If the map asks you to go through Epe, you might be tempted NOT TO because of bad roads. But my advice is: If it says go through Epe, please do. The roads are not as bad as I thought. Two Saturdays ago, I left Ajah by 7am. Map said I should go through Epe, I declined. I got to Ibadan by 4pm. I regretted my decision that day.

Haha... The truth is the Epe Ijebu route is the shortest distance to IB when compared to the Epe-Lagos Ibadan Expr road. The later is under serious construction, 1st the Berger to Mowe Ibafo axis and then another phase some KM after the diversion to Lagos Ore road... That phase is the most dreaded phase that can delay one for hours due to serious construction.

If you'd use the Epe route once you'd gotten to ijebu off bridge you just link it straight down to IB and within 30min or there about you would've arrived at your destination.

But most times the fear of the unknown (bad road) is the beginning of wisdom

Though my last trip to IB I used the Lagos IB route and I returned same day getting home by 10pm.

Every alleged criminal has right to defend self in court, I'm only saying, while defending urself, be truthful to the court, so the court won't add extra punishment for deceiving.

The law is a beautiful thing that shape our society, if law breakers are not punish more crime will be committed, you can imagine if there is no one way traffic law.

During #endsars protest, 3rd mainland bridge, car where facing each other on the same lane on high speed, just because no one is there to enforce the law.

Stop been emotional, obey the law and have peace of mind.

You speak the truth but also try to balance it most times when you make your summits. Forfuitment of vehicle can be equated to capital punishment for criminal act that's my point. It's not a reasonable punishment.

So don't attribute it to emoticons.

What they gave to him is not a receipt, but referral, like they r ready to pick a case with him. It's either there is a misunderstanding somewhere, lagos state is takin one way offence so serious now, almost like they prefer to impound the car to cash.

Chinyce self is not even saying anything... Weather na one way him follow or not. Anyways, I've shared my knowledge free for the benefit of all. So I rest my case.

almsofgold:
presently there. Told I will be billed over 8k as against the 2.5k.
Nice food at the jamrock though . Yet to get the diagnosis.
Hope they get to the root of the problem.

Many are beginning to eat from the forbidden pot.

Enjoy yourself bro.

jpworld:
See mr, the law is the law, when u obey the law of the land, you will be at peace. Stop this emotional blackmail, i didn't ask him to drive one way.

How much is the stupid car that Sanwo olu want to use in recouping money for Lagos, who told you Lagos is broke?

If you disobey the law, you face the consequences.

What law are you talking about? Is it the dracula law and kangaroo court created by tyrants like you and blood sucking demons to further create hardship to Nigerians?

I understand the law is the law but no matter the law or the case maybe it can still be contested in a court of law. Abi you never see where a murderer was discharge and acquitted for a clear murder case b4? I've seen 2 cases...

Dont worry... Continue a day of reckoning is coming for every evil dead.

davit:
The reality out here is that drivers, especially ehailing ones, should try to obey every traffic law this season. Lastma, police are targeting us now with the dashboards flying upandan. Guys try to follow every rule. No go do like me to follow others do wrong thing. No illegal turning. No 1 way. Seat belt. Just follow all. Avoid wahala this season. Peace.

In addition don't do reverse on express road or 9n a bridge... I'm still trying to to find out the exact meter reverse is permit on an express road.

If anyone has that information please educate us.

That us the reason you see. Lasma don't take pictures when somebody is making reverse instead they take videos and once a particular distance is attained they go afyer the driver to arrest. So if you have missed a turn and the only option is reverse pls dont do the reverse once it has exceed maybe 500m or 1km.

pope191:
Boss if they write ticket, do d receiver affirm to collecting the ticket or is there a way to justify that they have given him any ticket, just a learning process here. If my questions return as no, then he's yet to see any ticket, deh honestly did not give me anything.

He should follow my part2 explanation then never admit ticket was given to him. But if he has already gone to that canopy office he should then follow the 1st part which d due process because no body would be able to assist him again unless a lawyer as explained.

I speak from experience.

Boss just chill, some tin tells me madam rad is going to bless pope191 with one gold colour 2004 Toyota coro, I don't know if it's toks or new, but it's a Toyota coro.

