Who is fooling who

Only once has a driver ever stopped for me to use the Zebra crossing and I'm sure that person must have lived in a sane country before.

Lagos drivers no send anybody.

The bullion van got me





If you think that's a joke hit......L

It's good that there are fines for offenses but the only problem I have with this is why would the

fine for an offence in a state be higher than the minimum wage?

So someone who's probably driving his late dad's car while doing a minimum wage job can't

drive in Lagos and buy a bag of rice in the same month .

Honking the horn anyhow just to hail that your padi wey you never see in a long while nko?

At the end of the day, if you happen to fall lastma hand for the listed offence, just call them for one corner and settle them. 5k will do

tous Il fois for Lagos

True! They are always in a hurry. Driving without conscience! You have to hustle your way to cross the road, even at that one ediot will still see you in the middle of the road and refuse to press break. I just hope they impose these speed limit stuff. Lastma go chop money wella from lagos drivers.

I doubt. Those people are very serious with their job mehn. I've been caught thousand of times. Them no go waste time to tear me ticket. It's even V.I.O that's worse

One morning at Alausa Ikeja, I and some others wanted to cross the road at the Zebra Crossing when all vehicles stoopped except one bus. In his hurry, he nearly knocked the lady beside me down. When he stopped at the traffic light ahead, I went to challenge him and his response was "are you a Zebra?".

Had to report him to some Lastma guys there who quickly did the needful.

Lagos and traffic palaver, the fine just as death sentence

Who do you pay this money ? police or Agbero-task force boys ?

Fines are bigger than the minimum wage. Nigeria is a very funny country!

Gbese!
So Incomplete documents are not offences and are not punishable in Lagos? Op, go and finish what you started.

Zebra crossing ke abeg who bi zebra

What about driving without seat belt

Sometimes you realise that going to some areas in lagos in your private vehicle is not worth it. In such cases I just stick with the crazy public transport system.

Na because say you dey follow them argue. Don't claim rights, just humble yourself and smile. They'll cooperate with you.

Oh well no death penalty so we are good

what's the offence for the one who accidentally hit someone on the Zebra crossing line.

That's why lastma will always do anyhow.. Bunch of no conscience idiat..
