Shikena!

True... But why auction off their vehicles?!! That's not punitive... That's lawless and downright wrong!

beardedboy:

Ignorance you say? Why not put road signs clearly?

Failure of the masses to pursue their legal right joor. Until the masses stand up for their right, Lastma and police will keep cashing out. Who will stop them?

fkj950ax:
This lawyer is as ignorant as most people making comments on this post and other posts concerning the auctions.

And like I always say, Twitter is NOT a real place. All he will get is likes and shares and a bunch of people to follow him to nowhere.

If he’s passionate about “the common man” as he pretends to, he should have made submissions as a lawyer to the public hearings (lots of them, even with commercial transport drivers who are the major victims) and made his argument.
He should have attended the debates at the House of Assembly when they bills was being debated and moving from stage to stage.

No he didn’t do all of that, but today he’s posting 8k portrait photo and typing on Twitter.

A law cannot be unconstitutional is it’s the law. The constitution is merely a set of laws passed by a parliament.

Your dumbness no be small !!!!

Omo, your mumu no be small!!! Just like the lawyer, you just talk without knowing what the law says about driving against traffic in Lagos State. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse....

You might tell us where in the US that auctioneers are shot?

Your comments are very ridiculous ...

Please gerra out if my mention

Na education be your problem.

If the traffic offense is high they should impound the vehicle for 3 months and give it back to the owner after paying N10k for security... 3 months without your car is enough punishment

The most educated fellow in your lineage cannot lace my boots. Dumbhead

The measures taken by Lagos state is very harsh there are other means of punishing defaulters than auctioning their cars off, many those are their means of living. Why don’t they fine them etc. if I see someone buying my car under auction, both me and buyer won’t enjoy the car…….

The measure is very harsh in my opinion too.Even in saner climes they make them only pay fine through their nose.. .I do not 100 percent Support disobeying rules cos some of the consequences are gravely..but,all the same l do not understand the law that gave room to auction.That law must open its face o make we see who wan use law kill Lagosians..
Abeg..oga judge tender justice with mercy next time o.

Who is this MUMU lawyer?

In Lagos State when you drive against the traffic you risk the impounding of your vehicle and mental evaluation of the driver at Federal Neuro Psychiatric Hospital at Yaba and Aro. That's what the law says.

Driving against the traffic is against the Laws of Lagos State and not a constitutional matter nor a Fundamental Human Rights matter.

But the politican convoy breaking the traffic is not against Lagos State law ọkwa ya? Anyway what do I know since I don't have any business in Lagos state for life.

Bad

When the late Afro beat king Fela came out of prison, he was reported to have said, " I am now double Fela".




Inibehe Effiong could now be said to be double Inibehe Effiong!



More trouble for the oppressors!



The dispatch with which those vehicles were auctioned off smacked of evil intentions characterized by a punitive desire rather than corrective.



Nigeria is tough already for the common man and mustn't be made worse with draconian rules and regulations.



LASG must have a human face in its approach and dealings with members of the public.



But truth be told, some motorists are incorrigible and must be used as scapegoats to serve as deterrent to others with similar recalcitrant mindset.

arantess:

Enablers and supporters of evil like you are the reason Nigeria is like this

Ignorant and emotional fools like you is the reason Nigeria can't make progress. Everything is sentimental and emotional to pigs like you.

Please educate yourself with the Lagos traffic laws and penalties below and stop disgracing your family in public.

Unfortunately, the traffic laws are often disobeyed by law enforcement officers ( Lagos State Task Force, LASTMA, Army, Air-force, Navy, NCS, Immigration, NSCDC and NPS) ranging from driving against traffic( one-way), break traffic light rules, use of ricket and unworthy vehicles without trafficator lights on the road without being arrested because they are above the law!

What happens to supremacy of law? Are the rich and mighty not bound by the same laws? Does equality of laws and punishment applicable to all? The laws are created by people for all for a better society, however, it is skewed in favour of the rich and against the poor.

Fines, community service, seizure are amongst the penalities for traffic offenders. However, there are stages of applying the penalties. First time offenders can be fined while serial offenders can be penalized beyond fines. The last option ought to be vehicle forfeiture and auction.

