The Madness on Abuja - Lokoja Highway

It's very easy to blame government for every thing including what we do wrong!

I was heading for my Families annual Christmas reunion, 30 minutes into the trip and a huge  grid lock was steering at us in the face total stand still for almost 5 hours 

This is the first time commuters will be using the fully dualised four lane highway constructed by the Goodluck administration as such I expected a smooth journey because the road was one of the best in the country.

The Federal Road safety Corps (FRSC) were fully mobilised and to their credit they gave their all  today, but impatient Drivers on Nigerian roads had other plans 

1. They created 4 lanes on the side heading into Murtala Bridge and additional 3 lanes out of the bride completely blocking traffic out of the East without any reason whatsoever! 

2. Senior police officers and senior government functionaries  also did not help matters their  Siren blaring pilot pick up vans helped create the nightmare witnessed on that road today because they violated every known traffic rule driving against traffic at will and disrupting every attempt by the FRSC to bring sanity to the road 

Several travellers will spend Christmas on that road today becos many vehicles broke down largely due to over heating !

Chief among the offenders on that road today are

1. Police special protection unit  

2. NSCDC senior officers 

3. Peace mass Transit 

4. Young shall Grow 

5. Mini Bus commercial Drivers 

6. Commercial golf Cars , and senior government functionaries with sirens (Federal, state, Local Govt, traditional rulers just name them all broke the law and messed up things today)

Worthy of Commendation is the attitude of the ABC transport drivers   and Men and officers of the Nigerian Army and the FRSC 

Below is the situation as at this afternoon!

May God Help us to change our bad attitude on the road

God Bless Nigeria

Lagos is worse with the maddest traffic congestion. Since 21st of this month up till today,the traffic in lagos has been horrible. Imagine getting home at midnight yesterday due to traffic.

Compliments of the season Ochejoseph.

The govt officials who are suppose to obey laws are the ones disobeying it. Why? Because too much impunity in the system.

If we have functioning and discipline govt everybody will obey law. There's traffic even in America but no one is seen driving against it nor dis obeying traffic laws. It is even more damaging for govt official or politicians to commit crime than civilian because press will chew you and your career up.
