So private citizens are free to just decide where others can park?
I can understand if you are blocking someone’s driveway, but not just arbitrarily.
>

Don't citizens have the right to stop anyone from parking in front of their house?

You are very correct..but its totally wrong for a stranger to park in front of smone else house for hours....as a retired general....so many tinz can be used to nail him down....he's one of obasanjo's boiz....apart from DAT....its totally wrong for him to park there....HV said it bfor the car mite be a stollen one....bomb can be inside....dead bodies also.....so u want to implicate the general.....its totally wrong.

HV had of a situation( old fuel bunkering dayz) where a car was parked in front of someone else house.....and the car just cut fire surprisingly.... It affected the other cars and the house bside...my friends DAT is the owner of the car can't even come out to say his the owner....he came home back to narrate what happen.

What abt doz old dayz in politics. A car parked in front of ur house...police just came to surround the car and forcefully open the boot and found a dead body inside....

All the stuff you mentioned can happen almost anywhere...
So, going by that reason, people may not be allowed to park anywhere.

Your property is just that - your property! And in this case, it is clearly demarcated by the fencing and gate. Anything outside that gate is PUBLIC space, which only the government (local or state) can control with appropriate public notices. If private citizens are allowed to arbitrarily control what happens on PUBLIC property and in PUBLIC spaces, anarchy would reign. Can you imagine if someone else decided that cars can no longer drive on the street in front of his/her building because the exhaust fumes might kill his/her new-born babies.

No, not if they are not blocking the driveway/gate (which would be interference with your property rights)..
The street is PUBLIC space, and if you can stop people using it you can stop people walking past your house.

So person fit park for your gate comot go flex cos you no write no parking even after telling him not to park? Man una get sense na, the journalist was wrong. You don't go to a man's house and park infront and say there was no parking sign....e Come be naval officer house.

They didnt park at the gate.
You either didn't read the post or you read it and did not understand what was written. It's not about anyone having sense, its about you having understanding.

A naval officer has equal rights as you do in the country.

The journalist weren't wrong at all. The fact that you TYPED that they were wrong to park on the side of the road shows how hopeless continuing this reply with you.

In case you aren't aware, your property stops at your fence, even the gutter belongs to the public and can be used by anyone. You have right to your gate and driveway. The road/space running outside your fence is not part of your property.

Plz for God sake.....don't allow such to happen to u...especially wen u are a high profile person in the society. Tell the person to find somewhere else....the beta for u.

9jaRealist:
So if the person driving in front of you on the street could be a “kidnapper or assassin” you can stop people driving on the street?
The front of your property is PUBLIC space, and in the absence of a PUBLIC notice by the authorities, can be used as parking space.

See logic! I can't laugh. Stop been sensational with the truth. You can't twist anything here. By your logical reasoning, Just because it is a public road and no "No herding" Fulani herdmen can walk their cattle on it too and ignore safety because they have rights. Why is there "No parking, loitering, and/or waiting" and yet there is no "no driving" sign on our road? Na question I ask o.

We are talking about parking in front of private residence and this one is talking about driving.

Go and park in front of Dangote house and say because there is no "No parking" sign, you a
re free to do anyhow. Everyone has a right to what happens in front of their house. Go figure that. When they call police on you just try and put up a fight you hear.
When you go abroad, go and park in front of people's private apartment and when they ask you to remove your car just put up a fight and see whether the police wont be call on you.

You cannot park in front of people’s apartments abroad (or even in Nigeria) because that’s PRIVATE property, but you can certainly park on the PUBLIC STREETS surrounding such property (with the caveat yet again that you cannot block ingress/egress to the property).

You seem to be wrestling with two rather basic concepts: (1) the area OUTSIDE your fenced property in front of your property is PUBLIC property; and (2) the public’s use of PUBLIC spaces still has to be for LAWFUL/designated purposes (thus you cannot go and build a house on Third Mainland Bridge nor pitch a sleeping tent on the sidewalk outside the rear-admiral’s house).

Meanwhile, as I have said severally, just because so-called Big Men can get away with impunity in ‘lawless’ Nigeria does not mean that it is lawful. Thus, Dangote CANNOT go abroad and have someone ejected from the street or public property in front of their fenced property. If you watch foreign news, you will see reporters camping with their equipment in front of people’s property but not on the property.

Bros, you’ve clearly never been abroad if you think that abroad if you park OUTSIDE of (but NOT on) someone’s property the person is free to get a couple of thugs to beat you up. If there’s a SINGULAR difference between ‘lawless’ Nigeria and the more civilized advanced Western countries it’s the notion of EQUALITY before the law. Sadly, it seems that most ordinary Nigerians are COMPLICIT in their own oppression.

Me wrestling with issues? when I am not a wrestler. Still trying to be sensational and trying to sound educated. I will drive and park a petrol tanker in front of your house since it is public property.

