We're glad that you've turned on your notifications.

Who else remembers the song we used to sing back in the days: " Nigeria rides on the right, Nigerria rides on the right, on April 2nd, 1972, Nigeria rides on the right."

It makes sense and productive too. Thanks for sharing !

Thank you for this piece King!

what an insight..this is so helpful..

With your insightful documentaries, we have hope to transcend our history to future generations.

We don't learn this instead they teach us about England and America thanks for this info knowledge is power

What have you contributed to the development of Nigeria???

i never knew why nigeria changed from right right to left until i watched this video ,

Nice brother!

They don't teach this is school Your channel is a germ

Very good documentary, but you captioned if wrongly... Nigeria changed from left hand drive to right hand drive. Meaning, changing from driving on left lane to driving on right lane.

Left hand drive is for the steering. Left hand traffic is for the side of the road.

@@HistoryVille Yes indeed you did your best 👏, also u not native american indian ! I only knew how to pronounce it as my brother lives in the State

impressive,give the option of switching off the subtitles

I 100% support the British Left Hand Traffic/Right Hand Drive (LHT/RHD) rather than the American Right Hand Traffic/Left Hand Drive (RHT/LHD) because its more reasonable, sensible and safer. LHT/RHD driving customs is the best.

CORRECTION PLS. Your title and context is WRONG!!! Nigeria changed from Left-Hand to Right-Hand driving and not the way you addressed it. The LH and RH drive is referencing the Road, not the position of your steering wheel in our cars. We drive on the RH lane of the road. Hence it is called RH drive, while Britain keeps to the LH drive on the road.

Right hand drive is for the steering location in the car. Right hand traffic is for the side of the road you're on.

I hope the remaining continental (NOT island) left-hand traffic (LHT) countries, except countries such as #Australia, #NZ, and more where they don't have any fixed roads to any Eurfrasian continental or transcontinental country, change to right-hand traffic like 🇳🇬 and the #US to best optimize cross-border road safety and efficiency, standardize vehicle production with left-hand drive (LHD), and making international overland road travels easier so drivers don't need extra help when interacting with parking ticket machines, toll booths, drive-thrus, etc. FYI even in the Bahamas in the Caribbean, despite being an LHT country, many vehicles in use are LHD. I hope the remaining LHT continental countries allow LHD vehicles to operate on their LHT roads and eventually switch to RHT.

👍👍👍👍👍

Point of correction, Nigeria did not change from right hand drive to left hand drive, Rather Nigeria change from LEFT hand drive to RIGHT hand drive. Meaning you are going front by your right hand side lane of the road, instead of going front through your left hand side lane of the road. Right hand or left hand side is on the road not your position inside the vehicle as a driver. Find out on google, for the benefits of the young ones, this change took place on the 2/4/1972. under Yakubu Gowon government.

Don't mix left-hand drive with left-hand traffic. We have explained them in the intro. Drive is the position of the driver. Traffic is the position of the road.

@@HistoryVille Don't mislead people on good work you've already done. If you are ask today that what is our driving from, will you say we are driving on left hand drive? You drive on the road and it is not the position you sit in the vehicle that dictate of what side you drive. Find out out on google the newspaper publication of that very day and see what was written on it.

Very correct. You share my same thought and what I was taught at school more than 25yrs ago. I think we need to return study of History to our primary and secondary schools. It is very surprising many comments here and the author are yet to understand the Left-hand and Right-hand driving. Nigeria changed from Left-Hand to Right-Hand driving referencing the Road, not the position of your car steering wheel.

Can you stop playing music in your video

You still never said why Nigeria did it. No government memos, decrees, planning, etc. Are you lazy or is this just click-bait? I am disappointed. Never delve into any topic if you are not going to do due diligence. You didn't even try to access newspaper articles pertaining to this while the decision was being made. Daily times archive is online and inexpensive to access if not free.

@@HistoryVille Sir, this happened April 2nnd 1972. There were certain things that took place at that point and some mandates that were given. I can point you to some of the documents. Don't forget the transition period to decimal currencies, changes to the semester system from the British January - December school year, change to decimal currency - all within a 12-month period. I appreciate the effort you make but I am being critical because I hold you in very high esteem. If BBC, RT, or even Discovery did the same thing, I will be critical and I hold you that high unless the mistake is mine for having a high expectation of your medium.
