I got this by e-mail today
____________________________________________
A man was driving home in Lagos about 2.00am alone in his car and got to a police checkpoint. A policeman stopped him and asked for every document (particulars, insurance, license, etc.) and these the man presented. He even asked for more documer (birth certificate, baptismal certificate, school diploma,). The man had everything at the ready. He then told the policeman, "Any document you want, I've got it right here." To which the policeman snapped back, "Sharraapp! Who say you no get papers?" He obviously had nothing else to ask for. In frustration, he even kicked his tires to check if they were well inflated, had adequate treads, etc. Everything was fine.
When at last there was nothing else to charge the driver with, the policeman said, "I charge you for driving alone at this time of the day, for if you come get accident now who go go tell your people?" The man replied, "I'm not alone, Jesus Christ is with me here, Angel Gabriel, Angel Michael and five other angels are also with me here."
The police man said, "All these people inside this small car?" "Yes," the man answered. The policeman then said, "In that case, I charge you for overloading."
