Caboose

I was just struck by the thought that I haven’t heard a fire alarm in a long time.

Some Nigerian buildings have fire alarms (NTI does) but I’ve seldom seen one that showed any signs of actually working.

In fact about the only time you hear sirens or hooters here is when some big man is passing by on the road and his police escort want you to get out of the way. It’s quite noticeable that the Nigerian police don’t waste their sirens on trivial things like getting to the scenes of crimes quickly.
