It wasn't a firearm, it was a taser (stun gun) and he didn't point it at anybody. He is 100% correct.

He brought it out for his own safety and I don't blame him. In this Nigeria where killers and kidnappers plenty, who will be comfortable with someone tailing them on the road for God knows how long and won't think of doing something for their safety. Back in those days when we see a car following us for a long time, my Dad will drive into Army camp, Police camp, University Campus or Governor street where he knows armed forces abound to shake them off. So it is a normal reaction for Adefarasin to bring out his taser if someone is tailing him

Nobody was trailing him . He had a security escort driving my his side in the video . Nobody is going to kidnap him on one of the most secured roads in Ikoyi while he’s driving with a security escort .

Maybe the it was indeed a taser gun but one thing that is certain is ; Paul Adefarasin has anger issues .

This is not his first time ; there was a reported incident in December 2023 when he smashed a Danfo bus windscreen out of anger when the danfo bashed his car. engers of the bus who recognized him called him out back then; they mentioned how infuriated he was smashing the vehicle’s windscreen after he jumped down from his SUV.

I think the man needs to go for anger management classes . You can not claim to be a religious leader and u are out there smashing windscreens in road rages and brandishing taser gun at luxury car blogger for taking videos of ur SUV in a posh area on the island .

I’m sorry, but I’m not going to judge him based on that random incident with the Danfo driver. Anyone who lives in Lagos understands just how crazy these Danfo guys can be sometimes.

Personally, I’ve had two separate incidents with them in the past. The first was on Ilupeju Road, heading toward Onipan bus stop to connect to Ikorodu Road. The second was in Gbagada, on one of those inner streets near the general hospital — the ones that lead toward Gbagada Market and Deeper Life Church. It’s the same route you’d take to the Third Mainland Bridge if you turn right once you the main road instead of heading left toward the Market/Deeper Life Church. Different drivers, but the same kind of recklessness.

In both cases, they were trying to overtake me on narrow roads barely wide enough for two cars going in opposite directions — and during traffic, no less. My only options were to either hold my lane and risk having my car damaged or give way and risk being pushed into a gutter. I warned both drivers multiple times that they were about to hit my car and force me off the road, but they completely ignored me. And sure enough, both of them hit my vehicle.

The most frustrating part? While I was warning them, they were insulting me — shouting “iya e” and all kinds of nonsense — right up until they caused the damage. And we all know Danfo drivers don’t fix anything. That’s how it was back then, and these incidents happened roughly 13 or 14 years ago.

The driver in Ilupeju got a few dirty slaps from me — and an army guy sitting beside him even had to beg on his behalf. The one in Gbagada? He walked away with a broken nose and blood everywhere — he thought he could damage my car and beat me up. In the end, I took financial losses both times, having to pay out of pocket to repair the damage.

So, trust me — I get it. I can relate to whatever must have happened between him and that Danfo driver. Na man of God, but na human being first.

That said, I’m not excusing the possibility that he has a temper.

What you’ve described is what almost everyone who drives in Lagos experiences .

Your reaction in both instances shows u actually a very high temper (not like I’m judging u or blaming u for it tho ) .

So it doesn’t change the fact that I said Paul Adefarasin has a very high temper/anger issues . The last ish he had with the dango driver actually led to some of the engers in the vehicle having cut on the body from the shattered windscreen glass .

If most Nigerian road s buy valid insurance for their vehicles , they won’t need to carry spanner to fight a negligent motorist each time they cause damage to their vehicles through reckless driving . One of my colleagues was involved in an accident last two weeks on his way to work , the other guy who was at fault came down of his car to appeal to him that his insurers will fix the car . Tho my colleague was very angry, he listened to the voice of reason since what he wants is for his car to be fixed eventually . As at last week they’ve fixed his car and I’m sure he would’ve collected the car from the repairs shop this weekend .

Just curious — were you driving in Lagos 14 years ago? And have you ever filed a claim with any insurance company in Nigeria?

How many Danfo drivers have insurers?

Also, you’re conflating having an issue with a regular person and having one with a Danfo driver. Have you ever had an incident with a Danfo driver before? Do you really understand how Danfo drivers function at all? I bet if your colleague had the same experience, you’d be saying something completely different right now.

By the way, I find it shocking how you’ve reduced both incidents to simply being vehicle insurance issues. Did you even stop to consider the risk to human life/my life — or the lives of anyone else around me — not to mention the Danfo driver and their engers? God forbid, but what if it had led to a major accident and someone lost their life due to that recklessness? What insurer is going to bring a lost life back? Or if someone had suffered a spinal injury — do you think money would fix that?

