Nnewi is more developed than osogbo

doctokwus:

My broda,d thing tire sombrody.
Just because of a 23km light rail and a proposed 4th mainland bridge and eko atlantic city,lagos will now compete with other megacities in d world!
Despite google and cheap internet,d way some pple display their ignorance is dumbfounding.
Ambode is doing a marvellous job,compared to d many incompetent govs spread round and a utterly incompetent and sick president,but Lagos needs at least 25 yrs of such development to catch up with d 2nd string of mega cities and 50 to catch up with d likes of Tokyo Seoul,London,etc

Everywhere in Lagos is littered with one project or the other. How ambode does it with little or no noise is impressive.

Should ambode deliver on the pronised 350mw then I will clamour for his presidency.

In the seventies, only the Carter(First) and Eko (Second) Bridges linked the Island with the mainland.

Carter bridge was constructed by the colonial government while the military ( I believe Gowon) built the Eko Bridge.

The odd and even number concept was adopted to reduce vehicular movement in the seventies. Odd-number vehicles could ply the major roads on particular days and even-number cars on the other days. Ojuelegba and Yaba were two major bottlenecks in those days. Fela's song Ojuelegba , was about the regular confusion at the place. Whenever we were going to school and climbed the overhead bridge at Jibowu (from where we could clearly see the traffic situation at Yaba), my dad would remark Yaba O wo loni o! - meaning Yaba is messed up today.

In those days, people such as my parents had to have two cars -one even and the other odd numbered. My dad still advises me today to ensure that my cars are evenly spread between odd and even - just in case the number regime returns!


The Third Mainland Bridge was constructed by the Babangida government and was actually named after him (Ibrahim Babangida Boulevard) on completion. That name did not stick particularly because of the June 12 Saga which shortly followed the opening of the bridge. In the first phase of the project, Adeniji to Adekunle was done and open to traffic. When completed, the Adekunle-Oworo section of the bridge was not open to traffic for about six months.

Before the Adekunle-Oworo section was opened, I worked variously at Lagos Island and VI and had to go through Adekunle to join Ikorodu road. That stretch from the Third Mainland Bride through Herbert Macaulay was hell. The traffic used to be very bad. Thank God that in those days, the incidence of robbery in the traffic hadn't started (at least I neither experienced nor heard of it).

That's how we used to "cope" then.
