Legal

Everything goes.

Since it's a private bus, you're not supposed to pay.

However, you probably have a commercial bus which you're using privately. How?

Did you register the bus yourself? Or you bought it from someone else?

Are your number plates in blue or red?

Yes, its called vehicle registration. You should also renew your road worthiness certificate annually too. Any other fees on a private vehicle is illegal especially if coming from Local Government officials.

I don't understand what Lagos State is turning into. I went to refill my cylinder yesterday and noticed all the shops in that area including a nearby plaza were closed. They said some men from Alausa came and locked all the shops since last two weeks without any explanation even when they pay all the local government and whatnot dues! One thing I noticed is, they only locked shops were they feel are making enough money.

What are you saying?

What you need for any vehicle are

Vehicle license
Road worthiness
Insurance Certificate.

If the vehicle is branded, you pay for advert on it.
It it is commercial, you pay some other statutory fees or comply with some statutory regulations

Do you know the role of VIO?

Stop saying what you don't know

Nigerians!!!! We are so used to free things. We don't want to pay tax but want good roads. Everywhere in the world people pay tax.

It is not illegal it is form of tax!!!!

Some don't even know that you need a license to sell alcohol but these days no one cares as oil money dey everywhere.

Like the poster above me ,its called emblem and its for buses,pick ups,trucks etc even for official car, you can be stop any where in NIGERIA for it.if you go outside lagos mostly to the eastern part you regret the day you bought the vehicle

Doing business or working diligently in Nigeria is also a crime. Local governments have many money extortion schemes and they don't perform any commendable project. Rob peter to feed lazy Paul.

You just mentioned the main reason for their constant harassing of hard-working folks ( REVENUE ), hardly will you see any other bus in their premise only Revenus buses you will find there........ You will wonder what happen to the Education, Health, Social Service etc buses.


The only thing those folk sabi is collecting and sharing money, nothing else..... cool
