Lynx001:

ornicus:


for your own sake, you should retrieve your number plates if you sell your car. otherwise, accidents , robberies or crimes etc involving your former car can be traced back to you by our men in black

It was "CHIP WHIP"

No advantage of a particular state motor vehicle number plate over another. A board called Joint Tax Board was formed in 2004 (Personal Income Tax Act) led by FIRS and all States board to harmonize all taxes, including road tax and motor vehicle documentation fees.

Meanwhile, Lagos State as the commercial nerve centre and port of entry for 99% of vehicles generate over 80% of vehicle registration in Nigeria.


Lagos State is the first state to computerize the motor vehicle License documentation making it seamless and can be done even by banks across the state. Other States should have catched up by now but .......... Funningly, Lagos State hasn't fully computerize the Certificate of Road-worthiness.

Craftily, Lagos State added SMS fee #200 claiming they send 3 SMS messages which is never sent, isn't SMS even #4 and bulk SMS cheaper! (Calculate #200 on each of the millions of vehicles registered and renewed in Lagos). Also Radio License fee should be collected by Local Government, Lagos charges #500 for that annually.

In essence, it is more expensive to register and renew vehicle documents in Lagos.

1. It’s the second hand value advantage and Lagos command respect. Many people prefer Lagos numbers because it boost how people see them when they travel to their places eg the Igbos . When they go home for Xmas they’ll rather travel to the village with a Lagos number than travel to the village with a plate number from eg Bornu or Ondo .

2. Also when people see your plate number they 50% of the time assume that’s where you come from. So if you drive an ekiti plate number in Lagos people will assume you are from ekiti state etc. So if you’re to sell you will struggle to sell with ekiti number as many people don’t like to change plate number.

3. Also security. Imagine am trailing or watching your movement, I can tell someone stay here and watch out for a white Toyota with Enugu plate number . That’s pretty easy to get you. But if I say watch out for a Toyota with Lagos number, the person go watch out tire as there are thousands of Toyota with Lagos number.

4. Lagos police most of the time will harass or bully you if from your numbe they know you’re not from Lagos. They assume Lagos people are smarter and crooks. But from your Ebonyi number they think you don’t know a lot.

Beeron:
Get Lagos so that if you want to do Uber, you car won't be flagged for showing other state name but Lagos. I know that's dumb but that was just what popped in my head as am waking up to your question. Maybe If I think when am fully awake, I would know why Lagos plate is useless.

nzeobi:
Get Abuja, kano or sokoto number, and see as police go de fear you

mu2sa2:
I would advise you get the plate number of the state where you will drive around in most of the time. Police at checkpoints tend to target vehicles with out-of-state plate number. So, a lot of your time is wasted at police checkpoints. But if you will be driving across the country a great deal, i think Abuja plate number is cool. If your movements will be mostly in a particular geographical zone, get the plate number of a state in that zone.

No advantage at all, it is too expensive compare to other state ..

Bought my car in Lagos with Lagos plate number and took the car to the north. Police always ask me to park and ask me "from where" "to where". Even KASTELEA in Kaduna always stop me.

Since a month ago that I got a Kaduna plate no, my hometown precisely, police don't stop me, even the KASTELEA guy that stopped just asked, "are you from GWT or its just a number. We ended up introducing our selfs and our respective villages.

I believe Abuja ABC is the most respected number in Nigeria. I don't know how much Lagos no is but Abuja ABC is even more expensive than all plates even when compared to other Abuja nos.

OP I know what is in your mind, you want to have a Lagos Plate number and look like a VIP when you drive around other states

Nvc078:
Yes...if you reside in Lagos state,the renewal procedure is relatively easier
