In a now-viral video, a woman recounts her amusing encounter with a resourceful bus driver, proving once again that necessity is the mother of invention.
According to the clip, she had boarded a commercial bus from Lagos Island when she realized the vehicle’s horn wasn’t working.
A serious issue on roads where honking is practically a second language for navigating traffic.
Undeterred, the bus driver reached for an unusual substitute: a rubber toy trumpet, the kind typically found at children’s birthday parties.
With a straight face and eyes fixed on the road, he gave it a firm squeeze, emitting a squeaky toot in place of a traditional honk.
Social media users were quick to react, finding humor in the absurdity of the moment while also applauding the driver’s creativity.
Many noted it as a perfect example of the everyday ingenuity people often display when faced with challenges and limited resources.