Dreaming

Kanoski:
Dear pilots
Is a tokumbo car really worth the price tag as I am planning to get one soon and also with the current foreign exchange market rate, and also going through the stress of registration and the necessary paper work.
How long will an average tokumbo take before it starts developing major faults and needing repairs from wear and tear.
What are the benefits of buying a tokumbo over a well maintained naija used car
And lastly, are tokumbo cars really buy and drive?, are they problem free as the are expected to be?, did you spend and any money on any fix after driving off the car stand?.
Thanks in advance for your help and contributions

My brother I can say it categorically from experience on the field and as an engineer with field experience as well... There is no 100% assurance on any automobile. Even tear rubber cars do have "errors" it could range from factory, mechanical, design, or any kind of error. So no 100% guarantee on any thing weather it is brand new, tokunbo or 9ja used.

On tokunbo, this is my take. I've been privilege enough to have used 3 tokunbo cars for ehailing.
First was a corolla, I think i was the either d 2nd or 3rd driver... The 1st week I started with the car I noticed problem and I got to understand the car was accidented. The problem with most Tok are dealers. And the only person I can recommended to anyone to buy a car from is my former boss in the person of Dru23.

I learnt some business integrity during my partnership with him. What he does is this. I will explain by sharing an experience.

There was a car (big daddy) his manager asked me to deliver to sb. As the car arrived, my Oga called his mechanic (Bishop) to check for any possible issue that might be on the car...he fix everything... I personally bought tires and fix on the car... He day car serviced with mobile 1 oil, washed, madam filled up the tank and car was delivered to the person. I was just wondering in my mind. To what end madam?! Shey Oga sabi dis person or abi na him family person?
Ha! Na so Oga dey do him tins ooh... Madam replied.

In a nut shell, most dealers are only out to make profit while some are out to make build a good reputation.

So most problems with toks are dealers, they're not sincere. A car came accidented fix it b4 putting it on stand, then be sincere to explain to any interested buyer how and how far you've gone with it. But for rhe sake of business which i understand though... Thats why me as I person I think I can be a successful trader because its not for sincere people

The 2nd.l too I used came with issues which I'm aware took if I'm correct almost 200k or more from my boss to fix to standard and some minor issues still persisted till...

My madam before she sold her personal car she changed two doors, painted the car and still sold at the same price.

The car I'm using presently, same issue car cane with from abroad is what we are still battling out...

Lastly, if you're lucky to get a good tok, trust me you start having one or two issues after 6-12months provided car is used for transportation but if its for private use probably 2-3yrs if you're sb with good maintenance culture 4-5yrs. But for transportation? Max is 12months.

As for 9ja used it depends, if car was company own, used and maintained. But if you buy from a poor man my brother there two things involve oooh...its either the car kills you or you kill the car
If the car kills you, you're save
But if you kill the car there also two things involve.

Dont ask me

Felicity0001:
@ chinyce and to all that may want to be educated in this matter...

Like I stated most Tuesday and Wednesdays r my rest days so I took out time to educate myself well again in traffic offences and procedures. This the due and legal process.

1) the most grievous traffic offence now in LGS is a 1-Way offense. If you're caught they impound your vehicle then direct you to the oshodi HQ.

2) Your plate number would have been sent there for registry, depending in those that arrested but I'll focus on taskforce because from my understanding theirs can be easy(they're police officials) but if na Lasma I dont know their own procedure but which ever the case may be its same process.

3) when you get there you'll then proceed to an office (under one canopy outside) where your registration number had already been received, that is where your mobile court paper will be served... I don't know the content of this paper because my friend went through the back door so he didn't go through the due process but I made sure I did my proper and authentic findings and I even entered the court room where I witness how a few judgment was ruled.

I witness how a woman and one other man lost her vehicle to LGS and also witness and heard testimonies on how some peoples' won their case and got their cars back without paying a dine by pleading "not guilty"

4) You tyen proceed to the mobile court and when you're being called upon with you're charges read to you, prosecutor will then ask "guilty or not guilty"?
i) if you plea guilty my brothers forget it that car done go with possible imprisonment to the driver.
ii) if you plead not guilty then the magistrate will immediately adjourned the case tuen ask the prosecutor to provide evidence.

