Sometimes, fellow Nigerians like you and I are the problem

One thing APC has taught Nigerians is how to blame themselves for a bad situation.

Never. It is the same power brokers that have been in charge since the end of civil war.

So says the governor who has made Ogun State roads very smooth
Re: Lagos-Ibadan Expressway: Contractors Responsible For Accidents - Dapo Abiodun by Kobicove(m): 7:16am On Nov 18, 2021
What the governor said is true, the road contractors just put concrete boulders and road dividers haphazardly on the road and they did not provide adequate warnings and signs to road users angry

While shortcomings in the repair of that Lagos to Ibadan expressway certainly need to be addressed, the positive aspects of that project must be praised.

Not long ago I had reason to ply that completed segment of the Lagos Ibadan expressway that stretches between the Benin interchange, and the outskirts of Ibadan, and I was absolutely astonished at the smoothness and pristine state of that particular stretch of highway. There was not one single blemish on that expressway segment, and as my car sailed along that buttery smooth surface, I found myself lost for words.

While I explored the high-speed capabilities of my chariot along the new Ibadan expressway, the German Autobahn came to mind, as did the majesty of US Interstate 15 between Riverside and San Diego counties in California. Fellow speed freaks, if you are blessed to own a performance automobile that is capable of running smooth and stable while above 100 mph, I HIGHLY recommend that Ibadan expressway segment located between the Benin interchange and the outskirts of Ibadan, as a suitable test track on which to wantonly unleash the rampaging beast that lurks under the hood of your trusty road warrior steed.

The above paragraphs were transcribed directly from utterances served up by the Exalted Forest Oracle who I visited at midnight during the most recent full moon.
True talk; from that Sagamu interchange to Ibadan you can literally sleep while driving. Whaat! the road is so smooth...kudos to RCC!

No! Dangerous driving and sparse patrol by ill equipped FRSC and corrupt police who extort users of the road.
Thank you. The FRSC prefers to extort moneys from motorists in the cities by stopping cars to ask for particulars.
The Lagos-ibadan expressway is one road that needs the attention of FRSC the most. That particular spot and many more on that route should have the men of FRSC positioned to direct traffic by slowing drivers down where necessary.
If there are no signs to warn drivers then the Corps should be there.
December is almost here and one can imagine the kind of huge traffic expected on that expressway!

The accident on the expressway are completely avoidable and unnecessary. How can u dualize a busy and major oneway express way and not inform users adequately??

The construction company or FG should be sued. Those real lives not animations.

The most stupid & useless Governor in south-west, Nigeria
Re: Lagos-Ibadan Expressway: Contractors Responsible For Accidents - Dapo Abiodun by tete7000(m): 8:35am On Nov 18, 2021
He will take it up with the minister, and what will the minister do? The Lagos-badagry Expressway the minister initiated as governor of Lagos state, the one he boasted he will complete in three years is still ongoing and the minister is clueless about how to complete it as a minister and you are still making reference to such an incapable minister. Nigeria na wa!

You can hold the contractors responsible on one part but do not forget that bus drivers get reckless and irresponsible too. Who knows, the driver could have seen the tanker emerging and wanted to make a quick dash, so the tanker would either not obstruct his movement or delay him.

Many years ago in this country it was a standard requirement for drivers to read, understand and have good knowledge of road signs. Unfortunately that no longer obtains. We have a very huge percentage of drivers who are very illiterate and irresponsible. Even the educated ones do not know road signs. I can bet that same governor may not know road signs. Ogun state has roads that are very disgraceful and yet the governor has failed to attend to them. Those who go to equity must have clean hands. He needs to attend to the terrible road in his state before judging the contractors fixing other roads.

That said, some transport drivers think it is proper to “shine their eyes” with either igbo or paraga or both before embarking on long journeys. Some get to areas where even common sense should get them to be patient, yet they try to circumvent it quickly. Some think driving at a particular speed makes their movements too slow. Some are encouraged by their passengers to drive at great speeds. Some think other slow moving road users “no sabi drive”.

Everything is just wrong with Nigeria. When will we ever get it right?

You just nailed it.

That 'face me, I face you' part of the road is very scary and dangerous.

It would be better to put a demarcation and let the road users maintain just a lane until they get back to their proper lanes.

The contractors are not handling the project properly.

May God's protection be on us all.

Lives have been wasted because of negligence of selfish contractors who were trying to cut costs while jeopardizing safety measures.


We should actually put the blame squarely at the doorstep of the Government and the Regulatory Agencies that refuse to do their job or are compromised. How can the Governmemt which is the sovereign in the State and Country be complaining about contractors msconduct as if nothing could be done with all the executive powers of the Government. Does that mean the contractors are bigger than the Government?
