nakedall: This really show that Fashola is a failed Lawyer and a disgrace to the Law profession. how he became SAN? only God know how?

What is the minimum way to start with?

RICHIE BOI: Lagos State House of Assembly has passed a bill for a law to repeal and re-enact the road traffic law and to make provisions for road traffic and vehicle inspection in Lagos into law for Governor Babatunde Fashola’s assent.

redsun: War against indiscipline.Idaiagbon comes to mind when laws like this are initiated.People got to behave rationally in conformity,including them fcking law givers that expect the common man to obey the laws while they do otherwise.

CuteTj:
Are you educated at all? What has Fashola's law qualification and competence got to do with this law? Is it Fashola that is proposing this idea? And for your information, It is still on paper and it hasn't been signed into law by Fashola. If you live in Lagos, you will appreciate this bill. Do you know how many accidents, how many human beings have been killed, the loss of valuable time and resources driving against traffic (one way) has caused in Lagos? We Nigerians are so indisciplined & very lawless, that is why Nigeria is at the level it is. We need tough laws to check our excesses and to make us conform to rules and regulations. (pardon my harsh words but that is the reply that best fits the way you reasoned in this your post). [/b] The people responsible for this bill that hasn't even been passed into law is The Lagos House of Assembly as shown in the bolded text above and not Fashola

Paentera: Which one is smoking while driving? Na wa for these our LASG headed by Fashola, a known smoker. Does smoking while driving impede the quality of driving? BTW, I don't even smoke, but believe that clause or part of the law is absurd.

RICHIE BOI:

Smoking while driving will attract N20,000.00, failure to give way to traffic on the left at a roundabout N20,000.00, disobeying traffic control will be N20,000.00 violation of route by commercial vehicles will attract N20,000.00. Riding motor-cycle without crash helmet for rider and passenger will attract N20,000: 00 or 3years imprisonment or both.

This has got to be the joke of the year. misplaced priority indeed.

CuteTj: smoking in this sense is not only cigarette but includes indian hemp/marijuana e.t.c And it has been reported that, cigarette/indian hemp can trigger severe mental disturbance and it can affect performance. I guesr you haven't seen a motorist smoking indian hemp while driving because i have seen.

O.D.B.:
^^^what people are complaining of is not the law but the penalities. They are too extreme and can as always be subjected to abuse

O.D.B.:
Penalty or revenue generation ?

O.D.B.:
thank God I have left that agbero city for good, i will soon put my late dad's properties for sale and finally relocate permanently to Abuja

PeterKbaba:

honeric01:

Postpone your smoking till you get home, then you can smoke the whole house down, but when or while you are driving, DO NOT SMOKE.. It's an order (law) lol.

O.D.B.:


so now justice is for rent and for the rich only

Billyonaire: Smoking is smoking....

O.D.B.:
When has weed become synonymous with tobacco. Thats like saying snuff is cocaine or heroine injected intravenously is the same as a vaccine


and for your info ciggerates have the same effect as coffee, they keep you alert

O.D.B.:
In 5 to 10yrs, Lagos will be finished for good. The migration that Lagos used to enjoy but to which they now shun will stop. There will be no more companies in Lagos as most will be forced to relocate to other cities given the high tax regime. The state cannot bear the infrastructural development not because of the lack of money but for the lack of the right leadership coupled with greed and corruption et-al Tinibu style. Other cities will spring up notably from the southeast (Uyo, Calabar and Port most likely) with the development of deep water sea ports. The FG has refused to invest or allow investment into these areas for a while for only God knows why but my haunch is because of the northern cabals who are afraid to give the southeast a direct access to the sea and by so doing create further avenue for further industrialization of that region.

The main problem with Lagosians (to which I was equally guilty of) is that you think that Nigeria revolves round and depends solely on your city. That is total BS. Lagos has benefited more than it's fair share in terms of FG revenue. If you are so proud of third mainland bridge know that it was the FG that built it. If Lagos is so rich why then hasn't Fashola built a fourth mainland bridge? The maintenance of that bridge is currently being carried out by the Ministry of Works and not the Lagos State government. The longest road project LASG has carried out was a mere 50km one lane road which cost approximately a billion per kilometer and is currently the only tolled road in Nigeria.

Ask yourselves Lagosians, If truly you are not getting a raw deal.
