But you must complain.


By the way, why are you talking about Lagos?

You are the reason why we can't succeeded as a country always taken side.

Greyman11:

I laugh if you think that 4k is enough to settle 5 checkpoints, buy a car and drive it past 3-5 check points and see how much you must have spent, I travel through this road with my car and the police collect minimum of 200 naira, at one time in September on my way to Enugu, I spent roughly 20k on the road before getting to first Niger bridge, I didn't stop to eat anywhere and fuel money is not inclusive, I mean from sagamu bypass to Abor Delta State I spent about 21,600 in settlement for a car I used to travel in June too, these guys will park you by that road and delay you till you pay, you will be seeing transport companies passing, and they are sent from the north, so what they can do is delay you till 6pm, and they will tell you to continue your journey.
Custom officers that were stopping me were collecting atleast 1500 for officer on duty, it was at Benin that I now had to buy one of them cigarette and then ask him what is wrong with my custom papers, he said sincerely" your papers dey complete", still he collected 1k from me as officer on duty, so wait till you travel, driving your own car, then comment like this again if you don't know what to do with time and �

Driving in a private car from Lagos to the East is a nightmare. I can't even contemplate it.

Is too small compare to what we have btw Aba to Port Harcourt.Just a journey that was supposed to take 45minutes when the road was good but now takes more than 4 hours due to the state of the road,we have more than 30 police/Army checkpoints (N100/Checkpoint).

Bro yahoo yahoo and bet9ja is what reduced armed robbery

Igbo remain Igbo, very controversial tribe, don't mention other tribe because they are not hater of security, imagine when he is supposed to tell the IGP to beep up security outfit because of criminal activities in this festive season and he is calling for dismantling of security, you are suppose to tell the IGP to deal with indicipline and currupt officers .if a senator can reason like this what do you expect from a common man.

therajah:

5 minutes? 5 mins! Or u meant 2 minutes!!!

Not 2 minutes. Two check points within an electric pole

Imagine that is so annoying, now driving with your private car from Lagos to Owerri just because of checkpoints and their bribery collecting you will have to spend more than 14hrs because they will stop you ask you to come down check all your papers check your phone, search your bags and end up asking you for money. Before you drive 2mins again another set of police again

Why isn't there any checkpoint in northern nigeria?

Use ur head

mimilogs:
Checkpoints are better than robbery incidents Mr. Senator!!


It is better a motorist parts away with 4000naira to settle the Policemen at checkpoints than to run into an highway robbery squad.



I support the increased checkpoints if it would curb the criminal activities on the highways

Fulani herdsmen still murder n kidnap people on those roads. Shut up.

Only in rivers state you can get over hundred check point

/
I don't believe it.

It should be more than 100.

May be some of them were on break when he counted.

Throw in Customs x 10.

Police check point is nothing but #50 collection point. Our next year global rating as corrupt nation will be worst when one take serious look at the way #50 police check - collection points are ubiquitors through the country.

Do you transport arms?

How do you know it's done easily?

Will it be okay to term you an arms dealer?

I'm not an arms dealer, but if I were it would be a breeze!

50 x 60=3,000 IYKYK

100 X 45 = 4,500
50 X 15 = 750
Total= 5,250

I guess you've never heard of the name Sambo Dasuki?

From what he is implying, the checkpoints is not the problem but the extortion that takes place at the checkpoints.

So I don't see any reason to rather talk about the 60 checkpoints as headline when the extortion is the elephant in the room.

Even if it is just one checkpoint, it is still wrong for police and other security agencies to extort road users.

E pass 60.
From shagamu to benin, e b like 60 already.

Either Utazi is high as usual or.......

My brother if you own a car you'll understand y this man raised this motion....for each checking point they police collect money from motorist

And we want to attract investment. Tell me what kind of business can survive this logistical nightmare and stay competitive with offshore rivals.

We are staring our issues directly in the face completely ignorant and paralysed to the solutions so we shut our borders to make our failings psychologically tolerable. Of course it is the fault of other better run countries that we cannot make anything a success.

Just like those who choke to death on the fumes of the power generators they sleep side by side with because of the viscious cycle of ignorance and vice so Nigeria stews in the cocktail of its debilitating self circumcision.
