You should have recorded with your camera and have and have them exposed online, that seems to be the only way right now since the authorities are equally corrupt and can't help.

Every public official looks for ways to extort.

That was how one FRSC stopped our company bus and tried to fine us for deflated spare tyre, I told him we just changed the tyre when one went flat a few kilometers behind, he said that was not his business. It took boldness and insistence on no offense on my part before he now mellowed and allowed us go.

Police, FRSC, VIO et al are predators. Even though LASTMA has been tamed a little, a few of them still prey on unsuspecting bus drivers especially when they are non patrol with policemen.

We should all start watching and recording these events, secretly in the case of policemen who are armed.

debbie: After hearing so many bad things about the Nigeria Police force,i didnt know that one day i will fall victim to their wicked and corrupt mind.
One my way yesterday in Lagos State,while my cousin was driving down the National Stadium Surulere onward to shitta and down to lawanson.As we were approaching the traffic light infront of the stadium (which had two traffic lights that work almost simultaneously),before the light changed to orange my cousin having passed the first traffic light which was few steps away from the second stopped.

In less than few seconds,three female police officers standing by came and started questioning us.
One said " why didnt you stop since and its now that the light was changing to orange that you will stop.Before we knew what was happening the other ladies jumped inside the backseat.
The second lady asked us to park in front of the stadium,but my cousin and i insisted that we didn't commit any traffic offense.Yet the refused and asked us to drive into the stadium.Because we refused, the lady started shouting that we want to kidnap her? (someone who forcefully entered your car is now raising alarm).....this was where the whole drama unfolded.

Unknown to us,they actually led us to a police station inside the National stadium.Immediately we where confronted by two men who looked hungry and unpleasant in their uniform.This was the DPO and another officer or whoever they were.They started accusing us of trying to kidnap the ladies and secondly breaking the traffic rules.Meanwhile these ladies have already disappeared and gone back to their duty post ( waiting for another victim).

The DPO told us that our offense is 80,000naira else we will be taken to alausa...at that point we felt weak and cold,knowing that this was not going to end up in a funny way.
We started pleading after trying to prove we didn't commit any offense....before we knew what was happening they called a stand by vulcanizer who deflected our tires.At this point we felt helpless and we told them we didnt have much money on us,but just about 5k ( the DPO busted into serious anger and shouted at us,that we think he is all these road side touts that can just collect anything? that is it either we pay 20k or forget the car for now)...not knowing what to do.My cousin now told the police officer to call back the guy to pump air back into those tires,let him try and figure out a way out...the vulcanizer came and said that to pump each tire is 1000 naira.This sent some cold air down my spine and i was like is this really happening or was i dreaming.The poor man told us that since it was the officer that asked him to pump the tire,he needs to buy him some cool recharge cards,so that is why he is charging us that huge amount.

My cousin started calling his office people and explaining what happened.After some minutes (thanks to the closeness of his office to the National Stadium),two of his colleagues came and demanded to speak with the DPO....who refused to entertain any discussion.

Unknown to me,they have already contacted another DPO at IJORA side,who requested to speak with the man in-charge.....while the colleagues were persuading the man to speak with the oga on phone,he started ranting that who the hell is it they want him to speak to.Afterward he collected the phone and from his salutation one could easily detect who the person on the other end was.Within some few minutes the call was over and the officer out of anger told the guy to pump back the tires and insisted he needs to settle those ladies...we said NO,BUT IT WAS OBVIOUS ANOTHER DRAMA WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN....

AFTER SPENDING OVER 3HOURS THERE,WE WERE RELEASED AND LEFT THE PLACE
THIS IS MY STORY

I wonder how many innocent citizens have fallen prey to the hands of these wicked and corrupt men who should be doing the right thing...NOT TO TALK OF THOSE LADIES WHO ARE STATIONED THERE TO CATCH VICTIMS AND DRAIN THEM OF THEIR MONEY.
I ask,what is the government doing? has it really gotten this bad? who are we to blame? even in the heart of the town such things happen and no one is speaking against it?

