kenmaro: A 3 months imprisonment or a fine of 100,000 and seizure of the vehicle is on the high side for a traffic offense. Instead, i think a one(1) month social work or a fine of 25,000 with a mandatory 7days driver's re-certification and a non-seizure of the vehicle is OK. After all, the vehicle did not drive itself wrongly rather it was operated by a human. I tell you this country Nigeria does not have a fair judicial system for the helpless Nigerian citizen. If it was an elite citizen(the "who is who" in the society), do we think these kind of punishment would have been judiciously applied? Go around Lagos state to see a lot of siren blaring convoys driving against traffic in their quest to either catch-up a flight or etc and causing havoc to other road users. Some of these people in these convoys are members of the state cabinet and other top government functionaries. What has the government done to these set of people? Take the case of former speaker of the House of Rep(Salisu Buhari) who was convicted of a case of certificate forgery some years back, what was the punishment for his offense? A mere fine of 1,000naira. But i tell you, just a case of certificate forgery in the quest of employment in a company here in Nigeria will land a helpless citizen(who is a "Nobody" in jail with an option of a very bogus fine.
Fashola is really doing great reformations in the state and neither am i against his reformation policies but he should ensure that equal justice is applied to the high and low in the society.

PretiEbony: Lmfao... Diz is d real joke

PretiEbony: Swthrt! Don't mind those guys, they r wasting their tym... And as for you Bunmioguns, stay clear of me!!! You called me an ex wife jst because u were given dat chicken change as a yoke poster of d year.

PointB: It is not about having anything personal against Fashola. The core of the discontent is that Lagos State receives over N30B every month, but there is no commensurate project completed to justify the income. What's even alarming is that most of the project attributed to Fashola are either private sector sponsored or World Bank financed.

Isn't it then worrying that while Lagos State generate high IGR and receives substantial FG allocation, the state is continually being immersed further and further into external debt. If this is not sign of stealing and systematic corruption, pray, say what is?

ikeyman00: @@@@@@@@

within few years he has been a governor he should be really doing more to it

and he knows that!

but with one man collecting taxes and the other cosigning

there isnt much transparencies there?

what do u say?

Lagos by now should have most of its roads damn solidly built with roads signs visibly display

forget the ACN agbeors in nl; the truth must live am afraid!

iamtheprincipal: For me, Gov. BRF has done nothing wrong. Some persons opted to criticise his administration because of his benefactor whom they say has taken possession of Lagos State.
