Bob was arrested for naira mutilation.
However, I feel the EFFC just wanted to have him in their arrest record, cos what Bob did was nothing near what some cash-crazy dudes had done with the naira notes.
I even saw some skillful players using naira bundles to play football at Obi cubana's mum's burial time.
Naira don really suffer.

Omoapena:
Nah the Lagos/coastal road be that na, that's the starting point.

Okay. Just wanted to be sure.

Much respect, boss.

Abeg I want to ask;
That road they're doing on the former Kuramo beach (beside Eko Hotel), where is it leading to? Where is it connecting?

Much respect, bosses.

Below FYI: The cause of the traffic

Yeah. Saw it already yesterday.
But the filling station still dey cause traffic on its own.

Much respect, sir.

I dey phase 1 like this. I checked map few minutes ago, I saw 3mb red like 3.2 bolt surge. I plaster here till further notice.
Abeg who get spare bed should throw, make I catch

Much respect, boss.

Welz:
I saw it, na orile to mile 2 then festac to connect ago I use now, very free

Nice one, baba. ✌

Omoapena:
I swear, them dey always cause serious traffic and na why I dey like take ikorodu to connect back to Ibadan express way if I dey go ikosi

I swear.
Check the map and see what is happening at the moment.
Well, anybody coming from island should avoid taking 3MB.
Just jejely go and take Apongbon-eko bridge and find your way to your destination.
The traffic you go face on Ikorodu road is child's play to 3mb.
Make una check map before taking order oh.

See the kind traffic wey NNPC at Alapere estate dey cause now.
They need relocate comot for there or make dem extend their land deep in nahh.
There should be a standard requirement to be met before you can build filling station.

konkoabove:
Baba, those traffic light cameras' main purpose is to detect vehicles with expired papers.

Inside life.

Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
If this us true then Abuja is canceled out of my options. I dey reason Zamfara or Gombe. E go tey before those people start to they do inspection

Thanks for the update

northbird:
Fines as per not renewing on time or traffic violation fines.

I was about asking this same question.

Much respect, boss.

Muhammadson2020:
They said fuel dried up at the depot, they are waiting for another vessel or shipload of PMS to arrive the country. I hope is not a strategy to increase price again

The bold got me laffing.
But true true, these people are masters of lying. They're very good at it.

Much respect, baba.

Barbiturate:
You for go nnpc sabo or better still MRS

I was doubting they would sell ni. That's why I did not go that far.
Will try and hustle it out tomorrow morning.

Much respect, boss.

Our people don start again. Wetin dey cause fuel scarcity again?
Drove down to jibowu, the few filling stations wey dey sell dey filled up with queue.
Just drove back home jéjély.

Pearl1910:
Lolz...no how filling station will not cause traffic especially in times of scarcity like this.
All the ones u mentioned that are ideal examples are located on roads that have service lanes thats why it looks like they aren't causing traffic because the main traffic is one the main express. If there was no service lane, that Northwest in gbagada would have been causing a mess because there is always queue there. As big as the compound is, the queue used to reach Anthony sometimes.
The price, quality and quantity variations of the fuel will always make people go and queue where they feel they are getting value for their money.
Shebi we wanted deregulation...that's the price we have to pay.

As for danfos, they have found a way to pay of lastma to allow them operate as they like. We will never get a Gov like BRF who would impromptu come to a place unannounced without siren and convoy and catch people sleeping on their jobs.

SMH

Much respect, sir.

Other things that contribute to traffic in Lagos need to be addressed by the government.
1) Na this one dey vex me pass; all those danfo & korope & Keke wey dey park to pick and drop people at unacceptable places. I don't know why law enforcement agencies have been overlooking this ill-attitude all these years.
There should be a regulation that will deal with any danfo/Keke/korope driver who parks at any odd places to pick people.

2) Filling stations; those of us who drive to places on a daily would agree with me that filling stations also cause serious traffic on major roads.
There should be a standard requirement that should be met before you build any filling station.
For instance, it's very odd and senseless to build a filling station on 1 plot or 2 plots of land and be located by main road where there should be free & flowing traffic.
Examples are total filling stations on Toyin street, NNPC beside Olatunji street, ojota. Conoil opposite LASUTH on Oba Akinjobi way, Ikeja. AP now NNPC on Mobolaji bank Anthony close to Maryland bus stop. Even total filling station on Mobolaji BA way. MRS at Ojota bus stop. Total beside Ojota motor park if you're coming from ketu, just a few.
If you're to build a filling station with a small land piece, it should be completely off major road, infact, minimum land requirement for building fuel station should be 1 acre of land, so as to contain all cars and get them off the road to eventually prevent traffic.
Imagine the kind of traffic that NNPC that's located beside alapere estate always causes?
All filling stations should completely be off road for vehicles to queue.
Look at Northwest filling station beside Oguntona crescent, Gbagada. AP filling station that's immediately after Atunrase estate, gbagada. Conoil at ajao when coming from MMIA. Enyo at Ilasan-lekki, just a few. These are examples of filling stations that will never cause traffic, no matter the situation.

