How can the repairs of 49 damaged BRT buses whose glasses were probably broken and perhaps some tyres deflated by angry protester cost one hundred and thirty nine million naira?? None was burnt or engines vandalized..how much is the cost of procuring one Bunch of Oles

at the end of the day d hawkers and we the buyers lost... those hawkers should have used their brains, wats the point destroying the BRT buses

Has he built new jails or added new cells in the existing jails after discussion with the Prison service?

Almajiri1:
139 million for repair works on 49 vehicles? Who negotiated this deal?

What we should understand is that there's proper insurance (not d oluwole type we get for ours!) on each vehicle and its going to cost both sides (govt and insurer) formally because the auto company that'll repair will quote astronomically (that's their way). So, yes, its could cost hundred of millions because insurance on heavy duty cars dey cost.

This is bad news for us all....the ibos control the hawking market with gala...pure water etc..... ....now that they've banned this nuisance trading...we are going to get an increase in armed robbery from these people....the police need to be armed to deal with the fallout.....ibo and crime be like bread and butter...

Otu gbowa kwa nnegi, i'm sure your mum was impregnated by a bush pig, your brain was surely affected by that.

This is sick and very anti-people. Those officials are simply empowered to legally carry out more illegality.

And who repairs "49 buses were actually destroyed and it is costing us like almost N139m"? This is day light robbery of public funds. How much do new buses cost? Some damage may just be broken side mirror or doors.

How will they manage, I hope they will provide a better jobs for them...

Firefire:


54.78% of Lagosians fall within this poverty line and has been supporting themselves by trading, either in the streets of in traffic.

Ahn Ahn....... 54.78% of Lagosians which is 13,742,691 people out of 25,087,059. (according to Wikipedia) either hawks or sells something on the street?

It seems you just closed your eyes and picked the Stats that just appeared in your brain.

We are estimating repairs on cars and some people that don't own cars and have no business with mechanics are disagreeing with people that frequently visit the mechanic.

"It is not in our DNA to allow someone to just die by road accident or the way it happened in respect of the incident. But beyond the fact that we lost one person while crossing the road as a result of evading arrest by KAI officials, I need to tell Lagosians that over 49 buses were actually destroyed and it is costing us like almost N139m to put those buses back on the road,” he said.


@ the bolded, what about insurance? This sorts of situation is totally avoidable.

Day11:


More reason why they should quit and stop risking their lives.


RIP to the guy sah

Meanwhile, Ambo for President

We Pray beloved Ambo finds the balls to channel the energy on clamping down on the rampaging area boys (Alayes) who are everywhere on the streets of Lagos extorting, maiming, stealing, and all what nots.

Disatisfied Lagosians merely venting their angers and showing off their general frustration at and dissatisfaction with govt.

I wonder what's these youth would survive on.. Crime I guess, Crime rate would increase 101 Percent.

So if we buy and we lacasera and we see Kai coming and the seller running away we just throw away the lacasera inside gutter to prevent arrest

Ban Street hawkers and end up creating Street, area and home armed robbers... No jobs oh

hmm,nigeria and laws,anyways laws are made to be broken one day,this law will surely not last,it will definitely backfire with consequences.
What has the government done to alleviate poverty.#foodforthought.

I agree with you. Do you know why people, for the most part, obey the law in America? It's not that they are so good and kind. It's because they know the government over there mean business. America can use a billion dollars to find a culprit who stole a pen. Even if you committed an offence in 1912, they will still be looking for you till today. Even if you had died a long time ago, they will try to find your corpse. That's how serious they take law enforcement. In Nigeria, the law is a sugggestion. If you like follow it. If you like don't.

Too much movie. Cut it down.
What's your experience with crime investigation in America? People commit crimes and walk away undecteted on daily basis.

The law enforcement agents there are quite advanced but people still outsmart them.

ProfyJay:
In enforcing this law the state government should also make provisions for an alternative for these hawkers who rely on this business solely for their daily bread!

making sense

This is first hand information bro. No movie. I did not google my comments. Please re read my post again. No one said every criminal is caught, but most are. Which is why there is faith in the legal system. Unlike a country where jungle justice is the norm because of lack of faith in the system. America spends a lot of resources in apprehending criminals as a deterrent to others. There is nothing worse than being on the run for the rest of your life. Nigeria is a country where people commit murder legally everyday because of lack of faith in the legal system. Smh.

bigass:


Which alternative?

They should go n hawk in thier Biafra republic n in thier fellow brother fedora cap republic.

Ambode lying, d number of buses that was destroyed is nt upto 20. I watched evry single action at maryland that day.
STRATEGY TO STEAL MORE MONEY.

loopman:


Write any nonsense you want to write on NL, go to the roads of Lagos, hawk and go to jail.

WA GBAYI, ORI E O FOKA SIBE DEM NO KNOW SAY EKO O RAN IYA WON.

And moreover #139m to repair buses wey demage, wey e b say na only glass break. Na wa o see another looting.

Project400:
I heard this on TVC today.


...in so far as the government do all it can to sensitise the people, the instruction would be duly obeyed. N90,000 fine is too much to sacrifice on the altar of ignorance. In fact, if these hawkers have N90,000 somewhere, they likely won't be on the road trading.

The 90,000 is optional as the offender still has the option of a 6-month-jail term.
