The Oshodi-Apapa expressway is one of Nigeria’s most economically crucial roads.

It leads to the Apapa and Tin Can ports. These ports are where Nigeria generates a large chunk of its national income.

Tragically, this important expressway and other major roads around it have become a source of pain, sorrow, agony and national embarrassment.

This Oshodi-Apapa expressway – especially the Mile 2-Tin Can axis of the expressway -  has been taken over by hundreds of thousands of fuel tankers, container-laden articulated vehicles and sundry trucks heading for the Tin Can Island Port or the fuel tank farm at the Trinity Bus Stop area.

At the Mile 2 portion of the expressway towards Tin Can Island Port, there is literally no road. What used to be the road is now a dilapidated, potholes and craters-infested stretch.

Simply, the stretch of road from Mile 2 to Tin Can is a picture of monumental filth.

In 2015, when Babatunde Raji Fashola was appointed as the Federal Minister of Works, Housing and Power, Lagosians breathed a sigh of relief.

The expectation was so high that - as a Lagos boy - the road would be of utmost priority to the Ministry he heads.

Sadly, it has not shown to be so.

Wrong country!

Everyone thought that with the APC at the Federal and state level, the roads will be fixed ASAP, but the reverse is what the nation is experiencing.

what do you want the graduates to do?

After being unemployed in they states for a while, they have to try their luxk in Lagos /Abuja

Nigeria is one confused dead country

The state govs that should be working hard to attract investment to their state are f**king up.

Lagos is just lucky that it is the centre of commerce

if not the sane thing that troubles other States would have been troubling Lagos
