What do you expect in a mega city where crime is been fought manually? Even if they post 10 RRS vehicles on each road, that cannot effectively reduce criminal activities like the use of security cameras with proper monitoring and other technological security gadgets. When criminals are been tracked down in a way that beat them, there will be drastic reduction in crime rates especially that of the highways. However, there has to be massive job creation all over the creation for old and young. If not, boys will end up stealing the electronic security gadget. Same thing applies to traffic. You don't need to chase traffic offenders recklessly to the extent of causing another havoc. By the time you comit a traffic offence at Abule Egba and you're arrested at Iyana Ipaja for disobeying traffic laws, nobody will teach you before you become patience and obey traffic |

Burger01: There was time, just around Oshodi Oke on the bridge in a fairly slow moving traffic, this dirty looking guy just pop out from nowhere held onto my C240 side mirror and threatened to remove the side mirror unless i would give him some money. God! i was livid with rage and suddenly matched on the brake then swerved to my right to crush his freaking figure against the demarcating bridge iron barrier... sensing danger he took to his heels.. I wish I had a piece on me I would simply blast his brain off...men you hash oooo nice one  1 Like |

I guess the governor cares more about transforming Lagos and leaving the security situation in shambles. |

America became a great nation cos of the 2nd amendment for the right to carry fire arms. And any government that denies its citizens the right to bear fire arms,whether long or short,is a tyrannical and despotic government. Before the onslaught of the rebel tuaregs in northern mauritania against the government forces,the threat became too unbearable for the security forces that the villagers were armed with AK47 to defend themselves and ended the attacks. There are over 40 million Americans within the combatant age owning firearms while the government security forces,Army,Navy,CIA,Marine and any other all put together cannot match the fire power of the citizens,hense the quest to disarm the people. Nigeria is unsafe now and will always be if people continue to depend on the thieving government to save them..they will not. It is the indelible right of every human to defend one's self against any slowpoke that threatens life,whether civilian of government agent. Well if u want,turn the right cheek and see what happens. 5 Likes |

Probably while you were being robbed, my colleague was narrating his own experience to me too. Yes, Friday, March 1. We were going home together in his car Friday and he narrated how he was robbed 2 days earlier on that same route - Lekki-Epe expressway, before VGC. Riding with my boss one evening she also recounted another one her husband told her he saw few days earlier. Thankfully, I have never experienced it, careless as I usually am. |

I had an experience last year on the CMS bridge towards Apongbon opp UBA. There was the usual traffic, a friend and i were so engrossed in our talks and i did not wind up (i had fuel in a jerry can for the gen). Two guys appeared on our sides, the guy on my side slide up his shirt and showed me a cutlass and a plastic of liquid which he called acid. He said, i should bring my phones and bag. I gave him my starcomms phone which he threw back at me and demanded for my "original phone" I told him, thats the only phone i have. Meanwhile, they have their hands on the glass which makes it impossible for me to wind up the glass. Then my front was free and i just accelerated like someone pursued by demons. Unfortunately my friend had been robbed of her wallet and phone by the thief on her side but i didnt lose a thing( he kept throwing my starcomms phone back at me). This and so many cases of traffic robberies happen everyday and some were so unlucky, got injured or even died in the process |

@bleufaucon, I don't think naija is ready for any right to arms amendment. I tell you, people would settle scores with needless killings, except in a situation where every gun owner is documented correctly...not wuruwuru documentation..I mean real database documentation with captured finger prints.. Otherwise, na so we go dey hear Landlord don blast tenant brain over rent payment or say a jealous man blasts Mazi's brain for tidying his NYSC girlfriend (Mazi.. I beg na joke o.)... 1 Like |

@op I had similar experience at dat same charity Oshodi junction abt 2mths ago @ 6.10am but thank God my right side was free so I quickly turned to my right and jointed d other traffic line. Whenever I get close to charity oshodi rd I always stay in the middle of the road; make sure dat my windscreen is up and my doors re lock. |

please guys, when driving in a traffic,just wind up your side glasses whether its an A.C compliant car or not, once you are out of traffic and on the free flowing access roads , you can wind down...Cos even if your glass is tapped by a rogue, you can still manoeuvre your way out while your glass is wound up...Winding down gives them direct access and outright courage to extract the persons belongings.. |

I was robbed in a similar manner, this guy came up banging side glass so hard that I was so furious as to get down as the hold up was a stand still type at ojota. When I got down this guy was saying I was the one that crushed somebody in an accident earlier in the day.I was fully focused on him as I knew he was up to no good, only for some folks to start shouting thief. Alas I turned round and saw that my passenger side door was open and somebody making away from it. Immediately that happened the other guy crossed the lanes and the other one went towards m.k.o abiola park at ojota.they took my phones and some change I had on the seat. Caution some of those gala selling boys are informers. They look into your car see your valuables then signal their crooked mates. If there were no street hawkers one would be suspicious of any body walking on the highway in the middle of cars, won't one? All those street hawkers outside being public nuisances are also security breaches. They should be forced of the roads. All in all always be vigilant, and follow your gut feelings on suspicion of anybody. Wish you all safe motoring and commuting. 3 Likes |

I'm always on AC, whether in hold up or not. The thing is they don't care whether your glass is up or down, they track people down in a very heavy traffic where there's no place to turn to. If you read my story well, you'll understand the situation. |
