Politics › 3 New Flyover Bridges In Lagos: Some Of Akinwumni Ambode's Legacies (PHOTOS) by AutoJoshNG(op): 2:29pm On Mar 05, 2019

Some weeks before his unceremonious elimination from a re-election attempt, Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode gave the approval for the construction of a flyover bridge at Fagba intersection, at the Iju-Ishaga axis.

According to him, this is to ease the perennial traffic gridlock and reduce travel time within the axis.

The proposed flyover bridge at Fagba would have brought to 4 the number of bridge projects that the Ambode administration would have embarked upon if he had been re-elected as the governor of Lagos state. We can only wait to find out if the next Governor of Lagos state will continue the Fagba flyover bridge project.

Nonetheless, just within a four-year tenure, Governor Ambode was able to construct 2 new flyover bridges and started another one that is fast approaching completion.

The proliferation of brand new flyover bridges at diverse locations in Lagos state is part of the elaborate length that the Ambode administration went through to provide a solution to the legendary traffic challenge in Lagos state.

Autojosh.com chronicles the bridges –flyovers – that the Ambode administration have built and is currently constructing across Lagos state.

Travel › Why Do The Law Enforcers Tolerate Hanging On Vehicles On Roads In Lagos (PHOTOS) by AutoJoshNG(op): 1:34pm On Mar 05, 2019

It has become a common sight on roads in Lagos state.

It is the sight of some commuters standing on the rear bumper of a mobile Danfo.

Clearly, this is a high-risk adventure - perhaps, suicidal.

There is so many inherent danger from such dangerous behaviour. For instance, the bumper might cave in to the weight of the person standing on it. This might lead to the person falling off the mobile Danfo. Things can get worse if there is another vehicle trailing the Danfo closely.

Interestingly, the traffic law enforcers in Lagos state appear to turn blind eyes to this deviant method of commute in the state.

Perhaps, they are waiting till a fatality occurs before adequate measures against the practice are taken.

A bumper is a structure attached to or integrated with the front and rear ends of a motor vehicle, to absorb impact in a minor collision, ideally minimizing repair costs.

The bumper - front or rear - was not designed to carry heavy weight.

7. Sometime in June 2018, the Asaba Bridge was temporary shutdown to motorists for a promotional photo shoot on the bridge for a fashion show.

Politics › "Make Our Wet Dreams Come True" Written On Sanwo-Olu's Campaign Car (Photo) by AutoJoshNG(op): 5:23pm On Mar 04, 2019

Babajide Sanwo-Olu - the Lagos state APC gubernatorial candidate - might have a lot more capabilities that a lot of Lagosians might not be aware of.

Perhaps, an inkling of one of such capabilities was depicted on a branded campaign car.

The inscription on the car reads, "Make our Wet Dreams Come True. Sanwo-Olu Can Fix It".

Apparently, the promoter of that message knows something that other Lagosians don't know. Lol.

Seriously, was there no one to proof-read the message before it was printed?

See photos below.

Being a celebrity or even a public figure is not easy especially when you’re a Nigerian or base in Nigeria. To be frank, if you’re a celeb in Nigeria, you can’t just dress anyhow, live in anyhow type of place or drive anything you want. If not, you’ll land yourself in gossip blogs how you’ve gone broke. Trolls will always find a way to attack you with every slight chance they get.

Some of the things the public or your fans expect from you are to have nice house(s), wear good clothes and then drive top notch car(s).

In this post, we are bothered about the car aspect of the whole thing. We would like to talk about the top 7 cars most Nigerian celebrities buy.

Please, we just have to forget about the super cars and channel our focus to somewhat regular cars. You won’t see Lambos, Masaratis, Porsches on this list.
Below is the list of 7 cars most Nigerian celebrities buy

1. Toyota Camry:

This is most of the time considered to be the starter pack of Nigerian celebrities. The Camry is not just the 2007 – 2011 models (Muscle), the 2012 model is among. We don’t have to mention the DJ’s, OAPs, actors that started with this; there are many of them.

