Will Lagos Roads Ever Be Agbero Free Again? -

The menance of lazy individuals who extort
money from commercial drivers/conductors
is fast becoming a culture in Lagos. The
commando style of operations of these
urchins(some now usually dressed in
uniform) always keep me wondering for
how long the LASG will continue to feign
ignorance of this anomaly.
I sometimes watch helplessly, how these
drivers/conductors are harrased if they
refuse to part with their money; how their
vehicle wipers, side mirrors, tyre covers etc
are brazenly vandalised and sometimes
(rarely though) how these conductors get
beaten up by the almighty AGBEROs in
broad daylight.
Commuters apart from getting delayed in
the process are the ones indirectly funding
the payments made to these lazy bones,
since a fare that should ordinarily cost #
100 for example is charged #120 or #
150(when payment to AGBERO is factored
in)
Personally, more worrying is the fact that
this Lagos AGBERO madness seem to be
spreading gradually to other neighbouring
SW states.
Dear NLs, in the even government
continues to ignore the atrocities of these
individuals, what can the helpless transport
workers in particular, and Lagosians in
general possibly do to stop this injustice?