These two things will continue giving us daily traffic no matter the infrastructural development in the state.
Why would a sensible human being build a filling station on 1 plot / 2 plots of land nah? NNPC beside Olatunji street at Ojota and others dey craze.

Go and build your filling station inside forest make we come dey meet una for there nahh.

Personally, Not yet baba. I'm relying on the update from Pearl and Welz.

Okay, boss.

Welz:

Much respect, boss.

konkoabove:
Thanks guys for the 3mb update!

Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
Federal govt said 6th
Lagos State govt say 4th

We go wait till anytime it suits them, we don't have a choice.

In a nutshell, dem dey take us play ludo.
Make dem continue.

Much respect, sir.

I thought they said they're opening the 3mb today (4th), wetin come dey sup again

"Karma is real."

#Pearl1910

Dem never complete am nah.
I just drove to vi now and work is still going on the other land.
Before we can say the 3mb is complete, both lanes must have been opened for use nah.

Much respect, sir.

Pearl1910:
Thank God Third mainland bridge is finally complete. Make work they sweet again.

Seriously?
Make I quickly go confirm abeg.

Much respect, sir.

Pearl1910:
Normally I don't pass Chevron. If I push it, Oral estate is my boundary. But I don't know the spirit that pushed me today. I no even manage Abraham adesanya, I took a trip to Sky mall with my clear eyes. Me sef can't believe it.
I tot the traffic will be a moving one. Mehnn... it was lockdown. Journey of 30mins then 4hrs+
I for just dey play between VI and Jakande till 10pm then I start looking for mainland. My whole evening quota is messed up like this. It is well, we meuve.

Inside life.
Imagine those mumu indrivers wey go don put head for that side.

Omoapena:
Sorry boss, but, wetin dey cause traffic for that place, them don resume the construction?

Yes, dem don resume that VGC road.
They're done with the other side of the road if you're coming from Ajah bridge (they are still working on the finishing).
Now, they've switched to the road if you're coming from ikota going to Ajah. Na the reason be that.

Much respect, baba.

Sirchiboy:
..
Can you give me tips

Just started last month.
This is my method of operation.
If I drop someone in uniport.
I will drive empty to my house.
If I get another ride,.
I will drive the person and return empty again till I get another ride

Continue. 🙄

Omoapena:
My advise, go into transportation that works well there, if it's danfo, keke or anyone that people mostly use around there, just switch to that....

Person wey dey drive Corolla sport 2011, u dey advise make him switch to danfo/keke?
I don't think e fit work at all.

Much respect, sir.

Barbiturate:
See veteran dey whine me 😊
Like Glit (indrive spokesman) dey always talk....much respect baba! I just talk based on my experience. You and cheerful na baba for this hustle. I respect you both.

PuZZyNegro:
That Allen traffic lights. The light was blinking when I tried driving through. I was in between when it turned red. I mean, I have already passed but there was traffic just immediately after the traffic lights so I got stuck there when those animals came knocking on my window to wind down.

I told them that I've already passed now but they insisted that I should wind down. I just waited for the traffic in front to clear before I dawned the consequence and drove on top of the spike and went my way.

I would have only spent 4k to fix both tyres but for the fact that I had only one spare tyre.

You were just unlucky. It could be any vehicle.
However, those hungry and illiterate people calling themselves Lastma, na tiny chance dem dey always look for, even as per say dem see wetin happen.

Much respect, baba.

Pearl1910:
When u see Rider was in a hurry and Lastma in the same story, u need not be told that the Driver was pushed into that fire.

From his narration, it looks different from what you said.
Everybody knows that Allen Junction traffic lights.
If a driver succumbs to passenger's haste and go violate traffic rules and eventually gets caught, he should just own up to it.
Him don learn him lesson be that.

Much respect, sir.

Welz:
lol..they can't port no worry😁. there is this sense of assurance and calmness when you already know how much you're paying for a trip.

GeneralZodd:
Passengers are already addicted to INdrive, they hardly use Bolt nowadays. Pick up time is usually long and Bolt did them dirty with surge

People driven.

Much respect, bosses.
