Line jumpers in Nigeria could end up waiting much longer—in prison
Line jumpers in Nigeria could end up waiting much longer—in prison
Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari is known for being a straitlaced fellow. When he was the military ruler of the West African country in the 1980s, Buhari instituted a famous “War Against Indiscipline,” which saw security forces patrolling the streets and beating, or even imprisoning, Nigerians for minor misdemeanors such as being late for work. Buhari is now the elected head of state in Nigeria—though he is currently in the U.K. on sick leave—and it appears that the country is preparing for a return to its disciplinarian past. Lawmakers in Nigeria's lower house of parliament are considering a bill that would see anyone guilty of jumping the line in public places facing a six-month prison sentence.