I’ve seen you campaign on these pages about how dangerous one-way drivers are to society. Yet in both high-stress incidents I described — which could easily have ended in something far more serious — your main concern was whether everyone involved had vehicle insurance. Let me be clear: I value my life far above any material possession. And anyone who endangers it, in any way, shape, or form, will most likely face the consequences. It’s a matter of principle, not temperament.

I’ve issues with Danfo drivers before , maybe not 14 years ( I don’t know the relevance what the relatives of the time line is ) . I know how annoying unruly they can be .

I understand most people will resort to fight them following an accident they caused due to their negligent and reckless driving but we all know that only serves one purpose ; FOR YOU TO RELEASE YOUR ANGER AND HAVE FAUX SENSE OF JUSTICE . It’s not going physical with them will make ur vehicle get fixed .

No matter u look at it ; smashing a danfo driver’s vehicle after an accident he caused is an indication one has anger issues.

I’m sure u know people of the clergy are held to tow societal standards ; the legal standard and the moral standard . A clergy is expected to be morally upright and not practising an-eye-for-an-eye the moment his vehicle gets hit by a reckless driver . That same day , it was Christian’s , Muslims and AtR worshippers that were calling him out simultaneously online because he failed the moral standard test . He even ended up injuring innocent engers that may have been his potential church in his fit of rage

You haven't said what transpired, before concluding he has anger issues.

Lagosians are very quick to label the one with the more expensive car as "Wicked" or "at fault", whenever there's an accident between a rich and a poor man.

One day, a bus hit me from behind and spoilt my bumper. Before I'll come down, this guy reversed and ran away

If I pursue am, and destroy his taillamp, people will automatically say I have anger issues.

The question about 14 years ago is relevant because if you didn’t have experience driving in Lagos then — or even before that — you’re only judging the situation without truly understanding what it was like back then.

And just because clergy are held in high esteem, does that suddenly mean blood doesn’t run through their veins?

People often react that way to Danfo drivers because they tend to make things worse — either by hurling insults after damaging your property, trying to start a fight, fleeing the scene, or having no money to fix what they broke, even after endangering your life and the lives of those around you/them.

Smashing the driver’s windshield tells me the guy already knew he wouldn’t be able to make a claim against the Danfo driver — and that he’d likely have to bear the repair costs himself, directly or indirectly. To me, that seems more like pettiness than hot temper, as you’ve suggested — a case of trying to give the driver a taste of his own medicine.

You and I weren’t there, so we’re only working with half the story and drawing conclusions based on limited information. That said, I won’t judge him based solely on his reaction in that moment.

Eliminate every Nigerian that holds, or has ever held political office...do the same for America and in 20 years I'm sure both countries would have settled into what's not much different from their current realities.

Saying the average Nigerian is wicked is probably half the story, the average Nigerian is quite stupid too.

Our leaders didn't crawl from hell to occupy political office, they were drawn from the general population, and some of them are persons we've known in one capacity or the other before they became they politicans we now know, and I'm sure they too pointed fingers at the leadership class when they were yet to attain power.

The only solution to the mess is to ensure the very best of us (in character and/or competence) occupy these positions, cause anything that's drawn from the average Nigerian would most likely be a toxic mess of wickedness and helpless stupidity.

It doesn't help too that what constitues the "average Nigerian" has over the years reduced in quality...we're in the worst era of what is the average Nigerian.

I think izzo.u has said it all,that our leaders are not a reflection of us but we deserve them because of our stupid choices.

Be it the USA,UK,China,Brazil,Australia, Ghana,Barbados,Pupa New guinea,it is in human nature to be recalcitrant, but what makes it different to what is in Nigeria here is that there's law enforcement to checkmate everyone's excesses. Be it the people or politicians.

Why do you think we turn to our best behaviours when we cross over? Nigerians will cross to ordinary Benin Republic and would begin to follow traffic rules and all that ? What changed?

The fear of enforcement of laws is the beginning of wisdom.

Bro, you don’t cure a man’s madness with civility — especially in Lagos. You have to apply equal or even greater madness to match theirs and settle the matter. That’s how I met the situation, and that’s exactly how it still is.

1. The Adefarasin vs Danfo driver issue happened in 2023 , so ur 14 years ago experience about danfo drivers is totally irrelevant to this discourse . We are talking about him being involved in a road rage in 2023 with a danfo driver not 14 years ago . So if u want to use danfo drivers behavior of 14 years ago to score a point over an issue that happened less than 2 years ago , I really don’t see that point sticking here .

2. Anybody that goes about smashing other people’s windshield following an accident is an angry and most likely a violent person by default . Whether na danfo driver or private car driver u smash his vehicle following an accident , it only means have a taking temper .

