Nigerian roads have potholes as natural speed bumps so this can never happen.

Most Nigerian drivers guage their driving expertise by how fast they can go while dodging potholes..

Only in Nigeria will a human being do 160km/hr on a pothole-infested road.. When you try to caution him, he will say:

"I have been driving on this road for the last 22 years, so I know where all the potholes are and their various sizes" or,

"na Hilux I carry, the tyre too big to feel pothole", or

"na for dis pothole area na im armed robbers dey stand, so e dey very necessary make pesin no looseguard for here grin or

" Armed robbers dey open shop for here from 8pm.. So e go better make we clear from dis area before Night do o.. "


While some of the reasons given are very valid in the Nigerian situation, some are not.

Wonderful analysis.

Nigeria is on a different level.

We don't sync with normal things.

Pothole spoil tyre alignment and wheel balancing. So e pay to land gently on less deep pothole, than make your tyre bounce twice at top speed.

That's true


Anytime I am on the Abuja-Jos Road and I get to Bade, that area where that late Chief of Air Staff, Alex Bade, hails from and where he was shot dead, I move at a steady 170km/hr despite the bad state of that road, with a resolution to kill anything, human or otherwise, that appears in my way, and not stop until I clear that stretch of road..


There are other portions on that road where I do that too, as well as portions of the Okene-Lokoja road, Ife-Ibadan expressway, Keffi-Akwanga Road, and many others..

On those roads, I hardly step on my brakes while moving at breakneck speed.. Pesin wey see as my motor dey move on those roads go think say I be armed robber wey police dey pursue grin

I know that that isn't the proper way to drive.. But on some Nigerian roads, kill-and-Bury driving is very necessary...On these roads, survival is the principal thing.. We can get back to being law-abiding drivers when we enter relatively safer portions of highway.