Travel › This Is The First Aircraft To Land In Nigeria; In Kano (photo) by AutoJoshNG(op): 2:30pm On Feb 24, 2019

https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/first-aircraft-to-land-in-nigeria-kano-1925.jpg?resize=600%2C450&ssl=1

https://autojosh.com/first-aircraft-land-nigeria-kano-1925/

The history of Nigerian aviation can be traced back to November 1, 1925, when the first aircraft to ever land in Nigerian landed in Kano.

90 years ago, an aircraft belonging to the Royal Airforce (RAF) – De Havilland DH 9A – touched down Nigeria.

The air trip to Nigeria from Helwan (a town in Egypt) was led by the then Flight Lt. Coningham.

Nigerians awaited the arrival of the aircraft re-scheduled to land by 5pm. At 5.10 pm on 1 November 1925, Coningham landed the aircraft on a polo ground outside Kano’s ancient walls.

There were crowds of about 20,000 people who came to witness the first aircraft to land in Nigeria.

Vincent Orange’s book, the “Coningham: A Biography of Air Marshal Sir Arthur Coningham”, vividly captured the expedition.

Kano residents only saw plane again ten years after the Coninghams’ departure when Imperial Airways aircraft landed during the reign of Emir Abdullahi Bayero in 1935.

Coningham who is the pilot that landed the first aircraft in Nigeria was presumed dead on January 30, 1948 when the airliner he was flying to Bermuda got missing off the coast of USA. Hi death remains one of the unsolved mysteries of the aviation history. His whereabouts is still not known till date.

Travel › Tanker On Bridges: Why Can’t There Be A Permanent Solution? by AutoJoshNG(op): 2:59pm On Feb 22, 2019

It is no more news that the petrol tankers and other articulated trucks are back on some major expressways and flyovers in Lagos state.

Note that Lagosians got a brief respite about two weeks ago when the Presidential campaign train hit the nation’s commercial capital.

During that brief period, the roads was free-flow of vehicular traffic on those routes. Journey times were cut by half or less, sanity was temporarily restored on these routes.

The menace of parked trailers on expressways and bridges has become a hopeless situation in Lagos. Efforts by the successive Lagos state government to relocate these trucks from the expressways yielded no result.

Several bridges along the way are not spared of their presence and enormous weights. The bridges include Ojuelegba, Abati, Stadium, Ijora, Iganmu, Eko, Carter and Jibowu bridges.

The temporary relocation of the trucks from the expressways and bridges weeks ago got a lot of people wondering why the trucks were not kept where they were relocated to permanently.

Or are the authorities insincere about relocating these trucks?

Travel › 18 Common Road Signs That Most Motorists In Nigeria Don’t Know Their Meanings by AutoJoshNG(op): 2:58pm On Feb 21, 2019

Road traffic signs serve several purposes: some road signs are placed on roads to point out directions to motorists; some are placed there to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians; some are there to give us an idea of what to expect ahead of us, etc.

Technically, road signs are traffic languages. They communicate specific messages to motorists and pedestrians.

Every motorist – and in some cases, pedestrians – are expected to have an understanding of what these signs represent.

It is because of this that the teaching of road traffic signs and their meanings are an essential topic taught at driving schools. Unfortunately, most motorists in Nigeria did not pass through formal driving schools.

Road signs are typically represented as symbols or annotations. In Nigeria, there is an enormous lack of understanding of what these symbols used in road signs represent. And as such, it is very common in Nigeria for the authorities in charge of producing road signs to produce road signs with symbols together with their meanings spelt out on them.

Anyway, Autojosh presents an explanation of 15 common road signs that most Nigerian motorists do not know their meanings.