Instead of starting from the cause-to-effect methodology of solving societal menace, the Lagos state government did not deem it fit to fix the bad roads causing traffic gridlocks, vehicle damages and increase in cost of maintenance. The traffic enforcement agents are quick to arrest civillians and not uniform men, the poor and not the rich who violate traffic laws by accident or deliberately. Accidentally, if your vehicle break down suddenly on the highways, LASTMA officials will arrest and charge you for traffic obstruction without considering the induvidual state of mind and effort. Quite unfair!

When government fails to deliver quality service and good governance to citizenries, what punishment is given to such government? When government decided to apply the laws skewedly, what happens to rule of equality? When enforcement officers lie against civilians in order to reap off, their words versus the other, what justification do they have to nail individuals?

Until the government, agencies and citizens are all ready to do what is right, societal vices shall be on the rise! Let government make laws without selfishness, shun corruption and mismanagement on all adminstrative and capital projects to be delivered, let the laws made be supreme and equal to all, justice and progress are adopted for better society, eduucation and continuous enlightenment of citizenry is a must and punishment of offenders without discrimination is paramount to a good governance.

Say No To Crimes and Traffic Disobidience!

Oga, he never keeps quiet. Infact Akwa Ibom chief judge sent him to prison for 1 month. Oppression de everywhere.

And nothing happened. Heaven did not fall. He should gather sense from that.

lailo:
If u notice, it is only the igbos that are against what a state government decided to do to law breakers through court. Do name checking and u will see their hatred for Tinubu not really the victims. This is Lagos state for heaven sake and that's their law. You will still tell ur host how to go about their law. Why not go to anambra and debate their laws on your ancestral land. Laws that say female children do not have right to parents property Go and debate this and others, and leave Lagos alone

Inibehe Effiong is not Igbo

Inibehe is simply positioning himself for politics.

Why asking all these questions? Who is he asking on social media??

He's a lawyer and he knows where to find the answers.

Bla bla bla... because Inibehe Effiong have said so it must be true. That was how he went to say rubbish to a judge and landed himself a jail term.

Nonsense coming from an ex convict.

sanwo olu is linient to all these guys coming to lagos to disturb, this ex convict will soon be sent to another jail

God bless you sir,

Lagos State task force are terrible set of people, they go about confiscating vehicles parked in streets and close

Very wicked set of people. If you're not influencial enough and cross part with them for any reason, your vehicle is gone

clockwisereport:
Inibehe Effiong is not Igbo

but he stays in lagos, he should relocate to akwa ibom.....

You don't sound like one who's barely educated. Educated people do not talk or act in the manner you do.

By the way, going to school and acquiring pointless certificates that do not influence your way of reasoning, does not mean you are well educated. It just shows you were once a student at one point in your life.

Your beard don grow again, You go enter Lagos prison another free shave oo.

Before you make comments or support a comment as made by the lawyer, please try as much as possible to read what the Laws of Lagos State says about Driving against the traffic and what will happen to the vehicles.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse!

Lawlessness cannot be condoned or allowed in Lagos State.

. I get your point, but I don't agree with that way. If there's a law that state you will forfeit your vehicle for driving one way then that's draconic. The highest penalty apart from a fine, should be losing your driving license for a long period of time. And again not everyone whose vehicles were auctioned drove one way. You don't use a sledge hammer to resolve an infraction that a scalpel would've been Ideal for.
I listened to the head of the task force claiming some refused to come claim their vehicles. Which brings me to a previous point I made, if you sold the vehicles to cover the fines, do you give the balance of the money to the owners of the vehicles?

Let's forget about the offence that has been committed. What is even more wrong is for the government to auction people's property without proper hearing.

The very first point of progress and development is Rule of law. If the citizens are commiting crimes, should government to be seen committing crimes?

Angelfrost:

you are a phul, it was clearly stated in the constitution, the traffic law states it clearly or you don't hear English.

Thank you for educating the Mumu lawyer and all his supporters and followers!

These people will not read up on an issue or law, but always here passing comments that turns logic on its head and disgracing their families on the world wide stage.

We must all know that there are laws and those laws must be obeyed. We cannot continue in lawlessness, we must do our little parts.

Please brothers and sisters, learn, learn and continue to learn!!! open the book and read, its that simple.

So what happens to paying fine or going to jail? Why sale someone's property just because of traffic offence? There's too much jungle justice in this country.
