Wetin u expect man must chop...but our policemen no dey try at all

That is the least stopped in Abuja I can confirm.

autojosh:
After watching the trend at several police checkpoints, I was able to conclude that the Nigeria policemen prefer to stop SUVs… Well, that after the Okadas sha.

I didn’t ponder for too long before 2 reasons came to my mind. I’d like to share them and also get more reasons from you guys in the comment section..

1. Tinted Windows
As we all know, a large chunk of SUVs come with factory tint windows (Privacy Glass). This has made the Men In Black to fall in love with them on Nigerian roads.. Because the drivers may have fake tint permit or may not even have at all. Policemen have been using this tint thing to chop for some time now and I guess it’s not stopping soon.

The only way to escape constant harassment is to have a valid tint permit whether you drive an SUV or a mini car.

2. SUVs Are For Big Men/Women
There is a popular believe that anyone who drives an SUV is rich. What a myth! Anyways, it seems the uniformed men believe there is a higher chance of something dropping from the owners of SUVs. Sometimes, they even chase after you in those Danfo buses they’ve chartered for the day.

So if you are an existing or a potential SUV owner, be ready for a little more taxing depending on the areas you drive to.

Let’s know if you have the same thought and additional reasons.

I totally disagree with this post... Naija police officers hardly stop SUV's...

Just one post from the OP, and it made front-page? The way NL dey do these days taya person.
E be like say na here for Nairaland Buhari dey hide.

Anyway, just yesterday, some Federal SARS guys used their vehicle to double cross one really sleek Benz at Ikeja. In trying to double cross it, they scratched d paint a little. Like 3 of them jumped down with bulletproof vests n all gra-gra.

They came down and saw one young guy at the wheels. They asked him to come down but when he came down, he was a mechanic wearing overalls. He went to look at the dent and looked at it. Thereafter, he used his phone to make a call. Thereafter, he gave the phone to one of the SARS guys.

I don't know who he called, whether it is our father in Heaven or our father in UK, but you needed to see these SARS guys begging. They tried to clean d scratch, but it was still obvious. See SARS dey clean motor with mechanic standing back.

This can't be true coz dem no go even allow u make call

The mechanic not only made calls, they spoke to whoever he called on the phone.

Oga, forget. Their vests had F-SARS written on it. This mechanic called someone on phone and the person spoke to the SARS guys. They were begging.

It was when the guy came down in mechanic overalls that people started laughing. When he saw the dent, be called.

On the contrary the reverse is the case, at least for me. Before I I drove a Honda Accord EOD for 5 yrs and I'm almost certain to be stopped at any checkpoint. But since I bought a pilot last year I have had peace of mind from men in blacks. I have never been stopped for once at check points. With the eod I was afraid to even overtake policemen when driving behind them, and even when they drive past me they always make a u turn to chase me and then stop me. But with the pilot I overtake them anyhow they don't come after me.

Out of 10 times they stop me, I have only stopped for them once and I came down from the car vibrating and shouting at them for wasting my time. Omo, see begging by policemen, they couldnt even ask why they stopped me again. I come pity them, and tell them to escort me to ATM make I bless their weekend.

You need to see policemen shouting, "Oga bless you for blessing the police force". I come ask them una be pastors now ? Come see laughter.

N/B: Dont try it in mainland, na only for VI/Ikoyi/Lekki we dey do this one.

I can assure you OP that all the time i drove in nigeria, police never stoped me, the only time i was stopped by road safety people was because my passenger had no seat belt on, and yes! It was an SUV mercedes bluetec 2016 (it is my brother's car by the way i can not afford it) that's all.

Wow!!! Sha like i said no be highlander or venza

They don't actually stop you, if you use a clean expensive SUV, unless it have tinted glass. The only thing you'll get from them most times if they do stop you is "oga anything for us?".

OP you know it and everybody knows lt.Why didn't you add it up there, Why...Why.

U for snap am na.

Acually my first choice was Lexus rx330 but then recession came in, dollar became scarce, cars became very expensive and I didn't want to buy salvage... only clean title, so an accident free rx330 became out of my budget. Then wanted to settle for Highlander but the price does not worth its features, u can imagine a Highlander is far more expensive than a pilot of the same year when naturally the pilot is a better buy, better specs, more luxurious. And since I know how Honda works with my experience with EOD I just kukuma settled for the pilot.

AntiWailer:
Are u sure they stop SUVS any how ?

They are scared and not sure of who is inside oo.

Unless they catch u doing something against established laws.

Like making call or something.

Infact, l use to wonder what makes this Policemen to avoid stopping me when l am driving (mostly a new black Pathfinder LE)!

At times l just want to harass them a bit, so l was always hoping they would flag me down but even when l drive very close (and slowly) to them with the hope they would stop me, they just pretend they didn't see me...... and that really annoys me a lot!
I just feel the urge to run them over at times .. but l know that would be illegal and against the law.

Mind you, l cant be caught on the wrong side of the law (Documents, Seat Belt, no Phones while driving, e.t.c) but l just want them to flag me one day so l can really harass them for what they do to other people.