3. I still had my vehicle hit in Christmas Day ; I mean 2024 Christmas Day. A Danfo driver was trying to negotiate his way out after the vehicle in his front stopped ( maybe due to a fault or the driver forgot the traffic has moved ). I kept honking for him to stop reversing but it was just as if he was possessed and wanted to bash my car at all cost and he did. I was pissed like every other person would be , particularly when u consider the fact that I bought the car few months before the incident . Guess what ? I didn’t go about smashing his vehicle even though he wasn’t uncooperative going by the words coming out of his mouth and his body language . I had to let go. My insurance fixed the car eventually .

4. I’m not judging him based off one incident . My initial post to Ibime which u quoted was pointing it out that the man certainly has anger issues which a clergy should not be known for . I mean a clergy who preaches forgiveness , paying good with evil and being peacemakers should not be smashing people’s windshield and brandishing taser gun inside a posh and highly secured part of Lagos ; Ikoyi

I said he has anger issues because he smashed someone else’s windshield when the person damaged his car . I also said he has anger issues because he’s pointing a taser gun at a car paparazzi inside Ikoyi on a busy road.

Maybe u should go and check the news on the road rage incident again .

The people who witnessed the incident were stunned seeing how he jumped down and smashed the windshield of the Danfo. The people who witnessed it were disappointed because some engers were injured by the broken glass particles . It was his PA that stayed back to calm them down .

But I gave you examples from my own experience, and you labeled me temperamental. I’m also guessing that the arguments I’ve had here on NL may have influenced your judgment. That said, I challenge you to point out a single instance where I started any of those fights. In fact, in all the cases, I was relentlessly attacked for months — sometimes even years — and my family was dragged into it before I ever fought back.

I even forgot to mention a third incident that happened just last year after I returned from a trip. My brother came to pick me up from the airport, and we had escorts with us. It was supposed to be a routine drive until a Danfo driver overtook us from the wrong side, hit our car, and sped off. Although the escort vehicle was ready to chase him down, we told them to let it go and just kept moving.

Now imagine if the escort had chased the Danfo, cut him off, and maybe even handed him a few slaps — as they likely would have. If that story was told to you without context, I’m almost certain you’d say the Danfo driver was being oppressed, without knowing what really happened.

I think this is more my position, that the average Nigerian is not really smart and our society reflects on our collective intelligence. We might be no more wicked than your average American, but you can be sure that your average American is smarter and more competent than the average Nigerian.

You need to go back to my initial reply to u on this matter . I clearly said I don’t judge u .

I only state fact that if one’s reflex action to provocation of that sort is to resort to violence or show of force , one definitely is temperamental . It means it takes very little to rile that person up .

At no point did I talk about oppression. I never said Paul Adefarasin oppressed the danfo guy neither did I claim he oppressed the luxury car paparazzi he brandished the taser gun at . All I said was that he is clearly temperamental and seem to be a man fast given to anger .

And I ended up saying he should go for anger management class .

Have u ever thought if things had gone out of hand what would’ve happened ? I mean if the glass particles from the windshield had found its way into one of the engers’ eyes and the person goes blind from the incident . Do u think anybody will the name of the danfo driver who bashed Paul’s car in the first place ? No. Paul’s name will be everywhere for causing an innocent person’s blindness

The manner in which you react to provocation is also indicative of an anger problem.

Every interaction has what can be described as an "appropriate" response, and if your response consistently deviates from what's appropriate, you just might have an anger problem.

There's no way he'd view that interaction with the Danfo driver as a third party and not fault that response...I mean even if he's so wicked that he does not care about those innocent engers, what of he himself...what if in smashing the glass he severs a major blood vessel and he loses his life over what he could have handled differently.

1) My incident from 14 years ago is very much relevant to this conversation — especially since you used it to label me as temperamental.

2) So, anyone who reacts by smashing someone’s property after their own property has been damaged is suddenly the problem — according to Judge Blueray? In my second example, I clearly mentioned that the Danfo driver not only damaged my car but also thought he could beat me up. But instead of asking more questions to understand what really happened, you jumped straight to labeling me as temperamental. Since you’re clearly a saint, I assume that if a Danfo driver damaged your car and then tried to beat you up on top of it, you’d take the beating gracefully — and even thank him for not being temperamental.

3 & 4) Could you clarify what else you based your “temperamental” label on — besides an incomplete post I made today without full context? Or am I right to assume that the arguments I’ve had here on NL influenced your conclusion?

Theflint1:
The manner in which you react to provocation is also indicative of an anger problem.

Every interaction has what can be described as an "appropriate" response, and if your response consistently deviates from what's appropriate, you just might have an anger problem.

Agreed! Now explain how you would react if a Danfo driver damaged your vehicle and then also tried to beat you up.

If u feel offended by my post , I apologized .

