After watching the trend at several police checkpoints, I was able to conclude that the Nigeria policemen prefer to stop SUVs… Well, that after the Okadas sha.

I didn’t ponder for too long before 2 reasons came to my mind. I’d like to share them and also get more reasons from you guys in the comment section..

1. Tinted Windows
As we all know, a large chunk of SUVs come with factory tint windows (Privacy Glass). This has made the Men In Black to fall in love with them on Nigerian roads.. Because the drivers may have fake tint permit or may not even have at all. Policemen have been using this tint thing to chop for some time now and I guess it’s not stopping soon.

The only way to escape constant harassment is to have a valid tint permit whether you drive an SUV or a mini car.

2. SUVs Are For Big Men/Women
There is a popular believe that anyone who drives an SUV is rich. What a myth! Anyways, it seems the uniformed men believe there is a higher chance of something dropping from the owners of SUVs. Sometimes, they even chase after you in those Danfo buses they’ve chartered for the day.

So if you are an existing or a potential SUV owner, be ready for a little more taxing depending on the areas you drive to.

Let’s know if you have the same thought and additional reasons.

Just one post from the OP, and it made front-page? The way NL dey do these days taya person.
E be like say na here for Nairaland Buhari dey hide.

Anyway, just yesterday, some Federal SARS guys used their vehicle to double cross one really sleek Benz at Ikeja. In trying to double cross it, they scratched d paint a little. Like 3 of them jumped down with bulletproof vests n all gra-gra.

They came down and saw one young guy at the wheels. They asked him to come down but when he came down, he was a mechanic wearing overalls. He went to look at the dent and looked at it. Thereafter, he used his phone to make a call. Thereafter, he gave the phone to one of the SARS guys.

I don't know who he called, whether it is our father in Heaven or our father in UK, but you needed to see these SARS guys begging. They tried to clean d scratch, but it was still obvious. See SARS dey clean motor with mechanic standing back.

God

They only stop the innocents

Bcus of bribe
Stopping SUV might implicate them
Owner might be too big to question

Are u sure they stop SUVS any how ?

They are scared and not sure of who is inside oo.

Unless they catch u doing something against established laws.

Like making call or something.

For correct Roger

Well they should be prepared to stop me many times soon.

Anything for the boys sir

You can add (3) police like stopping cars driven by young male occupants too

Noted!!!. Thats y i got myself a range

Aleast they are your friend

OP you're so ON POINT!

These fools are fond of trying to peel off my tint to see if its factory fitted or customized. It gets even worse if you're a young man. They'll ignore smaller cars for big brands just cos they feel they can get more money from an SUV owner. I don sabi dem finish, shi-shi I nor dey give!

Oluwajuwonlo provide me with 2 of it

Unnecessary reason though

OkK

lOOOL!!! VERY true!

if you're now driving an SUV or a really nice car and you be young boy, na double dropping.

Legal Criminals

Egunjè

It's all about money . Minding my own business in 2017.

A Nigerian policeman will stop a bicycle. Inasmuch as he feels he can exhort you.

I c

They use tinted glasses as an excuse to stop any SUV driver they want to extort

Ok. It is noted.
