I doubt there is any road worse than that place in Lagos. The only time you would not spend a minimum of 5 minutes in stand still traffic is between 12am and 3am on any given day.

I checked Lagos traffic on a Sunday evening at 11pm and all areas where green and free from traffic. Guess where was in deep red? Oke afa to Jakande and ikotun areas .

As we are speaking every other area in Lagos is free of traffic but just take a look at Jakande Gate and see the traffic. If you want to be depressed and frustrated just drive during rush hour from Iyana isolo to Gate.

LOL bro I hate that road, most at times I stays late hour like 12am before coming to ikotun anytime I have something to do in that area or visit, from Okota police station to nnpc na die always, also that.. Petrocam ⛽ station area after Iyana ejigbo na die.

When I used to stay around. I always had migraines just because of the thoughts of going back home. If I should just over sleep and wake up by 5:30am I already started that day badly. Jakande Estate was a lovely area because it was very spacious, very secure and used to have constant electricity and not parked like surulere or other areas in Lagos but the traffic was a major turnoff.

Ikeja_along to iyana ipaja! That traffic na die! 3rd mainland is a learner where that road dey. You.can comfortably prepare dinner on that road; hawkers sell everything from stove, to water, to groceries, ingredients, water and toothpick.

Mile 2 to apapa is not a traffic jam. That one na evil spirits dey do meeting regularly.

Barracks-volks-badagry na buy-one-get-one-free. If you are coming from island to volks, you may just end up getting to your gate by 4am and then turn around to return to work. No need to go home again.

Are all this ones traffic...
please you guys should come Lagos-badagry expressway( mile2-tradefair-barracks-volks-iyana-iba,alaba axis)... You'll give thanks for your complain on other road.
The only place Car, okada and Leg traffic happens at one for 4-5 hours..No wonder Lagos went to borrow money to do train on that road.

Going through Lekki to Sangotedo (to and Fro) in the Morning and Evening

From Mile 2 to badagry

Going from Mushin/Oshodi to Ikotun (Daleko bridge, Isolo Road, Oke-Afa, Jakande Gate, Canoe, Iyana Ejigbo, Ori-Oke, ) etc in the Evening
If you know , you know
Same applies in the Morning when going out


Going from Sango to Oshodi in the Morning and Going from Oshodi to Sango otta in the Evening is like Buhari winning another Term or Atiku winning bthe Presidential Election

Going from Ikeja to Maryland in the Morning and Evening is another good description of Traffic,

Ikorodu road is nothing to write home about

Costain to CMS is also very Badd

Pls don't wish ur sworn enemy an encounter with Apapa wharf Traffic on daily basis, it reduces life span

That of Agege to Iju Ishaga, Fagba, is Never to be imagined

Lagos residents are suffering from fast Ageing and too much Stress coupled with Multiple Projects simultaneously

It is well

So did the gateman permitted you?

Jarus:


The day I jammed this traffic, I begged one gateman to allow me to just park at their car park and let me continue the journey with bike. It was hellish.

I vowed not to ever drive on that road again: Along-Dopemu-Iyana Ipaja.

3rd mainland especially from Iyana’woro on a Monday morning. There was this time a radio presenter asked what people would do if they got to 3rd mainland on a Monday morning and there was no single traffic, only few cars on the road. Most people that called in said they would just turn back. Lol!

Notable mention: The current state of Cement to Iyana’paja road. You can conveniently stay 3/4 hours in this traffic.
