Yestogood:yes Yoruba living in south west also breaks the traffic laws and we pay the fines without shouting witch-hunting, no amount of blackmailing will help non-yorubas living in southern west obey our laws or move out .., it’s not by force… we didn’t invite anyone 1 Like 1 Share |

FreeStuffsNG: Your statement was making a whole lot of sense until the quoted part...it reeks of tribal sentiment and besides who do you think are the worse offenders of traffic regulations in Lagos state. If I'm not mistaken the first four states mentioned are in the South West does it also mean the offenders should stay back where ever they are not to blackmail the state too? More importantly you can't claim Our Lagos state, Our laws and all that if you don't pay tax, what Lagos state needs are responsible citizens that contribute to her growth by paying taxes and not chest beaters and tribal champions. 2 Likes |

FreeStuffsNG:I've had to pay for traffic offence upto 20 times and it is only once I knew that money went to govt purse and it was because I refused to pay the money the officer asked me to pay or I had to go the normal process and spend more, I chose the later. So more than 90% of traffic fines goes into the officers pockets 1 Like |

FreeStuffsNG: Oga, you clearly warned people from outside Lagos not to come to Lagos to break Lagos laws, why didn't you also warn indigenous Lagosians not to break Lagos laws.... It is either you are trying to say 1. Only outsiders come to Lagos to break Lagos laws? 2. Or Lagos laws were only made for outsiders to obey and Indigenous Lagosians are exempted? Don't beat around the bush Oga, tribalism is doing you strong thing, the guy pointed out your goof, but you chose to become defensive even using a post that does not have anything to do with the discussion. I know you have 2 options for me, either you act like you didn't see my post or you come with a defensive post totally away from the topic without directly addressing your statement warning only outsiders breaking Lagos laws... You are very predictable.... 2 Likes |

FreeStuffsNG: I'm not happy to tell you this: doesn't it look to you like SW state governments are targeting their own people to raise revenue for the governments. Abuja should have been the next city following Lagos state in terms of revenue from this offence. Are you telling me that Osun state (my state) has more cars than Rivers state or kano or Kaduna state, or there are more traffic offenders in SW than any other region? The same thing goes for borrowing sprees, SW leads the pack, and southern states in general are more indebted than Northern states. OgbeniOja1: Absuchat:No, that's not the case. They're targeting drivers. Even if your vehicle breakdown, you will be booked as offender instead of helping you or at least, sympathetic to your situation. I was fined 30k in Osun state about two years ago because my vehicle breakdown. It was even towed to the government secretariat. Lagos state is 100x worse than the next state on the ladder |

FreeStuffsNG: People are well behaved in many part of Nigeria. Like in portharcourt, most people obey the traffic light without the presence of police officers or traffic controllers. Sometimes police officers stay there for hours and get little or nothing and it discourages them from coming out tomorrow because folks don't break the rules |

IF THIS COUNTRY EVENTUALLY DIVIDE INTO THREE OR TWO, THE WHOLE NORTHERN NIGERIA WILL BE SO POOR THAT OVER 15 COUNTRIES IN AFRICAL WILL BE BETTER THAN THEM. THE CULTURE AND ISLAMIC PRACTICE THERE IS A GREAT PROBLEM FOR GROWTH. A RELIGION THAT EXLUDE WOMEN FROM CONTRIBUTUNG TO ECONOMY AND ALSO LEGALISE BEGGING FOR ARMS TO SURVIVE. I am ashamed that i came from Islamic family, I think for my fore fathers are not smart at all. |

PoliteActivist: If its not recorded anywhere, then how do you expect it to be part of this official statistic!! |
Re: Traffic Offenders In 12 Nigerian States Pay N2.1bn Fines In 9 Months, Lagos Lead by COMPAQ(m): 9:58am On Nov 27, 2023 |
Ferdinandu: If it goes to the officers, then in all likelihood you haven't paid the fine, but a bribe, cos it will have been negotiated lower. Eg if the official fine is N20k and you paid N5k, you've paid a bribe, not a fine. If the official fine is N20k and you paid N20k to the police officer on the spot, then you might as well have paid to the official channel, cos what was the point of paying the police guy cash, knowing fully well it enters his pocket and you save nothing - except maybe time and convenience. But it that's the case then you are part of the problem in Nigeria. |

FreeStuffsNG: Exactly my thoughts ... a matter of enforcement. There is soooo much money Lagos can reap from lawbreakers if they continue to focus on enforcement.....consistent enforcement. How often do we now see the ehmmm .... stubborn wrong way drivers who can never change? Keep this up in all sectors and Lagos will be like any other large city abroad. 1 Like |

Balistic4: Not too big, and not in situations that put life at risks, things like seat belt, parking location, driving on BRT lane. Uniform officer is not an excuse to break the law they are more law abiding. |
