Lagos is just unhealthily overpopulated...!

State governors should do better at investment and improving their states... Let their people back relocate abeg.

They need to start putting up escalators.
Escalators aren't cheap bro. Plus, boys go steal the parts overnight onto hustle mode.

There's a reason it's designed like that.

Merely looking at the road and the bridge constructed you will have an idea why the bridge had to be that way.

Or should it be done the conventional way and possibly some buildings will be demolished.

Obirodents lamentation thread, just looking for anything, both irrelevant and relevant to wail and gnash their teeth. Losers always complaining.
Imagine people who take night bus to Lagos as refugees will still be condemning any development in Lagos.

Why are people still selling stuffs under the overhead bridge? People no deh hear word. Why do they like to deface public amenities? Na Everytime govt go deh drive them comot the side.

Under the bridge? Even on the bridge itself so many people place their wares on the walkway

You can barely work 5 steps freely without doing zigzag to avoid stepping on wares

The government is bridging the gap between the rich and the poor to be more bigger to weak the poor both physically and mentally. By the time you trek on the pedestrian bridge 10X in one year with little or no food in your stomach you’d be weak, and you can’t shout we want revolution anymore . The more you fall into the poor gap the more you will suffer. You better hustle o

Are you an igbo or why exactly will one be complaining about overhead bridge built to safeguard the lives of the populace ?!

I wonder ooh! They would rather cross or run across several lanes and stand the risk of being struck by an of coming vehicle than leisurely walk over on a pedestrian bridge.

Government no build, them go heap insults and when Government eventually listen and build them go say e no fine , say e too long and e dey tire leg.... lipsrsealed

Maybe there's a structural explanation to this, but i do not know CCECC will be punishing people in the name of "Pedestrian bridge"

Currently seeing the one being constructed in front of LASU, and i can't imagine myself walking such a distance.

They should make these designs simple, abeg



I still don't get it.... pedestrian overpass in the 21st century . in a densely populated/high foot traffic area. What happen to traffic lights?... stop signs? ... if it's to get across an expressway why not build a flyover? It must be old men stuck in the past that are making decisions. Why make the elderly... the handicapped... the pregnant ... the ones with heavy loads ... the sick ... all go through this unnecessary mountain climbing exercise?

I'm not joking. If you climb that bridge you'll be panting by the time you get to other side.

It's going to make me reduce my visits to the market. I can't deal.

What of the elderly ones? Is this not punishment?

Try the one at Ikeja, make I see if you no go pant... Even the location no dey okay, the distance from it to the local government itself... When you come down,you'll now start trekking to the local government

Now, people just use the main bridge to get to computer village...

Good part about the pedestrian bridge is you can see inside the airport from there. so, when you get to the top of the pedestrian bridge, you just relax and feed your eyes a little
The good part about the

You know you can equally use the flyover opting out to use of pedestrian attached to the flyover.

But on a serious note, this pedestrian bridge has it's own advantages. It outweighs the disadvantages

See the new look of YABA that got everyone complaining bitterly including me.
The last time I went to Yaba was three months ago when the new fly over bridge was still under construction only to get there yesterday and discovered it has been completed and the road on the rail line that leads to tejuoso has been blocked and fenced off so everyone has to go through the fly over bridge to access tejuoso market and the bridge is unnecessarily long and exhausting.

I was there yesterday but had to go again today because yesterday the complex I wanted to get stuff was shut and according to the traders the govt was coming for inspection.

The way they built the bridges are not convenient cos you'll climb two long lanes before you'll get to another long lanes descending to the other side. Lagosian were complaining as they climb and descend. On the other wing there are stairs. I used the stairs today thinking it would be better than the other walkway and nearly fainted.

Is this to add to Nigerians suffering or better their lives because someone who's already experiencing hunger can not climb that bridge o.

Below are pics of the flyover.
God bless Gov.Sanwoolu
Re: See The New Yaba Look And Overpass That Got Lagosians Groaning by Mummyfour(f): 12:44pm On Mar 02
For the past 3 weeks I have been climbing that bridge. I have lost weight grin grin, because na serious exercise. Until I discovered the flat part of the bridge, I used to use the stairs and it was not funny with people running into you, or hitting you. Earlier in January there was one opening by the fence people used to pass through, but by the time I returned there in February, it had been blocked. So if you need to go over to the other side 10 times, you have to climb the stairs or use the other part. One day I almost collapsed due to exhaustion because I had to go on that bridge 4 times back and forth to purchase some items for someone o brought to the hospital around there
