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!

My observation:

Firstly, they are literarily tired; reference to old-recent #EndSars protest, MORALE might be down and attitude to work might not be remarkable.
Based on same, citizens/commuters disregard them and I am believing that they dont want to start their old rubbish any time soon.

Well, on the law breakers, they are the ones to be blamed here and I believe that the barbaric attitude will still be part of their norms by the time our society/system works well, you will cry for many of them in jail...you can take that to the bank

Your name just shows how Moral you are, You are an Hypocrite for criticizing others' fault.

By the way, It's not your Job to prosecute those who aren't law abiding, Your complaint shows you aren't matured enough to ignore the inadequacies of others.

It is not your country Man, The country is for everyone, Better pack your Bags and get back to that overseas you are coming from

We will call you back when lagos gets sane. I don't understand, what happens everyday, you're ranting.

Learn to Ignore Bro, The law will catch up with them in it's course, or better still, become a Policeman.

I learnt recently that there are cameras on some traffic lights. People receive SMS to pay fines or have their cars impounded. Maybe there's none in Lekki or they're not functioning well.

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.
abeg shut up, police in Nigeria are not provided with stun guns, if they give chase and the driver ran into another vehicle, you will still come here to say police causes the accident by chasing the driver. Mtcheeeeeew

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.
danfo driver's are politicians and security agents abi?

It’s a hot temperature climate in Nigeria.

The sun makes Police easily exhausted from long hours of work. The police can’t be fighting all day with drivers who have zoo conditioned brains.

Nigeria vehicular insurance system has to work well.

If a motorist beats red light and gets crushed by vehicles that have right of way; and the crushed bad driver gets nothing from insurance but has to pay for any damages incurred by the driver of the vehicle that crushed the erring driver; thenceforth, drivers shall start to obey traffic lights in Nigeria.


Another way, if the driving license of erring drivers are taken away or made less valid by removal of points from the driving license of the erring drivers, they will start to obey red lights on the roads.

Federal Road Safety Commission is supposed to evolve a system to checkmate the driving license of drivers. Keep 12 points for a valid driving license. Depending on the degree of road traffic offense committed, take away 3, 6, 9 or entire 12 points from the license anytime the driver commits a road traffic offense.

But the Road Safety Commission does little or nothing; the officers are worse than the police. They take huge bribes and leave road traffic offenders go free.

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...


LoL...

Anybody that can drive in Lagos successfully can drive anywhere in the country or even world.

Twice now, I've seen those officers let go of People of ranks scot-free even though, they were caught driving wrong-way while they arrested other people.

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.
