I stand corrected. Still against the law anyway. I believe the government is putting the burned of their incompetence on the general population.
What happens to seizing or suspending driver's license or even vehicle license. What happens to punishing the actual offenders instead of the owner. Most cars owners don't drive themselves and employ driver's. You mean I send my driver to go on an errand, he drives one way andyou car get impounded and auctioned, while the driver goes scot-free?

plaindealer:
You misread and misinterpreted the law you referenced.

Yes, the government can not take over your property for no reason and without adequate compensation, but not when it has to do with criminal activities and infractions against the law.


It's already ben decided that the FRSC by law can impound your vehicle.






We can not keep wailing against the people in power for a better Nigeria when we are not even ready and willing to do better and live by the same social codes and governance that we desire as a people.

The Lagos State government or any other government don't have the powers to impound and auction your car. That's is against section 44 (1) of the Nigerian constitution, which states and I quote;


How can people obey the law when the government itself is lawless.

Bro look link you post nah, nah repeat offender. In as much as I do not encourage breaking traffic rules, I think the Government ought to do more as regards enforcement... Fines, community service could come as 1st time offenders punishment, when it becomes a repeat offence u can feel free to even incarcerate that offender.

Also, it would be nice if all 1 way are properly labelled to avoid mistakes by people who do not know.

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the street in front of the bank; she has the title, and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the blonde returns and repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely; but we are a little puzzled. We checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is – why would you bother to borrow $5,000?" The blond replies....."Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

Shokoloko:
Perfect. Thank you

Shokoloko:
No state was mentioned, so I will assume that should be for the whole of Nigeria, but this is the one for Lagos

Shokoloko:
Correct me if the penalty has been updated

Beremx:
Don’t tell me people follow one-way on Third Mainland Bridge. Really?

plaindealer:
Thank you.

Some Nigerians are just too lawless for their own good, they go to other countries and obey their laws, but never in Nigeria because Nigeria is their jungle where they get to do whatever they want, disobey laws as much as they want then turn around to shout and yell that other countries are better than Nigeria.

Very mind bugling.

Luckydubby7:
So if I have malaria, I have to carry out covid first?
But before covid19 there was malaria.

Samunique:
Hahahahahaha

So all the figures you people have been rolling out are mostly malaria related ?

Enugupikin:
No wonder they were rolling out more cases
Ndị ara

Luckydubby7:
Before nkor, were not all malaria patients treated as covid19.
So, some people are surprised that Nigeria version of covid19 is malaria typhoid.

Iyajelili:
Maybe his doctor wife told him that or he recently got an MBBS degree.

SpatialKing:
Most useless, dull, zero intelligent Governor in Nigeria..

How would you treat Malaria as COVID-19?
They are two different entities

So people with malaria should be transferred to isolation centres

naptu2:
What he said is so simple and easy to understand.

COVID-19 is spreading rapidly and some people that have it need immediate care in order to save their lives. Therefore, early detection is important.


If someone presents with fever symptoms, assume that he has COVID-19, take all safety precautions and test him to remove all doubts.


He did not say include malaria patients in the statistics of people that have COVID-19, neither did he say that people that actually have malaria should be treated for COVID-19.

In any case, a person that is tested for COVID-19 and tests negative will not be included in the list of people that have positive results.
