I love Nigeria

kingoflag: Very stup.I'd idea.

This is what should've done instead:

1. Have a database with the information of every car/driver. Force the states to start maintaining such records so it can be accessed on a whim by Federal law enforcement (since States don't enforce Interstate highway rules in backwards aszzz Nigeria). Give financial incentives to states that comply by a set deadline, appraise and affirm penalties against those that don't.

2. Encourage the States to build and maintain modern traffic courts.

3. Give the highway patrol officers computer access in their vehicles that can check on the identity of every speeding driver they accost by accessing the databases suggested above in real time.They don't have to slow down traffic like they are fo.olishly doing in the pic. Give them radar guns to be able to spot speeders. They can write you a ticket based on whatever speeding violation they allege you've committed and they can send you on your merry way; this is after entering all your info--- and the amount which you are expected to pay for your violation--- into the database from the computer in their car. If you dont pay the ticket amount, or dont show up for your hearing in court ( on the date stated on the ticket) to explain to a judge why you shouldnt pay, a warrant for your arrest is then issued and entered into the database. Next time you're accosted by any law enforcement officer, for any reason, anywhere in the country, once your name pops up the database will reveal that you have a warrant that calls for your arrest; you'll be immediately taken into custody.

Putting Nigeria onto the right path to sanity and development is actually not that hard, all that's required is investment in the right places instead of idiotic endeavors like N16billion guest houses for the V.President, or N4billion halls for an illiterate First lady that can't make a proper complete sentence and is a disgrace(like her husband) to Nigerians everywhere.

Truth be told, Nigeria, you need Buhari. That's the only way corruption can be stemmed and the monies being yielded by the country be put to proper use instead of ending up in the pockets of a few dense individuals who don't see the advantages of an orderly, and properly run society. Just one Buhari term and it is my utmost belief that the country will be back on its way to greatness.

at least the is hope for nigeria when i read people like you

Dummies constructed Nigerian roads.

How can they make a 3 lane-width road a one-lane road? Very very stupid construction. Of course, overtaking will be inevitable.

What happened to all the radars in the 80's? FRSC used to write tickets in the 80's. Why can't we do this in 2013? Equip their vehicles with radar guns, issue tickets to people who exceed the speed limit. To ensure payment of tickets, confiscate their LICENSE PLATE until they pay up. Give them a grace period of a week or so to comply with an official note that would prevent them from being harrassed by other govt agencies during the grace period. Problem solved.
Oh and yes, money should not be an issue because this project can be self financed. Take out a loan for the equipment and allocate a fraction of the tickets issued to repay the loan. Case solved.

Don't mind them, by the time i hit them 3 time 4 back, no be person go tell dem 2 run comot 4 Road. Nonsence

'tis obvious that both d FRSC & d FG has completely run out of ideas. Wat madness!!!

Professor Wole Soyinka is no longer Corps Marshal of the FRSC.

the question should have been why they're not utilizing the radar guns procured for them last year. I guess they're waiting for the 3rd quarter of this year when everyone would have migrated to the new driver licence that's expected to be tied to number plates but this idea of blocking the road to enforce speed limits is still rubbish sha

So a whole Lagos Ibadan Expressway should be single lane on each side? Or what kind of question is this? They made a 3 lane width road a one lane road? How can that be possible? LOL.

me sef tire for some people, how can a 3 lane road possibly be reduced to a single lane ? The rush to criticize blocks out logical reasoning I tell you.

Lol. I think she means the carriageway. I.e dual carriageway, 3 lanes on each carriageway.

What would they do if I came through on a GSXR1000 or Yamaha R1?

So if i overtake them with my Toyota Tundra, 5.7L V8(iForce)engine. HOW WILL THEY PURSUE ME WITH THAT NONSENSE PICKUP PF THEIRS? Waste of their precious time. Expressway has no speed limit as far as i am concerned.

You talk like the average Nigerian, uninformed.

Tope_Fl: What would they do if I came through on a GSXR1000 or Yamaha R1?

the sound of the engine sef go confuse that pick up on the last lane to enter bush... road don open be that

FRSC has simply run out of ideas on how to solve the speed-related road accidents.

Good idea. shows that someone is really not comfortable with the carnage on our roads.

I've experienced it firsthand.
I was traveling with •̸Ϟ•̸y dad in 1998 and all cars couldn't overtake the road safety car as they were cruising on 100km per hour.
You need to see the car buildup.
