Im yet to see my brother Sadiq mentioning to me the successes recorded so far against the enemies of the state, is it that you are only delighted when calamity strikes?

The subtle and mischievous attempt by some to label any Northerner/Muslim who appears to be a bit conservative with mass appeal as a boko haram apologist by some of you down south reeks of dangerous propaganda and Islamophobia, this was said about Buhari and now Shettima is the next to be tagged as what he is not. I hope some of you wont cry foul when the same energy is returned as served? You can take a Kangaroo out of the forests but you cant take the forests out of Kangaroo.
The hate is well received and noted

What do u mean by a northerner/Muslim who appears a bit Conservative with mass appeal?

Which of the bet? The one I agree with blueraydick, fear catch am for balls. Him beg me to withdraw.

Well, like I said earlier I'm a risk person and I always work with probability.

I know Obi can't win the presidential elections under the current system we have now, but I realized he will win enough bloc votes in the east being his Base ( having observed the impact ethnicity will play in these upcoming election).... So I opted out of the bet cos I wasn't ready to lose my hard earned money to something I don't belive I will win.

Apapa oshodi expressway, same thing - with full fucking high beams in your eyes - okada, keke napep, danfo, trailer and then there are those with one small light so you are not sure if na okada or vonagon until you are up close

people cannot wait. small traffic and they start reversing on highway

It's unfortunate.

You don't know that some people will still claim propaganda even if they watch someone confess about being among the ESN or Biafra group. You will hear comments like he was forced to confess.

Omo, I just weak bro.

It looks like i have lost touch with this Lagos you are describing. People are driving against traffic on highways? I was thinking it was all those side street one way moves.

Bros, it's 6.30am here in Lagos, if u drive on Carter bridge towards Idumota at this very moment u will see buses and keke driving against traffic as u are approaching Idumota. It's something that is crazy enough for one to think about, but then u see it happening everyday.

There's a police Amored personnel Carrier Parked at ẹyin ẹyọ and a police van which is parked somewhere around descending the Carter bridge, yet these don't even deter them from endangering the lives of others on a daily basis. These things happen on a daily basis in Lagos. How do u think Fashola personally arrested drivers driving against traffic, Ambode did same and there are pictures of Sanwoolu on the Internet arresting one-way offenders in this same Lagos at varying times? Lagosians just want to live a lawless life and get away with it.

Greatihex:
Boss, I have said this before, don't mention my name if your post doesn't make sense.

If you have refused to reason probably up till now, then I can't help you.

Your government still has MNK, if they are sure that him or his group are responsible for killings are terror acts what is holding them from convicting him or any member of his group for many years now? This is how a sensible human should reason.

IPOB members are being illegally held in various detention facilities all over the useless country since 2015 till date and some are being tried in the corrupt judiciary of the useless country, yet up till date not a single one has been convicted of any crime, be it treason or terrorism. This is something the evil government will so much love to have done. Yet their manufactured evidences against IPOB can't even win them cases in court. IPOB keep winning them in their own courts and in the international court.

If you had functional brains, you should start thinking.
You don't stay in the east, you probably have never been to the east before, but you are an expert on happenings in the east. Shebi you follow dey drag Donjaazet that time when em dey tell Nihiliist wey dey UK wetin dey happen for UK, now you don know pass people wey dey east who dey kill dem for east.

If you wan know wetin dey happen, come streets for east come ask. Dem go tell you.

All of sudden government wey you accuse of Gaslighting for October 2020, don dey talk true now just because na IPOB dem dey lie against.

You never talk your problem with IPOB. Deal with your own problem and leave other people alone with theirs.

lolz...... Funny guy. So all those people arrested with IPOB insignia and those who confessed to being ESN members on camera are all prisoners of conscience being detained illegally

It is well o.

Segedinho:
I think people applauding the gesture of auctioning vehicles for just relatively lesser crime as one way,are pure evil.

See...if you check well..the people founds guilty,does it for some reasons...ranging from no signs..to emergency.... misdirection....seeing someobe did n went free...........

penalties shouldn't be this severe..like wtf..


i have had some encounters with these set of people in benin


...I drove down to pick a friend close to central park in benin....my legs on break n i just asked one of d uniform guys if it is ideal to pick anyone close cos i was approaching d person in question.....d next i heard is make una enter dis motor...i just told my guy to order bolt that i would take care of these guys.......

4 of them was in my car n i just move them to a "5" junction n park in d middle causing a huge tradfic.....story short d scene was much n they just have to give in after forming nonsense lies.....


see....in "benin"whatever d puwovs says is final in d court....

..they works hand in hand...

in all...these people can confiscate my car with lies that wouldn't actually be verified if not videod

Bros I support the Impounding of vehicles and I'm not evil.

That guy on front page whose vehicle was auctioned for 400k legit passed one-way and he acknowledged it in the news. ( I love his honesty). Go and ask people living in that axis the number of people that have been killed on that road as a result of vehicles passing one-way on that busy route.