PED Xing

This sign is one of the most confusing road signs that motorists come across in Nigeria. However, it is better understood when represented in its pictorial form. It actually means, “Pedestrian crossing”. This sign is often placed ahead of or near zebra crossings.
https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Road-Signs-1.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

No Entry/ Do Not Enter

This sign is used to indicate that there is no entry for vehicular traffic. It is placed at the exit of some roads to inform motorist that they cannot drive into that road. It is often used at intersections to roads with one-way traffic.
https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Road-Signs-3.jpg?w=600&ssl=1
https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/road-sign-13.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

No Stopping

A ‘No Stopping’ sign instructs motorists to keep moving and must not stop at any time, not for a minute, not for a second, not for a jiffy, on the road or in an area to which the ‘No Stopping’ sign applies.
https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Road-Signs-4.jpg?w=600&ssl=1
https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/No-Stoppin-Sign.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

Turn On Red

This sign is placed at intersections where there are traffic lights. This sign generally permits vehicles to make a right turn even when the traffic light is on red. In other words, this sign gives permission to vehicles to turn into the next junction on the right nearer to them, even when the traffic light is showing a red signal and without having to wait for a green signal.

https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/road-sign-6.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

Sharp Deviation of Route or “Chevron” Sign

The chevron sign is positioned to warn motorists of a suden change in traffic direction. That is, they are positioned at places where traffic makes a sudden change in its course or direction , such as bends in the road or at round about. The chevron pattern pointing in the direction that traffic has to turn.

https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/road-sign-11jpg.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

No Waiting

Just like the “No Stopping” sign, this sign is placed along roads or streets to instruct drivers to keep driving or keep their vehicles in motion and not to stop. The difference is that, this signs allows a motorist to stop – to drop off or pick up a passenger, etc. Staying longer than necessary can be viewed as “waiting” or violation of the No Waiting instruction.
https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Road-Signs-6.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

No Overtaking

This sign is typically placed on two-way roads that are too narrow or are too risky for vehicles to attempt to overtake vehicles ahead of them. They are also placed at bends, dips in the road or where there are trees.
https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Road-Signs-13.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

Lane Merge Left
This sign warns motorist that the lane that they are on narrows as they drive ahead. And such narrow end merges with a parallel lane to the left.
https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Lane-Merge-Road-Sign-Left.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

Lane Merge Right

This sign warns motorist that the lane that they are on narrows as the y drive ahead or as it ends. And such narrow end merges with a parallel lane to the right.
https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Road-Signs-10.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

Bumps Ahead

This sign is used to warn motorists that there is a bump ahead or an uneven road surface on the road. This warning is intended to get motorists to reduce their speeds at certain points.
https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Road-Signs-21.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

Narrow Bridge Ahead

This sign is placed ahead of a location where there is a narrow bridge. This sign is intended to get motorists to reduce their speed and drive cautiously as they approach the bridge.
https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Road-Signs-9.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

Keep Right

You see, when people say we are a backward country, they always use things like this to buttress their claims. This man blocked the who road for like 25 minutes. I got there begged him and he said “Tell all up them tu guo back”. I couldn’t help it. And he didn’t have number plates. One other guy in the passenger seat was telling me to calm down that it’s just one car. This how we are. We will now start making tribal remarks. No matter who you are, you can’t break the law and claim right of way!!! See why that psychiatric test Fashola introduced fpr anyone who drives against one way (traffic) had a point?Just imagine the bloody kenge

Car Talk › These Ferrari Museums Attracted More Than 540,000 Visitors Just In 2018 (photos) by AutoJoshNG(op): 3:41pm On Feb 15, 2019

https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ferrari-museum-9.jpg?resize=600%2C348&ssl=1

The Ferrari Museums continue to flourish, attracting over 540,000 visitors in the course of 2018 and setting a new record in the process.

