Coolturbo: Na wa o, Lagos state wants to have their own country ,am very sure, they will soon have their own money, rubbish.

manny4life: Priceless......

Mr Fashola does have some traits of a dictator...

adconline: A state whose governor is a SAN should not be acting like it's run by Boko Haram. We are talking of Motor Vehicle Licensing and Freedom of movement. They are ultra-rives of LASG. Motor licensing falls under exclusive list of FG and cannot be exercised concurrently by state.

ogugua88:

This is how it's done in my native state of California.

•A nonresident owner may operate a vehicle (other than a commercial vehicle) in California until he/she accepts gainful employment in this state or establishes residency in this state, whichever occurs first, if the vehicle is registered and displays valid license plates issued to that owner by the foreign jurisdiction where he/she was a resident

•A nonresident owner of a vehicle may operate, or permit operation of, a vehicle in California without obtaining California registration if the vehicle is registered in the owner’s place of residence and displays valid license plates issued by that state.

•If the nonresident registration does not indicate an expiration date, it will be considered to expire one year from the date of first use of the vehicle in California.
◦Fees are due immediately if the owner accepts gainful employment in, or establishes residency in California.
◦The fees must be paid within 20 days.

When the person gets a job or a place of residence like normal Californians, then they need to re-register their vehicles. It is only after that that there is a time period of 20 days to get the vehicle registered. What on earth is "about 3 months"?

Besides, aren't there bigger issues plaguing Lagos? Did they not see Rick Ross's video?

Idokojimmy: Lagos State Government on Wednesday said it would no longer allow the use of vehicles with number plates from other states of the federation for commercial transportation in the state.

It also advised residents with private vehicles to change to the state’s number plates to reflect the fact that they are living in Lagos.
The Director, Vehicle Inspection Office, Mr, Gbolahan Toriola, said the measure was meant to achieve “sanity, standard, safety and security” as stipulated by the road traffic law.

Omo_Tier1:
What is the difference between what you have quoted as obtainable in California and what Lagos is trying to do? Is it not the same thing? If you want to use your car on Lagos roads ( paid for by the tax payers ) for commercial activity in Lagos, you may as well register that vehicle in Lagos so they have a proper database of all the vehicles used for commercial business WITHIN Lagos.

[s]Is this not similar to a situation whereby some owns a business in say Lagos but lives in Ogun. Does the business owner pay Ogun taxes or Lagos taxes? Of course s/He pays the Lagos taxes because that is where the business is domiciled. Same goes with the car used for commercial business in Lagos.[/s]

I think the law is a good one, my concern is with implementation as most of the touts and tribal bigots will exploit the situation for personal gain.

gulfer: I live in Mowe or Alagbole (Ogun State) and work in Lagos. If Lagos insists I register in Lagos for continual presence and Ogun adopts the same mode, what happens then?

plenty kola: to me this is stupidity and madness

afinic001: Another mispIaced priority! Why can't dey take empIoyment generation seriousIy d way dey took d traffic Iaws?

kingoflag:

Do you have a vehicle?

Do you use it for commercial purposes?

Dont you think you should re-read the article?

adconline: Motor vehicle licesening in Naija falls under exclusive power of FG,, as such, motorists cannot be over-burnened by LASG to have double license plate. If other states emulate the same, it means that a driver is required to have 37 license plates from 36 states plus FCT.

Eko Ile:

You don't know how to read, that's your problem.

adconline:
Can you read for me? Before you do, define exclusive, residual and concurrent lists.

Where does LASG get the powe to enforce motor licensing requirements?

Why should I do that for you? You don't have any kind of formal education?


Re read the article again and compare it with what you posted below...


They obviously are not talking about the rubbish you are talking about. Learn to read and comprehend before you open your ignorant mouth...

fulfillment2020: Misplaced priority. What has the use of other states plate number got to do with providing effective transport system for the average Lagosian? Someone sholud please call Fashola to order.

adconline:



For a cretin follower like you, how clueless can you be to understand that FG power overrides LASG power in a case like this?
Do you in your idiotic mind think that other states cannot follow suit?
Your display of sophicated idiocy is really amazing. I thought they invented Google for stagnant brains like yours?
I forgot, you are an NL troll
