Who can solve the traffic problem of lagos?

My main anger with lagosians is how they are ready to cheat any unsuspecting person for any amount.

Lastly lagos has an odour, I don't know how to describe it. It comes from their black muddy gutters.


Mention states you knw that doesn't have black muddy gutters

Lagos is hell on earth. The day I will leave this place, I will shed tears of joy.
Funnily, Lagosians think Lagos is the best thing since sliced bread. Weird.

Hate is too good. I detest Lagos. In normal places you have traffic jam or go-slow; that's very normal, but in Lagos you have "human" traffic. I mean, its too congested that not only cars cause traffic, the humans there cause traffic also.

Only place a in Naija I can live in are PH and Abuja. Nothing more, nothing less.

Dude from all you have mentioned, it is obvious you don't hate Lagos, learn your grammar usgae, you simply dislike the state because of the mentioned reasons, anyways i was born and bred in Lagos, grew up in almost all major areas, mile 2, bariga, b=gbagada, somolu, isolo, lagos island, the city is part of me as i am a part of it, our hustle, our story, I am proud to be born and be a part of the city called lasgidi

And later you'll call girls olosho, but you're patronizing them and you know all their spots. Theres no difference btw a prostitute and LovePeddler monger. Keep selling your destiny.

Despite all this, I still love my Lagos... There are places in New york City that are dirty even if it is not up to that of Lagos.. And there is also constant movement of people up and down... Infact in almost every city in the world u will see some of these attributes..

saint slikbae, someone asked for direction and I gave him one. Knowing all their spots does not mean one patronizes them. Stupid people like you are always quick to quote others with unreasonable coments, who the hell are you to judge me? What makes you better? What do you know about destiny? Nobody that plys lekki Ajah road that doesnt know that jakande is the bustop for prostitutes, does that mean that everybody living in that side of town patronizes them?

uche87:
Lagos state is a land of opportunities. It is the commercial capital of Nigeria with unofficially a population of 23 million people 'hustling' to have a bite of the good fortunes of the land. Lagos has a couple of adverse sides a newcomer will have to adapt to and live with.

Below are some common features I hate about Lagos state:

(1) Traffic:

Lagos is highly populated with thousands of people plying limited road networks to work early in the morning and also returning late in the evening. There have been several cases of people spending over 5hrs in traffic merely moving from Mainland to the Island in Lagos. This poses a huge challenge in the movement of goods and services.

(2) Cost of accommodation:

Rent in Lagos is very expensive. Most landlords will only rent their houses out if you are ready to pay a 2-year rent. You go through agents who will demand a large sum of money. The 'agreement fee' at times is much enough to rent a two bedroom flat in a cheap area like Ibadan.

(3) The girls:

After the stress of working in Lagos for the day, one would need expert hands to massage all the back pains. The girls in Lagos only understand the language of your pocket and not empty promises of love. Some ladies could demand for Buhari's head for the night.

(4) The beggars:

The beggars in Lagos come in different dimensions. Someone can appear smarter and more expensive than you in Lagos and still beg you for money. They constantly stop you with pitiful stories and faces. Ignoring them sometimes has a way of affecting one's conscience especially if you are the soft type.

(5) Incessant cases of traffic robbery:

I never knew traffic robbery was real until I came to Lagos. CMS, Mile 2, Ikorodu, Orile, Iyana Oba and several other areas have high records of traffic robbers who dispose commuters of their hard-earned belongings. Towards the yuletide, Linda's blog was reporting almost two cases of traffic robbery per day.

(6) Transport cost:

In Lagos people tend to draw a scale of preference on movement. Movement to work is mandatory while others can wait except too important due to the high cost of moving around. For this reasons, most friendships are relegated to online interactions and nothing more.

(7) Congestion:

Lagos is too congested with people. The town planning system of some areas like Satellite town in Amuwo Odofin, Mushin, Okokomaiko, Ajegunle, Oyingbo etc is very poor which affects the ventilation in houses. This could frustrate a newcomer especially when the weather is sunny.

(cool Churches:


A close study of some churches in Lagos has brought me to the conclusion that some preachings are directed at the congregation's pockets. The churches are always in need of one thing or the other. The speakers psyche you up to even drop what you don't have by faith.

(9) High level of oppression by the rich:


You need to see the cars driven by some people especially on the Island part of Lagos. It takes discipline for your long-term lover to say no to such men. The desperation of joining the wealthy class could push one to destruction. These people may not even work as hard as you do or even have the same educational qualifications with you.

(10) The level of hypocrisy in Lagos is epic:

That club girl that was dancing like a possessed person at the club on a Friday night with that skimpy cloth that puts her endowments on display maybe the sister leading the praise and worship session in a church on Sunday.

Everyone takes up different characters just to bring the money home and pay bills.

Some people love Lagos others dislike it (me included). If you want a weekend of partying and fun at the beach then Lagos is okay but you may end up stressed.

I recently spent one month in Abuja and I loved it. Serene, organised and never felt unsafe or even hassled even though I was there alone. The only stressful thing was going to Wuse Market. I also had a friend from London who had visited Abj from Lagos. First time in both cities and she was not that impressed with Lagos not even Banana Island and other places lagosians boast about. She even said she could not believe the 2 cities were in the same country. She said if not for her visit to Abuja she would never come to Nigeria again.

Some people like Lagos though.

OP you make some good points about Lagos positives but for me Lagos is an insane place.
