No news!

Saw it coming before completion!

Sanwolu just built shelter for Agbero.

When state backed touts and thugs are running affairs of such infrastructure, what else is expected?

It probably will still be burnt when next those thugs clash.
This is FALSE. Touts don't run those terminals.

Nigeria has a problem with maintenance.

The problem is only at play there.

Imo airport is still fictional after 40yrs
Anambra airport is till functional after 2 yrs
Uyo airport is still functional after 15 yrs

All these are built by state government like the Lagos bus terminal....

Let's not pretend or be delusional on this GADEMN FORUM.

This terminal was built in the centre of OSHODI.

Has any of you here been to OSHODI?

Especially before they built that terminal?

Look, I GREW UP PASSING THROUGH OSHODI DAILY ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL.

Oshodi was a hellhole of fast commerce, market women selling everywhere, chronic overcrowding, rushing for Molue, desperation, illiteracy, semi-literacy, touts, thugs, Alayes, pickpockets, drug dealers, poverty, and open defecation.

Oshodi was where ARMED ROBBERS you used to go and hide after committing atrocities in more civiized parts of Lagos.

A sprinkling of BROTHELS in the area gladly served as hideouts.

I personally frequented some of those brothels in my secondary school days in the 80s.

I often used my pocket money to go and nyash ashewo.

Short time, 10 Naira.

Oshodi was the quintessential Lagos hellhole.

All those people were not moved out of OSHODI after they commissioned the terminal.

They are still there.


So how the fck do you expect the terminal to look? wink

The minute I heard they were building that terminal at OSHODI, I knew it would get to this.

I'm even surprised they haven't smashed in all those ajebota glass walls and trimmings in the terminal.

The place even still looks clean somehow. grin

Truth is it would be a hell of a task keeping that terminal looking like somewhere in Paris or Brussels or London, with the kind of characters that populate OSHODI.

If that facility was located somewhere in Ikeja or the Island or Lekki, the place will be looking very clean and sharp even with minimal maintenance.

Simply because of the calibre of people in those areas.

The long-term solution for this sort of thing is just to improve the living standards of the masses, plus education.
You have said it all. The hard truth .. most of these people shouting our Lagos are the very people you described. They are iliterate street dwellers

So sad when i saw the decaying state of the infrastructure yesterday.
All the barricade fence along Isolo road totally damaged and the whole environment is gradually returning to its old slum state.
Re: Oshodi Bus Terminal Decaying, Motorists, Passengers Lament by Focusmind: 5:51am On Sep 07, 2023
I saw it coming.....that Oshodi interchange was an over-built. That place doesn't deserve that kind of infrastructure. Government should have built a moderate bus interchange, with canopies similar to what we have in TBS, Lagos Island at a far cheaper rate.

Touts, mad men and those on the streets have converted portions of the place to quarters with people defecating every where. That oshodi environment doesn't deserve that kind of edifice.

Infrastructures, good environment, decency and decorum makes no sense to an uneducated man. When you prefer infrastructure development to human capital development, the scenario in oshodi is what you get.

Nigerians have poor maintenance culture, the blame should not be shifted to the government,they did their best but most people enjoy living like animals, the government cannot do everything at the same time.

Thats the problem with Nigerians and Nigeria Government. Lack of sustainability and maintenance. Handly can you see any Government project that directly meant for Nigerians, we will use our baboons manners to mismanaged. It's a pity. I wonder how the government plans to make lagos look like London.
