Some people complain that the Nigeria law is not working and there rights are been violated by the Nigerian police and follow citizens, the truth is the Nigeria law is still working you are the one that don't follow and respect the law.
If you have your driving license and all the required papers police can't extort you.
Some people complain that the Nigeria police always harass them on the road and extort money from them when they are driving there car but if you check this people there driving license has expired they don't have the required papers of the car they are even driving.
Some people complain that there landlord throw them out of their house and they went to police to report and nothing happened, if your landlord has served you a quick notice and gives you enough time to park out the time expire and he takes an order from the court to throw you out away and the police can't do anything about it because you are the one at fort.
If the landlord don't do all this he can't throw you out.

Follow and respect the law first before you complain of injustice.
I will agree that there are laws in Nigeria but I disagree that the laws work in major parts of Nigeria.
The facts that you said if your driver's license are intact you won't be harassed by police is not valid because most of this police and Mopol men don't depend on their salaries because their salaries along can not provide for their needs, what they are actually looking for is faults from a car owner and drivers so that they can be able to extort money from you. Now just imagine a police man doing road safety Jobs. Road safety provided drivers license and other vehicle papers so they are the ones that's supposed to check and know the errors on your vehicle papers. Checking of motor papers is not the job of a place officer. The job is based on domestic violence while the jobs or road safety is to check car papers, fire extinguisher and seatbelts and other things that is related to vehicles and roads to prevent little mistakes that might cause accidents. If you went for a drivers license and you are given a temporary one, even though it hasn't expired and you showed it to the police they will find fault from it because it's not their job, it's either they delay your journey or they collect money from you and we all know that it's very bad.

We all know that in most areas even though some bad people are fighting, the police will not show up even though they are in that area but after the fight is over they will come and arrest the innocent ones and those innocent people will pay to be released. Just agree that most of the police people we see everyday don't do the jobs they are supposed to do.
