Your Ibadan property when are you putting them up for sale

radautoworks:

Tried to tell ya

9icetoo:


Welcome to my world.

I've been hammering on this topic for so long.
Nigerian road users, including pedestrians are so lawless.
They are oblivious and even when they are aware willingly choose to break all road and traffic regulations.
I repeat, including pedestrians.

Sad to see this has cost you your joy in driving.

Frsc, police, Vio etc are all complicit in this rubbish.

Just three days ago, a korope bus tried to overtake me from the right at oyingbo. Our side mirrors collided.
He knocked down a Jay walker who I was avoiding (reason for the space on my right).

Now you won't believe this. A. Frsc officer was there. Right there. I came down from my vehicle to inspect my vehicle and complain to the frsc official.
The idiot opened his mouth and told me to move along. That I was causing obstruction.
That my car wasn't damaged. Therefore I should move along.
The pedestrian who was nearly hit was staring at the frsc officer in disbelief.

I shook my head, entered my car and drove off.
The korope driver turns out to be a nurtw union official and was on a first name basis with the frsc official.

Obviously he gets his kickback at the end of the day from the nurtw personnel.

I have no intention on doing that and in fact I’m increasing them.

eherbal:
a victim I presume?

radautoworks:


Nah, me I already had road rage from Amelica

EgunMogaji2:


Nothing really happened. It’s just a cumulative effect of wanton disregard for rules of driving.

finofaya:


Boss I feel your pain. Driving here has given me this fantasy about becoming the FRSC boss. If I get that job Nigerians go just kill me last last cos they no go fit understand me. I will enforce even lane departure and lack of turn signal with hefty fine and imprisonment. Lack of road worthiness = firing squad. People here drive like everyone else is their enemy from village smh. I've given up on driving with righteousness cos people, commercial bus, keke and bike in particular, go bash you out of spite come begin beg. Now I just consider my time plus panel beater and painter expenses.

EgunMogaji2:


You understand exactly what I’m upset about.

I’m grateful and appreciative that I’m retired and can live almost anywhere in the world. I really don’t have to deal with the nonsense.

It’s the people, not the government.

There is nothing like ignorance here the only deterrence to bad behaviour is law enforcement and punishment.
Let me give you a scenario,imagine what would've happened if buhari insisted on prosecution of Abba Kyari during the MTN bribe saga,speedily tries him and have him jailed?
Then Aisha Buhari's brother steals and is again jailed with d same measures applied to both small and big thieves.
Automatically, both the big thieves and small thieves will sit up,some will even resign and face private business cos govt job will no longer be profitable .
The people abroad who behave well do so because the law has been applied without fear or favour for generations and good behaviour has now become a habit while here,we are getting worse in all forms of corruption and have flouted the law generation to generation without consequences.
Why do the same people who jump queues(both big man and small man)here patiently wait for their turn whenever they are abroad?Because they know "do you know who you are talking to or let me call my brother who is AIG" won't work over.
If govt starts enforcing even the minor rules of driving like lane violation etc everyone will buy and read highway code overnight and behave.

No point. Sell. I'll fulfill your dreams of knocking fathia up in your building with twins

Regards to the bolded.

Who are the law enforcers? Are they not Nigerians?

It is the same Nigerian that breaks the law, another Nigerian is responsible for enforcement but doesn't, another Nigerian is responsible for punishment but doesn't. The circle continues until the whole system breaks down to complete breakdown of law and order which is the situation right now.

ogbuefi677:

Bros,d taxi drivers that behave anyhow in Maraba comport themselves like Catholic seminarians whenever they drive into Abuja proper.Even in busy areas like Wuse market, they comport themselves wella cos police,VIO are at every pole.
That's d power of law enforcement.
I don't need to go on and on about this.

uboma:



The words in bold shows that you are either ignorant of the root causes of the problems or simply living in denial.

Why do you need those in authority/law enforcement to tell you to do the right thing?

