It’s no news that Lagosians spend countless hours in traffic, and some are avoidable if you plan yourself well, others, however you cannot avoid. Some spend up to 5 hours or more in traffic everyday commuting to and from their place of work.
Here are some possible things to do when you’re stuck in traffic, when either you’re driving your own car, or you’re in a commercial vehicle.

1. LISTEN TO AUDIO BOOKS
Audio books are one of the best things that happened to us in recent times in terms of how much we can learn and the flexibility of learning it. You could find good websites that give free audio books, or you could buy the audiobooks from Amazon. There are hundreds of thousands of audiobooks right there filled with knowledge from all fields of life, including your very field waiting to be downloaded. If you visit YouTube, you could find lots of them there too.
The good thing about listening to audio books is that you can do it while driving. Driving is a subconscious activity and imagine how much you could learn in those hours while in commute.

2. READ DIGITAL BOOKS (E-BOOKS)
The world is changing. Hard cover books are great, but they are gradually becoming obsolete. Do you know that a mere 10MB of memory space could give you between 10 to 50 e-books in epub, pdf, txt or mobi formats right there in your smartphone? Digital books are more flexible and easier to read as you can do so with any mobile devices you carry.
So, instead of waiting in traffic doing nothing, you could download e-books of your choice genre and start reading. If you like novels, there are millions of them online to download and read from. There are also a plethora of apps on the play store that give the reading much ease and flexibility. These apps even save your progress, and some of them even utilize the Text To Speech properties on your phone to read the novels or books aloud for you. This is especially useful if you’re on the wheels and hence can’t take your eyes off the road to read e-books.
No need to waste your time in traffic. With all those time, you can read and expand your horizon. Personally, within 3 weeks, I have read a complete 4 e-books and counting. I am expanding my knowledge base, and I think you should too!

3. LISTEN TO MUSIC
We all know that traffic can be exhausting and frustrating, so, don’t make it harder on yourself. Music is known universally to soothe our nerves and make us feel good. If you’re stuck in traffic. Listening to your favourite music can help you relax. You could even in your spare time create a playlist of music you can play in traffic that will relax you and make you happy while you get to your destination.

4. LISTEN TO THE RADIO
Well, every device or car has an F.M Radio, and Lagos has lots of good stations to listen to. So, to get informed, educated and entertained while in traffic, you can listen to your favourite F.M radio stations for good music, news and other interesting programs.

5. READ NAIRALAND
Well, Nairaland, without doubt is a very interesting forum. Loads of information right here if you know where to look. Most of us make the mistake of reading only front page and trending posts. I should tell you that there are dozens of other posts which don’t make it to front page but which are packed with fun, entertaining and interesting facts. What you need to do is to go to the section of your choice and browse, you’ll definitely see interesting stuff to read. Be sure to add discretion to what you read. Forget that a lot of members of the forum are tribalistic and insulting, but lots more are nice, warm and intelligent.
That is what you get in a faceless forum. Just ignore anyone you see that lacks courtesy even if they quote you. Don’t reply their quotes as some of them cannot even talk to you in real life. Of course, reading Nairaland is only possible if you’re in a public transport. Don’t read while driving as you need to pay attention to the road. Expand your knowledge by reading Nairaland articles, like this one

6. PRAY
Well, lots of Nigerians are very religious. If you’re stuck in traffic, you could gently bend down and pray. If you’re in your own car, you can pray as you want, but still pay attention to where you’re going. If you’re in a public transport, don’t be a nuisance to others, you can pray gently, in your mind. Prayer has been scientifically proven to give perspective and peace of mind. So, if you’re stuck in traffic, you can pray. Remember to pray for your country too!

7. CALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES
When you’re stuck in traffic, you can use that opportunity to make some calls to your friends and loved ones that you’ve not called for a long time. People appreciate it when you call them, even if it’s for less than a minute. Your friends and loved ones can also make you happy when you talk with them. Make the calls, create new connections and strengthen already existing ones. If you’re in your own vehicle it would be ideal as you won’t be disturbing anyone. Make sure you use loudspeaker though.

