When Nigerians Build Bumps, They Build Mountains

If you’ve driven on Nigerian roads long enough, you know our “speed bumps” are not just bumps—they’re Everest in disguise. Forget those gentle, polite humps you see abroad. Here, a simple bag of cement, a shovel, and a determined landlord can produce a car-scraping masterpiece overnight.

The recipe is simple:

  1. Cement + Sand + Village Meeting = Instant bump.
  2. Add zero measuring tape, sprinkle a little impatience, and boom—you have a bump that can test your shock absorbers and your faith in God at the same time.

These cement mountains may slow reckless drivers, but they also come with a price. Hit one too fast and you risk:

  • Broken exhaust pipes that suddenly sound like Formula 1.
  • Bent rims that wobble like a drunk wheelbarrow.
  • Suspension damage that will make your mechanic grin like he won a lottery.

So next time you see a freshly laid “bump,” remember—it’s not just a bump. It’s a free car inspection you didn’t sign up for. Slow down, say a prayer, and glide gently… unless you want your car to start speaking in tongues.
