He may have even died earlier,it was only when the cabal accepted to tell us that we got to hear the news

Why won't revenue increase when subscribers exhaust a supposed month long data in 2 days!!

Let them follow BRT lanes,while the govt should expand /repair/coordinate the roads

Esseite:
So from that picture, you can support that a truck of that magnitude should pass that bridge?

well.....the bridge was clearly wearing out sha. The truck driver should have considered i am sure he just wanted to risk it. I agree with you,but for the lack of maintenance but a notice restricting big trucks from passing,the authorities have to bear part of the brunt.

Esseite:
How can you compare the Niger bridge to this bridge?.. are they in anyway comparable... both in size/material etc

size doesn't matter,depends on the orginal design,as it regards reinforcements.

Esseite:
Dont you know their is the maximum amount of tonnage that should cross a bridge.

was the notice on this particular bridge? So you mean the trucks that pass the Niger bridge daily do so illegally?

vedaxcool:
This thread just confirmed many people are just not smart. Mungo Park cannot discover what already exists to the people using it. He can only discover it for the Western world, teaching pupils that he discovered the River Niger just does not make sense. Rather it should read he was the first white man to sail the River Niger but cannot be the first person to discover it.

no one knew the route of the river Niger before Mungo Park,that was what he discovered and not the river itself, river Niger is neither hidden in the evil forest nor a 1000metres below the ground, it is plain viewed.

Esseite:
That unicem company should pay for every dime to fix that local bridge or be forced to upgrade it, dont be surprised he is dodging from security outfits.

Why in the world would even an illiterate driver drive a truck through such a local bridge with metal floorings.. now a truck loaded with cement..

The company pays it's tax to the government, they neither vandalised the bridge nor passed there illegally so why should they be made to fix it?

It is a shame that Rangers on its own still needs the help of the govt to buy things as trivial as buses.

I would rather work as an employee for NNPC,than be an enterpreneur owning a carpenter workshop at boundary

Sagay212:
WTF is this man saying? The only people who will be surprised by these funny pictures are people who haven't been to lagos or V.I and lekki people who have never been to the mainland. Man lagos doesn't end on V.I, ikoyi and lekki. Infact if you go to ordinary new market at oniru on a weekend, it won't be this calm. Go to lagos island and see the gra gra even on a weekend not to talk of places like yaba, oyingbo, sabo, okoko, mile2, mile 12 just to mention a few. If you want help your APC government to deceive people, always remember that there are so many other people who were born and raised in lagos and been to almost all nooks and corners of Lagos.

Autojosh seems to be more sincere. Carry your autoreport and go lie to some bush people who haven't been to lagos before.

WHAT A BLATANT AND ANNOYING LIE TO TELL.

well said

The Op has of recent been compromised,he has probably been approached due to his/her position as a foremost blogger. Paid to show us the less dirty side of Lagos which isn't up to 10% of the state.

But why should we pay before receiving the odds

Purewatermeji:
We Yoruba Muslims will always love and support the north and Buhari. No matter what the igbos think, Buhari must rule us till 2023 whether he performs or not. He's a Muslim and that's more important

whether he performs or not? So after 2023 with the country in ruins what next?

It is the regular non-partisan Nigerian that are suffering,the PDP isn't a person to suffer. Their members still live in affluence be it in prison or free.

baslone:
Creativity had to come to play on the Ikorodu road's case because it was done on an already existing road

In Oshodi, the road has been expanded, a lot of buildings had to be brought down to make this happen.

Only issue is the government has not made any serious attempt to compensate property owners yet.

if you look at the lagos/badagry exp way project one is tempted to think that this is the modus operandi,there is ample space(space for vegetation inbetween) yet there is just space for just 2 lanes.It should once again be wider. The govt is trying but maybe they should try and review their design.
P.S. i am a civil engineer.

MrEdimulo82:
With successive governance we will get there...knowing we can only improve our systems wt concurrent situation. We shall get there and surpass there

it is true sha,there was a time we didn't have roads and there was complete negligence. Amen to your latter statement.

MrEdimulo82:
..and when they expands the road, you will still come to say buildings are being demolished with no'strategy' . Mr. Strategy. Lagos metropolis is built up.

in india,to make way for the speed trains,they just built columns(pillars).The trains go over the road.

unitysheart:
Get wisdom. Go to Oshodi and see the extension done to carve out a new road for brt

stick to the point and detest name calling. The op posted a prototype,we all can't go and face the traffic at oshodi just to view your so called extensions(which are non-existent). The BRT,like is the case with ikorodu road will be curved out of an already existing road

So they intend cutting out of the 3lane one-way lane to a 2 lane to accommodate BRT? Do they realise how busy this road is?what if a trailer or a car spoils. We don't have strategists in govt.it is just to do contracts and collect kick-backs

yesloaded:
This is wrong

how is this wrong?

Is see ni wrong here,there are no victims

I am trying to see any thing wrong here.There are no victims.

This is the kind of story we want to hear,not Alakija that instead of telling you the truth about her wealth she will be saying 'na god','grace'.

How is the crocodile's teeth get so white?whiter than mine infact.

GeeString:
5) Nile Crocodile

Crocodiles kill hundreds of people each year in Africa. The Nile Crocodile can be found in almost every major river throughout the continent as well as many lakes. Most fatalities occur while people are washing or collecting food near river banks and lake shores. Fishermen are also prone to attack as they slide their boats in and out of the water. Crocodiles attack by dragging their prey under water and drowning them. Some crocodiles will also then roll their bodies repeatedly to weaken their prey.

Once you hit a car from back ... you are definitely guilty according to World Standard not only in Nigeria or Africa except the Danfo man have insurance he won't go unpunished

what if the car in front was reversing and the danfo behind was stationary?

Everyone was once a virgin at a point in their lives

They think,they improvise,they create ideas. While in these parts all you hear is "in america they do is they do that". They don't solve problems peculiar to their situation. See the Lagos refuse crisis for example.

Most times we get these multiple mechanics by chance. When you car spoils at ikeja you find one in that area when he finishes you save his number. Car spoils at yaba you save the mech's number that helped. Car spoils at okokomaiko you save the mech's contact too who helped you restart

'scored'. Please modify.

tourplanet84:
we complain too much in Nigeria. The new revised land use charge would have enabled Lagos state to generate N70 billion per month and thus have capacity to execute more project.

what project is greater than human capital development? Lagos has well over 80% living on the edge. They don't have access to credit,accommodation crisis,they pay for their security,water and electricity. In all sincerity,the roads and flowers are good but i will rather keep my money than pay taxes that will not return to benefit even the downtrodden.
