true talk, but please when u meet a policeman with tinted eyes just dont bother arguing cos its better to be late late than never.

What are the documents asked for by FRSC, LASTMA, VIO, COUNCIL TOUTS, CUSTOMS etc?

my people how are we today this topic is an eye openner to those that does not know it very well ( including the documents and how the police used to do their things on the road side) the police are rough and trouble shooters, i have them in my family, please be careful with them, brother and sister.

Poster, please remind our political office holders that they swore with the Bible or the Koran to rule us well, but are ruining the country due to bad governance.

before they ask for #20.00 but now their level don change, they now ask for #50.00

WHAT DO YOU CALL A MAN WHO DEMANDS MONEY FROM YOU WITH A GUN IN HIS HAND AND THREATENES TO SHOOT YOU IF YOU DON'T GIVE HIM, AN ARMED ROBBER. I WISH ARMED ROBBERS CAN IDENTIFY THEMSELVES SO THAT WE CAN GIVE THEM THE JOB OF THE POLICE. SINCE THE POLICE HAS CHANGED THEIR OWN JOB DESCIPTION. GO TO JOKES SECTION AND LOOK AT THE DIFFERNT POLICE OF THE WORLD

I just got stopped by a Policeman:

Guess what he asked for: my particulars and I gave him my Proof of ownership, Insurance and my driver's license.

He checked and asked for Roadworthiness: I bluntly told him he has no right to ask for it. As usual he started to rake I just kept my cool and told him he has no right to ask me for that.

He said he would stop a private car that has to show me and he took my papers and left. I feigned anger @ the fact that he wants to waste my time.

I just got out of the car left my car on the road and went straight to him. The guy fear small and asked if I wanted to slap him.

That caught the attention of his oga and after he explained what happened to his oga the oga asked me for my roadworthiness. I just told him that he should take the car to the station I will tell the company lawyer to come and take it.

They just started to use style to pacify me and said the government introduced road worthiness about 3months ago blah blah blah.

I stood my ground and the policeman that has my papers was just looking like a mumu.

When we finished arguing the oga shook me and praised me standing up for my right.

Bottom line make sure you are confident when talking to any policeman. Don't abuse him just let him know you  know what he his talking about and you are ready to go to the station and if necessary to court. Use style check his number and call his name out. If he his wrong and he knows it he will jell.

Mind you I ain't talking about when police check your boot come find plenty money ooooo. That's a different ball game.

For those posters who talk about giving policeman money when he asks for your papers I'll just like to tell you that you are the problem a typical policeman has.

In my several interactions with policemen off duty they are aware of our mentality as a people and they capitalize on that. 75% of road users in Nigeria are not aware of what a policeman should ask for. When he asks for a paper he knows you will no have that is an avenue for him to extort you. Know what you are expected to have and you won't have to grease any palm or beg anyone.

They are out to generate revenue from unsuspecting road users, it is your choice if you fall victim. Don't say you don't know ooooo

Normal slogan, Police is your friend, but reverse is the case, because I have had so many bad encounter with them and I won`t advice you to even argue with them except you have a godfather somewhere, because these people are aimals, for example if an armed robber went and steal a car and the so called police stop the robber at the check point, so once he bribe them with 100 naira he will have his way, so what are we talking about here,

Some people are talking about human right yeah we have it but only in the book to read, our human right is dead since the death of Awolowo.

  'ya right!

but seriously, i believe (hope actually) that there's @ least one person here who's seriously dreaming about providing solutions for the next generation of policemen just like we have great minds doing awesome stuff in the I.T industry.

let's be true to our calling! that's the least we owe humanity while we still have the breathe of life. 

Christmas is here again. We know they will be all over checking and smelling for tokunbo cars. I feel for those that will travelling by road. After dealling with the bad roads they will meet illegal check points on practically every other pole!!!

@poster

i checked the website http://www.nigeriapolice.org/ and noticed the information is no longer there; am sure they realize it was a mistake for them to have it there in the first place. is this not a clear evidence that the police, under the leadership of Inspector general Onovo is not willing to be transparent. the NPF have always been corrupt, they are corrupt and they will continue to be corrupt. may God have mercy on them.

i got stopped one night on a boarded motor cycle. the police man after asking for my identity which i provided, demanded to know what i was carrying in my sling bag and i told him my phones. guess what happened next? he demanded for the reciepts of all 4 phones. can you imargine? even police men themselves dont carry these documents along? is it also impossible for a police man to steal? please help me with this.
