Ambode commissions Abule Egba, Ajah flyovers, Lekki roads

ON MAY 17, 2017



At the commissioning of Freedom Road and Admiralty Way in Lekki, Governor Ambode said in continuation of efforts to open the axis for economic activities, the State Government in partnership with the private sector would commence construction of 8km Regional Road to serve as alternative route to connect Victoria Garden City (VGC) from Freedom Road.

This is the most important part of the article for me. I've often wondered why there isn't an alternative road on the lagoon side from the first roundabout to Ajah.

Hm. Traffic.

I remember this photo!

You remind me of SSC's pictures in the Sunday editions of The Guardian.

I think it was called Sunmi on Sunday or something like that.

Quite right about the B&W photos.

Yes, Sunmi on Sunday. He later moved to ThisDay in the early 2000s.

Do you know that he was once Fela's manager? It was from him that I learnt that it was the sticks that kept time in Fela's songs, not the drums (this becomes obvious when you listen to the drum solo on Open And Close).

I'm sure you'll like this video. Sunmi Smart Cole was featured on day 26 of the Lagos At 50 series and this is his Lagos story.

This?

Legendary Nigerian photographer and musician, Sunmi Smart Cole's picture of Ibrahim and Halima Babangida.

SSC prefers to take black and white pictures. He is not a fan of colour pictures.