This is where the legal proceeds will then start. So if in the day of adjournment come and the prosecutor fails to provide thankgable evidence to convince the magistrate then the magistrate will rule out the case in favour accordingly but if they provide evidence and you have a good lawyer to counter and also convince thw magistrate, great! The case might also be adjourned depending on how convince the magistrate is till final ruling.

So this is the due process.

Part 2:

Through thw backdoor

Now, if youre caught on any of the traffic offence, step 1 and 2 is the norms...

Don't ever go to that canopy or think of proceeding to court.
There's a canteen in the compound just go there and seat inside, if you can buy food and eat or contact GAZZUZZ logistics to get you a plate of Jamaican rice with chicken from mama radautoworks b4 your order must have arrived if you're smart you must have Atikulated(code) the nigerian factor. If you still haven't been able to, when your order arrives open it, get a bottle of coka-cola and start[b] eating your food with your two eyes on your food without your head up[/b] don't ask me why I'm very very sure b4 you'd finished eating somebody would have approach you.

From there you'll be told what and what to do.

But be ready to spend at least N150,000. This fee doesn't include the money you'll be paying at the yard your car is being parked oh.

So @ chinyce... If you know its a 1-Way offense you have kindly choose which one best suit you. I can't drop number here else I would have sent you one or two persons that can assist you and guild you through the process but go prepare. But if you're very sure it's phone call offense you have but they changed it for you, guy go through the normal process and get a lawyer because they wont be able to provide any convincing evident against you in court. Any other evidence other than the one way is null and void so magistrate will strike out the case then discharge it and even you can fill for charges because you can say you didn't commit any offense.

The ball is at your court. Choose which path you go.

Good luck!!

NaijaCr7:
Bro zooming the attached fine ticket the offence indicated is one way, you are not suppose to accept such ticket and that is where you would have made video indicating they write your proper offence on your ticket or take you to court

jpworld:
Wrong way to go,

if the video is shot while you're driving one way and you're claiming doctored, that magistrate will get infuriated and might add additional sentence for deceiving the court.

chinyce if you drive one way and lastma has evidence against you, is better you plead guilty.

If the vehicle is to be auction, then you go through the back door and bid in the auction through proxy and win back your vehicle.

Goodluck

Oke how would you give a man who is struggling such and ill advice? because the incompetent Sanwo Olu's government that ordered the killing of peaceful protesters is looking for over 4.3trillion Naira to recoup her lose so she has to put laws in place on forfuitment of people's properties and source of livelihood and you support the motion?

What kind of a human are you, how do you sleep, with your two eyes close? Don't you have a heart of human? Have you truly suffered b4? Mr. Okeke I'm dazed at your sense of reasoning and only pray for God to have mercy on you.

Further more, I'll begin to fear you henceforth, because its obvious you dont fear God and lile the popular saying, "fear him who don't fear God"

See this number above, call him, explain everything to him the way it happened. He is the Oga of Lastma, it will be better if you know the name of the officer that arrested you for proper identification.

I listened to a radio show last Monday of how he helped someone collect back his 22k paid to lastma unjustly. what the offended did was after paying, he called the man and narrated everything to him, the man requested he send screenshots of the alerts and any other evidence he has on WhatsApp. He did and in 2hours time he was called by the Man to send details. He received 22k credit back to his account. I would have loved to follow this up, but I will need thorough detail. But this one you're saying is your friend and not you., Tojahh no come sabi how him go put leg for the matter.

Twalle baba I salute your benevolence Sir.

pope191:
@Chinye just as sharpk007 said, if they don't have anything as evidence, esp video, then he should push for court and even deny making call

Picture or video evidence can even be countered in court as being doctored.

Get a lawyer and follow the due process shikina

Bros brace up you're not the only person passing through that path, many have gone through it b4 and many are currently going through... The good news is you'll come out of it alive and stronger provided you don't give in to depression.

I understand this is a trying time for you and your family. Try as much as you can to avoid quarrel with your wife because that's one fast and next way the devil would want to stop you next breakthrough. Bros I've been there b4... I understand... Things are getting better now.

May God's favour locate you! Amen!