Everyday on my way to work I see keke, danfo and LT commercial buses driving one-way on Carter bridge from Idumota towards Iddo ( Lagos Island to Mainland).... You obviously don't know how terrifying it can be driving as early as 6.30am and u see crazy motorists driving towards u on high speed on a bridge simply because they are too lazy/crazy enough to go make a u-turn at ẹyin ẹyọ and drive in their own side of the road that is devoid of traffic.

We are talking about people endangering lives of others here, not jumping red light at traffic junction or some other minor traffic offence.

Maybe if we first look at the gravity of the offence, we will appreciate the government's effort go deter others from being that reckless.

afrodoc2:
What if your friend or family member is the one driving your car?

Nothing u fit do for that case na ; u no fit kill the person.

A friend of mine drove his friend's car and he was involved in accident; it was a write-off! The guy no do am anything cos he was also in the vehicle as at the time of the accident. Funny enough the guy already got a new car and still allows my friend to drive it ocassionally.

raumdeuter:
This morning while driving I thought about it that just as I am driving and I negotiate a bend just see a car speeding towards me wrong way, what will I do? I cant even imagine that type of commotion and confusion


Maybe they assumed the person driving against traffic is not normal and should not be driving a car to start with or even own a car

Lemme ask if the offender is just an employed driver what will happen

Two things are involved :

1. The driver will most likely have his employment terminated by his employers.

2. If the company is aware of the auction they will send their procurement guys to do everything possible to win the bid and buy back the car for the company.

However, if the organization is not a nice one they will send the driver to multiple prisons after he must have served LASG's jail term ; his guarantor too will most likely not be spared by the company.

What does forfeiture of vehicle mean? Impounding to pay a fine or they just sell

These people whose cars were auctioned, Did they give them a fine to pay and they refused to pay before the auction? or just impound and auction straight?

According to what I gathered, not all the offenders are one-way offenders. Those that are one-way offenders have their punishment well spelt out ; one year imprisonment and forfeiture of the vehicle to the government. So the government after prosecuting them for the crime went ahead to auction the forfeited vehicles.

The other offenders whose vehicles were impounded for lesser offences didn't show up for the court case, neither did they pay the fine awarded by the courts after prosecution. So the government auctioned their vehicles as well after they failed to show up within the stipulated time as pronounced by the courts.

afrodoc2:
Hmmm ok o. But how can a sane person be driving against traffic on the highway?

You will.be shocked that so many insane people own cars in Lagos

afrodoc2:
Draconian law IMO.

Personally I believe the government made a show of out of the anguish of offenders losing their vehicles just to deter prospective one-way traffic offenders.

Imagine a vehicle driving against traffic on somewhere like third mainland bridge. One motorist is endangering the lives of hundreds of road users. I believe the punishment matches the gravity of the offence.

[color=royalblue]What makes this tribalism more comical is the fact that

The Yorubas feel they should rally around Tinubu

The Igbos feel they must rally around Obi

And these two tribes are expecting the Northerners to rally around any of them, as if they don't have Atiku there. [/color]

Shebi na wetin I tell Don J that day be this. The election has enough ethnic colouration. I'm Yoruba and I've met quite a handful of Yorubas who stated it clearly that they will vote for Tinubu simply because they are Yorubas and won't vote the somebody from another tribe.

I've seen enough Igbos too who were not interested in the presidential elections up till this year. Some may say they are voting Obi because he is the hope of the common man,but we know by now he will win most ( if not all) southeastern bloc votes.

It's just going to be a case of most people queing behind their tribesmen. Initially I thought this election will be different but it seems it will even get worse this time around with the 3 major tribes having a man on the ballot.

afrodoc2:
Is it legal to be confiscating people’s property because of traffic offences?

Talk about using a gun to kill a mosquito. It makes no sense. Nigerians dey suffer sha.

Unfortunately confiscation vehicles of offenders who drive against traffic is legal in Lagos State. Driving against traffic attarcats imprisonment and forfeiture of the vehicle to the government while other less serious traffic offences attract lesser punishment.

https://www.nairaland.com/7335939/no-sign-indicating-one-way

We.discussed about this sometime ago now; remeber when we talked about Yaba and its environs with so one-way roads. We all agreed Naija is a jungle where the powerful prey on the weak ( In this case the powerful are the traffic officers who work in cahoot with their thugs who probably removed those signs while the weak are road users like me and you)

To be on the safer side one needs to ask people who are familiar with those routes before driving to such places.

The moment u are arrested and Ur vehicle impounded, whichever court u are taken to nobody there will care to know how u ended on the wrong side of the law. Just look at Rufai's case, I'm sure some army officers, navy officers, police officers etc passed that same BRT Lane that very day but nobody cares.....The moment their net caught big fish like Rufai God Don answer their prayer be that.

[color=royalblue]Personally, I think the government should do more in regulating traffic and bad roads.

It's just like unemployment rising, and you are expecting people not to steal.

