I'm so sad because I have people in Lagos (non indigenes) and I just can't imagine the everyday pressure imposed on these people.
If you must practise your career, resign and go get a job with your cv.. stop acting like pharoah!
make life easy for the people. Abuja is progressing smoothly and conviniently despite being the CAPITAL of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC.. The people are happy including the lagosians..

Stop acting silly to generate money via tax..

Rubbish! Rubbish!! Rubbish!!!
Greedy crooooks in Alausa.

Despite the billions in taxes, Lagos is
still rated world's third worst city to live in.

etunoman76: I am a civil engineer and gets a building contract in Lagos that'll take about 4-6 months to execute, and I decide to travel down there with my car for ease of transportation, with the intention of going back to my permanent base in Abuja. Does that mean that I'll now have 2 pairs of plate nos and double registration, one for Abuja and the other for Lagos?
I'm trying to comprehend the logic behind this particular part of the law

You didn't get compensation or an allowance for a vehicle? That's usually how it works here, so I'm not too sure. Usually companies provide transportation and housing for contract workers.

Oga Fash! Still waiting for bicycle Laws for we users too ooo

I laff in chinese language, Very soon LAGOS GO TURN FROM STATE TO COUNTRY, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF EKÒ

born2fuck: The topic is deceiving it should have been" Lagos won't allow other plate numbers to operate commercial purpose"

that is wat we cal market strategy in journalism.
If the head line reads ' Lagos wont allow other plate nubers to operate commercial purpose' majority wunt read it.

A law is a public policy and a public policy is what goverment choses to do or not to do and what a government does or doesn't do is made possible by the majority and the majority makes this possible by electing those who wld do their wishes and when their wishes are not done, they shld protest or through the legislative arm of govt whom they also elect and if it dosnt work they go out on the streets to protest peacefully and if it dosnt work and a recall or impeachment dosnt work, the voting majority waits for the next election.gbam! Americans are waiting for the next election and lagosians wll soon gt their own chance once again.

Coolturbo: Na wa o, Lagos state wants to have their own country ,am very sure, they will soon have their own money, rubbish.

shut it ignoramus. You are so deep in filth when you see cleanliness, it becomes absurd.

I'm into private practice. I think the govt shud take a critical look at the part of the private car owners. I envisage a lot of abuse on the part of LASTMA.

Impossible!
And it doesn't make any sense...

I agree. Our leaders are fond of not always thinking things through.

Come to think of it, since u are in the States, it must be pretty late there. Are u working late or just trying to keep in touch with the happenings in Naija? U don't have to answer that, tho

The bolded and winch duties lol.

Some of them do have good intentions, but no workable plans in place, which often lead to failure/abandonment. I had a rather painful experience some weeks ago. The rot in the system can be frustrating some times

Nigerians moan about everything. Our failed democracy has shown that without draconian rules, Nigerians do not have the discipline to do the right things. I support Fashola for this bold move. We need a very firm hand since we have decided to remain unruly

This fashola and A.C.N are just looking for avenue to raise fund and they make useless laws back it up.why did he not make law to prosecute non performing officials of his government.All the thiefs in local govt,tax office,licencing office he cant do anything to them than bring laws to steal money and they ll use the money to fund elections in other state.Fashola and tinubu has turned lagos state to world bank use to fund elections. Ondo state people is waiting you ....

ogugua88:

The bolded and winch duties lol.

U are not serious . That winch duty must be lucrative. So, where is ur duty post? Hope not the hospital oh! Cos I fear for the babies there, u know na, winch and babies, hmmmmmm....

If people are conducting commercial transportation businesses in Lagos, it is right that they have Lagos number plates. Yes it is to raise income too.....but that is the logic behind all measures of this type the world over.

All states should adopt this same rule actually.

I do think the Lagos government should make the transition a smooth one, with a time frame for compliance and information on how to obtain the plates.

In as much as it a pain in the asses of suffering unruly nigerians,this is how states get their acts together,make their monies,in this case for animals liketinubu,and become real big brother by having all and sundry in the database.It is something that must happen in nigeria for there to be sanity and control,but a little bit of it,in a place where government personnels are not compeled by law to be responsible,it is a little too dangerous.

It cannot remain the way it is done now,that the collections of state revenues should be in the hands of former state givernor,who thinks he is an emperor and does not give precise accounts of the revenues he collects.It is abuse of privilages,abuse of power and a total negligence of a democratic system.Tinubu has to be brought to book,for lagos to be sane.

etunoman76: Some of them do have good intentions, but no workable plans in place, which often lead to failure/abandonment. I had a rather painful experience some weeks ago. The rot in the system can be frustrating some times

This is true. I give credit to some of them trying, but like in Fashola's case, I think there are more pressing issues that need attention first.

I'm an apprentice winch so the pay is menial for now. My duty post is in the Caymen Islands, near Mitt Romney's bank accounts. I don't mind the low wage. The place is beautiful

I support d idea of d uniform buh i dnt buy dis one of re- registering

gud move.

Stringent laws shape society,but all has to be equal before.Animals like tinubu can get away with mass murder,while a hapless truck pusher can be sent prison for puhing his truck on the motorway.It is a case of lawlessness.

It is a move that will translate into more Naira for Lagos state each new registration will bring in well over 2000 anually for the life of the vehicle. Next stop all those lorries bringing in food to Lagos how do we tax them

Just consider how much police were making from their toll check points in Lagos and if all that money was going to government. Lagos can still double internal generated revenue.

Next we should also tax every cow killed in Lagos ,pretty soon you will need a farting licence so only big men can mess. We don't want boli and epa mess in Lagos

ikoha: where is Lagos?

syria

LWKMD @ uniform for drivers and conductors

u praise dem, dey'll overdo

acidosis™:


Must it always be LAW LAW and LAW? ? ? Na only him get law degree ? ? ? we have governors with 3 degrees including one in international law.. yet doing well without putting pressure and fear on citizens..

Fashola is a lawyer without intelligence.. simple

you can say that again! Very soon he will say lagosians without vehicles should also have plate numbers! Smh

In as much as I detest this new law, it appears Lagos is the only state thinking in Nigeria

Hmmm.It seems many of you guy's can not understand how good a move this is. As born2fuck has pointed out earlier,the law applies only to vehicles used for commercial purposes. Why should you use your vehicle continuously for commercial purposes in my state if it carries another state's plate.What many of you are advocating is what has kept the whole country backward since long ago i.e less developed zones/regions/states/whatever they are called not allowing others to develop. You think it is wise to wish Nigeria as a whole develop at the same pace? That is just mere wishful thinking. Some places will always be quicker to produce leaders who can see further into the future than others.

When it comes to raising money for their political leaders via tax, they will enact some stup!d laws that 'll force me to be a Lagosian by fire by force but when it comes to contesting for the same political office and enjoying some of the pecks that comes with it, I would be reminded that afterall, I'm not a true lagosian. Talk of hypocrisy of the highest order. Don't you guys think that what is good for the goose, is also good for the gander.
