Traffic in Lagos is not something new. It has been like that for over 30years.

Public Service Information :Two people from the same family died on Wednesday in UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL,UCH-IBADAN NIGERIA. The test results showed that they died due to Leptospirosis. Infective Organism was on the can drink they drank without use of glasses/cups. The Cans were infected with dried urine of Mice containing Leptospirai. Can drinks are stored in warehouses & delivered to retail stores without cleaning. Study shows that the top of all beverage cans are more contaminated than public toilets. So clean Top end of Cans with water before opening & DO NOT put ur mouth to it..Please SHARE This msg; as I did with you. God bless you.

The drivers of those days actually went to driving school and the painted taxis looked new.

Doesn't look like 1982 to me. More like late 80s or early 90s.

This mid 90s, most likely. Far from 1982!
