7 Crazy Things Ongoing Road Constructions In Lagos Are Causing by autojosh: 6:08am On Jul 28, 2017
Constructions when done on a massive scale and in many places at the same time ,can be very discomforting .But we can’t disagree with the fact that its for our benefit.

Like it or hate it ,the constructions and renovation on Lagos roads have started.This has brought about various occurrences,the good,bad,ugly,and extremely funny.

Lets find out some of them.

1.MUD
We love rain,but we don’t like the mud it creates when it mixes with excavated sand.Its very annoying,especially at Ile Epo market axis .

Its funny how MUD can be decoded as Mega Universal Diarrhea,because thats what all the mud looks like to me .

2.Increased Bus Fare
As usual our Danfo drivers won’t disappoint .We have seen bus fares go up by 100 % in some places and on some days as much as 600%(e.g the LGA election day and the day before).

3.Traffic
As if the traffic in Lagos was not enough .We now have butt compressing traffic,that exceeds the longevity of a tortoise .

4.Broken Hearts And Angry People
As a result of the traffic very few people believe you when you tell them you are in traffic .People are loosing trust in each other.

Person 1 : “I dey inside go slow na ,I dey Abule Egba”

Person 2:”No be wetin you don dey tell me since 8am ,how many minutes from Abule Egba to Ikeja,Oga fear God na”


5.Plenty Lies
While some are actually telling the truth,some folks use the opportunity to lie like La* M******** even when their vehicle is moving at 100km/h .

6.Accidents
We have seen plenty cars engaging in gymnastics and some swimming inside gutter (I am not making fun of the victims o).Its sad ,but what can we do.We have to wait till its all done.

7.Plenty Flogging
If you ply Abule Egba axis very well you would have heard of, or seen scenarios where Soldiers flog(emphasis on the “g”) people like kindergarten students.Construction workers have also been victims.(according to one market woman I eavesdropped on)

But there are also some nice force men,about two days ago around Ile Epo a fast and furious motorist,brushed the behind of a clean blue pickup truck belonging to a Naval officer.He was nice enough not to beat anybody .


What are you currently experiencing in Lasgidi,we would love to hear your story .

Nigeria and ways of doing things.

They should do things in the night when there's less traffic,

meanwhile, you need the cheapest VR Headsets In Nigeria

Something happened yesterday while I was passing through Agege. A train was approaching the railway crossing and guess what happened? It stopped and couldn't move again due to mechanical fault right at the point where cars pass through linking pen cinema and I begin to wonder "why there" it took about 30 -45mins before it could be rectified.

Could it be a spiritual battle?

I recall the time when they were renovating the main road (dualization) in one NOrthern town I lived in once.

For one year....nothing but dust, mud, diversions, annoyances, complaints, etc.

THen the road was finished. And from that day....everything was smooth going. cheesy

In saner climes,most constructions that tend to affect commuters are done at night but for naija, I can't explain.

Road construction must go on.

Design & construction is the constant thing in all climes.

The Basic problem lies within the mindset of the people in such area. So all the stuff listed above are not obtainable in other developed countries and that's how it should be.

Anyways Nigerians adapt faster.
