Lagos expanded rapidly by population but not by infrastructure. There’s no room for expansion except on the outskirts of town or we start ferrying people across and buses and public transport ply their own lane. Main intersections need expanding and some traffic lights timed appropriately. More express roads always free up the inner city roads people will have an alternative check out lekki alternative route a better road frees up traffic.

Gas stations are on major roads but because of queues it adds to the traffic but if you expand the road and isolate gas stations then even if they have a queue which in sane societies there is seldom one. Once we get rid of our penchant to make life difficult we will build the city of our dreams
You're right..

Of all the pictures of present-day Lagos out there, you had to pick an unflattering one? What's your real agenda?
This even old picture of Oshodi
If he had chosen recent pictures of Oshodi,he will know that new Lagos is more organized than the past

I pass this road regularly and it's not as orderly as you all paint it to be plus you could get robbed or stabbed along this axis in Oshodi.

If you say overpopulation you're wrong.
They're cities in China and other nations in the world more populated than Lagos as a whole but you don't see this..
This is as a result of poor planning..

Thats a very old picture of Oshodi, it has evolved. Update yourself.

And in those countries they don't have cities with exactly same traffic situations? Nobody is excusing nothing but making it look like the whole of Lagos is exactly that picture, you and I know is false!

'Undeveloped parts' how? You showed pictures of Lagos traffic and you are calling that 'undeveloped parts'? Is there developed and undeveloped traffic anywhere in the world? Just come out and tell us your real agenda oga. No need to disguise.

If u don't agree that d pictures of Lagos traffic he shared are not 'undeveloped parts', why are u asking for his agenda? Is the picture of Lagos traffic not in Lagos?
