By right no south west state is supposed to be on NDDC



They’re all barren states

But you want Cross River to be part of NDDC just because it's in the same geographic area even though it's a barren state. How stupid do you sound now?
If South West are barren states then why are they recognized as oil producing states?

You're earning 100k, your employer is spending 7 million to sponsor you for a training. Doesn't look legit to them. It doesn't look legit to me too honestly.

Thay Twitter. Hmm, nothing is safe there. Everybody is a detective 😂

Instead of you to go to the police station, give them the full gist and buy fuel in their vehicle so they can come and do their job, you're ranting on Nairaland. You bought a second hand starlink that was packaged like new, the sad thing is you can never use it cos the device is attached to someone's account.

The nigeran police force does not make laws.

They enforce and protect the laws enacted by the national assembly.

For vehicles, the law that controls their use and other details about them including appearance is in the road traffic act.

The road traffic act also stipulates what colours you cannot paint your car, what colour of number plate you will use, where to affix your vehicle license sticker, who to apply to for change of vehicle color.

The NPF does not make laws with regards to vehicles or properties or the likes.

Know this and know peace.

Knowledge is power my good friend. Arm yourself with it and stop encouraging these men in uniform.

I am still waiting for the law that gave the Nigerian police the right to issue and approve tinted permits.

The tinted permits issuance was stopped because it was not supposed to be in the first place.

If any state or local govt modifies it's laws on the road traffic act (as Lagos has done), it may choose to indicate clearly the conditions for obtaining a tint permit. So far, none has done anything about tint. Until they do, the police has no right under the constitution to harass you over tint permit.

If the police takes a driver to court over the tint issues, which section of the Nigerian constitution will it cite as the contravention?

Have you seen the list of offences in the road traffic act and the act that set up the FRSC and their fines?

Is tint or tint permit there?

Your guess is as good as mine

And no worry about me, I use the road regularly, south south to south east, south east to south west and south west to south east na my regular routes and I encounter all manner of policemen.

If a 5 hour delay is your justification for giving and encouraging bribes, then continue but please do not advice others to do same.

You make the roads more stressful for the rest of us by making these policemen feel entitled..

Thanks.

Since you know all these, then what's the question about? Don't know you're just creating content for Nigeria. I take back my advice. Meanwhile, giving them what you can so they don't waste your time is only a choice as it has always been with me. You can as well decide to quote all these laws to them and drag it but one thing I know for a fact is, you're not suppose to intentionally tint your glass when there's a law against it. There's a reason why the permit was banned in the first place.

Should be arrested and prosecuted. You don't commit crime and get suspended. You get jailed to serve as deterrent to others like you.

American cars are not popular in Africa. Part problem.

9icetoo:

Can you quote the section of the road traffic act that prohibits tinted glasses?

And please stop encouraging bribes or whatever you call it.

It's people like you who have emboldened these rascals in uniforms on the highway.

Know the law, have your vehicle papers intact, up to date and all information therein correct.

No policeman born of a woman go yarn rubbish if you have all the above.

Let us stop encouraging rubbish and enabling rubbish.

Nigeria road safety law has nothing to do with tinted permit and that's how I know don't know jack about the car you drive. Tinted permit laws is in the jurisdiction of the Nigeria police force and they decide if they want to allow it or not. Tinted permit was suspended in March 20, 2022 and it's still suspended till now which means you're not allowed to have it.
Continue talking rubbish in the name of patriotism. No worry, you go tey for road. Na only you go dey beg them with 5k later.

Good morning guys,

I'll be brief and apologies for any typos.

What does the law says on tinted glass usage?

The back windows of my car is tinted but the front have been peeled off, I didn't peel off the back because it kinda makes the car beautiful.

Due to the kind of car I drive and I'm fairly young I usually get stopped by Police. I understand they're doing there job looking for criminals and maybe stolen vehicles.

Once they see my papers are complete and I'm no criminal they proceed to ask me for tinted glass which the Nigerian Police Force have stopped issuing.

Sometimes they use this to extort me and has been making me avoid areas that I know they'll be, FYI I'm usually just driving round within Asaba maybe to by food or fuel.

I can't really continue like this avoiding police, taking longer routes to my destination as fuel is on the high side now.

I did some research and some articles said Police are to only stop and search and not request for tinted permit as they no longer issue it and I read elsewhere of how vehicles without permit are being impounded.

I would really like to know what the LAW says exactly on the usage please bear in mind my car only has it at the back seat the front has been peeled off thanks.

Okay, here is the thing. The law does not allow you to have a tinted glass as long as it's not factory tinted. Even if it is, you only have about 6 months to change the glass to a none tinted glass.
Before now, people get permits to use tinted glass with the excuse that they have eyes problem so permits are only issued to ordinary citizens on that ground but since the new rules says no tinted permit anymore. Even for public figures, police men have decided to use that as a means of extorting Nigerians.
My simple advice to you is this, if you truly want to avoid trouble, forget the look of your car, remove the tint. If you don't want to remove it, then there are ways you can make police your friend. Be nice to them as soon as they stop you, start smiling, even if he's frowning at you, make jokes and smile, ask him why he's not happy. Try to get on his friendly side before he start questioning you. You can never go wrong with being too friendly or nice.

