How can your blood pressure come down while on a bike? Abi e go increase. I no wan die young o.

What may have an adverse effect on his blood pressure, may not do the same to you. In the same way you feel using a clutch in a manual gives you "stress", I find manuals a joy to drive.  

Different folk, different strokes. We all do what works best for us. In this case, getting up two hours later, and getting home about three hours earlier is worth swapping a car for a bike when commuting to work. More productive time, more sleep time, more time spent at home with the family can only be a good thing.

If half of Lagos commuters imbibe this soln, especially d males, we may well be on the way to traffic soln in Lagos.

@Jack,

You put my idea into reality. When I was still in Lagos, I was planning on getting a power bike to solve the traffic madness. Fortunately, for me I relocated and it has been a blessing ever since. Lagos traffic believe it or not is a silent killer and it has been proven that Lagosians have a shorter life span, than other urban dwellers in other states. Also, it has been proven that 98% of Lagosians are clinically and mentally mad for a longer period than the supposed "5 minutes madness".

owenueme:

Very ingenious. Your cost has also reduced.

coogar:

they can also bring the even number/odd number car registration they had in the 80s.
lagos is too chaotic. too many cars for the tiny roads - no traffic lights and motorists don't even respect simple driving regulations.
it's a lawless state!

@ jarkbauer : I love your innovative solution to your health problem and the traffic.

Everyone may not do the same thing to achieve result. But in Nigeria, everyone is trying to do same thing to achieve success. We need to think outside the box, and see the big picture.

Standing out of the crowd is my own personal way of life. I do things in my own way to achieve a set goal. While renovating my house, most people (Bricklayer and Electrician) that work for me did not understand me when I gave order of how I want my house and wiring design to be done. They claimed it has never been done like that before! but 11 months now, I have never experience a power failure. My own way of making sure, PHCN wahala is out of life, more so my generator is now redundant, a mighty cost-saving on my fuel consumption.

I believe if each and everyone is coming out with a practical solutions, we need to appreciate them, little drops of water make a might ocean.

Siena:

Wow. I thought I was one of the only members old enough to remember that rule, odd and even numbers, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

The only issue with Nigerians, is the blatant refusal to obey any local regulations. They got round the even-odd number rule by simply bying a second car, so they ended up with cars for all days of the week. More cars, more chaos.

coogar:

let congestion charge take care of that!

coogar:

how did you go about this? you connected a wire from ghana to your house?
no power failure in 11 months? nigeria?

let congestion charge take care of that!

soft-touch:

Try think outside the box. I don't need PHCN to get electricity, I generated mine, and don't ask me how, search the internet.

But Coogar, why are you always like making mockery of most forum discussion?

Maybe I should have invite you when celebrating a year of non-interrupted Electricity in my house by Jan 27th 2012 (without PHCN), but security
reasons willl not make it possible.

LeoMax:

Your personal solution happens to be short-cut to the grave. Rent a room close to your place of work and visit your family every weekend at Ogba. Simple ! Dont be silly cos u are risking your life.

joinnow:

@Siena
Okada is a high risk venture in Naija o, one will need to add to your prayer points, Lagos drivers are amongst the maddest in the world, no patience.

So your solution to Lagos traffic is for people to get motorcycles? Chai, some mothers do have 'em
