What an eye opening experience being a passenger on the roads of Nigeria. I will no longer take it for granted the blessing of having emergency infrastructures in place. Motor vehicle accidents happens so frequently. An ambulance service may consist of a station wagon ride to a local clinic or hospital system if you're fortunate to live in a community that offers this service. There is no such product as car insurance unless you're talking about the "open hand" policy. When you can pay the police to either slow down the process or not report the accident at all. In Abuja and certain parts of Jos there were paved roads. In Abuja there were actually working signal lights and traffic police directing traffic. The best option to travel through Nigeria is by having a driver. The ultimate driver of choice is a government/military member. Our uncle's driver picked us up from Abuja. His name was Suleman. His position rank allowed us to pass through areas without any problems.
