Rossikki:The central business district is zoned for tall buildings, but most of the lots are empty. |

plaindealer:Actually, the traffic situation is Lagos is worse than Kano. They built that interchange in anticipation of the future. If traffic grows in Lekki, that road system will need to be upgraded. |

I'll admit I was wrong about this one. The roads in this area are actually quite well organized. But we should never lose the drive to do better. |

plaindealer:The flyovers allow for faster flow of traffic, which reduces congestion. But these images you show look good enough for the circumstances in Lagos. When was this completed or is this a rendering? |

plaindealer:O.K those actually look quite good. Impressive. Google earth must have been using an outdated image. |

Kingdemu:"Biafra" should only be the Igbo states along with Cross River and Akwa Ibom (which will be in a semi-autonomous region). Oduduwa should be the Yoruba states with Lagos as a semi-autonomous region. Awerra should be the Northern states with Boko Haram governing the Kanuri people in the North. The rest should be Nigeria with its capita Abuja in the center. All of these countries will be economically integrated with a common currency and military. But the governments should be separate. |

Rossikki:No it won't. Abuja's skyline is low because there is no demand for office space. |

Rossikki:When have you heard me complain about Abuja's road system? Abuja is great. The only problem with Abuja is a low skyline. |

The Ghanaians are even laying one of the most sophisticated roads in West Africa. The road stretches for several kilometers.

While the governors in Kano are building common-sense transportation projects to improve the lives of their citizens, the government of Lagos is sleeping. Kano built this for 4 billion naira. 1 Like 1 Share

There are at least 5 locations like this in Lekki. How do you expect drivers to navigate this nonsense without even providing traffic lights?

Instead of building a complex interchange here, the Giant of Africa decided to draw stripes on the road -- leading to accidents and massive traffic congestion. They were saving the funds to build a rail link to Maradi, Niger Republic.

Rossikki:But so-called cost-benefit analysis didn't defeat the $1.5 billion rail link to Niger Republic or the "worlds largest gas powerplant" in Maiduguri. The biggest problem in Lagos right now is extreme traffic. |

plaindealer: The interchange allows a driver coming from the north to go either South, East or West, while the typical interchange only allows you to go south or West, putting strain on other parts of the road network. Something like this will be useful in Marina District, Lagos.