8. CHAT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY
On WhatsApp and other platforms, you can spend some time when stuck in traffic to chat with people you love. Chat with the witty and funny ones who can make you smile and temporarily ease the stress of the traffic. This would be useful if you’re not driving.

9. MAKE NEW FRIENDS
Connections are very important. You never know who’s in that bus with you. They could be the person that gives you the information or assists you to achieve success in life. So if you can, start a conversation with the person sitting close to you. Try and be friendly, nice and warm. You could even meet your life partner in Lagos traffic. Lolz. That would be a great story on its own!

10. ADMIRE THE CITY
You’ve got to admit, Lagos is a very beautiful city. Well, some parts of it anyway. If you’re working in the Island and living in the mainland, you could take some time to admire all the fine skyscrapers and other stunning structures around you. Admire the exquisite cars that people are driving around you. Admire the gorgeous and beautiful dudes and ladies around you. Looking is free, they say, so look around and admire the city, the life, and the people.

11. PLAN YOUR LIFE
Some of us don’t really have our lives planned out. Life is short you know. Living from paycheck to paycheck isn’t an ideal way of living. You need to sit down sometimes and write down a plan for your life on paper. It’s sad that a lot of people have plans on everything else in their lives including what to buy and cook for the next pot of soup, but really don’t have plans for their lives. Time is going. The years are strolling by. Before you know it, you’ll be 30, 35, 50, etc.

What are you going to do to secure you future? Are you going back to school? Are you saving enough money to venture into business? What kind of business? Do you want to climb the professional ladder? When are you getting married? When are you going to build your own house, and where? How many kids will you have, and where do you want to train them?

Don’t just let life wheeze by. Use the time you have in traffic to plan. I’m not saying you should worry. I’m saying you should plan. He who fails to plan, has planned to fail. I’ll admit that sometimes, our plans change, but you should have something to lean on in the first place.

12. WATCH COMEDY ONLINE
On a lighter note though, Lagos traffic can be exhausting and frustrating. Instead of just sitting there, you could go to YouTube and watch some funny videos, comedy and the like. These can lighten your mood and make the traffic easier to bear. Laughing is good medicine. I’m sure you know.

13. WATCH A GOOD MOVIE
Some of us don’t have any time anymore for ourselves. It’s all work, work, work. When stuck in traffic, you could watch a good movie that you’ve downloaded but haven’t had the time to watch. If the movie is interesting enough, you won’t even know when the time passed and you’ll be home in no time. Of course, this is for those in public transport. Be vigilant though. Don’t pass your bus stop, and be careful of phone thieves! This na Lagos oh.

14. WRITE A GOOD ARTICLE
If you’re a writer, you could take the opportunity of being stuck in traffic to write a good article, especially that one you’ve been postponing. Maybe you’ve had it as a goal to set up a blog. Use the time you have in traffic to do so. I understand that you may be too exhausted to do anything creative, but even if it’s a few lines you manage to write, it is something.

15. ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS
I’m sure you must have a side hustle in addition to your normal day job. If you don’t please go find one like right away. Depending on where you work, your monthly salary alone can never sustain you in Lagos, not to talk of saving.
When stuck in traffic, use the opportunity to advertise your business online, on Facebook, Instagram and Nairaland. If nobody knows you, nobody will patronize your business. If it comes to it, pay some money to get your business known by a lot of people. In the long run, you’ll recover the money and make some profit.

These are 15 things you could do when stuck in Lagos traffic?

1. Always be truthful to your partner. Never lie!
When you are dishonest to your partner, it hurts them more than anything. Don’t lie to one another. Tell them the truth always. Don’t let them find out things for themselves about you or what you did. No need for petty lies or any kind of lie in the first place. Always be truthful.

