Op otvhas little advantage. I remember driving in Kaduna and passing one way intentionally. I was stopped by kastelea and since my number plate reads Lagos I was just blasting English telling them o don't know its a one way and am just passing to chikun area. After the guys looked at me well even though I didn't use military power or anything I was just cold they ended up letting me go and even described the road I know for me


Same won't HV happened if am using Kaduna number

Come & try that in Lagos..

What you explain did not happen because of the Lagos plate... If you had a Rivers or Ogun number they would have still let you go because they though you were a stranger

Unfortunately our society is wack and selfish. One would have expected the NBA or a group of good-spirited lawyer(s) to sue the govt to stop the arbitrary fee (and others).

for your own sake, you should retrieve your number plates if you sell your car. otherwise, accidents , robberies or crimes etc involving your former car can be traced back to you by our men in black

You present your selling receipt or Change of ownership.

Public interest they should do pro bono for.

You will foot the bill for us grin, if I had the wherewithal I could have. Same way someone sued lastma for imposing fines whereas it was established to control traffic not generate revenue.

But shouldn't the civil society, umbrella associations etc take up matters like this. For instance, NBA sued govt to get lawyers off SCUML list.

I have never gotten any SMS.. And my registered number is very correct
This message is sent like this :Your Roadworthiness Certificate (11013505) issued by LASG-VIS on EPE333VV will expire on: 2019-11-03, renew to avoid penalty. To confirm RWC dial *554*38#

I have asked more than 50 vehicle owners with correct phone numbers like mine if they ever got any SMS and not one person did.

Assuming the SMS is sent out, is #200 justified as SMS fee. It is sad commentary when a govt decides to cheat or fleece the populace charging exorbitantly for a service we all know is #4, or do they send up to 50 SMS messages to each vehicle owner.

What moral right does the same govt have to adjudicate and/or sanction any monopoly service provider that cheats the citizenry.

The sms is sent more than 6 times before the document expires as a reminder. It is sent in this format: Your Roadworthiness Certificate (10420702) issued by LASG-VIS on EPE777YY will expire on: 2019-08-23, renew to avoid penalty. To confirm RWC dial *554*38#

I think #60-65k in Lagos. Other States around #10k cheaper if not more.
registration shouldn’t be more than 48k for saloon car, 50k for Suv including third party insurance

Okay, 6times multiplied by #4 is #24 so why charge #200 each for both documents. #400 on over 6million vehicles in Lagos comes to over #2.4billion annually filtered away to private pocket cronies of govt (commercial vehicles Roadworthiness is 6months so they pay twice a year).

Meanwhile, i haven't ever gotten a single SMS for either vehicle License or Certificate of Roadworthiness expiration compulsorily collected by LASG. I want to believe its same for a large chunk of Lagosians.

Banks and Telcos wanted to do same but it was kicked against but Lagos State govt is getting away with it.

LASG started with vehicle license years ago and saw people didn't kick against it, 2019 they added Roadworthiness to make double money.

I just checked now *554*38# and saw they charge #20 to confirm genuineness of a document issued and uploaded by them, with no alternative means like a website to confirm. undecided

It's advantageous if you travel to other states often. Lagos number plates are recognised and respected everywhere. You will earn respect even if u have Lagos number plate in ur home state.

If you have to travel to other states apart from your state of residence with your local number plate police will not let you rest. For example if you travel to Lagos with Ekiti number plate u will see that police will not let u rest.

1. It’s the second hand value advantage and Lagos command respect. Many people prefer Lagos numbers because it boost how people see them when they travel to their places eg the Igbos . When they go home for Xmas they’ll rather travel to the village with a Lagos number than travel to the village with a plate number from eg Bornu or Ondo .

2. Also when people see your plate number they 50% of the time assume that’s where you come from. So if you drive an ekiti plate number in Lagos people will assume you are from ekiti state etc. Koinonia So if you’re to sell you will struggle to sell with ekiti number as many people don’t like to change plate number.

3. Also security. Imagine am trailing or watching your movement, I can tell someone stay here and watch out for a white Toyota with Enugu plate number . That’s pretty easy to get you. But if I say watch out for a Toyota with Lagos number, the person go watch out tire as there are thousands of Toyota with Lagos number.

4. Lagos police most of the time will harass or bully you if from your numbe they know you’re not from Lagos. They assume Lagos people are smarter and crooks. But from your Ebonyi number they think you don’t know a lot. Apostle Joshua Selman

Best answer ever read or heard on this matter. My friend buys cars from the us whenever he is coming back to Nigeria and makes it a point of duty to instruct the clearing agent to get a Lagos plate number even though he doesn't live in Lagos
