It's a call for us to be diligent in all we do. Don't compromise norms, laws and ethics. If we all can apply discipline, then we can make Naija civil once more. Let's stand up for truth. Let's stand up for equity. Let's be FEARLESS!

This incidence is very unusual, even in the United Kingdom and thats why its making news.. So, I don't understand the rationale behind the assertion, "This can't happen in Nigeria"...

A Thameslink rail inspector, who once fined Cherie Blair £10 for travelling without a ticket, has won his complaint of unfair dismissal at a Watford tribunal. Arthur Harriott, 39, of Luton, was sacked for allegedly failing to take a drugs test.

All Round Gist:

Fearless London traffic warden places ticket on Hillary Clinton's Mercedes - despite five security agents ordering him to leave.

The Westminster City Council warden put a £80 penalty notice on a silver Mercedes vehicle (centre) in Central London which had taken former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton (left) to an event at Chatham House. The row was caught on camera by photographer Greg Brennan, who said five of her guards were waiting inside a Mercedes van next to her car at the time because it was raining. The warden then arrived and put a ticket on the car, prompting her security detail to jump out of the van in protest (right), Mr Brennan said.

She had earlier arrived in a motorcade of five cars with around 10 security agents, Mr Brennan told MailOnline. Her car was parked in a bay on St James's Square in Mayfair, which costs £3.30 per hour.

The warden then arrived and put a ticket on the car which had transported 65-year-old Mrs Clinton to the event, prompting her security detail to jump out of the van in protest, Mr Brennan said.

The photographer claimed he saw one of the agents angrily waving his arms and flashing his badge to the warden, who remained unflustered and continued to issue the ticket to Mrs Clinton’s vehicle.
Cllr Daniel Astaire, Westminster City Council cabinet member for business, told MailOnline: 'Despite our traffic marshal being questioned by the secret service for just doing his job, he was in the right.

'The former US Secretary of State was parked for nearly 45 minutes without paying. I’m sure she will understand that we have to be fair to everyone, regardless of their status on the world stage.

Well done man! she isn't above the law of the land! Plz give him a medal, give him a raise, give him a promotion.....he deserves it.
If na my naija police/warden, dem go even beg her to park on their heads. lol

i beg free Nigeria. This could just be an isolated case and i must commend the fearlessness of the traffic warden. He must have been carrying out his assignment knowing fully well that the system will protect him. We need to as nation develop and strengthen our institutions and free it to a large extent from influences from the powers that be.

Yes, u r rite. But a system can only be worked on from the top. Its not d kinda thing everyone can lay there hands on. Our leaders need to be told d truth. U need a level of authority to effect changes.

Nonso23: Wonderful! It shows perfect distribution of power!
Can this happen in Nigeria?

Assuming it happens.

The same Nigerians will question the motive and timing.

"We are not saying our laws should not be enforced but..."

"Why is it happening when Hilary is visiting Chatam House APC secretariat"?

"How come it is now when 2015 elections are near"?

"I smell deceit"

"I see distractions"

"Hilary carries a diplomatic passport, government is giving us a bad name" Even if she's just a mere overrated American politician.

"etc..."

That reminds me of the crazy standoff between Muammar Ghaddafi and Femi Fani Kayde at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport (Ghaddafi actually left his delegation behind in protest and started walking towards the city on foot and without any guards).

Things like this have happened in Nigeria many times, but it's given political colouration every time it happens (I'm being victimised, it's my political enemies, etc).

One of the wives of the former Senator Lakan Balogun (O-Level) representing Ogun west or so once lashed a traffic warden for allowing a vehicle blocked her car at a function in Ijebu Ode stadium. The warden wanted to show off but a colleague of his whispered something to his hearing and the man cool temper immediately. cheesycheesycheesy.
Re: Hillary Clinton Given £80 Parking Fine In London by naptu2: 1:00pm On Oct 16, 2013
I have often been annoyed at the way foreign security agents (especially US and Libyan agents) take over our airports anytime certain dignitaries visit Nigeria. Then, something happened in 2006.

There was a summit of African and South American leaders in Abuja in 2006. Muammar Ghaddafi arrived with over 200 bodyguards (including the famous "amazons" ). Femi Fani-Kayode, who was minister of aviation at the time, was at the airport. He ordered that airport security officials should not allow the Libyan security guards into the airport terminal with their weapons. A stand off ensued.

Luckily, President Obasanjo arrived the airport to receive another dignitary. He tried to mediate. He suggested that the Libyan guards should be allowed in if they registered their weapons. Fani-Kayode and the Nigerian security guards didn't like the idea and wanted to allow only 6 armed Libyan guards into Nigeria (they claimed that it was the usual convention to allow only 6 armed foreign guards). The Libyans threatened to return home. The Nigerian guards said that the libyans could return home if they wanted. Colonel Ghaddafi got angry and started walking towards Abuja on foot (without any guards). Then Obasanjo struck a compromise. 8 armed Libyan guards would be allowed into Nigeria.
