It's interesting that the top 4 states are the Yoruba South West states. It could mean that there are more cars and vehicle transportation in the South West or traffic laws are better enforced in the South West more than other parts of Nigeria. In my opinion, anyone who can afford to pay this huge fines could have saved this money and use it to improve his or her personal finances. Rising payment of fines is a sign of rising disposable income. Please drive safe and obey all the traffic laws. As the yuletide period starts from next week, please let us not drink or get intoxicated and drive. The fines are necessary deterrent so let's comply. Lagos State has invested a lot to enforce traffic laws yet most drivers don't obey. Before the cameras were installed, at night, people will drive right from Admiralty toll plaza to Bonny camp without stopping for once to obey the traffic lights and I keep wondering if those of us stopping are serving a punishment. If you can't obey our Lagos state laws , including our traffic laws, please stay back in wherever you are because if you come to Lagos and break our laws, the law will take its course and no amount of blackmail that it's targeted against your tribe or non-Yoruba will work. Please obey our Lagos state traffic laws and drive safe. God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs! 71 Likes 2 Shares

Traffic offense in Nigeria is highly subjective. It depends on your status and the mood of the officer. For example, taxi drivers and rickety cars don't commit traffic offense. Uniform men and patrol vehicles hardly commit traffic offense. Selective justice is really bad. All "normal" road users understands what I'm saying sparko1: Yes, same reason you'll throttle full speed because the light in front of you is green, only to collide with a patrol vehicle that the driver is too big to wait like others. You must be one of them. 46 Likes 1 Share |

Yestogood:It will help you to read well so you don't contaminate other people's views with your biases. If you are familiar with Lagos, you will not even struggle to understand my comment. Since you are not from Lagos, I will suggest that you follow Radio Lagos 107.5 FM or Lagos Traffic Radio. It's a pity when you type comments and it immediately reminds one of this lamentation of Prof Soyinka. 43 Likes 1 Share

I'm not seeing Edo state on the list because most of the fines go to private pockets . If you know how private traffic offenders are treated in Edo state, you will be angry to realize that all those fines went into thin air with Edo not on this list 1 Like |

PoliteActivist: Exactly. Do you know why? Fines are outrageous and not compatible with minimum wage..No traffic offences should be more than #5k with or without community services . With outrageous fines, many offenders would rather brbe by paying lesser amounts. SW lead because thugs in uniform like vio/lastma/frsc are fine collectors. 2 Likes |

We need more of this to become a sane country. All these weekly accidents MUST stop. Use the funds to hire more traffic enforcers, so you can collect more funds and reduce the deaths on our highways. If you can get people to obey traffic laws, there would be less traffic and greater efficiency and productivity. FreeStuffsNG: 1 Like |

If government is strict with penalties, I think that revenue is way too small. Despite how good Australians drive, their government made over $1 billion last year alone. About N743, 000,000,000. This is a great source of revenue and a way to improve traffic safety in Nigeria. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.9news.com.au/article/f30b5b99-beb3-4536-ba67-e51c56adee56 1 Like |
