This country funny I swear.....

MT:
The Abuja high court made the determination using Nigeria constitution. If any state law clashes with the constitution, (I.e. runs contrary to the Nigeria constitution ) such state law is rendered null and void.

In this case, Lagos was trying to be half clever by testing the law. This was an affront to the Nigerian constitution which is supreme over all states law.

Lagos state will be dragged before the Supreme Court,

What about Sharia law in some northern states?

Whobedatte:
Inside one country
Another country dey inside

Inside evian, another evian dey inside.

I'm waiting for the VIO dat ll stop me first.
If I no give them problem make something do me

Werey n se yin gbogbo

If your papa na VIO, warn him not to go out to arrest any motorist

Many Nigerians are hungry and very very angry

Motorist won't mind knocking down these VIO guys

A driver who killed LASTMA some years ago is now a free man

If you die all in the name of VIO job na wasteful deaths

KAI thug wey died today na waste

Dear everyone, please forgive me for doing this but it seems that I have no choice. I'm typing this with tears in my eyes and with a very heavy heart. I'm doing this for my little girl who is asthmatic, I have exhausted my savings to buy her Seretide inhaler but at this point it has become too expensive to afford. I work two jobs to provide for my family but it never seem to be enough and as it stands I have exhausted all channels with which I can borrow money to buy it. It is sold for 18,500 but anything we can lay our hands on is perfectly okay please. Even 1k will go a long way to keep my baby girl alive please. Please my family, am on my knees, I am pleading for assistance to save my daughters life. I beg you in God's name please.. Any well meaning Nigerian whom God has touched their heart to help us, please help us. May the Almighty GOD bless all you lay your fingers on, amen.

May God bless you immensely ❤ 🙏

have you tried boiling adam apple leave and allowing her sip it or BLENDED ginger+ honey??

LAGOS is a lawless society that thrives on IMPUNITY... .. Infact, the trademark and landmarks of Lagos is Thuggery, Tout and chaos!!! VIO is another Lagos State uniformed extortionist.

badoh:

What about Sharia law in some northern states?

Section 260 and 275 of the 1999 Nigeria constitution makes sharia law legal and constitutional. It is enshrined in the constitution.

It’s not a state law as you would have assumed.

Make i see any VIO officer that will pretend as if he didn't see Danfo buses, but try to stop me.

He will surely be unfortunate that day.

I just wish individuals should start obeying only the court orders that favour them

Nazgul:
That's because VIO exists only in Lagos. Cos I've never seen VIO on checkpoints outside Lagos. So telling them not to make arrests is like spoiling business for them.

Come to Benin, people dear vio pass soldier...

So VIO is illegal in abuja but somehow legal on lagos Streets? What kinds of laws applies only for lagos and who made it necessary or legal for lagos only?

of course yes,it won't apply in Lagos because that's one of the dubious ways of generating revenue for Lagos State,funny enough private car owners are always their targets, if truly they're sincere about having right vehicles on the road,many of those danfos are not road worthy.

Kenobsky:
Agbero state.
I regretted I was born in Lagos when my father was a military officers in apapa cantonment.

Omo barracks, all you have to pay back Lagos with is hate. It's ungrateful comments like yours that make some of us patriotic Nigerians of Lagos extraction sound unintelligent when we make case for non-Yoruba and when reminded that your ilk of non Yoruba are filled with hate as reward for all the good Lagos did to them and their parents. The land has taken note of your ungrateful aniyan.

Lagos will not reward your uncouth and ungrateful kind again. It's not funny at all. What a disgusting ungrateful remark.

Lawless country

it's not our fault that poverty made you stay with us this long

We know where the attitude of gross disrespect for the courts came from 🤐

This a very simple matter nan, all VIO officers should move to Lagos, case closed 🔒

We live in a funny country where the people in power chooses the law to obey and expect the citizens to be law abiding.

Politicians and playing football with the Judiciary. The saga continues....

Such a mumu commissioner. The jurisdiction of a federal high court is unlimited. It applies federally! Such a slowpoke

IMPARTIAL:

I shock

Lagos state should be dragged before the Supreme Court,

Not all legal pronouncements are about the constitution.
A lot of legal issues have nothing to do with the constitution for or against.

The Abuja order was based on the fact that Abuja has no law empowering the VIO officers to
operate outside their office.
Lagos has such law so it should be exempt.

It will be a different case if the constitution bars VIO from stop and search operations, it did not.

Then Lagos State Should be ready to dance to the rhythm on ground. The beating of VIO will be more than LASTMA official back then. Olopa ma ko anybody. 😂😂😂😂

It is only in Lagos that we collect another driving license called Lasdri.. and it is 8,000 per year. That is the highest form of extortion.

Sheuns:
Listen to what our so called leaders say. Is Lagos laws above the Nigerian constitution? Why would VIO stop vehicles on the road? Their job is to inspect vehicles and issue road worthiness certificates.

If VIO cannot stop vehicles on the road as you ignorantly stated, then how are they supposed to inspect moving vehicles and issue road worthiness certificates?

Nazgul:
That's because VIO exists only in Lagos. Cos I've never seen VIO on checkpoints outside Lagos. So telling them not to make arrests is like spoiling business for them.

Ignorance is a disease.
VIO can be found in several states across the country.
Lagos
Ogun
Oyo
Delta
just to name a few.
Legos VIO is backed by State Law unlike FCT.
also VIO is under concurrent list meaning States can control their own VIO if they choose to.
