I spent 20 hours on traffic at Lagos-Ibadan expressway. I was coming from OAU after my exams to Lagos on December, 2006. During the period, Redeemed church was having a crusade at their prayer camp and the whole buses coming from different parts of Nigeria jammed together at Redeemed camp on Lagos Ibadan expressway. It was a serious traffic and no mobility of cars and vehicle throughout the day.

Our bus got to Redeemed camp on Lagos Ibadan expressway by 1pm and we left that same spot by 10:30am the next morning. I can never forget the travel experience on that day. Because all passengers slept in their buses overnight on the expressway. Street hawkers began to sell pure water at 20 naira and bottle water at 100 naira in the night.

Traffic begins to ease when government sent Nigeria army the next morning. Trust Nigeria Army, they did a very good job compared to Federal Road Safety Corp.

Now, this is phenomenal.

Bros, they are not joking o. I have spent more than 8 hours all within Berger and Redemption Ground and at the end of the day i went back to Lagos when there was no way. At the sametime, i remember a year around 2008 in Challenge to Iwo road Ibadan Expressway, there was a traffic during ileya that lasted for almost 24 hours, people turned the expressroad to Praying Ground that ileya day and some killed their ram on the express road. This is not a joke but reality.

On a particular Thursday, it rained heavily in Lagos and right from Sandfill on the island to Ogudu on the mainland, we were moving at a snail speed. It took us 4 hrs 45 minutes to get to Ogudu bridge where we saw the tanker that broke down...

Since that day I prefer to take the BRT route, at least one will be inside AC and not at the back of a Sienna without ventilation or AC.

Another unforgettable experience was when I was serving in the north and decided to do Cow and Ram business, I bought some animals and decided to do brisk sallah business. A journey that started on a Thursday ended on Sunday, the hold up started from Mokwa Niger state all the way to Bode Sadu Kwara state, the road was bad and I was at the back of the Dangote truck together with the animal. It was crazy as shit but I enjoyed the adventure. My people couldn't recognize me when I got to my place.

Long bridge before arepo something last year on my way to Abeokuta, I spent roughly 5 hours on that bridge and it was due to a tanker accident involving several vehicles. I eventually got to arepo around 5pm since 11:30am and my temperature was above normal so I decided to pullover at that filling station at arepo bus stop because my thought was that my fan had stopped working but Immediately I opened the bonnet lo and behold my fan was perfectly working but the overheating was due to the long hours with my ac on without switching off the ignition, I waited for some couple of minutes for the temperature and engine to cool before I continued my journey to abk.

Was in Lagos last two months... Traffic at Volts and Costain nearly made me suffocate. Right now going to Lagos scares me.

I spent two weeks in Lagos, the stress I experienced within those period; I've never seen such here in Abuja for the past years. I was on traffic for whole five hours just to cross over to Agbara that's not up to twenty minutes drive.

Suffering dey that state.
Just five hours? Try to drive from Oshodi to toll gate along Lagos-Abeokuta on Friday evening
8hrs you still dey road.
