Abeg if you're the one that annoyed the Sun, please be humble and go and apologise.... It's not funny anymore o *straight face*. Even my sunscreen is making me dark...Imagine!.. I don't understand this thing anymore *sad face*.

She is a very funny woman I swear. While chilling and perusing her blog, a blog post caught my attention and I was blushing through out... I was blushing till I dozed off....I even dreamt that I was blushing..LOL.. Thank you so much Eniola for those sweet words..*hugs*... you mean something to me and that something is priceless. Thank you so much. God bless you....I know you are wondering what exactly I'm talking about..Anyway, here it is,,,,This was what made me blush...
Please help me visit her blog to show some love... she has plenty gist ehn... kai... http://airneetee.blogspot.com. Thanks.

This post is going to be a mini rant / reality post. I was just doing some random thinking in my confused head and I just thought to bring it here.

So some weeks ago, the governor of Lagos state declared a ‘no horn day' in Lagos....if you didn't know about it then you've sleeping under the mat o...*raised eyebrow*... Now the idea was, no one must honk their horn on that day...as in throughout that day....

 I know 99% of Lagosians said it was impossible...I am part of that 99%...Because driving in Lagos takes a lot of energy which results in a lot of HONKING..... If you're not battling with #okadadrivers, it would be #keke or danfo buses..So if a driver has to face these wars on a daily basis then he needs his horn. I was really looking forward to going out that day and see how the no-sense bus drivers would behave. You see, Lagosians honk like the sound of their horn would fly out the bonnet to go and slap the person they are honking at.

Let me digress a bit....
There is a disease in this country that only affects drivers... I am not lying o*straight face*....It is caused by a virus called the ‘Hornanus' virus which enters the body through the palm. When this virus gets into the body, the first destination is the brain. It travels to the brain and messes it up in such a way that you do not have control over the things you do while you're driving especially honking your horn. *PAUSE*....How many people believe there is a Hornanus virus?...LOL...  well, I know we  have doctors in the house...i.e. Omowunmi and Obi, but don't bother asking them cos I just made up that virus in my head..*grin*..but I'm sure there is a virus like that...check google..hehehe.

Back to the matter:

So the governor woke up one morning and decided that for a day, no one should honk their horn or else.....???...No one knows what the repercussion for flouting the order was but we were all asked to adhere to this rule. I felt that was the joke of the century my beta people. You see in Lagos, drivers use their horn to communicate. You want to say hello to another driver, you honk your horn twice...it's a thing here in Lagos. You want to insult a passerby, you first look at your horn, then look at the person you're about to insult with a stern face and then honk your horn like 5 times and the person would get the message *Leboo does it almost every time... he says I'll learn to do it someday when I get my personal car and start facing crazy drivers* (all I  could hear when he was saying this is that I'm gonna have my own car..shikena..)

The most annoying horn users are the ones that embrace their horns immediately the traffic light turns amber before green. Before you can take the gear from park to drive, you would think their cars can fly.... They would press the horn so viciously in an attempt to alert you they have places to go to.....Like we all don't have places to go too...*rolls eyes*...Then some Bus drivers have left the regular normal horn...they have like an entire symphony for horn...you wouldn't know if it's an ice cream truck passing by or a mobile choir...mmssteeewww!!

My fellow Nigerians, let us use the horn with moderation. It is already frustrating driving in Lagos....stop making it worse with your sound system horns...please. na beg I dey beg...some horns can over shadow music playing in a packed club....it's like those who feel theirs ain't loud enough go to fix sound systems with sound boosters on their horns...na wa o...

Who else here shares this my pain? You don't even  have to be a driver to be frustrated by car horns....LOL

In other news, I'm still collecting Christmas gift o... GB already promised me a Bentley....*dancing my Shoki remix*.... who else will fill my promise card?  Yep I have one...hehe.. *runs off*.

Cheers....

  7. Moby ehn, the particular one that pisses me off is when they start the cacophony just between the transition from amber to green. Am I blind? Are they psychic to know it's about to change? It's a car not a witch's broom that doesn't have gear.
    Now I'm ranting my own...
    Esther please take only 2 panadol extra, don't let these mad lagos drivers frustrate your liver. Mwah
