By '73, Ikorodu Road was the only route out. We'd leave home like 5am and not be out of Lagos by noon.

I am of course exaggerating small, but we always arrived in my Orolu Kingdom of Ifon Osun well past 10pm. And no, we were not walking!

Ikorodu Road right through Lagos was a blessing and a wonderful playground while being built. And Lagos Ibadan Expressway made me my first what seemed like a million naira at the time. I sold 4 eggs for ₦1 and 50 kobo canned Coke at the tollgate, and damn the pain when kombi bus stopped on my foot.

Nigeria just doesn't want to get it right. All these congestion can be avoided by city buses.
But the demons gaining from the suffering of people will never see that happen

When Lagos was Lagos before it became a private organization with touts as the major stake holders

That was Lagos before a group of mentally unstable people turned it to a refugee camp after losing a senseless war they initiated.

Lagos started losing its beauty from 1970 and the reason is not difficult to decipher.

4 eggs for #1, that should be late 80's, I think.

And Ekene Dili Chukwu!

Those big buses were the worst to try to sell to! Hand will collect your stuff and it would disappear inside the big bus without payment!

And before anyone thinks it was Chukwu, there were a few Allah buses too!

Is this Joy of Motherhood or some other book

Tizu:
So by 1963 Lagos don dey get go slow ?

Dont mind people saying Tinubu developed Lagos. They know no better. Lagos has always been a top top city. A big magnate for a lot of brains and human capitals

What changed is our mentality.
Then we were closer to the Whites/Westerners and their standard. Now we want our freedom, chased them away now we are fast getting closer to the animal world than the Western world.

Our dads were more organized than us, ideally it should be getting better.

And under their rule, everything started to decay.

The marshmallow test, lol.

I wonder how many know this test, or would bother to look it up.

Immediate or Delayed gratification test for children.

Orderliness comes from knowledge of self. Knowledge of self means speaking your own native language, using that language to acquire knowledge, believing in your own God. Those three are common in all organized societies everywhere today.

Those people you saw in that picture were closer to being African mentally, spiritually, intellectually, culturally. That's why they were organized.

Yes, ideally it should get better but not when we've subsumed a foreign language, education, religion and alien identity that has separated us from our ancestors. The ethics and morals that should guide that continuity you so much desire have been severed and would continue to worsen. We must pay the price. We must pay the price for our stupidity because we continue to love what foreigners gave us instead of going back to be ourselves.

I would’ve contributed to your quote, but you made every point right, we’ve lost touch of our true identity in Africa, not just Nigeria.

That was before 'madiness' people started their influx from the east.

The good old days. Go slow has always being a part of Lagos

Traffic jam is part of any city that does not plan for high volume of commuters, whether today or 200 years ago.
