After dancing around with his car in the potholes for over two hours, Tony was already tired and stressed out by the driving. He promised himself that next time, he will make the journey by flight. Tony was driving his 2 months old grade one Tokunbo Toyota Camry car to his home town somewhere in the Eastern part of the country. He was more irked by the endless check-points of policemen who chose to mount their check-points every half-kilometre along the bumpy, potholes-ridden road. Tony was once again stopped at one of the police check-points.
"Oga, where are your particulars?” demanded the pot-bellied police constable. There are three other policemen, including a sergeant where standing a few feet away. Tony gave him all the papers, including his driving license to forestall further questions. After scanning through, the policeman demanded again, "Where is your certificate of road worthiness?"
"Road-worthiness?" queried Tony. "I should first ask you for the certificate of road-worthiness for this your death-trap of a road", fumed Tony. "Your road is not worthy and it's spoiling my vehicle. Therefore, make your road worthy and I'll gladly get a certificate of road worthiness for my car."
