so you see this as a norm?

Well it depends on what your definition of norm is...from my teenage level down to adulthood that has always happen...a personnel from the force is regarded as a staff in public buses and they don't pay T fare ...that to me is a norm

CXLVII:
The NURTW dude was cursed that morning.

idupaul:
That's an NURTW dues collector and what he is doing is in no way Illegal ..the only illegal thing I see is a naval rating abusing his uniform and forcefully abducting a citizen for no reason other than he was a passenger in a bus and believes that bus doesn't need to pay dues

Something wrongly done repeatedly, does not make it right.

You sabi them well well. No be lie

leobrownish:

serves him right. I wonder why touts always have full rights to collect money like say na dem citizens do election for....

It is legal for them to collect those dues. Dont comment on things you know nothing about.

Serve him right? So, your demented mind tells you it is right for a military man too slap a civilian?

Your mind is really demented. Upside down and lawless state of Nigeria has turned your brain upside down.

You now see abnormal things as if they are normal.

ki02020:


I guess you don't stay In lagos if not you will know the union worker should have respect the fact that there was a navy personnel in the bus and let the bus go which is the norm but the witches in his village were after him so he didn't know the right thing to do

Kindly show me which part of Lagos law book is it written that a bus carrying a military man must not pay dues?

You are one of those Nigerians with the mind of a slave.

idupaul:


I stay in Lagos ..it's at the discretion of an NURTW dues collector to pass a bus on dues if he wants ..there is no law in Nigeria that says when a military personnel enters a bus the bus shouldn't pay its dues ..let's stop supporting impunity ..if they born him well he should go to airport and say he has boarded a plane so the plane will not pay its airport dues

Bros, pls read that ur write up again, quote me if u know it made no sense...

so, there is a law in the Nigerian constitution that permit NURTW to extort money from commercial vehicles abi

ChangeIsCostant:
bro... dem no born NURTW official well to collect fees from a bus with a military personnel. even tho na traffic warden dey inside the bus sef.... that is Lagos for u

You should ask yourself if that is proper or not. Stop supporting nonsense

ki02020:



That you statement should be directed to the Union worker...he should go and collect dues at the airport as well na

It is disgusting that Nigerians who are supposed to speak up against wrong doings are the ones supporting it. Don't you feel you are saying nonsense?

ERCROSS:

Do U know that NURTW is a union? Do you know that bus drivers are members of that union ? Do you know that they all agreed to pay thier daily dues as part of being in the Union? And yet you call it extortion..have they ever come to meet you in your car to pay the dues

figoperch:


I'm sure you understand what 'legality' really means.

For clarity of doubt, I repeat, Nigerian laws recognise NURTW as a LEGAL LABOR UNION guided by set down rules and regulations.
They have due/revenue collectors just like any other LABOR UNION.

Whatever they use their revenues for is a different topic entirely.

A Naval Rating assaulting a genuine member of a LABOR UNION while going about his legitimate business is very wrong.

Let's not digress.

The National Union of Road Transport Workers is a Nigerian organisation which functions as a mixture of a public transport company, street gang, and a transport worker's union.

The organisation raises fund through several methods, but the largest of these is charging fees - of approximately 20 Nigerian Naira at illegal checkpoints, and from local shop owners.

A large number of the NURTW have been arrested in recent months after a government crackdown on these unregulated fees, after the government embarked on a plan to stop people from collecting dues outside motor parks.[1] These people are known as agberos.

Sorry, u are talking like a mumu, I mean you need I-sense

Norm is not necessarily right... and besides not paying for transport service is one of the privileges enjoyed by the force men

You are clearly the senseless one that thinks it's okay for military men to beat up civilians on the slightest excuse..you are part of the problem so I send sense to u

Well if you say am saying nonsense then I wonder what make sense to you...not paying for public transport is one of the privileges enjoyed by the men in uniforms...even LAWMA workers who are not force personnel don't pay for BRT fare

Wikipedia reviewers definitely failed to see the contextual meaning of our words.

'Agbero' is a yoruba word which translates to someone who sources for passengers for a vehicle.
On the other hand, 'agbero' as a street word translates to a tout.

That there are numerous 'agberos' impersonating a NURTW revenue collector is not in doubt.

However if the NURTW official is in his legitimate beat, Navy F- UP.

Mind you, ' ANYbody can edit Wikipedia to say ANYthing.

NURTW is LEGIT.

Did you even read the story well ..who told the naval rating to pay anything..you are just a naive person I guess

My dear brother did you reside in ibadan, kebbi or anambra, if so u can't knw what we are discussing here, as a military personnel he don't need to pay for the fare if he wish. But since he'z not going to pay and d driver is going to give d agbero money, that will be shortage on d driver's side.

It is one of those unwritten laws.

There is no law against sticking a finger in a boiling water.

He just learned the law in a hard way without a law degree.

I may as well tell you that as military men,when they get to the airport,they are exempted from paying tolls at the toll gate and some other payments civilians make...so even at the airport, they have right there..

all the buses, he HAD to prove stubborn with THAT one ba

If the navy personnel was putting on his normal camouflage uniform, the mumu nurtw wouldn't have been stubborn initially. With his babyface and that uniform, he thought he's a secondary school student.

All I can see are 2 animals wearing different uniforms,if other civil servants can pay their fare,what stop a navy officer from paying his tfare too?

idupaul:


Its usually done in goodwill and it's not their right . If he has a reasonable CO he will sleep in guardrail for kidnapping a man doing his legal work

I guess ur one of dem wats d right of nurtw to ur own? Dey collect free money marry ten wives n buy wat ever dey want abi dey use it to repair roads or build facilities for citizens?