Once he's done checking your papers, prepare some change with you already, give him 1k before he ask anything else. Tell him they are doing a great job.

Do that at every junction they usually are and overtime they will all know you so when they see you next time, they will start joking with you before you even joke with them, they won't check your papers anymore, instead they will go straight to asking if you have something for them.

It has worked for me over the last 8 years cos I have always tinted my cars and I have only gotten permit once.

Mind you, if you're travel through Benin to Lagos, please I'm begging you with the name of God. Take enough money, have like 20k in change of 500. Those people along Benin to Lagos are notorious and they are always angry. Best thing is to give them the money as soon as they are trying to stop you before they ask you to park.

The fact remains, even if you have a tinted permit, they will always find something as long as they want to make trouble so it's best to avoid trouble by being overtly nice that they don't have a choice than to be kind too.
And don't ever say these words when dealing with an angry policeman:

*I know my right (when you're wrong or you're not sure if you're wrong)

*I'm calling my lawyer (when you know your lawyer cannot meet you there immediately)

*Do you know who I am (when you're a nobody, even if you're somebody, they don't care)

*My brother, uncle or whoever is a commissioner (when you know your relative is not even a sergeant)

Hope these helps. Sorry for the long reply, just giving you some experience from my pool of experience.

Your boss is playing with fire 🔥

Chelsea fans will probably say they have arrived once they win this one.

Who read that epistle they wrote there? Who even posted it!

Has he forgotten so soon that Tinubu lost Lagos under his watch? I doubt he will get any support 😂

Their crypto wallets nko? If they didn't check those ones, then they have done nothing handful to them with those forfeitures. If you know then you know.

MT:
Wacky storyline. Nice visual effect.

Yorubas don't fight like Spartacus in war or in a fight challenge, the ending is so predictable and the story line is so tacky - A bad replica of "the woman king" movie.

Femi Adebayo, dressing like a roman king, which I found so alien - should not have acted that part - Chatta or Lalude could have been spot on.

Wars were fought like Romans army with swords. Yorubas used charms to fight in their wars.

All in all, for me:

Story Line - 20%

Visual Effect - 65%

Anikulapo movie still remains distant number 1.

You're weird if you think that movie is not far better than Anikulapo and who the hell told you Yorubas don't fight with swords! It's either you're not yoruba or you don't know your history. Overall, I'll give it a 8/10 cos the only flaw in it is the fact that they used a different coffin when they edited the effect of that coffin under the river. Aside that, the story and acting is 100. Maybe you should watch it again. With an open mind this time cos it's obvious you've already condemned it in your mind before you watched it.

Because we are stuck in the past. Other advance countries have adopted better methods of generating power. You can't see overhead transmission lines in the US or the UK anymore.

UnfairLife7:
lol who told level 8 in FG civil servant earn 240k? Very few parastatals earning such amount. Most ministry if not all do not earn more than 70-80k as level 8.

Also, increment of minimum wage doesn't mean government workers salary will be doubled or triple. There are ways in doing that. All those figures you put up there are mere fallacy. No government workers under level 14 earn close to 450k at FG level.

If I'm not a FG government worker, I would have believed you 🤦 You conveniently lie to people about how much people that works in ministries earn even though you don't even have a first hand knowledge of that. That's sad. DM me privately and I'll give you a snapshot of my last salary as a level 12 officer of my local government ministry.
The mere fact that a lot of us complain about poor pay us not because we don't get paid well, it's because inflation makes our take home look like nothing.

Ebubu3:
N60k? That’s too poor

60k for a level 12 worker is 720k per month.
The entry level for a government worker as of today is level 8. With a 60k minimum wage, that's 480k per month before taxes unlike the 240k they earn before. After all taxes, they will still earn at least 420k per month now with the new minimum wage.
No body said you should work in a private sector where there's no regular promotion. That's where minimum wage has no meaning 🙄

She came on heat once when she was a year and 1 month but I couldn't find the right quality to mate her with since she's really big and my vet adviced that we should wait for the next heat being the first one but since then, nothing. She will be 2 years next month 🤦

Raspberri:
Help my Caucasian is 2years old and she hasn't gone on heat. Does anyone with a Caucasian have similar experience

Mine is close to 2 years too. She came on heat once when she was a year and 1 month but I couldn't find the right quality to mate her with and my vet advices we wait for the next heat being the first one but since then, nothing. She will be 2 years next month 🤦

Angrygoat:
Cos the heat is too much and the car will overheat.

You're wrong. Just buy a good car and use the right oil. Been using my car for 2 years now. No conversion of fan, no removal of thermostat. It has not overheated once ever.

