Good move but it shouldn't be another avenue to extort the vehicle owner...
Good move ke? Do police obey traffic rules?

VaselineCrew:
Why do you say so? Did you see the difference in how organized traffic looked in the first pic compared to the second?

Unless you mean it won't work because we don't have marked lanes on some roads.

If not, then I must disagree with you as Lane Discipline is one of the fundamental principles of safe, organized and free flowing traffic.

Even the Police in Nigeria sef don't have lane discipline on roads that have clear lane markings. I see them on lekki epe, driving on the white dashed lines all the time, it's quite frustrating that even the enforcement agencies have no idea how to drive. Traffic Poilce in Yankee would never drive on the white line unless it's an emergency. They always drive by example.
When law enforcement agent will even set up roadblocks on expressway and turn a 4 lane road to one lane in the name of "checking"

Their major focus should be on commercial buses because they are the ones that carry most Lagos road users.

These people don't even know what they are doing....
It's not the job of any police man to check the 'tools' in your car. Police job stops at the checking of your vehicle papers. LASTMA also isn't empowered to check your vehicle's equipment, only FRSC has the right to do that..
If a policeman wants to start checking your tires for validity or if you have razor blade or flashlight huh huh , just quickly tell him that's not part of his job oo cos he's just looking for something to extort you with.
These guys are just looking for avenue to enrich themselves. Imagine putting blade as list of tools for your car.... If they now find u with a blade, they would say you are in possession of a dangerous weapon

Can you just imagine this jokers. is that what is paramount.

Why don't you set up a task force on road maintenance and repairs . The roads are bad and they are here talking about checking documents.

Some grid locks are even caused by the police themselves especially on major bus stops with high vehicular movement.Igando especially...

Rather than get the commercial vehicles moving, they station their agberos who collect monies staeadily from this drivers causing backlog of traffic.

Will you check the papers and state of worthiness of commercial bus drivers ?if the answer is yes then go ahead

If not.. Abeg make una pack somewhere !!!

When motorists were given free hand, they were all passing one way especially those unruly bus drivers, I hope many of them will be forced to obey the rules. Good one

the country is cursed with useless leaders. the major cause of traffic is bad roads, big pot holes on the roads. there is no operation to fix all bad roads but there's operation check vehicle papers. How very papers cause traffic is what i don't understand.

This is another avenue to inflict pain and suffering on the already fatigued citizens of Lagos. Instead of finding solutions to the grueling gridlocks that seem to be a daily occurrence in the state these days they want to make it worse. How did we end up with the kind of thoughtless leaders we have in this nation?

We don't want any police operation in Lagos.

Everywhere Buhari's police touch turns to blood.

Whenever they want to start this rubbish they will exonerate the commercial drivers who are the real defaulters

Private car owners normally do, do the needful to avoid embarrassment

But this yellow buses don't even have fire extinguisher talk more of valid vehicle papers

Interesting.

In the mind of the Nigerian government worker (police, FRSC, etc.) what makes a tyre or spare tyre "valid"? Is it only some arbitrarily chosen age limit? Or is it treadwear/tread depth - you know, the way serious people do it?