More than 370,000 visitors passed through the doors of the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, confirming its hugely successful status and reflecting the exceptional numbers of the previous year during which the company also celebrated its 70th anniversary.

https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ferrari-museum-2.jpg?resize=549%2C384&ssl=1

The Museum also staged two exhibitions in the course of 2018 that are still running: “Driven by Enzo” is a collection of Enzo Ferrari’s favourite four-seaters, while “Passion and Legend” is an homage to the company and its founder’s extraordinary story. The new “Michael 50” exhibition also officially opened on January 3rd in honour of Michael Schumacher’s 50th birthday, that will be open until March 31.

https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ferrari-museum-3.jpg?w=579&ssl=1

The MEF in Modena finished the year having welcomed over 175,000 visitors, an increase of 11% on 2017. This was thanks in good part to the “Il Rosso & Il Rosa” exhibition, a celebration of Ferrari’s close bond with women through some of the favourite cars of legendary female stars and personalities.

The excellent synergic relationship between the two Museums was also demonstrated by the success of the single ticket covering entry to both.

The above mentioned results confirm the Ferrari Museums’ status as one of the most popular visitor hubs in Italy as their new and enthralling themed exhibitions continue to draw in tifosi and enthusiasts from all over the globe from year to year.

Car Talk › Bentley Launches The World Fastest, Most Luxurious SUV (photos) by AutoJoshNG(op): 12:51pm On Feb 15, 2019

https://i0.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/bentley-bentayga-new-fastest-suv-2019.jpg?w=719&ssl=1

Bentley Motors is one of the most sought after luxury car brand in the world. The British company is known for their production of the company’s four model lines: Continental, Flying Spur, Bentayga and Mulsanne.

Bentley Motors announced the full details of the world’s fastest production SUV – The Bentayga. The Bentayga Speed features an enhanced 626 bhp version of the renowned 6.0-litre W12 engine that delivers a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h) and 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds.

Designed, engineered and handcrafted in Great Britain, the Bentayga Speed is the most powerful and performance-oriented Bentayga to date. It builds on a long tradition of Speed models that was born with the Continental GT in 2007 and pushes the boundaries of Bentayga performance further since claiming the production SUV record at the gruelling Pikes Peak International Hill Climb last year.

https://i2.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/bentley-bentayga-new-fastest-suv-2019-2.jpg?w=719&ssl=1

With a top speed of 190 mph, the Bentayga Speed is our most powerful and performance-oriented variant to date.

As with all Bentaygas, the all-wheel-drive Speed is equipped with Electronic Differential Lock and up to eight Drive Dynamics modes. Bespoke engineering revisions to the Sport mode provide a more dynamic drive, while a greater exhaust character and firmer suspension tune further increase driver engagement.

The new model takes the Bentayga’s extraordinary abilities to new levels, boosting maximum power from 600 bhp in the existing 6.0-litre W12 twin-turbocharged model to 626 bhp in the new Speed. Effortless acceleration is delivered thanks to 900 Nm (664 lb.ft) of torque.

https://i1.wp.com/autojosh.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/bentley-bentayga-new-fastest-suv-2019-5.jpg?w=720&ssl=1

With exceptional performance, comfort and handling, maximum speed is also increased from 187 mph (301 km/h) to 190 mph (306 km/h) in the new Speed, while the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration time is reduced from 4.1 seconds to 3.9 seconds.

The performance pinnacle of the Bentayga range, Speed is equipped with four on-road Drive Dynamics modes: Comfort at one extreme, and Bentley and Sport at the other, with Custom for customers who opt to create their own driving set-up.

Uniquely in the Speed, the Sport mode has been recalibrated to enhance response from the W12 engine and the eight-speed automatic transmission, as well as the suspension and Bentley Dynamic Ride. The effect is a more dynamic and engaging drive.

Bentley Dynamic Ride is the world’s first electric active roll control technology that utilises an unrivalled 48V system. This system instantly counteracts lateral rolling forces when cornering and ensures maximum tyre contact to deliver class-leading cabin stability, ride comfort and exceptional handling.
