VIO.....Abuja motorists terrorists

Kai I was surprised when I saw people running from vio in Abuja

We have too much enforcement agencies with no bite.

I see some people in uniform and dont even know who they are or do.

thanks


I am a professional website designer...kindly check my signature

do we have rights in this country?

Op bia.. Have u ever heard of task force... Those ones are above the law.. Once dem catch u, u are guilty as charged..
Yesterday, I saw them catch over 20 cars for avoiding a big pothole around Ile zik thereby forming another lane.. Omo, na to appear for court straight.. Those guys are not smiling at all

I no even dey stop for them, their wahala plenty.

This is merely an academic exercise.

IF you have all the necessary papers no need to fear.

Informative

FRSC is not d problem but VIO. Do you no that 75% of accidents in Lagos are cause by VIO during the time of Fashola istration. There billing start from 20k but Frsc is 3k, 4k

Going by the way FRSC Parade themselves daily on our roads recently, I would say they are more after generating revenue than the safety of our roads.

I’d rather face a judge than pay a bloody fine.

Give them #500 and forget all stories

Please like how many days Grace can they give someone that his driver's license expires and secondly are they doing it in there office along sangotedo road in ajah axis please I need response ASAP

For Naija, making that kind of complain na looooooong thing!!!



One year dem no go read your letter

FRSC wicked die..... If you like beg tire dem no dey gree..
It's good Sha, dispensing your duties but not at the peril of car owners.

Why posting letter?
Go ahead and publish on social media.

The only Niggerian with any right is a rich niggerian. Dont get me wrong. The less privileged like it like that

Give them N500 and jejely

Small "kudi", "owo", "ego" go solve either guilty or not. Thanks

The thing is their enforcement is selective... We law abiding citizens get stopped more than buses and transport vehicles they are obviously not road worthy, I refused to stop for one recently because of that reason... He ignored a dead crawling vehicle in front of me obviously because he felt he will gain more if I don't have what they demand.
I also think they should upgrade and get more tech to automatically numbers, names, vehicle id and not just asking for the physical license. Driving under the influence of alcohol is also a major problem which I think should come to the fore.
Standing on the road will not cause the change they need, they should just educate the public more and install cctvs to capture erring plate numbers and cars which can now be stopped even at a different location or prevented from renewing when it is due

What is the difference between a FRSC and VIO?

because even VIO does all motioned above.

That is how one police officer stopped me one day and was asking for my drivers license

Me: Oga police I can't show you my drivers license, you can only asked of my particulars just to be sure is not a stolen car.

Police officer: are you teaching me my job?

FRSC and Police are struggling for the award of BEST EGUNJE COLLECTORS OF THE MILLENIUM.

The now do it very openly ooooo, their mobile courts na fundraising exercise.

cool. but everything na money money nowadays. no time to stress for nothing
