Hello folks. Was not sure where to post this but since it has stuff to do with cars and roads, I have decided to drop it here. So guys, relax and enjoy the ever eventful commute between Lagos and Ibadan on the popular Lagos-Ibadan expressway. 4 Likes |

Hi guys. MTN was at it again yesterday. I could not upload more than those ones. Had to go fight at their outlet this morning. Even at that... Had to get an Etisalat to allow me continue. It should be an easy breeze henceforth... I hope. Ran into some traffic on 3rd mainland bridge. Heard it was due to som repair work. What kinda contractor does repair work just when rush hour's around the corner? danadam: I believe you enjoyed your trip. How's your benz doin? I can deduce it's a facelift W203. more pix. You are absolutely correct. It is a facelift W203. Amazing machine it is. Its over a year now and I'm loving every second with it. Her name is Lillian by the way... 4 Likes |

Just got out of the 3rd mainland traffic. You can see the traffic at Oworu build up too Apparently, those guys fixing stuff were the cause And here I am at Berger, 1 hr 6 minutes after I left Lagos Island. Whew! Lagos and traffic...

Re: My Road Trip From Lagos To Ibadan. Pictures! by freezy(m): 10:04am On Sep 23, 2013 |
Out of MFM Camp traffic. You can see the build up on the other side. It is always very bad. Folks spend a minimum of 2.5 hours in it

Men at work!!! . That notification is a joke Finally, just before getting to Sagamu, we begin to see signs of some JB construction work. My opinion o, but the guys fixing the Challenge - Toll gate (Ibadan) road dualization have work going on on a much larger scale... More like x10. Are the Federals not supposed to be the ones with the big guns ni?

Re: My Road Trip From Lagos To Ibadan. Pictures! by freezy(m): 10:41am On Sep 23, 2013 |
Rains are here... In full force. Looks like there's not much done on RCC's part

^^^^ And the road claimed the first victim, That car ran into a giant pot-hole and lost a tyre. No one was injured though. |
Re: My Road Trip From Lagos To Ibadan. Pictures! by freezy(m): 10:51am On Sep 23, 2013 |
Median clearance, median clearance, median clearance and then, another major casualty. This happened right in front of me. The Dangote truck tried to avoid a pot-hole and lost control. It flipped over and went "Boom! Crash! Bang! Boom!" as the tyres exploded when it landed on the ground. The sound of metal on tarmac with the accompanying tyre explosions were soooo loud! Jeez! it was on of my scariest moments this year. It looked just like a movie, except this was right in my presence. Had to park and let off some steam

Details of the truck as I drove by. That was the dude driving. Luckily, he came out of it alive.

Re: My Road Trip From Lagos To Ibadan. Pictures! by freezy(m): 10:56am On Sep 23, 2013 |
For no apparent reason, not like there's a cogent reason though, that goat is driving against traffic, endangering the life of other road users

Re: My Road Trip From Lagos To Ibadan. Pictures! by freezy(m): 11:00am On Sep 23, 2013 |
RCC has also decided to use some of the red & white road barriers. Dunno what they are for anyway. There is no indication of anything going on there 1 Like

I see the roads in Lagos aren't that bad. However, I can see it simply gets bad as soon as you pass Alausa area of the Lags-Ibadan expressway. By the way, I wonder why a class A highway like Lagos-Ibadan expressway isn't yet upgraded to an international super-highway standards...it's a shame to see cracks everywhere on that road 1 Like |
