To save yourslef stress when getting married in Lagos, make sure the church venue and reception venue is not too far away from each other. So that if the worst happens, everyone can just trek from church to reception. |

Seriously Lagos traffic is mad! I Remember going for a training but knowing what to expect, I left around 5:30 am using uber only to still meet a traffic jam....as in ehh I ended up getting to the training centre around 9:30am...and this is meant to be less than an hour journey! Those who reside at Lagos are really trying! 1 Like |

EyezofGod120:. Terrible traffic has made me trek from Iyanapaja to Oshodi. The shoe I used to trek was condemned. I couldn't use the shoe again because the e be like say I dey match ordinary ground when I wear the shoe. Sometimes in this terrible traffic, the people trekking are better off than the ones sitting in their vehicles. I trekked for like 2 and a half hours. My leg hear am that day. Lagos traffic can be very terrible ! |

Lagos traffic is unpredictable but Berger - Ikeja along - Egbeda - Shasha - Orisunmbare - Military zone - Idimu road in Ejigbo cld v been dia best route tho! Dunno what dey went to pick in ojota let alone oshodi sha |

The city of Lagos wasn't planned properly. They need someone like El-Rufai to put that city in order. Ffs it's only Lagos that you can buy food stuff and prepare soup while stuck in a traffic jam. The hold up is second to none. Sometimes, you would be a stone throw away from your residence but stuck in the jam for hours. 1 Like |

Islie: The day I made up my mind that I was done with Lagos was the day Dangotes daughter was wedding. I had a 5pm flight to catch to Enugu. Left ikoyi by 12 30pm reached airport almost 6pm. Horrible traffic Missed my flight and was rescheduled two days later. That day I made up my mind that I was done with Lagos. |

Mchenryfreeman: Really!!!?? Lagos is overcrowded. Imagine a kirikiri prison or Panti cell meant to accommodate maximum of 4 people but inside is 400 people. Lagos needs a metro train link that is more efficient than London Underground. 1 Like |

Estanie: Impatience is a tertiary issue. Lagos transport system is a huge embarrassment and a terrible mess. |

If I'm the father I would have give them order to go ahead with the wedding. Let another elderly person from the family represent me. |

Crochet: Absolutely right! They could also have stayed with relatives within town overnight. I once lodged in an hotel overnight to attend an Uncle's funeral within Lagos. I couldn't risk moving from one end of town to another on a Friday morning. After Service of Songs on Thursday, I checked in and got to the Church within 5 minutes early the next morning. Aiye o le. Always wise not to gamble with Lagos traffic. 1 Like |

Haba!!!That's high risk miscalculation, leaving Arepo 12:30pm for an event at Ejigbo at 2pm. Two different Ogun/Lagos Axis, And also no knowledge of faster route to take. They fumbled. |

kalvoken: I always check my google map, to know the right means of transport to go by at that moment, bike brt or danfo. If I am driving I will just relax and enjoy the music |

WhisperedNoise: Yours was good bro, 7am - 12-30pm. There was an era when you have to pay your land use charge bill to the bank and take your teller to Alausa to get receipt and cleared. I left Ikorodu garage at 9am and got to Ojota at 3:45pm. I was about turning back at that junction because the normal Alausa staff won't attend to you at such time, called Dad to update him and encouraged me to get to Alausa, funny enough the trip to Alausa was really free and I was attended to that day. Since I relocated out of Lagos since 2017, I've been grateful honestly. I even wake up 7:30 here and still get to office before 8am. Na real Eko for show. 3 Likes |
