If somebody die for front of your house, na who police go hold?

Until we see picture of the SMS, we no believe.

OP has never owned property hence why they cannot understand why someone would not want strangers parked in front of their home.

Mostdetailed:
They have a right to do it. By principle of reasonable use and security, you shouldn't park at people's private residence. If they say no parking, then no parking.

I'm not sure if it's a main road and not ur drive way. The road is not ur private property.

And as for security issues u can inquire for who or why they are parked there or just observe if any funny behaviour bt u can't stop them from parking on public property. That's not trespassing.


Even shops do it once they see ure not their customer and this is not their drive way bt actual main road.

it's wrong and unlawful.

Just tell them to put signboard with the insscription "NO PARKING by police order", if they don't want anybody to park there.

This is what I told a woman who accused me of parking in front of her shop, and the shop is directly opposite 'A DIVISION' Ilorin. I told her to walk across to the police station and lodge a complain.

U only paid for the shop and NOT the road, besides I pay my tax regularly and this is one of the sources of income to the government, she's fuming.


I was waiting for her to do her worst when a man walked up to me and asked me to hop in and zoom off. He said I should ignore her.

Same among Mexicans in the US

I have had issues with 'mad' Nigerians over this madness. you will see people put tire on the road in front of their house so that you will not park in front of their house like did you pay for the road too? Is the road your property?

And when you park there they will leak your tire. Please, do these idiots know that their property does not extend beyond the fence you paid for? You don't own the road. I hate these people with this entitlement mindset. One idiot haas actually leaked my tire because I parked on government road that happens to be in front of his property. You will see these demonic sons of baal disfigure the whole place by putting tires on roads in front of their house so someone does not park there.

This has happened to me in estates too. When you buy a house in a gated estate do you buy the road in front of your house with it? I seriously need an answer to this particular question because I have had troubles with people in gated estates who think the road in front of their house is theirs and no one can park on it?

I guess you've lived in one or some of these socialist countries where government controls everything, including the school your child must attend and the type of residence you can live We have too much freedom in Nigeria (due to failure of the three tiers of government) and people get to misuse and abuse their freedom.

Remember that these guys organized themselves, constructed the road, fixed their water system, and some go as far as buying transformers. There is no way you can convince them that the road within the gated estate belongs to "everybody" and "nobody." Even the government does not have that moral right.

Why only you fighting everybody.
In the gated estates, yes they do have the entitlement right, they organized themselves, paid heavily to build the roads for their convinency, normally they do advice residents to park within their houses and if you must park outside, it should be within the frontage limit of your house or of your guest.

LienwaltAbel:
Utter nonsense. Try it outside Nigeria first, you won't see your car till you pay a hefty fine. Imagine coming home after a long day of work to see one stupid stranger's car parked in front of your house, or imagine trying to leave for work and one useless fool parked his bolekaja in front of your car. Say the truth. You go happy?

One fool pour sharp sand for building right in front of my gate few weeks ago.. I just called aboki to level the sand on the road. The real owner never came to ask

Proudlyngwa:
The question is are u the owner of the road

Lol…

If they dump a dead body in front of that space you call government road that's in front of my house would the police have reasons to speak with me? I might not own that space legally but I'm the custodian. So I decide who parks there and what goes on around there cz it's in front of my house

The land in which the roads and houses are built belong to the government. Therefore, if someone builds his/her house close to a road,the houses can be demolished by the government during road expansion.So,who owns the land?Hence,no landlord has the right to embarrass any motorist that parked his /her vehicle in a road close to their house except for security breach.

my dad paid for land, the man that own the road/entrance to the land also sold the entrance for my dad, collect traditional right for the entrance too. Now the entrance has become road to be accessed by about three other compound. People are passing there too. In this Case my father can claim ownership of the place because he paid fully for the entrance that is now road

SonofGod231:
You never see any thing....I've seen in some places in yenagoa and Port harcourt where people build on the roads making it impossible for others to drive into their houses.

Yenagoa issue is that they lack town planning. They will sell land for you without reserving motorable road rather only small footpaths.
Same with some places in Portharcourt.

Them don carry same mentality come my village in Enugu state. I thought I have seen enough in Portharcourt and yenagoa till I traveled to villa recently

adioolayi:
The security around their house is their business...go park elsewhere...park at dedicated parking lot...you can be seen as a security threat!

