Ninilowo: different comments for different areas. if [b]U live in Ajangbadi and I live in VGC [/b]definitely we are going to have different views of Lagos.
The OP was talking about a panoramic view of Lagos, irrespective of Ajegunle or Banana Island. Traffic occurs both on the mainland and Island. Stop bragging jare!

The roads in Lagos are not so bad compare to many other states with less traffic. Traffic congestion is a result of poor road network and overcrowded cars. Lagos need to build more roads and few overhead bypass to ease traffic. Funny enough i love Lagos.

There is a difference between living and existing. Lagos lifestyle makes the inhabitants more of people who only exist; suffering and smiling. Most people in Lagos are unaware of their condition because they have not tasted the smooth city life in some other states capital in the country. Places where you kick your car, hit your friend's house at the other end of the city within minutes, and drive around to places of interest within couple of minutes. You leave work and hit home within 15 minutes, etc. In Lagos, one outing could consume your day and your weekend is ruined. The whole Lagos actually smell because of stagnant water/flood in the gutters and places. But people shouldn't hate LASMA because they have brought discipline to traffic. It used to be far worse when I lived in Lagos between 2000 and 2001. I only occasionally visit Lag now. It is too noisy, too many people, too many vehicles, too many smoke from cars, choked houses without space for children to play around some vegetation or field. Too serious a people, a sign they aren't actually happy. Lined up shops, long buses and molue packing people like sardine, the drivers and conductors are unnecessary aggressive and look like people who aren't concern taking good care of themselves; I sometimes wonder if they have homes and family to return to. A man with a wife dresses well to work, and not wearing dirty shirt trousers and boxers shorts in irritation of passengers. Lagos na wa!

Re: 7 Annoying Things About Lagos by chuquiz(m): 12:49pm On Jul 10, 2012
who started this thread for christ sake. Lagos is a concrete jungle,let it sink into your heads. its where you toil and increase faster than any part of the country. The facts about the environment can be disheartening cause i know its being supported by people who didnt have a clue of how to slug it out while they were here, hence , the damning post.
One thing, if you dont like it here , abeg dey go your papa village abi Abuja too don full?, or has boko haram made y'all reconsider returning to Eko??, lwkmd,no room!
