None please. However, I'll say vio is the worst. One of the officers followed me to my kids school to pick them up before driving me to their yard, all in a bid to ensure I renew my papers that expired. Loooool.

And this is a bad thing? You see why Nigeria will never get good leaders? Because the followers are as bad as the leaders!

AutoJoshNG:
I was listening to this programme on radio.


The OAPs - some popular comedians - requested listeners to phone in, and admit which of the road traffic authorities they would prefer to have a brush with - if they were caught contravening any of the traffic laws.


The options thrown up included the FRSC, VIO, Nigeria police, LASTMA, the army, etc.


A deluge of phone calls trailed the question. Opinions were freely aired.


At the end of it all, it turned out that the VIO was the least preferred by the callers. The reason - chiefly - was that VIOs are hard to compromise by traffic law offenders.


However, the Nigeria Police Force stole the show.

Almost 100% of the callers – without hesitation - admitted that if they ran afoul of any traffic law - they would prefer to be arrested by the police.

Now, you're itching to find out why they preferred the police - right?


Well, your guess is as good as mine.


It goes without saying - the Nigeria police officers have the sublime ability to turn a blind eye to any crime committed after an exchange of a paltry sum of money. Sometimes, the amount could be as low as N20!


This - according to most of the callers - cannot be easily achieved with VIO, “Road Safety” officials or LASTMA.


It was quite an interesting, humorous and sincere interaction.


However, what particularly arrested my interest - and of course, gave me a cause for concern - was how these set of Nigerians brazenly admitted a support for corrupt practice on a live radio programme! Even more worrisome was that the callers actually gave their real names and locations!


It is worrisome not because these callers would be arrested for airing their perverse views, but it shows how low our moral values have degenerated.


At a point, the OAP had to ask one of the callers if this wasn’t encouraging corruption. But trust some Nigerians, they have this incredible ability to invent defenses for our criminal tendencies.


Now, this got me thinking; have, we, Nigerians, become so corrupt and crime-prone without us realizing it?


Perhaps, I should ask you – who would you prefer to be arrested by - FRSC, LASTMA,VIO, Police?

Police accepting N20 in 2018.

You better don't try that.
You could get yourself killed by mentioning that amount alone.

To be candid "police are your friend" d moment u enter be it, VIO, Lastma, Road safety trap! VIO deflated my Tyre in Dia office, Road safety booked me ticket for expired Tyre dat I bought "first grade tokunbo tyre", Lastma guys are barbarian at "Allen Roundabout "(couple of years ago), with just #200 I was able to free myself from d Police cos of expired car documents and they even gave me a clue on how to manouver and not to pass thru a certain place cos I will meet another set...lol

Nigerian law enforcement officers are cheap. Men who practically beg money undermining your offence with impunity with a total disregard for the law

How can you have a country with these greedy so called officers?

Any country where police can bluntly collect tolls and fees from offenders is doomed.

But why not? With the calibre of dubious uneducated political so called elites. It will be a cynosure of unending curruption in every sphere

Total overhauling of the system and employing well trained officers who have no regards for personal greed and gains will be Nigerians best cure

LASTMA is the biggest extortionist. Once your vehicle gets to their office, get ready to pay at least N50,000. Not only that, you will charged N1000/daily for as long as your vehicle remains with them. Say you failed to raise N50,000 in 30 days, that makes it (N1000 x 30 days) + N50,000 = N80,000

LASTMA is a soul-less and mindless organisation raised for the purpose of extorting drivers (including those that are new on Lagos roads) for the propagation of the Lagos agenda. LASTMA is more interested in raising CAPITAL for Ambode and Tinubu than protecting lives on the road and enhancing traffic flow.


FRSC as far as I'm concern is still very much reasonable. Although they have a way of wasting one's time, their charges are fairly reasonable.


When it comes to the levels of extortion, I would say the POLICE is truly your friend. The POLICE is corrupt but it is way better to deal with a corrupt person than a mindless extortionist.
