Coldie:There is nothing wrong with having to come to a complete halt every 1 kilometer,sometimes the checkpoints being less than 500 meters apart? |

What a shame so the road safety corps has also joined the nigerian police to be extorting motorists? 1 Like |

The level of marginalization of the south east is just too extreme .... The last time I travelled by road I wept for them.... |

Birchi33:Read again, he used the word 'hardly' which is correct. I worked in Yobe state in the heat of the boko haram menace. B/w Potiskum and Damaturu a distance of about 130km, you find only 4 checkpoints at Potiskum outskirts, Damagum,Ngelzerma and outskirts of Damaturu. And it is like that all d way from Yobe to Bauchi to Plateau to Nasarawa to Benue until you get to the boundary b/w Benue and Enugu where you start seeing them every 500meters. I traveled to Kano from Abuja last week it was still the same story of very few checkpoints. 2 Likes |

Coldie:I doubt if you have ever travelled through any of those roads in the east. You will be tired of the journey, it doesn't make any sense at all. Drivers keep matching breaks every 3-5 minutes to settle uniform men before proceeding. If you are not lucky and your driver mistakenly didn't give them what they want, you will stay on that road for as much as they want. To understand what those in the east are facing, try to make a journey from Kaduna to Katsina and compare it with a journey from Enugu to Abia and see the difference. |

Coldie: There so much wrong in your brains if you can't see handwriting on the wall. The fulani controlled security agencies are laying siege on our land in case of any eventuality, knowing fully well that they've mistreated and provoked us in so many ways. The extortion is just to be oiling their waiting machine while the main mission is hidden. |

The cost of traveling from Owerri to Aba before was between #300 and #450, now Owerri to Aba is #1200. I personally counted around 16 checkpoints along the road with the drivers dropping at least 200 at each checkpoint. On my journey to Aba and back last Saturday practically had me weeping for my State. 1 Like |

People should video these criminal police extorting people and post it online to expose this atrocities this evil Nigeria is carrying on in the South East. South East is one of the most peaceful regions if not the peaceful. During GEJ's regime, the police were ask to leave the road, Buhari came a return them. 1 Like

Police behave better is the North. SARS brutality is near absent in the north except Abuja. The worst police are concentrated in the East. When it comes to extortion and bribe collection,where police in the north collects N200, police in the East will ask for N5000. Police are also terrible in the west but the worst are concentrated in Lagos. Travelling to the East from North you will discover that your police troubles start when you start smelling Eastern air. The farthest from North the more wahala. Same on your way back. The more you enter North the better the trouble eases up. That is where you meet smiling police asking you about your trip. In a place like Kano, police is everyone's friend. People don't have problem with police except where you have a brush with the law. But generally police are well behaved. Police on the highway are just looking for bribes to keep them going. Even along Abuja Kaduna-kano road the most they ask is N200 and you can always talk your way out of giving them the money. Like I said no research to back this claim but from personal experience I have no problem with police in the north. Having lived in East and West and always going there on regular basis,I know what people are passing through in the hands of SARS and the police in general. 1 Like |

REMOVE ALL THE MILITARY AND POLICE CHECK POINTS IN THE EAST, PEOPLE WILL COMPLAIN THAT FEDERAL GOVT REMOVED THEM TO ENABLE BOKO HARAM ETC TO HAVE EASY ACCESS TO THE EAST. I TRAVEL 2 TO 3 TIMES TO ANAMBRA FROM ENUGU A WEEK AND KNOWING THAT THOSE SECURITY GUYS ARE EVERY WHERE ALONG THAT ROAD REMOVES EVERY FEAR OF ENCOUNTERING BAD BOYS . |

APOSTLECHUMA: Maybe you are an apostle and you wear cassock, place a CLERGY emblem on your front wind shield and a big Bible on your dashboard. Do you think the way the police passes you as you approach the checkpoint is thesame way they will pass a tricyclist, motorcyclist or taxi driver ? When I was less experienced I commend the police because I was a in a paid job so my ID card alone is what passes me. Police treats a clergy, banker, doctor differently from a trader, hustler, businessman or taxi driver. They see the second set of people I mentioned above as their cashcow. Nobody can speak for them. That is when you will hear things like, "If I shoot you now, nothing will happen". Most of them are daft. Get that.. |
