Re: How To Obtain Nigerian Driver's Licence by masterpiece86:
FRSC officers are just extorting money from unsuspecting applicants.

I was charged #11,500 for the licence after another officer duped me of #8,000 and issued me fake licence and the licence was later confiscated in Abuja.

#Karma will catch up with those dubious officers
