See the new look of YABA that got everyone complaining bitterly including me.
The last time I went to Yaba was three months ago when the new fly over bridge was still under construction only to get there yesterday and discovered it has been completed and the road on the rail line that leads to tejuoso has been blocked and fenced off so everyone has to go through the fly over bridge to access tejuoso market and the bridge is unnecessarily long and exhausting.

I was there yesterday but had to go again today because yesterday the complex I wanted to get stuff was shut and according to the traders the govt was coming for inspection.

The way they built the bridges are not convenient cos you'll climb two long lanes before you'll get to another long lanes descending to the other side. Lagosian were complaining as they climb and descend. On the other wing there are stairs. I used the stairs today thinking it would be better than the other walkway and nearly fainted.

Is this to add to Nigerians suffering or better their lives because someone who's already experiencing hunger can not climb that bridge o.

Below are pics of the flyover.

Why are people still selling stuffs under the overhead bridge? People no deh hear word. Why do they like to deface public amenities? Na Everytime govt go deh drive them comot the side.

I still don't get it.... pedestrian overpass in the 21st century . in a densely populated/high foot traffic area. What happen to traffic lights?... stop signs? ... if it's to get across an expressway why not build a flyover? It must be old men stuck in the past that are making decisions. Why make the elderly... the handicapped... the pregnant ... the ones with heavy loads ... the sick ... all go through this unnecessary mountain climbing exercise?

Mummyfour:
For the past 3 weeks I have been climbing that bridge. I have lost weight , because na serious exercise. Until I discovered the flat part of the bridge, I used to use the stairs and it was not funny with people running into you, or hitting you. Earlier in January there was one opening by the fence people used to pass through, but by the time I returned there in February, it had been blocked. So if you need to go over to the other side 10 times, you have to climb the stairs or use the other part. One day I almost collapsed due to exhaustion because I had to go on that bridge 4 times back and forth to purchase some items for someone o brought to the hospital around there

[color=royalblue]Maybe there's a structural explanation to this, but i do not know CCECC will be punishing people in the name of "Pedestrian bridge"

Currently seeing the one being constructed in front of LASU, and i can't imagine myself walking such a distance.

They should make these designs simple, abeg[/color]

Cantonese:
For me, the bridge was not necessary in anyway.

Eastlink:
I passed that area four months ago when I visited Unilag. I couldn't help but imagine the construction that CCECC did there. It seems like the construction was an idea of a drunk Engineer.

I understand that a flyover was constructed to connect Ojuelegba to the other side of Yaba but what is the essence of a pedestrian staircase. Infact once you get under the pedestrian staircase, you'll have to climb up the stairs and then down again as of you're climbing up and down a manual lift to get to other section. Perhaps the stairs is great for exercise but not for the sick and aged.

More like; “Keeping them fit and healthy for the HUNGER ahead”



But on a serious note, this pedestrian bridge has it's own advantages. It outweighs the disadvantages

Jewessgratitud3:
You're talking of stop signs, Nigerians dey obey traffic rules? Common zebra lines they don't observe. If you try go stand for zebra lines na there you go old.

People were saying the same about wrong way driving .... ... can never stop .... our drivers are too stubborn..... what happened? ... where did the stubbornness go? Heavy fines and enforcement will make a big difference.

extremelygolden:
Until you even climb it. They have started messing it already. I saw the handicapped beggars sweeping it when I went there this afternoon.