FINALLY,NIGERIA HAS A LONG WAY TO GO,BUT OUR POLICE FORCE IS A TOTAL DISGRACE .

DaBrat, I loved her rap on Destiny's child Survivor remix. Foxy brown used to be my all time favourite. Loved Eve's "love is blind" like something else. I gave up on them all when we started having the likes of Blaise here in Nigeria (at the period when American music started becoming trash). Those days are gone...

Now this is a real 20-year old, kudos to her. Wishing her more success feats

Okadas still ply Lagos roads, stop spreading falsehood

gift01: The easiest way to fool Nigerians. Fashola rode on Okada during campaign but Okada people suffer for him hand. Most will never forget his tenure

daveP: focus more on the message than the messenger? Really. Rem this is what they use to know which is true and fake. Talk about filthy fountains producing pure and absolutely clean water- now thats impossible. They arent jst singers, its a ministry. Thus Bola Are stand perfectly out in that regard. The messenger matters as much as the message. Ce fini.

I disagree, look at the lives of Kings David and Solomon, they had their bad sides but still enjoyed God's blessings and favour. If you look at their lives you won't read the bible books of Psalms, Songs of Solomon, etc.

See the cup half full and not half empty.

Swizdoe: I noticed lasg are not strict with their traffic laws anymore

Elections are approaching and Nigerians are too gullible. PDP in Lagos is already using okada ban as campaign in Lagos, promising to bring back Okada if they win Lagos next year

tabaralph: 70% of all these gospellers are bloody hypocites especially the most popular yoruba lady among them am not mentioning name,they preach one thing and doing direct opposite ,,,,i know what am talking about !!!!!

Focus on the message and not their lives, they are human and are not immune from falling. Only God is perfect.

I know you're referring to Tope Alabi, whatever we heard about her doesn't affect her messages. Focus more on the message than the messenger.

Tope Alabi (got 8 out of her 10 albums)
Bukky Bekes (RCCG mass choir)
Gbenga Adenuga (in search of his albums)
Wale Adenuga
C&S Movement Surulere choir (from 80s/90s)

We trust and believe the Nigerian soldiers, who we don't trust are the politicians in charge of them. Now they are saying there's boko haram media, just to distract as usual. We still remember how they initially denied the chibok abduction and tried to divert people's attention until it was too late to save the girls.

FG: Living in denial since 2010

richeso: Guy quite joo.... I hate all this pdp apc rubbish.
Lagos state own and build isolation centre ko. All the fedreal money wey go lagos wetin dem take am do ?
Na so fashola dey take credit for lagos even open federal projects.
The one wey good una go say na fashola own, the one wey bad na goodluck own.
I don dey believe many of una no be the real nigerians , just some shi.t politicians behind nairaland walls

Yinmu

Lagos state built and owns the isolation center, they know those who ar there and their condition. The health minister and FG should cover their heads in shame

there's something you're not doing right cos mine has

leTrizzle: Pls check and see for yourself.

The bolded is a wicked lie

2cato: The whole of okokomaiko roads with no gutter andno single tarred road are in terrible state.

It has

KelsAltair: What! It doesn't have wlan hotspot? Please confirmation is needed...

It has, check again

leTrizzle: Finally got my phone delivered to me here in Kano. Just discovered this phone does not have wlan hotspot.

Iamoilprince: Nice one! If FG handled Boko haram like Ebola I dnt tink any member wud be alive by now!

The handling was by the state government, building an isolation center and massive awareness by the state government went a long way

Welcomed development, so many distressed buildings in ebutte meta, even some that are barely 5 years

If the FG cooperated with Lagos the way they are supposed to, Lagos would have been much better than this

gymer: Fashola is also a failure in Lagos state na. No portable water, bad roads all over the places, poor drainage system, armed robbers and touts on the increase, etc. why can't he faces the business of governing Lagos instead of always looking for platform to attack the FG? Despite the huge burden of multiple taxes we are facing in Lagos, we don't feel any government presence, yet the man in the helm of affair is running his mouth everywhere. Attacking the FG is not what I voted him for.

Where is the OP?

