What does the blessing of God mean to you? It could mean landing that juicy job or contract, marrying the woman of your dream or building your own house.

But if you live in Lagos, more often, the blessing of God is a free road to attend that job interview or be at that business meeting on schedule or just get to work on time on your first day for that job.

Free Lagos road is certainly considered a divine favour when an accident has occurred and an ambulance needs to ferry victims to a hospital.

For millions of Lagosian, the Lagos traffic is one of the greatest headaches they face on a daily basis.

But if you have a smartphone on you, you can beat the Lagos traffic. The Google map comes handy almost all of the time. However, Google map can be quite unreliable on some occasions. I bet to say that sometimes, Google map get confused by Lagos traffic.

But from my experience, some Twitter handles offer more accurate and reliable Lagos traffic updates than Google maps.

These Twitter-handles leverage real-time updates from followers to keep you abreast of the most recent traffic updates at any given period.

Below are the top twitter-handles that you can trust to deliver real-time Lagos traffic updates on a daily basis.

1. @TrafficChiefNG:


TrafficChiefNg.com is the intellectual property of HexGEAR; an innovative IT company founded in 2002 and operating out of Lagos, Nigeria.

“The Traffic Chief App is a mobile-friendly Web App that lets you check the latest Traffic Reports for specific roads as reported by users in real-time. Users can act on these reports and make better decisions that will save them time, money and stress,” wrote Traffic Chief on its website.

The platform is also verified on Twitter @TrafficChiefNG with close to 40,000 followers.

2. @Gidi_Traffic:


At first, @Gidi_Traffic was just a twitter handle that enables people to navigate the chaotic Lagos traffic. But it has evolved over time, becoming a mobile application that caters to more than traffic updates.

The Gidi Traffic app, in addition to letting users share real-time transit information in Lagos, also alerts you before you approach police checkpoints, accident scenes, road hazards or traffic jams, and lets you scout the city for jobs, stores, people and places.

You can also make inquiries about anything and get replies instantly, as well as share traffic reports with your friends on numerous social networks.

4. @lagostraffic961:


The Lagos traffic radio is a community radio station that focuses solely on providing traffic updates in Lagos.

The station broadcasts on channel 96.1 FM and makes traffic reports entertaining. If you are driving in Lagos and had not the luxury of using the mobile phone, turning your car stereo to 96.1fm will help you know the route to avoid.

The traffic radio is also active on Twitter @lagostraffic961, with over 16,000 followers.

5. @followlastma:


When one talks about traffic in Lagos, what usually comes to mind is LASTMA. LASTMA stands for Lagos State Traffic Management Authority.

It is a Lagos State-owned agency under the ministry of transport. The agency was established in the year 2000 to transform the state transport system to ensure the free flow of traffic in the state and also reduce road accidents.

18 years, down the lane, one would say that LASTMA has lived up to its billing, for who knows what Lagos would be without an agency such as LASTMA.

As expected, the agency has an active presence on Twitter, with over 25,000 followers. If you follow them @followlastma, you can be certain of accurate and reliable traffic updates and road safety tips.
