it hurts. Can you totally avoid such on our roads ![]() 10 Likes 1 Share

It's almost not possible anywhere in Nigeria....I've tried it in different states and failed...no matter how careful you are, the funny part is,you can park your car,dash off to do one or two things,only to come back and meet it with tribal marks ![]() 230 Likes 9 Shares |

It's almost impossible especially if you have just one car as your daily driver. It's why I smile when I see Nigerian used cars advertised as first body without a scratch 20 Likes |

Unless you car is invisible or driving a very expensive car that people would be scared to come near you. Even at that, no one has full immunity. 9 Likes |

My car is less than 2 months old and I am already considering painting the front and rear bumpers. These scratches caused by Keke marwa and bikes that try to squeeze in between you in traffic. Not possible not to get scratches in Lagos especially if you live on the mainland. Maybe island peeps have it different? 9 Likes |

DigitalPastor: That guy will make a transfer right there for a repaint. I don't suffer fools and reinforce stupidity. Nigerians are too damned lawless and I'm fed up with their annoying knack for chaos. I wish I caught the mad man who scratched my car the same day I finished painting it. That guy go pay me my money right there. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Never. At least not in Lagos. Even if you dodge bus, keke must scratch you? If you dodge keke, okada must nack your side mirror. That's how we roll in lag. You must be scratched, if you live in some hoods and you park outside some kids will see you newly sprayed car and say 'how come no scratch' and do the honours for you. Learn to live with it., now sef some scratching I dont even bother to stop cos last last na oga abeg oga abeg. But if you bash me !!! All of us turn agbero 14 Likes 3 Shares |