I'm not an expert in police cases but the little I know, I can tell you that you only saw him cos you're about to be released. Now let me tell you why. DPOs and Commissioners in a police command must interview an arrested offender before his release cos he is the only one that can sign off your release. So when they took you to him, he has already signed off your release. Just wanted to do the last part of interviewing you.
You should also know that the most highly ranked police officers are very civil and responsible. They got to the position after a lot of courses and training so they respect the uniform. And they protect their position cos any mistake and they get undressed, they won't get their retirement benefits.

Humblelion1987:
Good morning nairaland family, please I have a serious issue which I need your advice.
I met my fiancee 1st March 2022 and everything clicked, within few weeks, we are like people who have been together for years because we share many things in common, we are birthday mates, we like the same food, we are practically like twins. I work as a Key account manager in charge of my region in one of the leading multinational company here in Nigeria, why she works as an RN(registered nurse) in one of the top private hospital in the state I base too. I will be 33yrs by September while she will be 25years the same date and month. We are supposed to get married by May this year because am ready and she is ready too, but the parents have been frustrating me, one that am not from there state, we passed through that phase and fixed our traditional wedding next month, the mum and her people now came up with another issue that she must travel abroad before getting married, even when I have tried convincing them that I can't prevent there daughter from traveling even after marriage because I have been nursing same ambition too.

When I met my fiancee, she has been doing bad in her ihealth exams not until I came into her life. I have purchased the form three times in a space of 6 months plus her form for CBT and I do practically everything for my woman. Since we met, she doesn't touch her salary, she doesn't stress herself much about house duties, both washing, cooking and other things because as a bachelor, those are the things I enjoyed doing. I love her so much and she love me too, but am totally confused on what to do as the parents have said point blank that she can only get married when she travels to UK.

She had a serious fight with the parents last night and the mum even called me and told me that if I can't abide by there rules, I should forget about there daughter. Am the only son and my parents are not aware of the situation.

I don't know there problem because as a young man, I leave in a comfortable bungalow, drives good car outside my official car and equally employed one of her siblings on a temporary project am running for my office, which they both earn 60k monthly.

Please I need advise on how to go about this as I have two options in my mind. Should I move on and forget all the money I have spent so far or should I stand by my fiancee who loves me so much and finish the fight?

Let her travel. Once she's gone, find another girl. Life no hard, na we dey ask yeye questions from life.

Never experienced brake failure in my cars but I have experienced it on my powerbike. I was doing 140km/hr whole traveling to Akure from Ondo. Suddenly a bus was coming directly at me cos the driver had just overtaken a trailer in a tight face me, I face you road... I saw him late so I slammed on my back brake to slow down before supporting with my hand brake. At that speed, if I use my hand brake first, I'll lose control and if I only use back brake, it won't be enough to slow me down so I can maneuver so I slammed on my back brake. It worked but when it's time to support it with my hand brake. Na so my hand brake they make noise and front tire started shaking heavily. I lost my hand brake. I had to run off the road at about 100km/hr. I still don't know how I manage to hold on to the bike and didn't fall. I was literally shaking by the time it ass over. I parked and checked the front brake. Low and behold, grass as tangled on the brake disc so it prevented the brake from catching. Las Las, na God save me.

Shey dem say nobody die? 😀

A lot of things can trigger you on your wedding day. My wife got upset cos we didn't send two cars to bring her and her friends so they had to squeeze inside one. I got upset cos my best man forgot the Bible we were suppose to use. Trust me, it's always a busy and emotional day. I don't think this video has anything to do with love.

Stop quoting me retar..d

Okay son 😂

OfficialDJ:
what makes you holier than me? NADA. Zilch. Nein. Stop quoting me with rambling nonsensical epistles.

Na you know you holiness ratio. I don't have time for a self acclaimed DJ by day and fraudster by night.

OfficialDJ:
Continue with your delusional sattires...

You haven't cut corners at once in your life? Hypocritical clown.

If I cut corners, maybe in other aspects of life but I don't cut corners in money related issues that will make anyone call me a fraudster or make me brag about doing shady deals online. It's an open forum, everyone is welcome to quote me about that and you can share this anywhere.
I have made millions in this one life I have and every kobo of that millions is from an 100% legit business. Starting from working for people to owning my own companies, it's been 100% legit. Please quote me if you like. Everyone is not like you and there is no hypocrisy or delusion cos I have no hate or dislike for dishonest people. I understand that life can make you do unprecedented things but life didn't push me to that extent so I can't relate. I don't brag about my accomplishments online abeg, don't drag me into it.

OfficialDJ:
Yup, and they're also people better than you are, nobody is saintly here.
I copped an ///AMG for 30 million recently, and I'm pretty sure they're folks who'd fork out 300 million to get a RR without battling an eyelid...
Make everybody dey him dey..

We've all been involved in shady deals at least once in our lives.

You've been involved in shady deals. Not me. If you take pride in living a dishonest life, then speak for yourself alone. I don't take pride in it and will never do a shady deal. I'd rather have 10 naira honestly than have 30 million from a shady deal. So uncle abeg speak for yourself alone.

Seriously. I thought they just finished one? Like this show will still end in a disaster that will make the FG ban it permanently. Maybe fire outbreak in the house or something. But I know for sure that this show is a disaster waiting to happen.
