Anyone especially in Nigerian government who cries wolf that taxes are successfully evaded by the citizens cannot be more stingy (economical) with the truth. Nowhere else in the world do the people forcibly pay for tolls and taxes in different shades and styles than in Nigeria, particularly Southern Nigeria.
Sometimes it is quite resentful the manner this ad hoc tax collector in police, military, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO), Vigilante men, etc uniforms go about fulfilling their illegal duties. Many lives of unsuspecting victims in South East, Lagos State have been lost to the brutality and unconscionable treatment meted out to the road users who refuse to play ball.
