shocked

Just because other truthful, working and well-organised countries gave curfew which most have already relaxed theirs, Nigeria too follow give just to feel among.

In most major cities esp Lagos, it's practically impossible for people to beat the curfew because most people live far away from their workplace coupled with the traffic.

How do you expect such people to return home before the said curfew kicks off.

This is where you see our security agents and govt exercise their power on hapless citizens but to give palliatives for these same people, they cannot.

I'd say it served them right.
How? Have you lived in Lagos and got caught in its holdup before? I said it from the time they announced it that curfew cannot work in Lagos with its traffic issue. People are still caught in traffic on an ideal day till 10-11 in the night. How will they be able to get home by 8pm when they are still in traffic till 10pm. Only a Daura man can think of such curfew for Lagos after relaxing lockdown. In Lagos you either lock down or let people be. No middle ground.

Most lagosians are naturally disobedient. They will know curfew starts by 8 but will still be wherever they are by 7.45. They will say nothing dey happen. If police stops them, you will hear "do you know who I am?"

They are lucky it is not PH. All of them for hear am
people in rivers are slaves to Wike, Unicef, WHO and all reasonable peoples have said lockdown time has passed, but Wike lock you guys up without any palliative, shame.

Lagos situation is a bit unique and more complex. From my house to where I work is 15mins drive. But sometimes I use over 3 hrs to home due to devilish traffic. My office at mainland close by 4pm now, but my friends in close proximity to me do reach their homes by 7:45 or 8pm on bad traffic days. Someone say 8pm curfew cannot work in Lagos and I agree with him.

Well said, many people don't understand the intricacies of lagos. A 20mins drive can take you 4hours as if you are going to Benin

if the distance between your house and office is only 15 minutes, so why do you need the car for this Short journey.

I say drive, mind you. It doesn't mean leg. If i am trekking, it can take me over 1 hour, after hard day's work, which is not possible. But on a free road, I can drive 80-100km/hr and reach my office. So there is a difference between trek/time and drive/time distance
