Finally i created time to be at the FRSC office today (Aks State Secretariat branch). With the help of my cousin that is working with internal revenue (her dept. is in charge of renewal of papers). Don't mind me, these details is gonna make sense shortly.
We met a few of the FRSC guys to make enquiry, some declined to speak on the matter saying they don't wanna get into d mix. Others just said I shld just go ahead and pay. Another lady said that Eket and Ikot ekpene had been told to get a new plate. When I decided to reasoned further there that only 2 LGAs cannot just be told that, what about those cars that will be driving from d other places into those place? she realized how unsound what she said was and said we go meet some guy that is heading a dept. In internal revenue. After narrating my ordeal to the man, and asking all d ryt questions like 1) Sir, if there is a circular to this effect let us know before u can start prosecuting offenders. 2)why is your office still renewing papers for old number plate (recall my cousin's dept.? Saw such at her desk ) if u intend to phase them out? 3) Don't evn try to come up with d argument that there is a letter for some 2 or 3 LGAs when we r talking about FRSC (FEDERAL) thus making it a national not a state decision. Well he couldn't provide prompt answers to those salient points except that he scribbled them down and promised to raise it at a meeting and that the state was losing revenue cos people went to other states to renew their papers so they had to jettison that idea of forcing the new plates on motorists. Finally I was referred to their headquarters along nwaniba; will find time to be there too tomorrow or Monday.
Not about the money, I just want the right thing to be done. Felt happy when I exposed a few of them today at Ikot ekpene Rd. Saw FRSC Marshalls and some bus drivers gathering, decided to stop since I was walking. Behold d altercation was about expired tyres. The officers were saying that any tyre from 2014 is already expired. I just quietly got to check theirs...hmmm it was reading[b]4013[/b] i.e since 2013. When I pointed it out, they were saying I don't know how to read it..I for mad. Told them u can confuse these bus drivers but not me! When they saw that d drivers have started getting my attention, they entered their vehicles and zoomed off (2 for that matter). I just hate exploitation!!!!
Sorry for the long read. Just hope the Mods (don't know what criteria they use) can put this up so Nigerians can learn

Chess and Scrabble.

Do you play on lichess? U can post ur username so that one of us learns some new tricks

anjilgreat:
Scrabble and Chess.. I love games that make me think and task my brain.

I used to love playing soccer/football video game but I lost interest because my husband was always trashing me when I played with him.

Do u have a Lichess Account?

Anymore tangible information I can be armed with? Cos I wanna try and get to their office today or Monday

Thanks guys..I believe the Mods will do the needful.
@urose93 good morning. Still waiting on hearing from you cos I have not attempted anything till I'm sure I am not being extorted

urose93:
Have you paid the fine already?. Where precisely in Uyo so that I can know the team involved. was it in Oron road, Ikot Ekpene road, Abak road, Aka road, Udo Umana road? etc. How much were you charged? prompt response pls

That was at abak Rd, near the state Secretariat
I have not paid the fine yet
Was charged 3 thousand naira

If I have your email, I can upload the booking ticket for you. Didn't know how appropriate it is to put that up here since some personal info is on it.
Sorry about the delayed response. Will have to be refreshing hourly nw. And thank you for ur time

urose93:
Are you typing this still on the frsc check point, or you vehicle has been impounded already? Have you been booked?. If yes, with what offence(s). Let's know where this is happening. More update please

Thank you.... That happened during d day.
I had been booked. The offence is that I am using an old plate.
Location is Uyo, Akwa Ibom State

Drove into a FRSC checkpoint today; with all manner of confidence since I am sure every of my paperwork and other stuffs are intact. One of the officers flagged me, requested for my driver's license which I gave to him (d original). To my surprise, he went to write a ticket. When I asked why he is issuing me a ticket, he replied with "your vehicle is to be impounded because you are using the old number plate". I was really shocked at this point cos I am not aware we were to change our old number plate anymore since it was resolved sometime ago (except for those that are buying a new, tokunbo or used vehicle). Not to mention the 'millions' of vehicle that were passing us bearing d old number plate, some of which he will flag, check other stuffs, smile and let them go.
So please I am asking if we were again told to change d plates, since I have not heard it being announced. Cos I feel I wanna be extorted.

justtoodark:
let it out....i know you would love to abuse me too...

fact remains...nigeria is a dangerous place....

better let sars the way they are.....not all police squads abroad carry i.ds..

they dont have the problem of criminals using their names...

una just dey yarn dust....many criminals were caught in nigeria using police uniforms to extort money...

you do know that fact,right...??

Evn though u have a point...but if we want to toe this line of argument, what about d military that wear name tags and number, why are they not being hunted by criminals and terrorist?

Ranks007:
its not about efcc, he agreed with udom to seal up all loopholes and descrepancies. He is loosing grip on his authority and power over that state. Secondly have you forgetten there was a time he went underground to join forces to oust gej in order to av d vp ticket?

He is lusting for the seat of saraki. No humilty, full of guts, prideful, boasting and very diabolic. His way of politics is similar to the drug barons. But he is a cheerful giver.

Been reading ur stuffs. You seem to know what u r saying.. folks that don't know won't understand

Nairaland and by extension the mentality of many a Nigerians amazes me...we should all understand that we don't know everything and that's why we keep learning. If u come up with a fact and another person disproves it with a better fact, it doesn't take anything to say "oh I didn't see it that way" and everyone moves forward. Instead of trying to slander one another. don't think Dalton, Darwin and their likes reasoned like this when their laws were modified

Have and issue. My what'sapp database files is always to the tune of 135-240 Mb (only one of those files, and they accumulate). So I always need to delete them to have space on my phone. But what I see on other folks phones are just 2Mb or so. How can I resolve this?

Still thinking hard

jaxxy:
Another eye witness said the tanker was reversing now this one says he tried to avoid running into a danfo bus and fell.

I noticed that also..I believe we will hear more as survivors will be recovering from the shock.

We actually do need to up our safety measures. It's surprising that plenty of these commercial vehicles do not have side mirrors. I wonder how u would be driving a BUS without side mirrors on both sides

Just wanna ask a simple question...who is supposed to check the safety indices and road worthiness of these tankers and other large vehicles? Is it FRSC? Cos I have never seen such before. All they do is 'disturb' small vehicles

Can't complete my application. Always showing Access denied.. login to continue. Is there a way to get around this?

I think Nigerians should learn. Before throwing jabs and challenges here and there, be sure what you know is correct. Even when it is, still humble yourself and learn

Xbolmax:
log out and login it will show your full info.
Thank me later

This helped me too. Thanks.
But on my selected device field....they r saying "you has no device" (sic). What could that mean?

Successful with OTP, login, password generation, passport and I'd card upload. After this point, my profile is showing some codes in all the fields. Pls how do I resolve this. Someone made the same complain up there

Seems most people using Glo sims to get their OTP are having similar error messages. That's the same thing I am passing through. Please can this be resolved

Did you read that last line? All fees are must be paid......
What a shame!!!

Upon all the millions, they can't construct simple grammar. We have a long way to go

barajumbo:

Yea.... question were quite simple...but what do u mean by we shld ".... photocopy our documents cos we might submit them.." when we r home already. Nobody told us to submit anything

HaneefahRN:
They only asked for the printed form at my centre.

Thank you so much...your reply was so timely cos I had already cancelled going. Lo and behold, it's just the printed form that was sighted. Thanks one more time and God bless you.
PS. They didn't collect anything from my center (amongst the stuffs they requested). Hope it's like that in all

mistrshene:
Which documents are they strict about

Can. Someone help answer this question pls....cos I no get some.... haven't been issued id card yet, no course form or result for cgpa

Pls I need clarification...I actually got admission last year into a post graduate program. But due to strikes and all that, many things were not processed by the school. For e.g I have not been issued i.d card, no course registration etc. Any need to stress myself and still go for the scholarship screening (I had applied already)?

Very encouraging

That's so sad. Having a problem with d reporting though. "......right inside her car...." Was the gas leaking? Where was the driver? How close was she to the cylinder? Well we'll never know now.
