@werepeleri
but to leave his office to arrest people driving against traffic, then, that can only happen in Nigeria.

He didn't leave his office to "arrest people driving against traffic". He was on his way to a function, He just happened to stop when they saw these offenders.

Fashola and his team made the arrests while going to commission a 60-flat housing estate built by the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) at Apapa

LOL - he didnt leave his office? So he sat in his office while arresting the okada people?

Funny.
Re: Fashola Arrests 5 'Okada' Riders For Driving Against Traffic by Nugwax(m): 7:59pm On Nov 26, 2011
The reason he left his office was to attend a function- not to arrest traffic offenders. That's my point.

but u just said he didnt leave his office. Dont confuse people. LOL
Re: Fashola Arrests 5 'Okada' Riders For Driving Against Traffic by EkoIle1: 8:01pm On Nov 26, 2011
You are right, he hurry up and leave office to go arrest as soon as den give am report say okada dey commit traffic offense,

Talk about compounding your failure with weak and comedic attempts,

lmao
Re: Fashola Arrests 5 'Okada' Riders For Driving Against Traffic by BCuZiMBlaCk(m): 8:05pm On Nov 26, 2011
Was he wrong to have arrested those okada riderz?
Re: Fashola Arrests 5 'Okada' Riders For Driving Against Traffic by Nugwax(m): 8:06pm On Nov 26, 2011
Oga, He can choose to leave his office solely for arresting traffic offenders, however from the article quoted here he was on his way elsewhere and that was what I was pointing out. I meant he didn't leave his office for the purpose of going to arrest people I didn't mean that he did not step out of his office before making the arrest. Wait, do I really have to do this explanation or even keep replying to these post?

This fact is and as we've seen on NL, some don't have to make sense, have basses and foundation or have brains before criticizing, they just do it because they have to regardless, this is their state of mind, it's a default way of thinking and this is a prime example.

So you compare burglary and robbery to driving against the traffic?

Hmmmm. No wonder!

You make it worst. Imagine Fashola following the police to burst a robbery gang. He will be too smart to do that.

Quit broadcasting your st.upidity. The picture proof fron Daiquiry ought to have shut you up the first time, but it is obvious that you lack the will-power or common-sense to know when to move on or restrain your diarrhoeic mouth. I wonder what gives you guys the moral right to claim things which obviously belong to other people as your own. I strongly believe you to be a Nigerian, but it is very shameful of you to persistently claim "superiority" of another country over your homeland when the facts right before you show the contrary.

I won't deign you with a reply not to talk of bothering to read any of your posts. You can say whatever you like. It's your runny mouth afterall.

Re: Fashola Arrests 5 'Okada' Riders For Driving Against Traffic by werepeLeri: 7:18am On Nov 27, 2011
You are all simply very ignorant or find it hard to understand the point. It is only in Nigeria that people have to be thought to obey simple traffic rules, up to the point where the head of a state have to scare other intending erring cyclists or motorists by "arresting" a few- if you like, abuse your father or mother, thats your own. The fact that the London Mayor goes with the police to make a robbery or buglary burst is quite different from Fashola arresting cyclists. If you like, say all you want from today till eternity - it doesnt move me, call me a kid, thats your problem, abuse your father, na u get am.

Nigerians are a bunch I have never seen before when it comes to driving and obeying traffic rules, and instead of agreeing to that, you are here yearning dust and abusing your own parents. But then, next time, we want to see Fashola leading the police to burst a burglary - and since we need him before people can start obeying traffic rules, let him become a LASTMA official.

Then shut the F up. Where is anyone claiming anything that belongs to anyone his own? You lack the capacity to understand. Who is claiming superiority of which country above which?

It's appalling to learn that a grown man cannot see the difference between

He did not left his office "to arrest the offenders"

and

He did not leave his office.


Why do people argue like this?

Yes, even people who sell pure water on the streets need to be beheaded! This will send out a clear message to other intending offenders.
/sarcasm

Perhaps beating is a bit harsh, but as for seizing and crushing their bikes / vehicles, I stand by that. As a teenager, I lost my mom to a driver, whow drove on the wrong side of the road, and slammed into my moms car head on. She and her passenger never stood a chance.

So I feel really strongly about anyone driving against traffic, for whatever reason.

Sorry bro.

I have racked my head severally on how to assist the authorities in drumming it into people's head the need to decide to obey traffic rules. My organisation is packaging a sponsored programme to educate folks in Nigeria on the need to obey traffic rules without anyone coercing you into doing so. It is a shame when you see educated people driving against traffic and dont even know the meaning of a Zebra Crossing and so on.

Nigerians are just one stubborn people.

Sorry to hear about your loss, particularly in such circumstance and/or manner

However personal experience or biased sensibilities when not checked fuels excessives that escalates to the point of undignity like the one below

Any initiative to halt lunacy on Nigerian roads is welcomed, and it's a bonus when these initiatives work.

I could observe dat some pple re trying to justify their idiotic and negative opinion. All I can say is, well done 2 Gov Fashola! For emphasis, he did nt leave his office 4 d purpose of arresting okada, he was just on his way 2 commission a project unlike a mayor 4rm anoda country leaving his duty post on purpose to do police job. People should read well before they make stupid comments.

For the question on arresting Police driving against traffic, Fashola had actually arrested a team of police before and dat was during his 1st tenure. Can't provide you a link 2 back that up 'cos I'm not ready for that stress now; I actually read d story 4rm a newspaper long time ago.

I understand. That's why the vehicles of blatant offenders should be destroyed. I'm talking real dangerous driving - driving against traffic, driving on pavements, overtaking on blind bends, running red lights, stop signs and zebra crossings. People's lives are more important than anyone's desire to arrive at their destination in record time.
