That hold-up pic is something every Lagos fan or Lagosian has experienced since circa 1990.

Until you mentioned Abuja which is nowhere near Lagos congestion.

The Mile 2, Amuwo Odofin, 3rd Mainland Bridge and Lagos-Ibadan Expressway till Berger and thru Mowe-Ibafo, Ikorodu Road... check out Sango before IYana ipaja and Abule Egba Flyivers... Apapart

I won't go to A papa for up to 8years now
Lagos get this tin well well

Yea.true.
Most hold ups here are within short distance.
The major area for hold up is the redemption camp area.
I don't know if people still experience it

In Abuja here.i haven't seen hold up where you get stuck for 20 to 30mins

Four elementary driving lessons to grab from the images are:

1. Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
2. Observe lane discipline.

It is difficult to observe from those images but those drivers ideally would have:

3. Dimmed their headlamps (in slow moving traffic at night) so they do not impair the vision of the driver in front with its reflection in his rearview mirror.

4. Used their handbrakes instead of keeping their feet on the brake pedal for similar reason above but this time for the driver at the rear.

And these things are rather simple to do but our unlawful and reckless driving habits in Nigeria have sadly; just like many other of our compound problems, grown to become a part of our culture. It is right before our eyes every day.

I'd be happy to help our Nigerian governments initiate and establish a change of driving culture if they have the vision AND will; including political will, to implement something of that sort.

We do have a loong way to go though, but somebody in authority really needs to do something about the way we drive in Nigeria. Not helped by the state of those satanic traps we call roads where lives are being damaged and lost needlessly day in and out cry

See as eariel view cute, even traffic go dey hungry one to enter.the usa must have been made by a different God
and after seeing these great organisation and orderliness,one black man somewhere in africa,precisely nigeria,who does not follow simple traffic rules or any rules that seek to provide sanity,expects to share the same heaven or hell with them simply because they share same religion. I laff.

The congestion is orderly sef.

The whites are headlamps and the Reds are brake lights
Scatter it, to know if a helicopter won't pick away your car from there immediately.

No bumper to bumper. All lanes are properly maintained.
I prefer to be in this traffic jam for 7days than to be in Lagos traffic for 1 hour.

I cannot forget that day I stayed for three and half hours from Lekki phase one to Mile 12. It was a night I remembered the day it took us four and half hours to shuttle Onitsha and Lagos.
