FXKing2012: We need these laws in Nigeria - Nigeria is too lawless.

Well some of the laws are not true.

freecocoa: I go like go UK when I get belle o .

Biko nu, who will be held responsible if someone died in the house of parliament? The dead body or his folks? Quite a wack law I must say.

njoy ooooooo. But no pass the boundary

Paroh_frey: Is No 3 really true? I doubt.

What's doubtful about it? I understand that's also the case in Sudan.

Adura_ngba:

I know its not true because I have done that before.

when did u try that?

there is nothing weird about law 8, 9, 10, 13-they are welcomed laws but 4, 5, 7, 12 are damn hilarious,lol

you will be barn for election in Nigeria if you do not join other loot,
You will be jailed in Nigeria if you are caught stealing Maggi cube
You are not free in Nigeria if you do not have loot money or 419 money to spend

no:18,same country-girls are not allowed to go to school

16. In nigeria, you can embezzle public funds and go scot-free but stray goats get arrested and detained.

Paroh_frey: Is No 3 really true? I doubt.

It's very true,that's the practice in UAE,you have to provide a copy of marriage certificate and international passport before you will be allowed to go into a hotel room with opposite sex. Not so easy anyway ,Though some fellows still dey maneuver the thing sha by sorting the hotel receptionist or attendant.

No.8 is true. You can not break the law simply because you are rich and you can afford the fine. You will pay through your nose. someone was once charged to pay 175,000 Euros that's about 35 Millon Naira. for over speeding

In the City of New York, it is illegal to greet your fellow man by putting one thumb in your nostril and wiggling your other fingers.

We don't need them at all.

6. You will get away with smoking a drug like cannabis in Holland, but if you smoke tobacco, you would be termed as a law breaker.

I like it! This is a nice one. Cannabis is herbal and it won't cause cancer,rather it is medicinal;but tobacco causes cancer and damages the lungs. Mary Jane Mheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen. roll it up!

7. A pregnant woman in UK has the privilege of urinating anywhere she pleases, even in a policeman’s helmet.

That makes the UK the best place for pregnant women, then.
Pregnant Nlanders take note.

Here's one weird and interesting law in the UK that I just found out yesterday out of curiosity. I used to see ducks and swans walking around in the UK like say dem self na citizen. dem go de even de chance human being for road self. I started wondering e be like say these animals no know say dem be better meat for human beings o! Especially the swans, they are the size and even bigger than turkeys. Me I know say if that kind tin de happen for 9ja those animals for don go extinct 50 years ago. Anyways I asked google and aparently the answer I got was that the reason swans are referred to as majestic animals is because they literally all belong the her majesty the queen of England. So a law was passed criminalising the hunting and eating of swan meat punishable by death sometime in the 17th century. The interesting thing is that the law and its punishment has not been modified till date. Sometimes I go just de look all those animals de talk for mind say if only una de 9ja una for hear am for inside pot .

simdam500: You will get away with smoking a drug like cannabis in Holland, but if you smoke tobacco, you would be termed as a law breaker.

Those dutch government people dey craze oo!
How can they make weed smoking legit, and hunger killing tobacco smoking illegal.

Atleast, tobacco is filtered and doesn't kill your brain stems, though it can give you cancer if you are a chain smoker.

Weed or cannabis on the other hand is not in any way filtered and apart from giving you a momentarily euphoria, kills the brain cells overtime. It's only advisable for people on cancer chemotherapy to help them fight nausea that is inevitable.

None is good for the body for an healthy individual. But if you must smoke, then choose tobacco - it's the lesser of the two evils IMO.

Apparently the dutch government prefers getting high to common sense. Anyways, to each it's own.

YO.Ruba man can't drive in Russia o, justThinkingLoud

In Lagos, u can't drink and drive even though the manufacturers made cup holders. The commissioner for transport defends this by referring to the US but forgetting that the US' refers to alcoholic drink.

simdam500: Small girls of Indiana, beware. You cannot dress up Ken in his toy doll girlfriend, Barbie’s clothes, for that’s a crime.

Fear of homosexuality is the beginning of wisdom. LOL!

simdam500: The conservative land of Dubai doesn’t allow 2 people of the opposite sex to share a hotel room unless they are married or closely related./

Sensible but archaic law IMO. We are in 21st century not in Victorian period for crying out loud.
Those religious crazed countries of the middle east should learn how to move with the times ASAP before it's too late.

Red-Light:
its true

No dear, No. 3 is NOT true

OMG!... Some are really funny though..
