OkDifferent confused ppl just come on here to open a meaningless thread.
I dont blame you, data had become so cheap,so at the expense of Nairaland you write trash.you Don watch enuf foreign movies which are fictions .
You go jus see one stupid article for Web,wey belong to the western world,copy am,come dey edit into naija version dey form advice.
Kids with ninja turtle brains .

THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND THE THREAD IS VERY REASONABLE

You may not like the OP advice that doesn't mean it is never applicable. If you are very familiar with the terrain then it could work.

The security threats today are much and people could learn a thing or two

This thread should be under crime section though

This is why things that work in Europe don't work in Africa, I guess this thread was copied not Africa inspiration. This only work in developed countries not Nigeria.

In this nigeria? who wan follow u? Forget nollywood joor. Nobody de follow anybody for naija. Mek i ask una, person don follow any of una before?

Brainy007:
Police go come answer you

Irani.

Its either you beat them to driving and lose them or you get caught if they want to catch you

For me, I'll like the road to be good for racing.

Ama make dem look stupid

bullets speed faster than cars.

AutosBay:
Make four right or left turns. It's unlikely anyone will also be traveling in a complete circle, so if the car is still behind you after 360 degrees you can be fairly certain you are being followed.
If you're on the highway, get off and then back on. Again, this is something most people will not do when driving so you're likely being followed if a car is still behind you when you get back on the highway. If this happens, pull over to the side of the highway. If you're being followed by a surveillance team, they will not pull over because it's too obvious. They may, however, wait at the next exit so if you want to lose them don't choose the next exit or the exit that you usually take.

If any of these techniques lead you to believe you're being followed, call the police.

In Nigeria doing the bold can get you kill.... .. Abeg na to race-off sure pass and give them vamushig tricks.......

Nice write up Op. But pls which of the [/b]police are you advising us to call.[b] If its Nigerian police, abeg it's a no go area. If lucky you if the number go through, not to talk of the rescuing you. Have they rescue themselves before considering you? All I will say is be smart and think faster than the other people trailing you.

In a cage definitely not but try that with my boss https://www.nairaland.com/shagati on his crotch rocket and make the biggest mistake of your life. #PRO
boss today na my birthday oh
16th....remember?

The possibility of them shooting @ me while we race @ a top speed is very little

Same stuff happened to me 2 years ago. Was taking my wife senior brother to the airport with his family. We were driving an Honda Odyssey full option 2003 and I say the vehicle was full and the kids were watching cartoon with roof DVD system. I was not to comfortable with it because it made the car more flashy and it was at night about 9pm and to compound the story the car was using a dealers plate and was only at the front, in short it was a tokunbo not registered. We where leaving ikorodu town and some where around Asolo I noticed an Honda baby boy following. To be very sure I increased my speed they also did, take God the road was free so I continued, at a point they tried overtaking me I blocked them but one thing I tried not to do was not to tell everyone in the car what was happening.we continued the Tom and Jerry chase as we approach Mile 12 bridge I was going up they took down so I thought they were turning back or going into Mile 12 or Ajelogo but to my surprise they came out right beside me after descending the bridge then they brought out their head saying flat tire flat tire park park, my wife brother wind down his widow to say thanks and told to pack so we could check.this was at mile 12 instantly the four tire stated wobbling, I told him I am not stopping even if the rims are left I will keep moving I increased my speed again and as we approach ketu I took the service lane headed for ketu police station as they noticed this they zoomed off. I parked to check the tire they were all in good shape. Got in back and continued our journey it was at this time I told them what was happening.

gabazin080:
u well at all?

You are sick right

BTT:
Thank you.

However, I don't agree with parking in the middle of nowhere. That may be ok elsewhere but with ruthless Nigerian criminals.

Run. Run. And run.

One night sometime last year, I suspected a Matrix was following me on Ikorodu Rd, I climbed Anthony bridge and crossed to the other side. It did. I gunned on to the expressway and back to the service lane. It did. I turned off into Shyllon in Palmgroove. It did. I switched off my lights and refused to press the brakes, I was using the handbrake instead.

I drove into a primary school parking lot and parked smartly facing a gated street. The Matrix zoomed pass and stopped about a 100m away.