LAWFUL/designated activities right? The point is what constitutes lawful/designated activities. Keep on parking in front of people's house until you come across people who know their right. Are you even aware that Lagos once pass a law to stop people from parking on the road/street? It got to a stage that they start to tow cars from the street. The reason why it is not been enforced now is because most lagosians do it and confiscating thousands of people's car is tasking and will be seen as anti-people especially when most people with cars don't have compound where they can park their cars.

I will give you cases where residents called police on people who park on the street and the people were told to remove the cars. I am talking about Europe not Nigeria o. I can even give you names of streets in the mainland where you will be told point blank that you can't park your car since you want to make it rich people palava. When I am driving in and I spot you in an unfamiliar car parked in front of a building close to mine (not my building o. just and adjacent building), what I will do next is park, walk up to you and politely ask you what you are doing there. The earlier we all take it serious, the better for the country.

It is normal to park in front of establishments like banks, hospitals, churches as it will be assumed that the owner of the car is there to conduct business so these organizations have to put NO PARKING signs in front of their buildings to let people know that parking isn't allowed. Private residence on the other hand need not put a notice as it is normal for people to not park in front of the building unless you have something doing in the house. So people are expected to know without been told. That we do it in Nigeria doesn't mean it is okay.

If anything happen to your car in that street, who will you question first? People on the street especially the house in front of which the car is parked right? So people has a responsibility to watch over your car but no right to tell you not to park there Abi.

Mind you, Dangote can go abroad and ask you to leave the STREET (capitalized so you don't come talking about wrestling with issues again) in front of his residence. Nobody can start setting up instruments in front of your apartment without been questioned (not even a news broadcasters) that is why news companies go about with branded implements to for easy identification. If the people living in that street aren't convinced about your mission in the area they will call the cop on you.

Next time I will only tell you YOU ARE RIGHT and move on.

Still wrestling with basic concepts...
Obviously, if it’s against the law/public notice it is by definition unlawful. Duh!

The front of your property is PUBLIC space, and in the absence of a PUBLIC notice by the authorities, can be used as parking space.
>

Nonetheless, the proper way to seek redress is to get the authorities to take action...
Which is why the LASG (under your own example) tows away cars rather than beat up offenders. Duh!

Only in a lawless society (apparently populated by a largely lawless citizenry) that Nigeria increasingly has become do people take the law into their hands and have supposedly educated people cheering them on and arguing that their status entitles to them to greater rights and to control public spaces. As the saying goes, a man cannot climb your back unless you are bent over. Many Nigerians like you are eagerly grabbing their ankles as eager ACCOMPLICES in your own oppression. SMH

I give up on your reasoning. You just like twisting two completely different scenario together. Wetin concern parking concern protest.

Why will you come to the front of my house and start shouting Buhari must go. Wetin concern me concern Buhari? People no go wonder whether u dey okay at all... Even when there are many of you, won't people still wonder what concern me concern buhari?

If you come to the front of my house in Austin, Texas to shout TRUMP MUST GO, I will simply shout shuuu shuuu get away from there. Wetin concern me concern President Trump. If you want to complain about Trump go to Trump tower or the White House. Go to Trump tower to shout Buhari must go and see whether people won't question your sanity. At first I talked of parking and you are talked of driving. Now you move on to protesting.

There are things people need to really understand. Different things apply to parking and driving. That you can drive pass a street doesn't mean you can park on the same street. That you can walk down a walkway doesn't mean that you can loiter on that same walkway for hours. It is illegal for these homeless people to sit on the road on the highways begging but because nobody is saying anything we think it is normal. If you are a stranger on a street you can walk along the walkway on the street and nobody will question you. It is your right. Try to loiter in front of a house for hours on that same walkways and see whether the residents won't question your mission there. And when they do and call the cops on you just read your human right to them. Nobody go tell you when police come. Why do you think is is called Walkway and not Standway, Waitway or Loiterway? That is what is meant by LAWFUL/DESIGNATED purpose not what you wrote early trying to sound educated.!

That a place is called public area doesn't mean every member of the public has equal right there o. No talk say I no tell you. If I call the police on you, who do you think the police will support? You cannot come down from Kano and stand on the walkway in front of my house doing nothing for hours. Even despite the fact that some houses has their walls built far from the walkway, when you stand there doing nothing for hours police will be call in to ask you to leave.

Anyway YOU ARE RIGHT. Can I breath now?

You seem to be wrestling with the simple concept of “big men”...
FYI, big men and rich men are not synonymous (doubt the retired rear-admiral is rich).

Meanwhile, even though you have no clue as to my material status, it nonetheless further affirms your subjugated mentality that you think that being “rich too” is the most important value in life and something that everyone aspires (or should aspire) to. Such a shallow worldview.

Anyway, it was YOU who introduced the likes of Dangote into the discourse because you seem to think that big (or rich) men have greater rights than other citizens. Wouldn’t be surprised if you are one of those who support the Nigerian Senator that assaulted a woman. SMH
