Lagos is overrated jare, these are the places you should try and avoid in Lagos at night. Ketu, Ikorodu, Mushin, Ojota, Fadeyi, Ajah, Jibowu, Mile2, Yabatech Environs, LUTH (serious death trap), Surulere, Orile, Itire and Agege.

What's the Governor doing... They should create a mobile police like other states do. They will Patrol round those areas and carry out their duty.

I feel your pain bro but trust me you will recover and get over it. Even getting a better car than the one stolen. Just keep up the hustle.

Let me motivate you a little, I returned back to the country in 2011 and invested about 5m in a business a friend advised me to key into. This friend ( we schooled together at Uniben years back) took my money and left the country. 5m in 2011 was big money I was depressed for sometime but made that loss 2 times over some months later. When sad stuff happens we feel there is no hope to get out of the dark but believe me the sky gets darkest just before dawn. Hang on bro.


grin
Don't just motivate people. Tell them how you did again thrice after losing the initial.

But they are not eating the rich, rather theybare eating the poor and the middle class that is almost at extinction. When they start eating the rich, Nigeria will be okay, trust me.

u are very funny. Do u think *they* would be able to identify the RICH?

The word called RICH is RELATIVE.

Pls don't remind me of that zone. They are so much in those areas Lekki, Ajah roads are one chance roads

And everyday Sanwo-Olu is being hyped for his THEME agenda.
Lagos state needs to wake up. Concentrating the security architecture on the city centres alone will not give sanwolu his due credit, unlike fashola.

I was in a police station today to get an incident report for my accidented car, i was a bit early and had to wait till the DTO'S section was available.

While waiting i saw a familiar face , at first we didn't recognise each other because of the facemasks , but i needed fresh air and i was alone under the mango tree and took it off, that's when he recognised me.

We greeted and he informed me he came to make a report of his car that was stolen at gun point, he also mentioned that as he was there several cases of vehicles stolen at gun point had also been reported same today.

Crime is at an all time high and every one should pay close attention to personal safety and security.

Have your vehicle insured comprehensively at the prevailing replacement cost (not the Nigerian used value)

Ensure you have a tracker installed , and ensure you have a third party than can you can always call ( memorised number ) that can track and disable vehicle .

Do not stay out late with easy to sell car brands (Toyota's, lexus)

If for any reason there is an attempt to take your vehicle do not resist, it's just a car, your life is more valuable.

Most of the cars stolen had lone occupants, so it's safe to say there is safety in numbers.



May God help us all.[/color]

Some people are morons without knowing... Your useless master is in Abuja chewing gworo while the youths were being shot at by your useless SARS and you expect them not to protest fa?

And to sabotage the protest, your same useless master gave the order from above to your useless governors to sabotage the protest at all cost and this is the effect. We know the story sister so please be calming down and don't dare quote me with that your 2 kilobyte brain again

It is only by the special Grace of God that Nigeria has not yet fallen into an extreme state of anarchy. A foreigner once remarked that it is amazing that you can still walk or drive around in relative safety in a country where there is extreme hunger, lack and hopelessness for a vast majority of its citizenry. "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich". The word rich is relative and refers to anyone that has something that someone else does not have. Could be a loaf of bread, a pair of shoes a keke or a car. May God help us all!


Nigerians don’t lack food. Crime in Nigeria isn’t fuelled by poverty. Crime in Nigeria is fuelled by flawed policing, judiciary and absent State generally of which porous border and indifferent immigration are but two of many symptoms.

What is Nigeria's prison population?

In 2016, 2.2 million Americans incarcerated,

Tiny Uk has more people in jail than Nigeria. Nigeria’s criminals are walking the streets. Look to this more than poverty for your high crime rate. After the Leki Riots, prison population is even lower than the lies Nigeria probably told about her official prison population wich was probably lower than given since Nigeria lacks prison holding capacity.

Do u think installing GPS tracker can help in this modern technology ? GPS tracker s just 50% saver because guys now know how to disable a car with GPS tracker no matter how u install it. Just prayer and reduce driving in the night.that's my opinion.
Don't just put all ur hope on GPS tracker to help track or stop the car, this thief will just burn ur car or even reck it.

Exactly. Lekki Ajah roads have been a nightmare. Danger zone for kidnapping, one chance n other criminal activities. If I'm not going with my car, I don't dare that axis
