Yesterday in Lekki, I saw upwards of 10 cars running a certain RED light at around Jakande area while I was waiting my light to turn GREEN.

What made this especially painful is that there was a squad of police right besides the traffic light. What were they doing? They were just sitting down and gisting on their pickup.

Can you imagine? In what other country will people run red lights right in front of police and the police will just be laughing with Ak47s in their hands? and it wasn't just one car, but multiple cars totally disregarding their RED lights.

Are we so primitive that we are now totally averse to Law and Order in this land? That the police won't even make an attempt to maintain traffic rules unless at their own convenience? Unless traffic is at a standstill via checkpoints? is that they only time police would do traffic work?

Imagine how dangerous it is to be driving with confidence because the light in front of you has turned GREEN, not knowing that a MANIAC is about to smash into you because he ran his RED light and worse still police doesn't give a flying fvk

I would have taken a picture and posted here, it was such a disgusting sight as some of the cars that ran red lights drove right past the police squad.

How can we have such a useless police squad that can't even GIVE CHASE? What good is a police squad if all they do is park their car at a junction and gist inside?

What good is that?

Oh my Nigeria...


God helps us!

Is like you just came to Lagos

bro, I was born and bred in Lagos, but also lived outside Nigeria for a while

It's just frustrating seeing laws broken and broken and broken and the enforcers just sitting down, literally.

I have no where else to voice out my complaints, it's just sad bro.

Do you know how many times someone has almost crushed me because they ran their red light as mine was green and they will just be laughing, I guess they know that there is no punishment whatsoever for their crimes, so they might as well laugh as they put everyone else in danger.

Some will even run through the RED light with GREAT speeds that you'd think their lights were green.

Accidents that could be easily avoided.

If the police had dealt with them you will be d wan that will kill police and shout end police

Its not new to me sha, I see this impatient Danfos bypass Red light mostly, at VGC traffic light.

The don't have to shot them though.

Why go from zero enforcement all the way to draconian punishment?

What I'm saying is just be like a half decent country, just a half decent country, chai.

A half decent country with a police force that GIVES CHASE, PULLS PEOPLE OVER, WRITES TICKETS, IMPOUNDS VEHICLES, VERIFIES LICENSES ON THE SPOT...

Not a police force that either does nothing, or goes right to the extreme to shot people due to their laziness...

and they can shoot stubborn drivers that don't want to take a ticket with a STUN GUN, which every police officer in Nigeria should have at this point if we were a half decent country.

Oh my gosh, EXACTLY! So you know!

We can try to overlook it, but how many things will we overlook in this country?

Give Chase

When they crush innocent citizens, na you go still shout #EndPoliceBrutality.

Now, they're sitting in their van, minding their business, you're still not happy.

I don't blame them. If they enforce, you pipo will still be the ones to come on social media to shout #end¶oliceButality. We must show the government that power belongs to the people..yen yen yen

God bless you. E be like say na the same mind we get. Don't mind these hypocrites

The main problem with Nigeria is not the absence of good laws.. it is the unwillingness of the government and her institutions to vigorously enforce her laws. . What you noticed can only happen in Nigeria. It's in Nigeria that a man might commit murder, get arrested by the police, but still manage to get "bail" and subsequently evade justice! Many violent criminals get arrested and released at will in this country, so much so they become career criminals, aware that irrespective of their heineous crimes, they will still find a way to manipulate a broken system to wriggle out of jail if nabbed! And that's why crimes are high! The realisation that purnishment will NEVER be severe will always embolden vicious characters willing to take to crime..

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, ARE TRAFFIC OFFENDERS SHOT IN OTHER COUNTRIES.. let's be reasoning abeg

Pinshures or....

... You haven't stop for a red traffic light and patiently expecting it to turn green for almost an hour before realizing it that it's malfunctioning... One day you gonna be in that situation, what will you do.... Jump the light or wait....
Actually it's not good to disobey the traffic light.. But in this country, many things are crazy...

O.k I understand what you are saying
Dis ur moniker get as he b

Police do not know how to enforce laws peaceful. It is better they do nothing. Don't be surprised those drivers disobeying traffic laws are security agents or politicians.
Nigeria will remain a lawless nation until security agents, politicians and people in upper class start behaving well.

During the era of Gov. Fashola, no one dares try nonsense but immediately Ambode took over, he scattered everything and the current governor his even burning everything.

Wish we can bring back Fashola.

The lights I am referring to were not malfunctioning though.

It was clear for all road users to see that the lights were cycling normally.

in UAE running a red light cost 4000 AED which is 400k in naija. car will go to jail for 1 month. cameras do the work

#nothinggoodwillcomefromthedesert.

Some Lagosians/Nigerians are the most stubborn people on the face of earth.
They are preventing and protecting people from dying, but some heady and stubborn animals are here putting people's life in jeopardy.
Be the CHANGE you wanna see... periodt!

Munzy14:

Hypocrite!

If you own a car, and u have never used one way before in Nigeria, pick the pebble and stone the man.

Acting like say u holy pass online... Smh

We know you have been so used to breaking laws offline and online.
Breaking laws is now a norm to you and here you are justifying foolishness and incredulity.
Not everyone is like you, you know.
But continue, dem no dey telli person.
One day na one day......

Lower class people nko, dem no dey break laws?

Next time, just say EVERY NIGERIAN , both upper and lower class should BE THE CHANGE that they want.
Simple Stuffs.
Call a spade a spade and not an Agricultural instrument.....okay?

No be so SilverNorGold?

KNow this right. As far as Nigerian police will not benefit in the case. They won’t stress thereself.

When LASTMA was impounding vehicles some weeks ago an EndSars activist was calling LASG thieves. This Lagos na strong hand we need. That's why I miss BRF, law enforcement during his tenure was far better with heavier fines...

Where is lasma

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Are you just realizing by that Nigeria is a lawless country? A country where it's president broke the Covid19 protocol check signed into law.

To successfully live in Nigeria, one must occasionally display lawlessness, if not " pant go wear you"

It's only in Lagos you will see police, lastma, army, traffic light all controlling and directing traffic at the same time in the same junction.

I have seen police arresting drivers for passing through when the traffic light shows green, the driver offense was that the police has not asked the vehicle to move! Irrespective of what the traffic sunlight says....

Driving in Lagos should be considered extreme sports...

Lawlessness.
