I'm getting my first vehicle soon God willing and want to know if there are certain privileges one stand to en if a vehicle is ed in a particular state especially Lagos.
I'll appreciate your response. Thanks.

Get Abuja, kano or sokoto number, and see as police go de fear you

I was thinking any Nigerian plate number can suffice anywhere, which one is advantages of getting Lagos plate number again? .. Or have they gone into plate number TRIBALISM now?

1. It’s the second hand value advantage and Lagos command respect. Many people prefer Lagos numbers because it boost how people see them when they travel to their places eg the Igbos . When they go home for Xmas they’ll rather travel to the village with a Lagos number than travel to the village with a plate number from eg Bornu or Ondo .

2. Also when people see your plate number they 50% of the time assume that’s where you come from. So if you drive an ekiti plate number in Lagos people will assume you are from ekiti state etc. So if you’re to sell you will struggle to sell with ekiti number as many people don’t like to change plate number.

3. Also security. Imagine am trailing or watching your movement, I can tell someone stay here and watch out for a white Toyota with Enugu plate number . That’s pretty easy to get you. But if I say watch out for a Toyota with Lagos number, the person go watch out tire as there are thousands of Toyota with Lagos number.

4. Lagos police most of the time will harass or bully you if from your numbe they know you’re not from Lagos. They assume Lagos people are smarter and crooks. But from your Ebonyi number they think you don’t know a lot.

Get Lagos so that if you want to do Uber, you car won't be flagged for showing other state name but Lagos. I know that's dumb but that was just what popped in my head as am waking up to your question. Maybe If I think when am fully awake, I would know why Lagos plate is useless.

No advantage at all, it is too expensive compare to other state ..

I dunnö. But i knw the advantages of using CHIP WHIP as ur customized number

Nothing special

Yes...if you reside in Lagos state,the renewal procedure is relatively easier

America is the source of diastablization in the world.

Everyone (China and Russia) is fighting and nobody is looking for friends (except Africans)

My Africa is still making friends with people who have no iota of love and respect for them.

Plate na plate unless you mean the one wey den dey take chop.

Ok

Nothing give me pride than to get my hometown plate number.

OP I know what is in your mind, you want to have a Lagos Plate number and look like a VIP when you drive around other states

People no go talk to you anyhow outside Lagos (eg in your village).

If in Lagos, not having Lagos will look somehow odd (negatively).

People no go talk to you anyhow for outside Lagos

You mean if I go Anambra with Lagos plate number dem go dey salute me

Maybe because is the center of excellent but no big deal about it I still prefer my abuja compare to Lagos

I tire o!

It's advantageous if you travel to other states often. Lagos number plates are recognised and respected everywhere. You will earn respect even if u have Lagos number plate in ur home state.

If you have to travel to other states apart from your state of residence with your local number plate police will not let you rest. For example if you travel to Lagos with Ekiti number plate u will see that police will not let u rest.

Its all for respect I guess

for your own sake, you should retrieve your number plates if you sell your car. otherwise, accidents , robberies or crimes etc involving your former car can be traced back to you by our men in black

Excellently dissected. Good job. Love your posts.
