My experience in these past few weeks have been everything but palatable with the ongoing tinted glass revalidation exercise. Not only does one need to get up early to be there before 6.30am to be among the chosen few (50 persons) per day that are usually allowed to go in for the biometric capturing but you still need to pray very hard that the only computer and personnel designated to do this job for the over 5 million motorists in need of this revalidation does not break down mid way or get overwhelmed by sheer complaints of inadequate measures put in place by relevant police authorities.

I have just returned from the only centralized venue (Lagos Police command HQ @ Ikeja) for this exercise and this is the 4th time we are being turned back, with the flimsy reasons bordering on capacity and structures in place. I do not understand how an important exercise which already has tomorrow as deadline could be treated with such a levity by the Police high command. It has therefore become imperative, given this obvious lapses, that the deadline be extended to allow for more resources, structures and personnel to be deployed to atleast erase the narrative that Nigerians derive pleasure from stressing themselves unnecessarily.
