I spent nine hours in traffic in that location before Easter last year. I had just descended from the lokoja bridge on my way to kwali when I met the gridlock. A journey that should last about two hours from that point became a journey of nine hours.

The Madness on Abuja - Lokoja Highway

It's very easy to blame government for every thing including what we do wrong!

I was heading for my Families annual Christmas reunion, 30 minutes into the trip and a huge  grid lock was steering at us in the face total stand still for almost 5 hours 

This is the first time commuters will be using the fully dualised four lane highway constructed by the Goodluck administration as such I expected a smooth journey because the road was one of the best in the country.

The Federal Road safety Corps (FRSC) were fully mobilised and to their credit they gave their all  today, but impatient Drivers on Nigerian roads had other plans 

1. They created 4 lanes on the side heading into Murtala Bridge and additional 3 lanes out of the bride completely blocking traffic out of the East without any reason whatsoever! 

2. Senior police officers and senior government functionaries  also did not help matters their  Siren blaring pilot pick up vans helped create the nightmare witnessed on that road today because they violated every known traffic rule driving against traffic at will and disrupting every attempt by the FRSC to bring sanity to the road 

Several travellers will spend Christmas on that road today becos many vehicles broke down largely due to over heating !

Chief among the offenders on that road today are

1. Police special protection unit  

2. NSCDC senior officers 

3. Peace mass Transit 

4. Young shall Grow 

5. Mini Bus commercial Drivers 

6. Commercial golf Cars , and senior government functionaries with sirens (Federal, state, Local Govt, traditional rulers just name them all broke the law and messed up things today)

Worthy of Commendation is the attitude of the ABC transport drivers   and Men and officers of the Nigerian Army and the FRSC 

Below is the situation as at this afternoon!

May God Help us to change our bad attitude on the road

God Bless Nigeria  


At bolded. How far have you gone on that road to make that conclusion? The road is still materially under construction with diversions to single lane at many spots hence the gridlock. What then make it one of the best roads in the country in its present stage? The section handled by Bulletine is already failing even before handover while at least four bridges are still being constructed. We just pray that SURE-P will substantially fund the project to completion in 2015.

While the drivers could do better with some patience, they are not entirely to blame.

The problem in Nigeria is not the government alone. The average Nigerian is worse than the government.

This is why I want one strong military Man to lead a coup de tat and help bring back discipline to the country.

They all steal money, military or political, but military has something to show for the masses.

May we never ever experiÉnce any major calamity in this country.

This is just people travelling for Xmas.

Imagine a situation where maybe there is chaos and anarchy say from boko haram and people have to move in panic mode to run across the murtala muhammed bridge!

No chaos, nigerians are still nor orderly or respect turn by turn vehicular movement, what if there is chaos and panic and peps just got move to save their lives, then it means people would just get stranded and whatever is pursuing u would just catch up with u right there,

I remember 7 years ago before the road was dualised, I spent xmas on that very same spot because of traffic gridlock. Now I'm wondering , after the road has been dualized people still suffer the same thing.

What is it with Nigerian and impatience, disorderlyness, no respect for rule of law?

Nigeria is not a country I'm sorry to say the least.

Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria.

Can there ever be law and order in this country?

This leads me to my last line..

Pls Vote Buhari come 2015.

We must get it right.

#TeamGMB. Sai Buhari.