I was speaking in general and not specifically to u. The two incidents u narrated u were involved in , the truth is as a third party who was not involved in the incident all I see was u acting in the heat of the matter with adrenaline rushing . U were visibly angry .

Once again I apologize if u feel offended by my position on this .

Theflint1:
There's no way he'd view that interaction with the Danfo driver as a third party and not fault that response...I mean even if he's so wicked that he does not care about those innocent engers, what of he himself...what if in smashing the glass he severs a major blood vessel and he loses his life over what he could have handled differently.

That’s what anger will never allow u consider until it’s too late . Ordinary Nigerians have gone to prison for issues of less magnitude which escalated quickly than they imagined .

People have slapped those insulted them and the person slapped slumped and died . The individual who gave the slap was arrested and nobody even care about what the insultive word was

BlueRayDick:


You need to go back to my initial reply to u on this matter . I clearly said I don’t judge u .

I only state fact that if one’s reflex action to provocation of that sort is to resort to violence or show of force , one definitely is temperamental . It means it takes very little to rile that person up .

At no point did I talk about oppression. I never said Paul Adefarasin oppressed the danfo guy neither did I claim he oppressed the luxury car paparazzi he brandished the taser gun at . All I said was that he is clearly temperamental and seem to be a man fast given to anger .

And I ended up saying he should go for anger management class .

Have u ever thought if things had gone out of hand what would’ve happened ? I mean if the glass particles from the windshield had found its way into one of the engers’ eyes and the person goes blind from the incident . Do u think anybody will the name of the danfo driver who bashed Paul’s car in the first place ? No. Paul’s name will be everywhere for causing an innocent person’s blindness

I don’t think you’re keeping up with the convo here, bro. You claimed Adefarasin is temperamental based on his reaction to the Danfo driver.

I disagreed and used my own experience as a reference — and you then concluded that I must be hot-tempered too.

Now, I’m simply asking you to explain how you arrived at that conclusion in my case, while also pointing out that you weren’t present during Adefarasin’s incident. So you can’t say for certain that he has temper issues without knowing the full context of what actually happened.

I’m sorry, but I’m not going to judge him based on that random incident with the Danfo driver. Anyone who lives in Lagos understands just how crazy these Danfo guys can be sometimes.

Personally, I’ve had two separate incidents with them in the past. The first was on Ilupeju Road, heading toward Onipan bus stop to connect to Ikorodu Road. The second was in Gbagada, on one of those inner streets near the general hospital — the ones that lead toward Gbagada Market and Deeper Life Church. It’s the same route you’d take to the Third Mainland Bridge if you turn right once you the main road instead of heading left toward the Market/Deeper Life Church. Different drivers, but the same kind of recklessness.

In both cases, they were trying to overtake me on narrow roads barely wide enough for two cars going in opposite directions — and during traffic, no less. My only options were to either hold my lane and risk having my car damaged or give way and risk being pushed into a gutter. I warned both drivers multiple times that they were about to hit my car and force me off the road, but they completely ignored me. And sure enough, both of them hit my vehicle.

The most frustrating part? While I was warning them, they were insulting me — shouting “iya e” and all kinds of nonsense — right up until they caused the damage. And we all know Danfo drivers don’t fix anything. That’s how it was back then, and these incidents happened roughly 13 or 14 years ago.

The driver in Ilupeju got a few dirty slaps from me — and an army guy sitting beside him even had to beg on his behalf. The one in Gbagada? He walked away with a broken nose and blood everywhere — he thought he could damage my car and beat me up. In the end, I took financial losses both times, having to pay out of pocket to repair the damage.

So, trust me — I get it. I can relate to whatever must have happened between him and that Danfo driver. Na man of God, but na human being first.

That said, I’m not excusing the possibility that he has a temper.

This was your original post about beating up the driver's

Put as simply as you're now putting it, chances are higher I'd walk away than engage in any sort of physical altercation...Wetin concern me na the car wey dem bash and we know these guys have zero interest in fixing cars they bash...if they're not begging, they're resorting to fight.

Ah, vex ke? No now — vex never enter o! Haba, no need to apologise abeg, you and I are just having a normal, civil conversation. I’m only trying to point out that you may not have the full picture in every instance, so your conclusions might not be entirely accurate.

Abeg, I no vex. If my tone came off a bit direct/strong, I apologise too — it’s just normal Warri blood talking. No hard feelings at all. Bless up, bro 👊

I have already pointed out why I think his temperamental . His reaction to the danfo incident clearly shows that .

A danfo driver bashes his car and he ended up smashing the danfo windshield . Did he do that out of joy or anger ?

I made that post without going into too much detail. You also highlighted where I said the driver thought he could beat me up. Since you’ve already decided that you would have walked away, my question is: if the driver threw the first punch, would you still have walked away? If yes, then you’re definitely a better person than I am.
