Weekend Humour: How many Nigerians know how to use a fire extinguisher?

Weekend Humour 

How many Nigerians know how to use a fire extinguisher? 

Something pretty interesting happened today while I was heading home (as usual). I sat in a cab at Rumuola Junction, waiting for it to get filled. The sun was high and scorching hot, when one of the roadside fruit sellers started shouting,

"Leave my cucumber! Leave my cucumber!!"  

I turned to look at what was happening and there was another woman removing some cucumbers from a paint bucket just by the road. She succeeded and started off with the bucket which obviously had some content in it. At first, I thought it was the usual Urban Development guys at it again, trying to chase street traders and all. Looking at where she was heading, my eyes caught a man standing in front of his car with the bonnet open. Alas, there was a huge flame of fire in the bonnet and the man was at a loss for what to do. The woman with the bucket which apparently had water got close to the car and without thinking twice, splashed the content on the man and his bonnet. She didn't care about the man, all she wanted to do was salvage the man's car. You could see the determination in her as she ran back to her colleagues for another bucket of water shouting,

"Water! Water!!". 

The first lady whose shouting drew my attention was now running around shouting "Water!" as well,  but I couldn't tell if she was serious or not because somehow, she looked like she was having fun and enjoying herself. The expression on her face could tell she wasn't serious anyway. So the other lady got the second bucket which had been kept for her and went back to the car. 

In the meantime, guess what the driver was trying to do? He was buying sachet water from a hawker nearby. And I was wondering, what would sachet water do in that situation? But that's not the funniest part of this story. A man ran to the car with a fire extinguisher. Seeing this, I was a little glad that the situation was taken care of. Far from it. The driver took it, fiddled with the top, turned it here and there and handed it back to the owner. The owner took it and started 'admiring' the thing. He too didn't know what to do with it. He was pressing the top, nozzle and lever, and calmly walked back to his car. I couldn't hold back my laughter at this point. The driver of my cab was laughing as well. One babe that had joined the vehicle and saw the fire was like,

"It's not a laughing matter o". 

And I was like, "It is o. How can the driver not know how to use a fire extinguisher? Even the owner too?"

The fire had gone down at this point, but wasn't over yet. The Determined Woman with the second bucket was close to the car. This time, she went to the side of the car, lifted the bucket as though she wanted to pour it in the car. And we were like,

"Ah aaaah! This woman sef. The fire no dey dia na".

Unknown to us, the dashboard was also on fire. We only discovered this when the driver opened the door and smoke started coming forth. A driver who didn't even bother to assist was like, 

"Him never comot the battery?" 

Some persons who heard were like,

"Ehn, go tell am wetin to do na!" 

The man was like, "Him no be driver? Him suppose know na!" 

At this point, my cab was ready to go and we left the scene. 

So my question is, to be honest, do you know how to use a fire extinguisher?