My phone kept ringing in my pocket. Thank God it was in my pocket. I locked up the car and ran to the gateman. Without asking, I entered and told the man that I think some people were following me. He asked me to wait behind a building. After some time, he came to me and guided me through the street's alternate gate, and how I could walk back to my car. I picked my phone and it was one of my chairmen. He said 'BTT you are a criminal! I was tailing you, but you somehow beat me to it. Now I have to find my way back home. Abeg come make we go joor'

Funny. Guys are just too much. They can do anything to prank their friends. Lolz

Dont panic, dont drive in circles, go straight to where u've crowd like market, supermarket, university campus, parks, a general hosiptal etc, drive straight there, come down from ur vehicle and join d crowd, leave ur car there, find ur way to a save place, call a friend that will help pick ur car, let him/her drive it to an army barrack or any millitary barrack around u or a well secured environment, he/she should also leave d vehicle there by doing dis u would confuss those tailing u, after a day or two, u send another person to pick d vehicle, avoid using ur car for 2 to 4 weeks be4 using it again.

Ubachinwe1:
Bring out your semi-automatic revolver and release two shot in the air, watch and see how the follower will make a V-turn.

Warning shot!!

the best solution so far.

Nigerian police get phone number??

Keep gunning your motor down the road. Don't look back. Pretend as if you haven't seen anything. Until you lead them to police next. Meanwhile, keep making calls to anyone who 'd offer help.

One could also drive into the nearest police station

This method is for pussiys....the best thing to do is to look for a close and drive in untill you get to the end of the street..make sure it is an isolated one...of they are still following you using reverse mode..quickly jam the care from the front or better still side to disarm and confuse the intruders..then pistol in hand come out and quickly shoot the driver and other occupants of the vehicle..head or chest shot is better..one the are dead,take their phones and wallet to track their senders and set the care on fir while driving away fast and smoking a cigarette...get a cool beer afterwards

Were (madman). LOL.

From here the Op got it wrong. If u dont choose d next exit because they are waiting for u there, it means they will continue to follow u since u must drive past them in order to avoid the next exit. The best thing is to join the opposite lane and held back to where u were coming from.

Your attention is needed in the Stock Market thread. Why did u disappear just like dat?

Psylas:
You spoit everything buy saying call the police, this is not for Nigerians in Nigeria

I really support u.
Even Police dey fear for their life sef.
If u notice say them dey follow u, jst drive lyk fast and furious.

this info is good, but you didn't specified the police we should called. Nigerian police or US police?

to me I say run for your life, if possible speed to someone house, park like you are a visitor and jump through the fence for your life first ... Hahahaha, just my opinion oh

lolz! you should be writing scripts for Nollywood.... Nollywood oooo not Hollywood.

Good one.

My expereince in Enugu - 2013.

Was coming back from work around betwen 6pm and 7pm. Already on the street after passing thru a bat spot where cars had to pass turn by turn; I noticed a yellow mistbushi L300 bus (two men inside) behind me which i did not take as anything. However, after taking a turn the bus was still behind me ; moving fast when I do and slowing down when I do. I was I bit curious beause commercial buses don't ply this route. On getting to four road junction. I decided to take left turn against going straight, as I took left they also took left. Immediatly I confirmed am being followed.
I decided to shake them off or seek for help, cos I was alarmed. I increased speed and created a a good gap between us. As I get to the T junction, I slowed down and waited as if waiting for traffic to clear, immediatly I sighted them from my side mirror and making sure they saw me, I took left turn very fast and switch to slow movement again, within 20 seeconds they are taking same left turn on a fast move. Simutaneously on another fast move I took another closeby left turn and stopped abruptly at the middle of the road. As they made to take same turn they saw me not moving and instantly they stopped. Now it was obvious to them that I know they were following me. I saw their faces from my mirror though I cannot recognise them.
As I started moving again they now kept going straight I moved very fast as take another left turn and with 1.5 mins I have parked in my compound. I quickly changed putting on short as I was walking up to the junction I saw same vehicle moving on faster pace. i just smiled and went back relieved that atleast they don't know my house.

And u said call police in Nigeria!? looks lyk u copied an american post

you sound too sure. Trust me : people who come looking for you to the extent of holding a gun are usually very smart people. They know how to do things that stupefy average logic and expectation. Why do you honestly believe a straight shot at the driver's seat on a highway will be cool on you.