I spent almost 2 hours plus at Abule ado the other day, because of tankers and containers blocking the road. These Union guys were collecting their monies and people had to wait till they argued and argued before we left. Imagine if I had an emergency. You think I won't pass one way? From Suru Alaba to Mile 2 takes 40 minutes on a bad day...Something that is not up to 2km

Go to Festac, or even Odofa after Agbara. The roads there can pull off your bumper. So I should damage my car and spend money to fix it, when I can pass one way?

The government should give people reasons not to pass one way.

The auctioning part doesn't even make sense. I hope they don't start endangering lives of LASTMA officials with this [/color]

I agree with you that government has to do more about road construction and traffic management. I also know how terrible that Lagos-Badagry expressway can be. I had a personal experience there ; my driver like myself was oblivious of how bad some portions of the road can be on the way to Agbara; we didn't follow other cars to join one-way instead we followed trucks who were maintaining the normal route. Long and short of it, the car got stuck in a bad portion of the road and a truck had to pull it out for us after we parted with cash.

That said, I think most of those who had their cars impounded are those who follow one-way on normal roads like the man whose car was auctioned for 400k. The guy passed one way on Cele-Express. You can tell it's not the issue of bad roads that led him to follow one-way but his impatience with the traffic on that route. That guy could've killed other road users while at it; that's my point. I feel the guy and his mum's pains but I think if auctioning his car would save lives then so be it. The human life is sacred and people should know there are consequences for their actions the moment they put the lives of others in danger by following one-way

Just this morning I saw a video of Gbenga Akoshile (LASG chief press secretary) stopping a man who was obviously driving against traffic on third mainland bridge with his corolla. Imagine following one-way on third mainland bridge . If they Impound his car now we will say the government is wicked but then it's only wickedness also that will make one flow one-way on such route

This is the party of wickedness and poverty una wan elect for center. Nigerians e ronu oh

I do not fancy APC's style of governance either in Lagos and at the federal level , but that being said some Nigerians can be so reckless; passing one-way and endangering the lives of other road users. and I think such people deserve this type of punishment if that is what it takes to have a sane society.

I know our politicians, military personnel and VVIP's break the law by following one-way thereby leaving behind bad examples, but we citizens too have our part to play in obeying the laws. A lot of people have been killed by vehicles (Both private and commercial ones) following one-way.

I remember a personal experience on the day of Chelsea vs Arsenal FA cup final 2020. I was at a friend's place and we went to watch the final at a bar not far from his house. While coming back and joyfully discussing Arsenal's victory, we attempted the cross the road opposite his house after looking well in all directions. A Keke came from nowhere following one-way and hit my friend from behind; it took only a second for me to hold and drag him hand while he was almost going to the floor to be stepped on by an on-coming vehicle. The unfortunate Keke didn't even stop but was looking for an exit route at the next junction. I sprinted up to his postion while he was navigating his way and descended on him with serious Vawulence. Unfortunately for him egbon adugbos wey know my guy and those we don buy drinks before dey junction. I'm damn sure that guy would never pass one-way in his life cos aside from few blows and slaps here and there; he also paid for cost of treating my guy.

These people passing one-way are menace and should be condemned too just like we condemn our wicked politicians. Because of those people I don't even cross normally, rather I look here and there and then still have it at the back of my mind to expect the unexpected from any angle.

The first coup didn't just turn out that way by accident, it as planned that way

See this is an excerpt from Jaja Wachukwus wiki page as an example and tell me this was not a planned job



Jaja Wachukwu offered to resign 12hrs before the coup which Balewa refused,
Wachukwus house was surrounded by the same coupists, The coupists saw him but told him they were there to protect him while the same coupists were gunning down others

In the same vein Azikwe conveniently travelled out of the country and delayed his return

Just like Okpara the Eastern premier was spared because he had a guest with him

Na why I tell Don J say some of these things are old wounds that need to be re-opened if we all want to chart a way forward.

Imagine how children of Akintola, Tafawa Balewa etc and their descendants feel and continue to feel about this one now? Knowing their fathers were killed in a coup that was supposed to clear the rot in the system but some other fathers were spared on the basis of their ethnicity.

Na why everybody gats come out and talk wetin dey pain dem. We know the progrom that happened afterwards is something that claimed innocent lives, but we should always talk about the forerunner to the progrom which obviously is the first coup. Without that, nobody go trust each other

raumdeuter:
There were 4 regional premiers 2 Ibos 2 non Ibos
The 2 non Ibos were killed and the 2 Ibos were spared

The non Ibo Prime Minister was killed, The Ibo President was spared

Of all the serving ministers where we had many Ibos non of them was touched
Actually the coupist saw Jaja Wachukwu and spared him but hunted others down

After the coup failed the next in succession was Zaana Dipcharima but Nwafor Orizu refused to hand over to him but to his kinsman Aguiyi Ironsi

These are the facts of the first coup, make what you want of it

I know these things.

Maybe if the first coup didn't take the turn it did, maybe the major ethnic tribes would Trust each other more than they do now.
