Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s former aide, Reno Omokri, has identified misuse of car horns as one of the things Nigerians should halt.
He said the horns werte meant to be sparingly used, as he discovered in England, but they are for fun in his fatherland.
He said in an online reflection:
“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 for the second, and so on. So many things we need to unlearn in Nigeria!”
