Fake news.

Lagos in SW got the best road network in the world.

NBS.
This is why you fail exams. If not that Abacha stole the money meant for your education, you would have known that there's difference between road network and road traffic. Don't always be in haste to show your mediocrity.

It's the docility of Yorubas that is making Lagos rot away in terms of infrastructure while we keep rejoicing over nothing... When are we going to check influx of Igbos into Lagos and other parts of Yorubaland?
What are they looking for in South West that they can't stay back and develop their own region??.

These are pertinent questions people are shying away from.. If I am Governor, I'll round them all up and dump them on Onitsha head bridge. Fashola did it, we need people that will checkmate their mass migration into Yorubaland.

what are you looking in the east...if not oil! divide the zoo please

Our dearest Lagos. That's the result of monopoly of economy practice in our dearest country.
Diversify the economy they said no. The want to teach the igbos Igbos a lesson.

Nonsense talk!
So,this one still de sleep and want Lagos,after Una colluded with the North - to create Abuja,so why una still de talk about Lagos,abi- Una don't miss road, because Abuja no de produce anything but de spend the Nigeria Money,abi?
Sebi,una say Lagos too congested,Lagos no roads,Lagos na Yoruba Land,take away the Capital from them,let's create Abuja( where Gumi and co.will teach you Herdsmen ways),so who now owns Abuja? Because Una Mumu, never do,now una don played into Northern tricks - so why this man de complaint na?
When the evil genius' IBB' ran away from Lagos, during June 12,1993,he thought Abuja was saved,then the People continued their agitations,he ran and put a notorious clause in the paper ' the most senior' to rule, producing Abacha,the same Abacha( OLE) that -Stole Nigeria blind-till date, Money Corruptly Stolen- is still being returned by the White People to Nigeria! Shame!
-Shame on those that think - Lagos will go down because the Capital moved to Abuja! The Economic Power remains here.
- Lagos is our Lagos!
- Lagos the Centre of Excellence
- Lagos,the Easiest place to get to other Countries like Europe,America,etc- by Lagoon or by Air!
- Lagos Lagoon,Lagos Sea-the best in Logistics Services and ALL Businesses!
All the White Men loves Lagos.
You don't know Nigeria, until you come to live and learn in Lagos!
-A New Lagos is here:
• New Airport
• New SeaPort.
• New Business Hubs and Economic and Production Centres.
• New Economic Development Growth and Plans•
• New Roads Inter- Changes.
• New InterCity- Railways.
God bless Lagos State and all the People therein!
You are welcome to Lagos.

The principal reason why I fled with a degree of finality all of 20 years ago.
How can I awake by 4 am and return home by 9 pm everyday.... for what.
Today, my commute is as sure and short the best google maps have to offer, the legendary '5 mins' with the symbol of an automobile.

Did some tourism to the place about 4 years ago and nothing, absolutely nothing had changed despite all the talk of great governance.
Well, perhaps it could have been worse, much worse.

Lagos State has been ranked as the city with the worst road traffic in the world.

This is according to Global Traffic Congestion Rankings 2023 by Traffic Index.


Latvian city, Riga, came second on the list, followed by Tehran, the capital and largest city of Iran.

In fourth place is Mexico City in Mexico, with Indian city Mumbai in fifth while Krakow in Poland occupied the sixth spot.

The truth is that Tinubu is the reason lagos state always come tops in every bad indices

Lagos is the second most unlivable city in the entire world

Lagos rated city with worst road traffic

Lagos state records abysmally low in other indices like Gross National Income per Capita, Life Expectancy, Human Development Index (HDI) Health Index, Educational Index, Income Index

He is now the president, under five months, over 180 million Nigerians have been pushed into multidimensional poverty

people from that side are bad managers....

Look at Lagos ! With all the advantages the state has look at where it is ....people stay in Lagos not that the state is fantastic it is just to make money out of the state

Exactly what I was thinking. Immediately I clicked on the post, I was scanning for New York.

By the way, what you said about decongesting lagos by developing neighbouring cities is very important.

Mugu if people leaves Lagos Lagos will be deserted city ...let me break it down for your petty brain


If 1 million people spends 1000 naira daily in Lagos and this is 1 billion per day

If these 1 million people leave , job opportunity leave, skills leave, spending leaves , people selling will find it hard to sell and a billion leaves the Lagos economy !

Now imagine if 2 million people leaves Lagos and these two million spends 2,000 daily which is 4 billion !


If people keep leaving Lagos ! Lagos will be desolate and the economy will crumble companies will fold up, they will not see competent staff to hire, they will not see market to sell their products etc

It's simple economics

Seriously as someone who has stayed in Abuja... Lagos people are really suffering... I went to lag last week stayed there for 3 days and I couldn't take it.... Beautiful city but 2 many people and d noise was something else.... I was goin to d island and my friend told me that if I'm not out by 5pm that I'll be late.... Ino fit abeg

I grew up in lagos, but I moved to Ibadan 7 years ago because of the congestion/over population in lagos... It makes moving around a nightmare. I'm around for a few weeks, and yesterday, I spent like 3 hours on a journey that normally takes me 30 minutes on Sundays. It's crazy.

CommonSense1967:
A big part of the reason is that Nigerians are so impatient. But they rather blame everything on govt.
The traffic in Atlanta is also bad, but it will be worse if the drivers in Atlanta act like the drivers in Nigeria.
I just got back to Naija today; while driving, I allowed someone to make a left turn. The next thing I realized was that all the people turning left refused to allow me to go. I eventually blame myself for trying to be nice.
In Atlanta and most parts of the world, people will take turns to go one by one but not in Nigeria.

This is another factor... Lagosians drive in crazy manner. And the public transport drivers don't make things any better the way they stop at any point to pick passengers, practically stopping in the middle of the road to pick passengers sometimes. They also most times park on the road, taking up one lane... All these things can be worked on to make the traffic conditions at least a little better.

smallest state by size but the largest
population & population density❗️❗️

Very true. Lagos is a concrete jungle... Every corner is highly populated... Go to Iyana Ipaja, see sea of people, go to Oshodi, people like water... Same with Mile 2, Mile 12, Ikorodu, Ikotun, Berger, Bariga, Makoko, Agege, Ijegun, Iyana Iba, Obalende, Ajah, etc... Everywhere is chocked up, and more people are moving into lagos every freaking day.

Back in the 1970's and 80's people called New York city a godawful city.

Even here in Nigeria, we used to hear jokes that if you parked your car in some parts of NY, the tires would be missing by the time you got back.

In the 1990's the city government, led by Giulliani, cleaned up the city. The work was continued by Bloomberg.

Today, people want to live in NY.

Better take this negative news as a challenge for your local APC government to do better. In fairness, tinubu started something, Fashola improved on it. Sadly, things haven't gone well since.
