Most Lagos traffic problem are caused by lawless drivers. Lagos drivers have to be the worst in the world.

Especially danfo drivers, government should regulate or scrap them.
Danfo drivers should be retrained, and used to run mass transit modern bus transport systems. too many buses on the road, plus the drivers are crazy.

DenreleDave:
Haa

This is rubbish.. How can the govt sell sumone car when he is not dead...

This news shud be fake..

Was the owner compensated or he got nothing?

Traffic offense, fine.. But no govt has the right to auction someone's car....

Bcox I disobey traffic law, one govt go kon sell my car... We die there

The law is the law, if you die, you die. You should see how some motorists flout traffic laws, using one way on expressway in Lagos, did you notice the crazy hold up one way driving caused in Lagos recently?
law and order must be restored with iron fist. No sane driver will do what will make government impound their cars, the mad ones must be taught a lesson. All over the world, cars are impounded if you break the law that warrants it. In the UK they stop drivers on highway early morning and night at traffic police stops, to check alcohol breath tests. Its about saving lives on the highway and taking mad drivers offthe road.

...

Cars are impounded worldwide.

mumu girl.

Bad roads everwhere, local government chairmen, what are you people doing with allocations

The selection process is always partisan politics, they will select their sons, nephews, kids and friends.

Evil student union politics,they are serving their friends, they are all cultists in that SUG. nonsense.

We need strong institutions, let us separate politicians from institutions. APC is not a performing party, they are self serving, and unfit to govern Nigeria. Do not vote for APC president pls.

Harrysimon:
are you saying the massacre was in the best interest or what?

It was not a massacre, massacre is when you go somewhere with the intention of killing scores...check the meaning of massacre
massacre
/ˈmasəkə/
noun
an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of many people.

In this case only one or two confirmed dead, perhaps by shrapnel, blunt force trauma etc, the intention, i believe is to clear the toll, that was why they were shooting to the skies metres before they approached where the protesters blocked the road...it is not a massacre, this is disinformation by CNN, i know people on scene that day. Watch the video, when the army got to the protesters, they stopped and were shooting to the skies, if they wanted to shoot to kill, they will not need to get so close to them. let us talk objectively, and stop this crowd mentality.

Sunnyja:
Where did you now get your own videos from?! Lai Muhammed said the videos in circulation were sourced from social media.

Even CNN is using same social media news and views, CNN is a news station and they thrive on sensationalism, this is their business, most of the views they are using is from social media, twitter and facebook, CNN had no reporter on scene that day...CNN destroyed Libya with propaganda, CNN destroyed Syria with their biased reporting, they have thier own interest. The video everyone saw is clear, the army was firing up, to disperse the crowds, any reasonable person seeing the army approaching should have left the scene...what do you want to confront the army for, you are blocking highway, other road users are complaining, no be only you get rights.

TheGift:
Where you expecting things to change overnight?

This is arguably the most successful protest in Nigeria's recent history.

1. The peaceful protesters stood their ground until the government was forced to show their hand full of incompetence and impunity, thereby proving the reason for the protests.

2. SARS has been scrapped

3. CSP James Nwafor the monster overseeing the dreaeded Akwuzu SARS is on the run

4. The Nigerians in Diaspora have been galvanized to fight for Nigeria from outside

5. The Judicial Panel of inquiry is giving many people the opportunity to tell their stories of horror and death in the hands of SARS

6. The Nigerian people, especially the youth have found their voice and they are not cowardly backing down like previous generations

7. The reality of howc@#$%&+/ the m governance is in Nigeria and our very dire situation has been made clear.

8. Nigerians have been organizing relentlessly to ensure that peaceful protesters unjustly arrested and detained during the protests are released, even in the face of impunity. No one is even calking @segalink for that.


9. The UK is having a public hearing on the matter targeted at sanctioning individual leaders who are found wanting.


10. Police Salaries have been increased

11. Nigerian leaders are now living with greater fear of the people

12. Buhari finally came out to read a speech to His people, even though many of us in the end felt it may have been better if He didn't say anything. At least it became clear that we were on our own till 2023.

I can give 12 more reasons why the protest was a success, but let me stop here.

P. S. Those poor souls will only die for nothing if those of us alive say they died for nothing. As for me, their deaths will not be in vain. Say Amen

These young kids are dumb, they forget that things take a bit of time, they seem to be unable to separate the institutions from the politicians and crooks. Most of them are wayward, have no stake in the polity, hence wants it to burn. Acts of lawlessness and wanton violence, must be dealt with decisively, rogues and vagabonds can not determine how we live. Good post bro, we must keep pushing the common sense narrative, cos most of these kids have no basic tuition, training or knowledge of history and things.

