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
You drive 80-100km/hr for a 15 minute journey? and every one else probarbly wants to or does the same, sad that's why you people are all held up.

Have you people never heard of cycling? .

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

Don't mind people who don't know anything. I worked on a construction site somewhere in V/I in 2014 and had two colleagues who worked with me on site. One lived in Egbeda, the other in Iyana Ipaja. The one that lived in Egbeda had his family in Ibadan and used to go to Ibadan over the weekends. Now while we left site, the one heading to Ibadan would have got home in Ibadan while the Ipaja man would still be in traffic. So we used to joke that is it not even better to be coming in every morning from Ibadan to Lagos than living in Lagos itself?. Such is the irony of Lagos, and if you look at it critically if not that our leaders are bunch of morons, the ideal way to decongest Lagos is to create fast rail system that can bring people in from neighboring town (Ibadan and abeokuta plus sagamu) allowing people work in Lagos and live in those cities.

The
earlier the better these people allow everyone to go back to their normal business. Whether we like it or not covid-19 is already in our midst and the only way out is for everyone to take to all the preventive measures stated by NCDC. We can't shut Nigerians out. They must hustle for their daily survival.

Stubborn people
keep your mouth shut, are u living in Lagos? If you are living in Lagos, you will understand the meaning of traffic. Just imagine someone leaving office at Apapa and around 3 O'clock going to Gbagada and till 10 o'clock you are still on the road never get home.

you still don't get it. There are times when the road is free. e.g by 4am-5am you can afford to drive at that speed because cars are not many on road. You can't do that at 6, 7, 8am and 4pm which are traffic peak hours. And please note that no one tries to run with a car when you have traffic. You can only run when the road is free. That is how you come about determining the normal travel time and during traffic hours as I told you.
On cycling, you have traffic laws in Lagos against motor cycles, you wouldn't want to use a bicycle for a 15minutes drive distance due to the energy you can use, that is after working tired at work plus high risk of accidentYou will not understand but believe me, it is not as simple as you think.

Yes, the situation is that pathetic. The metro line is completely on hold, I don't know why. The tiredness occasioned by traffic sometimes outweighs the one due to work

Last week Tuesday I slept on d road it was like a movie. Police blocked incoming and outgoing bound vehicles on the Lagos Ibadan expressway.

Mosquitoes bite my life not forgetting the cold. I fell ill for 2 days and couldn't go to work the next day.

Same thing almost happened yesterday but I dodge am pass grin

It's not funny sha this curfew should be scrapped let everything return to normalcy.

You need to see d traffic this morning, LagBus doesn't load full passengers anymore, bus fare has shot up, I'm tired of everything. sad

How many of the people you see there are taking the preventive measures?

How many of them can be arrested when the IGP has ordered that no one should be in his cells?

How many of them can be tried without overwhelming the court?

Even educated people would flaunt the measures. How much more, illiterates who don't even believe in the existence of a virus.
