I passed there last week
it's that division of the bridge into lanes that is causing long queues
I wonder who brought that brilliant idea
make heavy rain fall that's when them go no Wetin dey happen

Nigeria is a mess..

olapluto:
In Scandinavia, they queue as well. Lets get used to it. This may just kick start the rebirth of discipline in Lagos state. If other states can follow, then the ripple effects will be nice.
People will complain about the queue, then force government to provide alternatives.

thank you o. The previous comments portrayed as a evil thing

Hehehe...what a country.

Someone was saying we should give time, that with time it will be adequate, is he trying to say with time the population will reduce? I don't understand the logic.

I think the only solution to this mess is building more bridge for the population.

Lagos palava

Leave long gramar. Whats ur solution??

Bigblogman:
When this shameless people in government travel out of the country, is this what they see? Are there no more sensible persons in government these days. Why use eba as gum when you can afford a proper and lasting gum. But as usual my country people will rather suffer and smile. Always settle for less, my people why. APC and PDP no epp una ooo make una drop their matter from una head so that we go fit reason together like humans. Just imagine the hardship.

there is always a long queue and this has frustrated people who don’t want to fall victim to the officials of the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) stationed there to arrest anyone trying to cross to the other side of the road wrongly.

I am sure OP has not visited Ojota recently. It is not for the fear of KAi officials, to cross the road you have to get to Ketu, cross and trek back, or trek to New Garage, cross and walk back. Both options don't look good at all.

Thank you very much.

I strongly believe that Ambode put the cart before the horse here. He should be built more pedestrian bridges before enforcing this rule.

Things are bad now. Government shouldn't heap more suffering on the masses.

You don't just get it that it is abnormal to have just 1 overhead bridge for kilometers of expressway, forcing people to queue for hours just to cross an expressway.

Which Scandinavia country, and in which city do people tolerate this kind of poo?
Please post pictures here.

Queue at the bank, queue at the filling station, queue to go across the street, queue to get ur allowee from the FG.
Naija una too sabi rule of law. '1st come, 1st serve'.


Abeg who be last person for this queue??

Smiles bro I think you missed the point...What's the point of constructing another bridge if it won't be used.

Its better this way @least now that the policy has proven to be effective they can erect another bridge.
It can be done under a month and half.(layman opinion...i'm not an engineer)

Really? They queue to cross a road using pedestrian bridge? Please say what it is, poor planning and management. Show me where in he Scandinavians they queue to use a pedestrian bridge everyday. Can you imagine how much that adds to you daily commute everyday especially with the traffic we already endure?

All na mega city things

hmm........forget if i was last on the queue, i will make an announcement that everyone of us should cross the express at once. Lets see how many people KAI officials will catch. And if they try to touch any of us, let the others mob him.

Poor planning due to indiscipline. If people were using pedestrian bridges as they should, and not jumping the roads like monkeys, then there would have been plenty lawful alternatives. I agree that things cannot continue like this, but the alternative is not to abandon the bridge altogether.

Don't @ola[b]pluto[/b]. It is possible that he saw such monstrous queues to cross road at Scandinavia in planet Pluto.
Nigerian always finding excuses justify the mind-boggling suffering and humiliation people are being forced to go through.

In Lekki expressway, despite billions of naira raked in daily, enough pedestrian bridges were not constructed as the roads is progressing. People will have to trek for kilometres to use the few available bridges. In the entire stretch from Admiralty toll plaza near Lekki Phase 1 to Ajah, a distance of 17km there are not up to 5 bridges. So people have to trek for about 3.5km to cross a bridge else KAI personnel will arrest you.

Besides, this 100's of innocent souls have lost trying to dash across. The elderly and kids are the most vulnerable victims. Every day you see LCC van picking dead bodies and scrapping mangled flesh from the road. Is this also happening in Scandinavia?

That's Lagos; not a typical way of life in other parts of the country. Just Lagos! That place is supremely overrated. The shittiesst place by far in the country. One literally struggles for everything. The norm was for one to struggle for bus, accomodation and the rest. Now people struggle to use the bridge? Ridiculous. I keep saying that lagosians have the worst quality of life of all Nigerians.
50 years from now people will probably queue up to breath the air in that crappy place.

I can't be on this queue. I'll trek to Oworonshoki, where KAI men won't be, and then cross the expressway.

@bolded is where our Government's problems lie. You refuse to provide the basics due to your citiziens and expect them to comply or complain so you can do what you are supposed to do.. w

But they are using this bridge as it should be used and actually queuing up which I commend. It is unacceptable to expect people to spend this much time to cross a road daily. It's obvious the bridge isn't sufficient for the pedestrian traffic hence my point of poor planning.

If you consider the amount of time we spend on traffic, queuing for bridges, queuing to use ATM machines or banking services, queuing for fuel etc, just imagine if all those time was spent on more value added activities and the impact on our economy.

prinsam30:
all of them for just plan am, cross the road at once, make we see wetin for happen

iron barricade like 2 bustops to the bridge and 2 bustops after the bridge. So all man must use thr bridge

queenstll:
omo, can't they just kadikpe cross the road?

No way, if KAI catch you eh. BTW if they know they wont allow crossing the road shouldnt thye just widen the bridge or build more. This are the things we do that make us look like stone age people.

olafum1:
Lol.. to use pedestrian bridge even get holdup/queue
