Looked better in the past. How hath almighty Lagos fallen

How can you turn a roundabout
into a junction?

Are you moving forward or backwards?

A flyover would have been better
or kuku leave the roundabout.

Within your mind, You know the right answer. So no need biting around the bush nor shedding crocodile tears lol......

One of the major agenda of Sanwolu has always been HOW TO REDUCE Lagos traffic. He's been doing so Accordingly, from road to rail, to sea transportation. Sanwolu n sanwoeko.
Keep the good work up.
God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria

Meanwhile...

Nonsense.. Instead of him to build a double flyover there if they really want to reduce traffic, they are doing this nonsense. What is the major difference with this nonsense to what was there before? Abi na another avenue to embezzle funds because I can bet this cost billions of naira.

That few of us can afford it does not mean we should lose sight of what is normal and start living in a fool's paradise.

Good post!

Needed next is a two level flyover. One from Adeniyi Jones inward Allen. Second from Ikeja inward Secretariat.

That should have been done at same time! Nigerian Governments need to learn to build for the future!

God bless you o...... If I tell you how much I spend on generator in a month you go pity me

What we need most in this country is 24/7 electricity so we can run our businesses and feed ourselves, not all these sorry-ass evidences of infrastructural mediocrity.

lagusboyyy:
probably to save cost though.

You know, flyovers cost billions.

It will have to be done eventually but at a much higher cost!

Good sense of reasoning

The roundabout is still very okay. Our problem is that we don't respect driving rules.
I get history with this roundabout. I can site the old Tanterlizer building.

My daily route

This would be the conclusive solution.

..but imagine the accident when ppl go dey try to beat traffic for night, like 11pm

This is another thing. Knowing that that area is a night life hub, all the enjoyment people with alcohol in their system racing hole around 1am or 2am, which of them would wait for traffic light?

Accident galore loading.

myles16:


So it's where ?? If you don't know road STFU!

I think what he meant is that this spot was popularly called Allen Junction, not roundabout. The 'popular' Allen roundabout is the one connecting Opebi and Toyin Street, which is the haven for ashawos at night.

Okkk we have seen it.
How much was spent on it?

Aidejay:
Basically you can generate your own electricity independently.
If only we had constant light in this country, many things won't be problems.
However any business that wants to progress must be ready to innovate how they will pad electricity deficiency with proper power generation outlets so as not to crash and burn in this country.

But roads on the other hand are a whole ball game. You can't build road for your self and by your self per se.
"Infrastructural mediocrity" does not qualify this roundabout as the people left to navigate that axis will attest to how it has eased their lives and business especially with the reduction in traffic and traffic related incidents.

Don't let your unobjective and questionable "personal conviction" in relation to this issue cloud your brain. Sounding ignorant is not a talent you should be proud of.

you're the ignorant one, what's there to celebrate about a fuqing roundabout with green grasses....don't you watch CNN and BBC is this the kind of govt projects they celebrate! smh

You and those who clapped for you are definitely gnorant of the benefits of having good infrastructure in place.

Building Infrastructure means physical development. Physical development attracts population which in turn creates demands for goods and services.

Meeting these demands lead to economic activities. Economic activities further attract bigger investments via entrepreneurship which ultimately creates myriad employment opportunities to feed yourself and your family.

If Nigeria today simply decides to focus on building modern roads like this Allen roundabout that connect every state, city , town , village, street and house for the next ten years.... unemployment will be down to 3 percent for sure.

It means world class efficent postal system can be designed with each neighbourhood having its own zip code... good roads alone will create millions of jobs in logistics involving delivery of goods and even services.

Back that with steady electricity and stable internet. Millions of new and unexisting business will be created.

That is no longer an Allen Roundabout, it is now Allen Square.... What makes it a roundabout has been taken..

Just await the news after.

In urban areas Round abouts are useless and cause slow traffic. .

It's only good for very remote areas with very minimal traffic.

The person who designed this Allen square did not just go abroad...he opened his eyes and learned how roads should be constructed

My bro, ur sense dey work. Electricity is journey to Mars in Nigeria

Coolcalmcollect:

This is not a celebration. I am not celebrating anything, I don't live in that area soooooo! This has no effect on my daily life meaning it matters less to me if there it's there or it isn't. Everywhere and everybody cannot be on the same pedigree of development especially Nigeria and USA or UK. Those countries have perfected their shit and in naija here we still have electricity issues. Comparing and contrasting is useless. It's not everybody that has the penchant for uselessness.

onyechez:

LOL, the quote is right. What Nigeria need is 24hrs electricity not those mediocrity called project, a sensible government would have used an interchange because with time increase in population, cars, trucks would congest and put pressure on the road which would require more funds to reconstruct.
Worst part no traffic lights, no street lights, more accidents at night with poor visibility.

Time will tell.

Hedonisco:

This would be the conclusive solution.

And with a roundabout at the base for folks doing Alade Market, Oregun, local Ikeja et al.
