gulfer: Idiats, so if person sell hin moto and he no get money for another one; na to hang the plate number for neck na

remmer56: Use your brains! Whats up with registration of details of the vehicle.. Like chassis and other numbers.. the reason given based on security is one very nice one..!
abi the same vehicle wan get multiple chassis numbers? they would all be recorded in computers and it could be checked before a fresh registration is done!!!

Acidosis:

Where did you keep your brain, sir?

So the only way to identify a stolen car is the plate number, right?

Two of you have hit the nail on the head.
We are being ruled by a bunch of not just kleptomaniacs but clueless Eediots!

NO WHERE IN THE WHOLE WORLD (and l challenge anyone to show me just one country, not even Agfhanistan!) IS THIS TYPE OF MADNESS PRACTICED!

Its only in NIGERIA-NISTAN that you have blind people leading sighted people!
What would these people not do, just to make a little buck here and there?

*Look at the drivers License that are yapping about, its a chaos and complete failure!
*Look at the National I.D Card scheme? ITS A SCAM of the biggest magnitude (we all read about it in the papers now!)
*Look at the National Census, up till today, we cant even count ourselves. The budget is BIG AND LOOTED!!
*Where is the Voters Register ...or the E-Voting machines they procured for free? Dead on Arrival!
*Where are the computerised record of 'Police Ammunition'? No wonder "accident, dey discharge", everyday!
*Its the same story in any project where the "initiator" stands to make financial benefit!

In countries ruled by people with even a "little sense", this is what happens:

1.) Every NEW CAR is registered on FIRST USE and it maintains that same Registration Number till it is DEAD AND SCRAPPED/CRUSHED.

2.) On first registration, the details are ENTERED on a Computer Database that is "ALWAYS ALIVE" for query, by law enforcement, from anywhere in the "field".!
But we dont even have electricity to power NEPA Offices, talk-less of one database in one Govt Agency like FRSC!

3.) When you register your car "brand new", you are given a Certificate of Ownership (Log Book, in some countries) which contains ALL THE DETAILS of the Vehicle, including the Name and Address of CURRENT owner.

4.) Space is also created below for the name and address of a NEW OWNER to be inserted, when the car is SOLD to another person.

5.) When you sell your car to somebody, (at the point of final payment/transfer of ownership), you will ask the NEW BUYER to fill the space of New Owner "Name and Address" in your presence.

6.) Both of you will "SIGN" it and you (the Seller) must post the Certificate of Ownership (Log Book) to the Licensing Authority IMMEDIATELY to show that the car is no longer yours and no longer your responsibility.

7.) Within 5-working days (at most), the Licensing Authority MUST issue a NEW CERTIFICATE OF OWNERSHIP in the name of the "New Owner" (now the current owner), with another "empty space for any subsequent buyer, if the new owner wishes to sell at a later date.

8.) The number of "previous owners" is also recorded on that certificate of ownership.

But in all these "transparent transactions", the Vehicle Number remains UNALTERED/UNCHANGED, until the end of the car's life.
With the added benefit of "immediate traceability", as l can easily tell the make, model, year of first "use", State or county of first use, e.t.c, just by looking at that Plate Number!

Can anyone, including this clueless FRSC man, and his "P.R. Machines on Nairaland", tell us whether their "new madness" is better than this?
This is what is used in the U.S, U.K, all over Europe, all over Asia, Russia, e.t.c!

We cant even manufacture one single car! ...and that nitwit thinks he is smarter than all this countries combined?

I weep for a country so blessed, yet led by clueless thieves whose only goal is not to "rule well" but to make Policies whose sole goal is to enrich their pockets.

Thunder fire you, Sunday Maku or what do you call yourself!

BTW: I think we Nigerians are just too foolish and docile (pardon my language please), otherwise, we should be protesting and challenging all these shenanigans cum idiotic policies. But them we focus too much attention on tribal insults while the thieves have a field day! Its gonna get worse, me thinks, if we just swallow it.

chinjo:
