And I used to said presido's wife isn't speaking well....

Sam xiu lee: But we all know that anyone who resist arrest from the authorities(police,army,even lastma and ferma)will be treated the same way same thing happens in Europe and most especially,the us,police there will beat the hell outta you and restrain you if you dare resist arrest.Our danfo bus drivers are too reckless,they drive recklessly,break all the traffic rules with impunity,and in most cases when they break the law and sight an official,they try a getaway and crush anyone on their way.

Dreamytosin: You better keep your mouth shot cuz your own grammar is more worst

"More Worst".....

A committee should ßξ set up ASAP to look into this endemic spread of toxic grammar on NL.

lastpage: The Danfo Driver was probably saying "if no be Govt Uniform, Oooniweere O! i be grandfather of Weere ni!"

Actually, its not just LASTMA guys only, 99% of everybody in one form of "Govt Uniform" or the other, think they are "Gawd" and can behave just as they like.

Today, l nearly ran over a VIO (Vehicle Inspection Officer) who jumped in front of my vehicle (luckily, l had cited a traffic light about 300meters ahead and my leg was already "naturally itching" for the break-pedal, so l was able to halt in-tme otherwise, "he is Suya"!

I motioned him to my window but he still stood in front of my vehicle, right in the middle of the road.
When his folks realize that they cant intimidate me further, they came to my window and l told them:

My guy you really make sense, I've had similar experiences with law enforcements officers , who cares more about putting one into trouble than addressing issues and even having value for their irreplaceable lifes. however, i want to ask you about the mentality of an educated Nigerian to being corrected not to talk of being arrested ? Moreover, have you ever had a sane encounter with an average Danfo driver in Lagos ? RThen you'll see the reason why at this moment in time, the kind of attitude that goes with LASTMA nay law enforcing in Lagos requires you to be aggressive. Let's be frank, we don't really value orderliness and gentle-manliness in Nigeria, ( e no dey inside us). Sometimes which is in the most atimes, a show of force as seen here will suffice. Like someone said earlier even in the US you resist arrest, you'll be treated likewise if not worse especially if you show slight resistance or aggression.

"Even if this one does not value his life, l do value his life. Can you please tell him that he does not need to ATTEMPT SUICIDE just to stop vehicle for checking. All he need do is "motion me to move to the right side of the road, using his hand, from a safe distance or from the road side".

His Boss said he needed to jump in front of "a moving vehicle" because "some drivers do not stop"
......and l responded that even if a driver refuses to stop...or if there is a 'risk of flight' by a driver, why not "Mount a camera" across the road such that it reads-off the Registration Numbers of cars (or even their complete picture...ANPR) as they pass and this can be used to "TRACE SUCH VEHICLES" from the Govt's "Auto Reg" database!

But they would have none of that! The expression on their faces and demeanor oozed "THUGS!"

After checking my "particulars", l was asked to go.... (Not before reminding me that my "OJODU-FRSC-issued authentic" Driver's license was a FAKE!.........since it was not issued by the VIO!! Is their disagreement/power-tussle" my own problem?) ....so l looked him in the eye and said 'You think this is worth dying over'?

This is what we get from the "Area-boy" Politics of Tinubu era!
I looked around and l can say that around 90% of our "Ward Chairperson's" are Danfo/NURTW Touts! Aboput 70% of our LGA Chairmen are same!

So, in a country where the 'educated and enlightened' are ruled by the "illiterate thugs and criminals"....What do you expect?

Lastpage!

Fhemmmy:

I noticed that the govt, regardless of the level is blamed for everything at all times . . . So again, why not blame the gentleman in the pix and leave Fashola out of this.

O soldier: Animal, dont you see that the driver is resisting arrest. fool

mallorca: Lagos is working
