You don't get. Port Harcourt didn't make it to the list same way Aba. Ibadan etc didn't make it.

They are not up to the rank of a major city that Forbes was ranking.

Ok, I get you now.
Re: Lagos Ranked 3rd Worst City For Drivers Worldwide By Forbes by BeijinDossier: 7:56am On Jan 22, 2018
The reason is very simple. Over 30% of Nigerian population are in Lagos.

Solution: Open/Decentralize Ports: PH, Warri, Onitsha and Calabar Ports for ships to berth directly.

Multinationals should be moved at least by 30% to other regions.

Major federal government agencies should be moved to other regions at least by 40%.

Lagos determines at least 50% of everything that happens in Nigeria. If you don't stay in Lagos, you come around for your shipments. Some come down to access the international airport. While some come down for sharp hustles and leave within short period, others come around for visitation, schools and the likes.

The write up actually mentioned cities and since Nigeria is not a city but a country, I focused on its no 1 city, Lagos for judgement.

Modified : The topic has been changed from Nigeria to Lagos.

Ambode is busy giving “free” trash bags that he cannot sustain instead of recruiting and paying traffic wardens and control officials to redress this unfortunate situation.

If it was before YES but not anymore now. The Government have taken drastic measures to tackle those issues in Port-Harcourt.

Please be kind to list those measures...I stays in PH. With the end of TIMARIV, driving in PH have degenerated into madness.

Forbes has just published the list of the best and worst cities for drivers around the world. Lagos is located in the 3rd worst city for pilots in the world just after Calcutta, India and Karachi Pakistan.
The 2 best cities are Dusseldorf, Germany and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. See the full list below


source: http://love4today.com/2018/01/20/lagos-ranked-3rd-worst-city-drivers-worldwide-forbes/

Lagos should be first on that list.
the lagos state government is completely clueless on managing traffic in the state,the civil way we enjoy during fasshola era completely went down the drain as soon Ambode was sworn in.

most of the roads in lagos is completely bad and under construction for almost a year.

generally african and nigeria as whole has chronic problems when leadership is concerned.

is only in africa you don't know that time is money you used all your productive hour in traffic everyday and yet you expect new things to happen.
Re: Lagos Ranked 3rd Worst City For Drivers Worldwide By Forbes by Nobody: 8:23am On Jan 22, 2018
Lagos is technically the worse.

The other cities that occupied number 1 n 2 would likely be cities within like Yemen n Syria............Civil war.

i understand what u trying 2 say. U are talking about d xteristics of Lagos as regards d topic. I questioned ur inference cos 4 it 2b scientific, then u should have an idea of d traffic situation in other cities of d world. Just d same way u can talk about Lagos, can u talk about other cities like that and do a comparative analysis with Lagos?
Re: Lagos Ranked 3rd Worst City For Drivers Worldwide By Forbes by oladipupo2234: 9:06am On Jan 22, 2018
i can't agree less. trekking sometimes is faster than driving. Lagos is congested, crazy road users especially the commercial bus operators, bad roads everywhere, e.t.c. Even where you expect the road to be free like driving on the standard Lekki Epe expressway, you will be surprised to see long traffic in the wee hours of the morning just before the toll gate caused by one useless Quilox club.