DamZik:
A bigger protest is coming come Dec 1. Get ready!APC zombies, check your brain and conscience. Stop being insane and irrational because of crumbs that fall from Polithiefcians' table. Can Femi Adesina pay you what he is paying his own children? Yenefer (helinues crimes)

Big lie, na demo, you be keypad warrior...

willzy0909:
So, if I may ask, where are these applicants supposed to carry out their agro business after the training?
The Lagos State I know is congested with houses. No one will choose agriculture in his empty plot against building an office complex or residential storey building on it. Knowing that real estate is the next thing after crude oil in lagos.

They are lands for it.

Teknoteableblog:
Shame on you! We'll soon be back on the streets.

I bet you are an instigator, hiding behind your keypad, i bet you were not on scene when the protests was turning to riots...keypad instigator.

The question is hilarious,they were called to clear the tollgate so users can get access,very dumb question. Though the government could have used other means to clear the highway for other users, cos indeed there were millions of Lagosians who were barred from using the highway and expressways due to the protesters blocking the road, and the government must ensure rights of all, not just a section. Take your protests to where they are, stop blocking roads, and jeopardising livelihoods, and businesses of Nigerians. next protest, do not block roads, if you want masses support, blocking roads will quickly lead to confrontations and violence, let us stop acting naive, one thing leads to another...ignorance is no excuse under the LAW.

This woman should stop getting high off some cheap ish, she is a real disgrace.

legalize legitimate gun ownership, for self preservation.

ipobarethieves:
Kill any CRIMINALS.They are USELESS to their parents

Useless to society, country and nature...only good as manure.

Pay the police well, and sack the weaklings, how can you be afraid, when you are trained, armed with AK 47 rifle, the police needs to employ more tactics, these hungry robbers attacking commuters are not smart, and they mainly know each other, and police knows where hoodkums reside, comb the ghettos across Lagos, visit them when they are resting, attack them when they are drinking in their beer parlours, burst them when they are resting with their whores, do not let them rest. infiltrate the ghettos with undercover cops, use locals as intelligence, and do proper investigation. The police command should arm police on patrols with bullet proof helmets and body vest, let them eat well, motivated for their job. These robbers are dumb, the police just need to be more tactical, and have more high calibre fire power.

drop your email, i need a mature lady.

nonsense.

After effects of crisis and violence.

Mr Lawan, as the leader in the house of reps representing the people, such an utterance is very wrong, and misrepresents democratic principles. You are there to represent the people, and put pressure on the executive, there to checkmate the executive, not to become rubber stamp house, this is unfair, and it is shameful that we allow partisan party interests and pocket interest, override the interest of the people you are there to serve. The people own the commonwealth, we have a right to demand for a reduction in the bogus payments our workers entitled themselves to. Nigeria is not rich because of too much being spent on salaries, allowances and other bogus entitlements and payments you subscribed to yourselves. It is very wrong for any entity, company or country to use 75% of its total revenue to pay salaries, and off the remaining 25%, maybe only 15% is actually used on actual capital projects, due to kick backs, corruption etc...such a country will keep borrowing till eternity, unless productivity is boosted.

Karma dey hunt these people, Nigerian politicians read the signs on the wall, amend the constitution, reduce cost of governance, you people can not be rich, while the country is poor.

I did not see any benefit of this deal to Nigerians...will it lead to reduction in fuel prices?

Sounds fake, do not believe all you hear...CNN should know better than calling it a massacre...they should check the meaning of that word.

A woman should be humble, especially with your husband's siblings. A proud woman will end up sad, no matter the material possessions she sorounds herself with...always knew it was a woman behind their problems.

The truth is hard to chew, no wonder scientists arrived at the conclusion, that we are simply a product of evolution...matter.

AlhajiNatty:
I hope we don't hear an accidental discharge story from all this.
But civil unrest such as this has no business getting the army involved. What are the Police for?

stop talking nonsense, if the police can handle it, do you think the army will be there, una no know wetin una want.

The West do not love us, only we can help ourselves.
Please no sell out your nation cos of asylum, no turn Nigeria to Lubya, America, UK are not our friends, they are just using us.for benefit, stay in your Canada, but no destroy Nigeria with your mouth.

Why are they still screaming endsars, it has ended.