Tazmode: How else can the troubling national issues be brought to the fore, deliberated upon, solved and codified? .. His opinion sha

The National Assembly

your own is better o, I'm 28 and don't know how to drive perfectly. My two younger siblings can drive, started driving lesson almost two months ago but haven't gone back after the first practical which I messed up so badly.

babyosisi: Mine is pathetic
I didn't start driving till I was 26
It took 2 months
I was too scared to learn

johnade1: Guys should i re-order?......i don order since last thursday na

EngrOloye: U people will fold up bcs of caping of a thing.wia is STARCOMMS,MULTILINKS etc today.dat was hw we told dem den but dey didn't listen.let's watch and c.

Lamido has been linked with 2015 presidency so this is just to tame him. It is so obvious

texazzpete: Great work, EFCC. All thieves should be dealt with.

Now please why don't you guys show this much effort in tackling other Govs that are friendly with the administration?

Also, mind reopening Fani Kayode's case while you're at it?

Amosun did not increase the fees, PDP's Daniel did

Firefire: Dear APC South West,

We have been undaunted about your recent Greek gifts, it is a complete caricature of dividend of democracy, where have you been since 2011

Fashola reverting LASU School fees, Amosun following.

We believe this is a matter of political strategy that can be revert once you gain power in 2015. {A case study of ACN. Kiting Okada riders in Lagos prior to election in 2011 only to ban okada after winning the election}

The state of all Lagos hinterland roads is in a state of mess, Isolo, Ketu, Badagry area, Ikotu etc.

Can you as a matter of importance declare a State of Emergency on all Rural Roads in Lagos.

Also, call your entire Local Government officials to begin serious work in their locality and stop all these sharing of LG Allocation.

I offer you this advice believing that we should get back from you the much you have stolen from the state.

APC, you are becoming unpopular and we are all waiting for 2015 to vote you OUT.

Amosun slashed the fees when he was first elected governor, this one is a further reduction in the fees. Get informed

Akinsete19: even if pdp increase it. Why is apc feeling that they are intelligent by taking people for granted? Why are they giving we the citizenry 'greek gift' few month to the general election?

PDP increased the fees before 2011 and not ACN/APC, get informed.

Akinsete19: If they like let them reduce d sch fee of all apc state universities to 2naira 50kobo,i could rather not vote at all than to vote for apc. Cause i hate someone playing on people intelligence.

Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has approved an across the board reduction in all State owned Tertiary Institutions.

In the new school fees regime, some students will pay 61 percent less than they are currently paying while some others will be paying as low as N29,700. The reduction was arrived at after extensive deliberation between government, leadership of the various Students’ Unions and heads of the institutions.

Also, the new school fees regime has abolished the indigene/non-indigene dichotomy as all students offering the same course and the same level will pay the same fees.

In a statement signed by Barrister Segun Odubela, Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, the government stated that medical students of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) who are paying N301,610 will now be paying N176,596, a 41.4 percent reduction. Also, students of the Faculty of Arts in the same university will be paying N81,112 instead of the current fee of N126,540, a 35.9 percent reduction.

In Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, the school fees has been reduced from N71,300 to N40,000 for Higher National Diploma (HND) while Ordinary National Diploma (OND) students will enjoying a reduction of N22,300, a reduction of between 31.1 and 9.6 percent respectively.

Students of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) will enjoy a reduction from N103,435 for the first year students to N75,000, representing 27.5 percent reduction, while returning students who are paying N93,465 will now be paying N65,000, representing 30.4 percent reduction.

Higher National Diploma (HND) students of Ogun State Institute of Technology, Igbesa who are currently paying N118,000 will now be paying N46,000, a reduction of 61 percent.

The reduction of fees will also apply to the other three (3) Institutes of Technology owned by the State Government.
The reduction of fees will take effect from the 2014/2015 academic session.
The State Government has also donated thirteen (13) buses to the Student Unions of all State and Federal Institutions in the State. Also to benefit from this largesse is the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Ogun State Chapter.
Government further stated that it will always protect the interest of the students as they are future leaders of the Nation.