2. Never take him or her for granted in any way
Taking your partner for granted may include ignoring their calls and texts, not making out time as before to be with them, etc. Never devalue your partner just because they’re with you or because you’ve ‘gotten’ them. Most people are guilty of this. For some ladies, they would think that the guy should be honored to be the one that she chose among the hundreds of potential partners which would then lead to them misbehaving and taking the guy for granted. Never do this.

Guys, after the girl has agreed and is now your girlfriend and has given herself to you, don’t disregard or devalue her by losing interest and avoiding their calls and texts after you’ve had sex. Don’t play with a lady’s emotions. If it was sex you wanted, let them know beforehand. Don’t promise them everything only to have sex and disappear in thin air.

3. Always verbally affirm your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Talk with your partner about everything.
Talking is everything in a relationship. This is one of the most important points you should take home from this. Whatever that happens. TALK with your partner. Choose a time and venue and discuss. Talk about it. Clear out the air. Iron out every misunderstanding. You guys must always be on the same page all the time. Don’t be an authoritarian. Talk and listen to your partner and their point of views. Share opinions and ideas.

4. Mutual respect.
Respect one another. Never disrespect your partner especially in the public. Never insult, disgrace or call your partner disrespectful names. Never address them with insolence. Mutual respect means understanding one another and understanding boundaries. Know your partner and their emotional and intellectual nature. Disrespecting your partner in any way causes them pain. Don’t do it.

5. Learn to loosen up.
Avoid too much rigidity and seriousness all the time. Smile, play and joke with one another frequently. The best relationships are those where both parties are best of friends. Be a friend to your partner. Stiffness and firmness all the time always spells bad for any relationship. Loosen up and laugh things off.

6. Don't say hurtful or bitter words to them.
This is a very important point that is worth its own number. Words have power, and words coming from someone who loves you and who you love, has an even multiplied effect. Any critical or hurtful word you say to your partner, as long as it’s coming from your lips will have much power to hurt, discourage and weigh them down. You should always encourage and say good things to your partner. Correct with love. Don’t make your partner feel pain and regret with your words.

7. Learn to listen and to apologize.
This point is especially to the guys who will never admit fault and say ‘sorry’. This is one of the best words to learn in a relationship ‘SORRY’. Learn to say ‘sorry’ to your partner. If your partner is offended, even if you didn’t do anything wrong in your own eyes, but as long as they are offended, just apologize for peace to reign. At that point of heated emotions, arguing about who is right and who is wrong will always certainly lead to conflict and rancor. Always let them know that their happiness is very important to you. For someone you love, you can accept to be wrong at that time and later on when the situation is calm, discuss things out as stated in #3. When things are heated up, you can always say: ‘Baby, I understand you’re upset right now and I’m sorry about that. Can we please discuss this later when you’ve calmed down?’. Even the hottest of tempers cannot resist a statement like that as long as you said it nicely, and as long as they love you.

When you apologize, don’t do it half-heartedly. Really mean what you say. Don’t try to quench fire with more fire. Always learn to improve the relationship and to avoid saying or doing things that you know will displease your partner. Don’t deliberately get them angry. It’s unhealthy for the relationship.

8. Never listen or entertain gossip
When evil people see something beautiful, their intention will be to scatter it. Don’t let a third party influence your relationship. Don’t listen to anyone when they tell you something negative about your partner. Don’t even give them audience at all. When they are about starting, stop them in their tracks and tell them that you’re not interested in what they have to say. Whatever it is, you MUST without fail discuss it FIRST with your partner. Never go to anyone else individually.
You and your partner can decide to get counsel over some certain issues, but always discuss with your partner about anything even if you hear rumors and the like. Discuss with them. Tell them that this is what you heard and you’ve come to discuss it with them. Every story has two or more versions. Hear their own version. They will respect you for it, and the issue will there and then be ironed out. Many beautiful relationships have been destroyed because of people listening to third parties. Don’t add yours to the statistic.
