Worried by the alleged harassment and extortion by the police, the House of Representatives will this week consider a motion seeking to stop the Nigerian police from issuing or renewing tinted glass permit for vehicles owners.
The motion titled “need to save motorists from harassment and extortion by the police in the guise of renewal of vehicle tinted glass permit” is sponsored by Hon. Henry Daniel Ofongo (PDP, Bayelsa). New Telegraph exclusively gathered from the House notice paper for this week that the motion will be moved on Wednesday.
It would be recalled that the then military president, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida promulgated a decree prohibiting the tinting and use of cars with tinted glasses.
The said decree is now known as motor vehicles (prohibition of tinted glass) Act, 1991; made up of only six (6) sections. By the provisions of section (1) (1) of motor vehicles (prohibition of tinted glass) Act, 1991 “no person in Nigeria is permitted to cause any glass fitted on a motor vehicle to be tinted, shaded, coloured lightly or thickly, darkened or treated in any other way to the extent that the persons or objects in the vehicle are obscured, invisible and not seen with the naked eyes”.
It means that no person (human being or juristic being; companies and incorporated trustees) is permitted to place, display, install, affix, use, or put on a motor vehicle any glass that will hide the contents of such vehicle.
Also during the 7th Assembly, Senator Ita Enang, now Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters had sponsored a bill seeking to abolish the decree.
The bill, which had passed second reading, did not see the light of day. In sponsoring the motion, the lawmakers are concerned that “the police always claimed that obtaining permission for the use of tinted glasses was free.
Such claims existed only on the pages of newspapers as persons who sought such permission reported that they were given various charges ranging from N10,000 and above”.

They should just do the needful sharp! Sharp!
ReplyDeleteAbeg they should free tinted glass ooo. What if I wanna do the do inside the car?
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of when I was dating one of my bf like that. On this particular day he came to visit me but i had a friend at my place, so me and bf drove out for sight seeing and in the process we got conjified. Chai...we couldn't go to bf's house cos it's about an hour drive and d conji fit don die by then. That was how we started driving round in circle looking for a coded spot to download the milk. Saw one semi-quiet spot and parked there, I was still fondling to bring Tom-d-piper out of his hiding spot when about two people walked pass the car, they would have seen Tom if I had brought him out. Na so me and bf just quietly give ourself brain. He drove me back to my house....and alas! My big unfenced compound was d right spot, we parked under a mango tree there and wawu........!! (Fill in the blank space).
My point is, assuming bf's car glass was tinted we would have made use of that first spot.
Oya ooooo... some people will cum and ask why we didnt go and rent a room for quickee? My answer is: been there...done that. Sometimes it's gud to have risky quickees.... the riskyness sends shivers down to the right spot.
And hey preacher man.... I don't remember ever saying I was a virgin before I got married (in other words, no come preach under my comment ooo) thanks.

ReplyDeleteTinted windshields are widely used in America primarily due to the rays of the sun. To protect one's self from sunburns and other ailments associated with sun exposure. I am mortified that people have to get a permit to have tinted screens in Nigeria. It is not luxury but a huge necessity. What a country!
