Fellow Nairalnder, no doubt the LASG under fasola has shown their aggression towards revenue generations with all manners of taxes.These taxes include VIO tax, LASTMA tax, LEKKI TOLL tax, Corporate tax, PAYE,
, land use charges, waste disposal tax, omonoile tax, NURTW and agbero tax, tax consultants audit tax etc. Some of these taxes are legitimates (PAYE .LAND USE, )others are pure frauds (e.g. VIO , LEKKI Toll)all in a bit to generate revenue .
HOWEVER, i think it is time we in nairaland seek a good lawyer to prosecute the LASG and FASOLA for all the bad roads in Lagos which has caused incalculable damage and loss to car owners. I always wonder that despite all these taxes only about 100 (hundred roads ) are motorable in over 9,000 roads /street in Lagos. The attendant effect is constant and frequent damages to our car shock absorbers, bushing, clutch, tyroid etc . just last week, a trailer carrying container fell on a car killing the occupants and seriously damaging the car on badagry road. no doubt the ROADS are not car worthy .! but we see on daily basis VIO mounting illegal check point on these bad roads and collecting taxes for LASG. this is unfair and criminality. unless we rise against these injustices by Fasola thru legal means , then the rip off will continue. your tots

This is good thinking but in wrong direction. Goverments, whether Federal, State or Local are statutorily immune from the charges you listed for legal action. However, there is a loophole around which claims can be made and that is in the case of abandonment. You have to prove that the State has abandoned the road. Non repair or lack of maintenance does not prove abandonement.

For example, you said VIO conducts business on the bad road, then there is evidence the State has not abandoned the road. Can you imagine how hard it will be defeat the State's immunity and win a legal judgement?

Anyway, tie-rod, not tyroid.
