This is exactly (or even worse) what hundreds of Nigerians go through everyday in the country they are supposed to be patriotic/loyal to the authorities. The i.diots take your simplicity for cowardice and milk you dry because you never behaved like them.

Talking about V.I.O. personnels deployed to the roads, I will tell you this about them:
1. Most of them are uneducated, untrained and un-informed about their particular roles.
2. A lot of them go out without the hope of returning back home alive due to unforeseen circumstances
3. They usually smoke and drink to be high so as to behave thuggish
4. They are very poor

When talking to any of these personnel (V.I.O. and FRSC), make sure you don't laugh with them or even try to plead in any way. It makes you look like like an ATM in their eyes. Look straight in their eyes, act tough and try to quote whatever laws. If that doesn't work, be prepared for the worse, especially if you look/dress civilised. The only other thing they understand is to behave like them. What I mean is to become a super-possessed thug, and mean it.

Why do you think they hardly stop taxis or buses? Those guys smoke the same with them and are always ready for the worse.

Nigeria has gotten to a level where being a gentleman fetches you nothing but pain and anguish. Look at Oshiomhole, El_Rufai, Amaechi, Fayose, Dino Melaye, Ganduje, Festus Keyamo, etc and compare them to people like Olu Falae, Ogbonnaya Onu, etc. The more rugged you are, the better respected you become in the Nigeria of today!
Have you been in this country ahead of many?? You are damn right. Gentleman'ship' doesn't work in Nigeria.

Thank God private citizen are not allowed to own firearms in this country. If not the way Abuja VIO and are FRSC officers are brazen in their lies and intimidation all in a ploy to extort everybody, people would have been shooting them on a daily basis.

And until Fayemi added some sorts of thuggery, that's when he is respected in Ekiti an took back the gov seat.
Wike the wicked nko? Survival of the most wicked between him and Amaechi is the lesson. What about Tinubu that uses toughness to pocket Ng politics? Obasanjo wasn't in anyway a calm or gentle man.

If you are gentle you just must be wise in and out that's when you can be respected in Ng(such as Saraki and Mimiko)...

For Christians bible has said it all, the kingdom of God suffereth violence and violent people taketh it by force.

Even if you are a gentle husbandyou would hardly see the best of your wife. People tend to play on the intelligence of a gentle fellow. Family will even give you what you would hate to take. On and on.

You just must be tough... Toughness earned Trump the USA pres. seat..

THERE IS NO VIO IN SOME STATES. GOV SHOULD SCRAP THEM.
They came to Benin.
Trust Benin people.
It didn't take up to one month, they all fled after drivers in Benin kept hitting them and sending them to the hospitals.

I observed long ago that they profile uncoming vehicles before they pull you over, and their favourite are women and Young girls whom they think are softer and have either a rich husband or a sugar daddy, trust me on this, it's what i have seen on innumerable occasions

We are ourselves worst enemy, most of us in this forum will do worst if we found ourselves in position of authority, to abuse our office for personal Aggrandizement is in our blood. Let's look ourselves in the mirror and make the change. Madam sorry
Re: My Bitter Experience With VIO Officials In Abuja - Affi Bassey by owila4luv(m): 5:59pm On May 22, 2019
that's out of context rules of engagement. you can't confiscate an offender's license and still impound the vehicle. madam you can sue them at will cos you actually have 7days grace period to renew all your vehicle document according the National Road Traffic Regulation(NRTR)

This exactly what happened to me at asokoro in Abuja, what I see is that they are seriously looking for money, mine was break light bolb that was told to pay 13500,i refuse and told them to bulk me which they refused because I was ready because there is no way it will cost high they said they re helping me I told them helping should be on the road not when u have Brough me to ur office, they delayed me that I finally paid 4000
Re: My Bitter Experience With VIO Officials In Abuja - Affi Bassey by traeces(m):
Abuja VIO are officials of government probably licenced to steal and I believe strongly that the money they collect from hapless drivers goes way up probably even beyond the minister's pocket.
The attached image was for the second time they stopped, harrassed and robbed me of my very hard earned money. My vehicle papers was to expire end of April but when they stopped me, they showed me that insurance paper had expired, how? I don't know. The thieves asked me to give them something and go, I refused and they told me to follow them into their office at Area 1 to get a cover letter. My driver's licence was in one of their pocket and vehicle paper in another's.
When I got to their office, they kept me for over 4 hours. Their Oga one Mike went and was drinking his life away in one uncompleted building nearby. I went there and he was raking that office business should be carried out in the office only
At last, they made me renew vehicle papers that had not expired for #15000. In my very before, they were sharing the money.
I knew from experience that the paper they give is record for their sharing formula only as they erase every evidence of their crime. You can't photocopy it neither will they let you even snap it, they collect it at the gate. I hid to snap this paper they gave me which is here attached.
They are an organized racket of rogues and criminals and I challenge our government if we have any to look into the criminal racket of thieves that Abuja VIO is except of course they government is complicit.
Guess what, even the #15000 They collected was into a private account from my own account.
I can name other names and share phone numbers.
Of course I have long sold that vehicle.
