If the police had shot them you will be d wan that will kill police and shout end police

VaselineCrew:

How can we have such a useless police squad that can't even GIVE CHASE?

madridguy:
During the era of Gov. Fashola, no one dares try nonsense but immediately Ambode took over, he scattered everything and the current governor his even burning everything.

Wish we can bring back Fashola.

Yesterday in Lekki, I saw upwards of 10 cars running a certain RED light at around Jakande area while I was waiting my light to turn GREEN.

What made this especially painful is that there was a squad of police right besides the traffic light. What were they doing? They were just sitting down and gisting on their pickup.

Can you imagine? In what other country will people run red lights right in front of police and the police will just be laughing with Ak47s in their hands? and it wasn't just one car, but multiple cars totally disregarding their RED lights.

Are we so primitive that we are now totally averse to Law and Order in this land? That the police won't even make an attempt to maintain traffic rules unless at their own convenience? Unless traffic is at a standstill via checkpoints? is that they only time police would do traffic work?

Imagine how dangerous it is to be driving with confidence because the light in front of you has turned GREEN, not knowing that a MANIAC is about to smash into you because he ran his RED light and worse still police doesn't give a flying fvk

I would have taken a picture and posted here, it was such a disgusting sight as some of the cars that ran red lights drove right past the police squad.

How can we have such a useless police squad that can't even GIVE CHASE? What good is a police squad if all they do is park their car at a junction and gist inside?

What good is that?

Oh my Nigeria...


God helps us!

... You haven't stop for a red traffic light and patiently expecting it to turn green for almost an hour before realizing it that it's malfunctioning... One day you gonna be in that situation, what will you do.... Jump the light or wait....
Actually it's not good to disobey the traffic light.. But in this country, many things are crazy...

bro, I was born and bred in Lagos, but also lived outside Nigeria for a while

It's just frustrating seeing laws broken and broken and broken and the enforcers just sitting down, literally.

I have no where else to voice out my complaints, it's just sad bro.

Do you know how many times someone has almost crushed me because they ran their red light as mine was green and they will just be laughing, I guess they know that there is no punishment whatsoever for their crimes, so they might as well laugh as they put everyone else in danger.

Some will even run through the RED light with GREAT speeds that you'd think their lights were green.

Accidents that could be easily avoided.

Nigerians will break traffic light, dispose trash inappropriately but will curse politicians for stealing money

I dey tell you... 2weeks ago when he came to Oshodi because of that tanker incident at Airport road that affected the bridge. He was dishing out stern warnings giving them 2weeks see as people dey fear. Dem no say Fashola doesn't take nonsense...

Rugaria:
The main problem with Nigeria is not the absence of good laws.. it is the unwillingness of the government and her institutions to vigorously enforce her laws. . What you noticed can only happen in Nigeria. It's in Nigeria that a man might commit murder, get arrested by the police, but still manage to get "bail" and subsequently evade justice! Many violent criminals get arrested and released at will in this country, so much so they become career criminals, aware that irrespective of their heineous crimes, they will still find a way to manipulate a broken system to wriggle out of jail if nabbed! And that's why crimes are high! The realisation that purnishment will NEVER be severe will always embolden vicious characters willing to take to crime..

VaselineCrew:


Oh my gosh, EXACTLY! So you know!

We can try to overlook it, but how many things will we overlook in this country?