Modified: I dont know your faith but this is the time you need to get closer to either your pastor/imam for serious spiritual council and prayers. It helped me and still helping me till date.

chinyce:
Making call while driving. Please help him. His car was impounded since Thursday last week.

Lol...how is that an offence??. Chai!!! Well, shit do happen.

Lagos state government is seriously out to recoup their loses.

Lets all be vigilant.

sharpk007:
Firstly, don't go to court on the matter if You truly took the one way, and if den don charge U to court, font plead guilty, let d car be dere till case is adjourned and find someone dat can help out.

Reason is if U pleaded guilty, dat car might be gone or ur wahala go tripple.

Lagos rule against one way Is car forfeiture

chinyce:
Hello people, please, a fellow driver has his car impounded by lastma Amuwo-odofin, they've issued him ticket to go to Oshodi. Please can somebody advice, easiest way how to go about recovering this car. Please we need help and who knows oga on top. Thanks

Experiences gets us expose more to solving problems and also meeting and knowing people.

My brother that ticket they issued to him has killed it all already.

First, what was his offence? I hope its not one way...if it's he has just like 20% likelihood to get the car back. Just like the lovely guy advice up there he shouldn't plead guilty. Go to their office at oshodi opposite Arena...pm me I'll send you a contact that can help.

My friend I made a post here for yesterday had his car released after paying 55k.

Do what works for you, I'm still yet to complete any trip on indriver (fastest finger and crazy pricing). I do see good trips but there are usually 5km+ away, do you go for them?

I've driven 7km PUD I think a month ago, that's during the partial EndSars lockdown... I was about 48km away from home and all app would have hibernated in 10min... So sometimes you just have to use your head.

I increase my rent last week to 35k.

Spare parts are too expensive, everything has skyrocketed.

I did my research by calling car owners in uberfleet match, i notice most of them has actually increase their rent. Some are coming up with even more tougher conditions.

BUHARI HAS REALLY DESTROY THIS COUNTRY.

MY INCREASE WILL BE FOR THIS DECEMBER TO 2ND WEEK OF JANUARY.

Kamikaze42:
Hey Guys.

Some experience with cash (transfer) trips.

Rider said she transferred #1,200, I did not see alert. By the next day, I reported to Uber. Afterwards, the alert entered, however, Uber is asking her to still pay #1,200 before she can request a trip (perhaps they are yet to adjust the fare). Note that I updated Uber that the alert has been seen, she is saying what I did is not fair that I should have been patient for the alert.

The same patience that has cost me #4,900 (I am giving this another rider 2 weeks before I release her number for embarrassment). She should also be patient for Uber to reverse the payment.

Uber however is being diplomatic. I asked them directly what a driver should do if a rider requests for transfer payment, their response

"Driver-partners are responsible for collecting the full fare for a cash trip immediately on arrival at the rider’s destination.

Moreover, we highly value your feedback and we take what you're saying very seriously. As a growing company, we are constantly seeking ways to better enhance the Uber experience from both driver-partners and riders perspectives.

We appreciate your understanding in this regard."

Haha... Uber sabi compose mail enh...

Guy on a serious note any payment issue in uber that exceeds 3days is automatically gone on... So if afyer waiting for 2weeks for that lady and you still dont get your money dont even border to contact Uber on that else you put yourself at risk, just post her number here for we the good people of Oshogbo to do the wonders.

jpworld:
So Felicity0001 took one way and is looking for OBA of Benin to come get his car out.

Any driver that takes one way should be severely punish. Not just forfeiting of the car, he should serve the 6months jail sentence as you are coming out of jail, owner will be suing you for lost of property.

Obey Lagos law.

See talk... So you think with the level of my exposure and knowledge gathered especially on this thread I'll still fall to or break the laws of the land.
Oga focus...

Anyways, I don't talk to people like you...

Today is my resting/repairs day so I can give you all of my time while you come with everything you have.

Oga go back to that my post and read again then come back and tell me what you understand from it.

I'm sorry you went through all that bro, but then, why Indriver when Surge full every where yesterday on Bolt?

Surge without trip request coming in.

I waited over two hours in lekki on sunday night the few request that came in within that period were with 1.8, 1.9x..."rider cancelled" was what I got.

I finally left with Indriver.
