People only move when they see better opportunity outside. It's assumed the lagos Ibadan rail will some to move. There's cheaper housing and they can commute to work in lagos if need be. There's places just as population dense singapore that still move effectively. It's just requires planning.

I disagreed with your third point Okada has no business with traffic there movements are just jump and pass, okada doesn't course traffic.

Apart from bad road, some drivers are just something else.

Nigerian drivers are the major cause of traffic , whether danfo,keke,or private cars most of them in a sane society shouldn't be driving.

Simple traffic light,they feel they are too big to open traffic light especially when lastma is not around.

They are fond of creating an extra lane then double crossing the other lane thereby causing traffic.
If the lane is two,they will find a way to make it three,no patience at all.

Lie Lie Lie

Lagos holdup is caused by

Morning: Workers that are too relaxed to get to work due to terrible boss, unhealthy office politicking or underperformance

Night: Men that wish not to get home early due to due to terrible wife

More like Lagos need to be redesigned

Lagos is not more congested than say Tokyo or Mexico city

The planning was just wrong

If we had the epicentre of the city in the middle of the city; and say a smaller epicentre at two opposite ends of Lagos
Lagos won't be like this

But since the epicentre is the Island
And there are only three bridges to link millions who are coming from the mainland
This mess has become Lagos story

We created a new section on cotenant which Make it easy to get people to share rent, what this means is for example you couldn’t find a shared apartment on cotenant or any apartment that suite your taste, you could actually find a rent partner on cotenant that is you pair with someone and the both of you can rent lets say a 2 bedroom flat together on each other terms

We know getting shared apartments is not an easy task.

What you gain

Cost of rent is spilt

cost of fees like commission and agreement is split

Cost of bills like Nepa, Security is split too

You get to meet your potential room mate

And you both can rent a better property together

The most common cause of traffic in Lagos is too many vehicles on the road, also fewer road networks.

During the early few days in January, come and see how free the road is, and that's because most road users have gone to their villages for the holiday.

I think more road network will solve some of our problems of traffic jams, most especially flyovers.
100 percent correct
