Friday night will be a day that both pedestrians and motorists in ogba,ifako-Ijaiye local government area of Lagos state will not forget in a hurry. The static traffic jam started at about 4 pm and lasted till the early hours of saturday.

METRONAIJA can authoritatively confirm that the bad state of the road which is under construction caused the historic traffic jam in the community and some motorists had to pack their cars in order to trek to their destinations.

The below pictures were taken at about 1am the following morning.

bashy_demy: Well this not new abeg, New Yorkers once experience 50hours traffic jam

Am sure it wasn't a bad state of the road perpetually under construction that was at fault due to State Gov failure . . .


This is definitely news abeg . . . . .

Just like the hearts of most of its inhabitants.

am so sure one of ur own pple is also base in lasgid, dat means the person also has a dark heart as u claim, so dark does show up in ur area ? Pls think b4 u post,

where exactly did this happen?

I drove from Dolphin Estate to Mile12 yesterday. I didnt spend 9 hours

what caused it is the question, ive never been in Lagos traffic jam for more than 4hr before

This happens when the END of work has come and its TIME to go home to see your family and other THINGS

Strange the end is near

Na 2day?

It seems this blogger exaggerated. I am aware the road is being reconstructed basically for expansion and this could be the reason for the gridlock apart from impatient drivers. Those Arab guys are really doing a great job. I wish the contract for the road linking Eliot and pen cinema was given to them.

There's nothing in those pictures to suggest a major traffic gridlock.Whomever took those pictures did a shoddy job to tell an even more pathetic story
