Driving in Lagos traffic is akin to being in a battlefield.

Lagos traffic is no place for pleasantries.

One cannot afford to play the “Mr. or Ms. Nice”. Otherwise – “express go leave you”.

Every other motorist is perceived as an enemy; an enemy that contends with you for any available traffic spaces ahead of you.

Lagos traffic bottlenecks makes motorists deliberately avoid making eye contacts with co- motorists. This way, they do not give co-motorists any opportunity to ask them for traffic favours.

Flashing your pointers to indicate that you intend switching lanes is always an exercise in futility. No one is generous or willing to let go of the space ahead of him or her.

In Lagos traffic, you realize that road signs indicating “One-Way Traffic” is just there to decorate the roads.

Also, in Lagos traffic, you are exempted from obeying traffic rules if you fall into any of the following categories: the police, army, government convoy, empty bullion vehicles, “danfos” with an official of the police, army, Man’O’War, as passenger, etc.

Then, there is the notorious Lagos traffic hawkers. Their business is to interest you in all imaginable commodities. Everything is available for purchase in Lagos traffic. From the essential to the outrightly ridiculous.

Lagos traffic makes you realize that you have some habits that you never knew you had. For instance, hollering a swear word, a curse or some expletives you never realized you knew at an offending co-motorist.

Sanity and patience rare commodities in this battlefield.

In Lagos traffic, it is all man for himself and God for all.

Can this be Lagos?

This definitely can be Lagos.

The Op must be high on expired taba or cow shitz

To the guy above me, I truly doubt if that's Lagos because of the orderliness of those cars, no sight of danfo, Tata, Brt or even petrol tanker
Nba that's not lagos

Only the brave can survive in Lagos.

You think you know what traffic looks like?

Wetn you dey find go there sef

OSHODI TO IYANA IPAJA AROUND 5PM TO 9;30 PM IS ALWAYS LIKE THIS.


WHO ELSE IS SEEING NO YELLOW BUS IN THIS FAKE PICS?

Dis is wat we call Hold up

With the population of Lagos state and the human traffic from other major cities around it and nationwide , Lagos State is long overdue for a subway system.

The Federal Govt. can do it but you hardly see the major stake holders of Lagos State using their political influence to get it done.

Lagos traffic is like war.

You do not tell your enemy your next move, just make a turn suddenly

LAGOS: A land of everyday hustling!

Lagos Na Waaaa..By the Way I need someone in Lagos to Squat with for the main time...please who can be of help.... A jolly good follow"...Help a brother

Can this be Lagos?

Lagos?

1. no single danfo? Hell nah

2. The other lane is free, if na Lagos? People don dey drive for wrong lane

3. 'Straight line' traffic? Not Lagos. Traffic here na Brownian motion

4. Where the coco, Gala, Juice, Pure water, Walnut, Bread, Snake, American visa hawkers?

...a three-lane road turned to seven-lane because of traffic...we are a country full of inventors...

Apapa (Truck Zone) is the worst

Papiikush:

lol... You will regret selling your car, trust me...

Am confused
So how do I cope na

Which kine thing be this
I can’t stay in 30 min hold up talk not to mention 2 hours

Hardly will you drive your automobile in Lagos for a year without getting it scratch . The yellow buses specifically. overpopulation is another factor causing the huge traffic and our rail system is not functioning.