If you see any parked car as a security threat, it's not their business. Nobody should suffer due to your paranoia. The road in front of your house is a public space and no one individual should lay claim to it.

BlackDuke:

Lol. It doesn't matter, you can bring a chair out and sit from morning till evening to ensure nobody does there, but the road in front of your house is not your private space.

It's the same way one yeye woman selling okrika bra at Yaba warned me not to pass the walkway where she displayed her discolored underwears.
I actually passed there while going, she insulted me and dared me to pass on my way back.
I was almost passed another road while going back but then I remembered her dare and went back to pass the walkway.

She screamed and shouted and I insulted her forefathers too.
I actually thought she would do worse then I would have shown her small something too.

Very lawless people, after they will say naija is not good when they're the ones spoiling it.

My friend, don't let their dumbfvckery upset you.

See your entitlement mentality too why are you a nuisance parking your car in people's space!? Government road ko government house ni. I put no parking one man just removed it and parked his car telling me it is government road? Are you kidding me God will not let us be in emergency in the house what do I do for safety?! It is my space and I said no parking, you ought to respect yourself!

The one that piss me off most is those shops owner. They will shout "No block my shop ooo". Na so one lady tell me that. I had to reply her that na shop you rent, you no rent government road.

I write as owner of a property. Most time people park in your frontage, these are the things they do-
1-They can urinate in your drainage system while you watch them.
2 some reckless danfo drivers can sweep their dirty in your frontage.
3 some would even turn your frontage to mechanic workshop.
4 some can even sit down on your verhander saying they are taking fresh air.
5 some we make it their permanent garage.
6 some would live their house and dump rubbish in your gutter.
Tell me how you will not be mad with intruder that park frivolous in your frontage when you pay tenement and land use charge. Mad o to intruder!

GloriousGbola:
you are talking as a visitor. now talk as the occupant, esp if there are parking constraints in the area. you come back home and want to park outside because you are going out again, but some stranger is in front of your house in the spot you normally use.

and as a uk guy you know exactly whats up

and then there is the case of abuse.

i went to my old hood and the entire public parking has been taken over by car dealers.

Oga u are still sounding like the owner of the road. The road (govt property) is in front of ur house. So as far as the law is concerned u are also a stranger which means u don't have the exclusively right to refer to someone as a stranger and you as what again? Landlord? Oga provided the " stranger" is not blocking ur entrance, u will have to find another place to park ur car. U do not have any right to decide where and why ur stranger park his car.

They are entitled to the space in front of their property, its an entrance to their property and you can't block it, when you get your own property, you can allow people to park in front of your property, when you have no access or space to your house, then you will know how they feel.


You're also feeling entitled to someone else property and space, why will you park in front of someone house, nah your papa pay for that place you wan park?

Op, get sense, you're claiming its government property, will the government even allow you park on their road without them impounding your car? You can't park on someone's space and have it in your head you have no right to do so, some estates have marked space for parking and you can use that space but if you use any other space that has no parking markings, then you should be fined for violation...

mynd44 please can somebody answer these questions for me i am close to killing some people in my estate for this madness

And you need to answer me if those roads you mentioned are your garage or parks too.

We argue as if we don't know the peculiarities of our country..

Who is responsible for the cleaning of the drainage Infront of those fences....is it not suppose to be government responsibilities Where is the government

The same road the communities gather money sandfilled the potholes The same road the communities gather money put streetlight, security post

Okay na, carry your car come park where you are not welcomed and argue that na government road na ...when no be highway...Street roads wey communities they service

.. laugh wan kee me

It is illegal because it’s government property but any illicit happening there will be answer by them

Lol

its just infuriating. that someone has the guts to walk up to your private property and let the air out of your tire when you are parked on a road they do not own. its one of the frustrating things about living in nigeria. its just so irritating. am getting to the point where i m starting to see all nigerians in their own little ways are dictatorial in nature which is good because my empathy is starting to fade off slowly. you cant be empathetic when living amongst demons lol.

Elliotwaveforec:
You're a stranger and the people who live there take care of the area and even pay for the security of the place. You can't block the entrance of my house and expect me keep quiet.

ok i see lots of you have been saying this thing about blocking the entrance of someones house. well that is what mad people do. i am not mad. when i say park on the street in front of your house, say for example your house is long enough that the street equivalent is that it can park 3 cars , then i will take one of those spots without blocking your gates. but some idiots find issue with you parking on the street even if you are not blocking their gate. thats what i m saying
