With what I have seen so far on the thread, I can confidently say that Lagos is not the worst city in the world in terms of traffic congestion and standard of living. We are enjoying mehn.

I can't imagine myself going to work everyday in that overcrowded passenger trains, I will just leave the work and go to farm.

Lol.....If you check the pictures of L.A. traffic and some others, you will notice the drivers are on a straight line.

And we also have some that are in total gridlocks like that Cairo Tahir's square. Haba some of us are just born lawless.

I recall being stuck in a traffic jam in 2004 in Port Harcourt. Hold-up from Garrison to Eleme Junction. Left work by 8pm, got home by 3am. That was the worst experience of my life in terms of driving. The very worst.

And Nigerians will be migrating to overcrowded poverty stricken countries like India, when they themselves are all over Africa trying to make a living escaping their overcrowded country.

The 33-year-old, of Dhaka city, Bangladesh, explains:

'It is busiest on the trains in the mornings and evenings when people are coming into the city to work or leaving to go home.

'Those who fail to get a place inside the train end up climbing onto the roof or holding onto the sides and fronts of the train.'

These are some of the folks that when they escape hell at home and move to Lagos, you people will term them expatriates and give them MOPols. Why won't they feel like kings?

They leave home as early as 4:00am and get to work late after 8:00am.


In Nigeria, locals refer to traffic jams as "go-slows," and they are said to occur at any given moment throughout the day.

Lagos, Nigeria.

This country must be more useless than zoogeria
Explorers:
No one enjoys having to go to work in the mornings, especially if they have a commute from hell.

And that's precisely what these are.


Traffic jams and road congestion is something that everybody has to deal with either daily or at some point in their life.

Whether you are going to work, or coming back home, catching a train, making the school trip to drop off the kids, doing some shopping, travelling or simply trying to commute to work, busy roads can be incredibly frustrating.

100 people on a bus or train thats meant for 20 or sitting in your car and moving along as a snail’s pace is something that nobody enjoys.

However, over the past decade or so the problem has grown much worse.

A bigger distribution of wealth and cheaper cars mean that more people can afford to own a vehicle and with roads rarely being expanded or improved, they can’t keep up with the growth.

The problem is even worse in developing countries where until a few years ago, only the very wealthy could afford to drive.

Coupled with occasional treacherous storm or natural disaster, this has led to some truly incredible traffic jams that have caused more than a slight delay.



This country must be more useless than zoogeria

i beg to differ, look at the time of the day that those pictures were taken.

in two different sentences, you contradicted yourself.
we can infer from your statement that Lagos is not an organized city.
the question is why are you then proud to live in it

At 21 million people, Lagos has become Africa's largest city. It was only 1.4 million in 1970, so as you might imagine, traffic is rough.

That pic was the former Oshodi...See new photo from almost similar position