Our leaders have their issues but what about you and I? There are things we can choose to do right or choose to do wrongly. Do we need Traffic Wardens to still man traffic lights? Do we need FRSC/VIO/Police to man the roads to ensure that you and I always maintain our lanes, use indicators when trying to overtake the next vehicle, stop tailgating e.t.c?

Travel to Kenya and Rwanda and see that their citizens and visitors are law abiding.

I drive often in Abuja Metropolis and I can tell you that 80% of the drivers here have no idea whatsoever what the basic rules of driving are.

No one maintains their lane. You'll see a vehicle meandering left right center like they're renacting scenes from fast and furious.
Indicators for overtaking. Pftt. Not everyone indicates at turns for starters.

Tailgating is like a sport on these roads. vehicles perched to the fenders of other vehicles at speeds as high as 80km/h is very normal.

And this is Abuja where people are supposedly saner.

Law enforcement officials who're supposed to bring people to book are the most lawless.

I was driving the other day and happened on a roundabout. I'm trying to exit and poof, out of nowhere a bike with two soldiers - no helmet. Had to slam the breaks. These guys didn't even break their stride(read: cruize). Maybe the khaki is some sort of crash suit.

Police men in hilux vans drive like thiefs fleeing a crime scene. They're not going anywhere important.

Soldiers especially when they're in official vehicles basically want traffic to halt when they're passing - even though they're just heading back home to have a nice night with the wifey.

Personally I think this country has already gone to the dogs.
How do you get a license in Nigeria. You pay money. A driving school cert. is forged for you. Your license is delivered. No tests. No assessment of mental and/or physical state. Nothing.
We just need to detonate a nuclear bomb and kill everyone then start afresh with two babies.

adanny01:


You will be surprised that as FRSC boss, you will not bee able to get your own FRSC driver to obey the laws once you turn your back.

The FRSC officers will close from work and drive worst than keke Napep drivers.

I seriously don't blame Buhari for all the silence and acting dumb, that's just the way to make meaningful progress in Nigeria.

Funny but it's the reality.

kingreign:

At first bolded quote, speak for yourself, do not conclude that everyone does it. I DON'T engage in such nastiness. I know better than to engage in such and I obey both written and unwritten traffic laws, I also in know a few numbers of folks who obey traffic laws too.

At second bolded quote, it's rather shameful and disgusting that someone is having such disastrous mindset of annihilation of millions of people for the wrong deeds of many patient and ignorant and stubborn people. Who are you to even think of such nasty sub-human thought and even shamelessly bring it up in social media for the whole world to see. Well, it's clear enough to see that you lack tolerance, you're impatient, you're a totalitarian and have a dictatorial and genocidal mindset.

Spits!

kingreign:

It is not funny and it is NOT the reality.
The realization that alot of wrong doings are going on unchecked daily in the society is a wake up call for YOU and I to dare to make a change. We need self reorientation. Then group reorientation. Social media and main stream media backed by very harsh stringent punishment to ANYBODY who flouts the law without fear or favour irrespective of rank or position or tribe or religion will serve as deterrent to would be crime perpetrators.

What do you expect Buhari to do? Order the police to do their jobs? Order the judiciary to do their jobs? Is Buhari the IG of police or CJN.

Buhari, is not responsible for anyone other than than himself.

EgunMogaji2:
I’m sad to report that Nigeria and her drivers within have taken the joy of driving out of me as far as driving in Nigeria is concerned. I have now resorted to searching for a driver.

That is all.

nurey:


Daddy you are just too funny

I was at ibadan today the nonchalant attitude of those Micra drivers is alarming not to add the disregard of other road users by dangote trucks

with all the madness and craziness I always have one thing at the back of my mind "nurey if they bash your car, who would pay for the fix" as I know the right answer every other road user always have the right of way to me, it's annoying but it keeps my car from getting brushed or damaged ciao

EgunMogaji2:


I’m just done with the lack of respect for the rule of law as regards to driving.

Once Covid travel restrictions are over then I’ll go tour Rwanda and Gambia for a potential relocation. Nigerians are ungovernable.
