Seriously the the ikorodu road is always busy but that ore road en, I used over 7hrs there d day I made use of it last.

midehi2:

It was the busiest but it's poor condition and delayed reconstruction cost it a lot of traffic to the Akure - Magongo route. And once those notorious long distance truckers latch onto new watering holes along the way, only overwhelming economics can take them back to the old route.

To the average Lagosian, the rest of Nigeria means Ogun state and Ibadan; one of the many reasons why NYSC shouldn't be scrapped yet.

Keneking:
Add Oshodi Apapa expressway..

No stats to support this arguments...nonsense

Have you ever travelled out of Lagos?

Mynd44:
You should also mention Ikorodu road and Lagos-Abeokuta

Which one is the East-West?

Meaning u have never left lagos.

Adaodogwu:
ABA Portharcort

Aba - Portharcourt ke .

Pointblank09:
Actually Warri/PH Express way

It's called East West Road. It runs from warri to PH and Akwa Ibom

Icon4s:

Its funny since I am actually not in Southern Nigeria right now

fuckboys:
eh, lagos - badagry express way na die

I tire oo,,30 minutes journey on that road amount to two hours

Another busy highway was the Ikom - Ogoja - Katsina Ala and its various tributaries but that too has been largely abaondoned due to its bad state.

I like this thread
By people comment you can know those that haven't travelled out if their States before

Mynd44:

It simply means you have never visited any where outside Lagos in the south.

Then you need to take a trip down south and Travel from Benin to Port Harcourt so u'll see the East-West road.

Technically he is right. But it is called the Portharcourt - Enugu expressway. Once you drive past Aba heading north, the traffic volume falls dramatically.

This is a list of the 5 Busiest Expressways/Highways in All of Nigeria.
Cheers.

1: Lagos - Ibadan Expressway (E1).
The Lagos - Ibadan expressway is the federal highway between the most populated city (Lagos) and the largest city (Ibadan), and is by far the busiest highway in Nigeria. It connects the Metropolis around Lagos to most parts of the South West, as well as the Northern 2/3rd of the country. The expressway is the oldest in Nigeria, commissioned in August 1978 during the Military era, under the administration of Major-General Olusegun Obasanjo, who resigned on October 1, 1979, before he was later elected in May 29, 1999. It is also the busiest in West Africa, and is reputed to constitute one of the largest road network in Africa as a whole.

2: Shagamu - Ore - Benin Expressway (A121)
Frequent travelers would agree that the Benin-Ore-Shagamu road is one of the most travelled roads in Nigeria. This is the second busiest road route in Nigeria. It connects Lagos and it surroundings to parts of the South West, South South, and the South East Zones of Nigeria through Ogun, Ondo and Edo states. It is ever busy.

3: Okene - Lokoja - Abuja (A2)
Since the capital and government-seat of Nigeria was moved from Lagos to Abuja, the FCT has become one of the most popular cities in the country and its roads, some of the most travelled in Nigeria. You can enter Abuja from Suleja in Niger State, from Kaduna in the North, from Nassarawa in the East, and from Lokoja, Kogi State in the South among other major roads, but the Abuja-Lokoja-Okene express is the most-used, for the mere fact that it connect the three vibrant zones of Southern Nigeria to the national capital. Thousands of vehicles coming from the Western, Southern and Eastern parts of the country take the Abuja-Lokoja-Okene road and sometimes the Ilorin - Jebba- Suleja road into the FCT.

4: Abuja - Kaduna Expressway (A234/235)
This is another important central nerve roads of Nigeria. It connects Abuja , the national capital with heavily populated portions of the North such as Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Jigawa Etc. It is mostly used by people from the Northern part of the country to reach Abuja and further through the Okene routh into the Southern portions of the country. It is always busy

5: Enugu - Onitsha Expressway
This road connects probably the two most important cities in the Eastern zone of the country. Onitsha and Enugu, passing through Awka, the Anambra state capital. Having been built in the late 1970s. It is one of the busiest roads used by Igbo traders and other people from the Eastern parts of the country as well as parts of Benue and Cross-river states trying to reach the Western part of the country. Hundreds of luxurious buses and trucks and smaller vehicles ply the road on daily basis and it is generally very busy.

op i agree with you as i have travelled through all the roads you mentioned thanks to school,nysc, and job interviews and aptitde test wahala....but i believe after lagos ibadan road the next should be abuja-okene-lokoja road.

all those shouting aba-portharcourt road or badagry wateva are typical example of people that have never left their comfort zone.wake up guyz nigeria is wide..try traveling from taraba to kaduna withing northern nigeria ..you would see wonders

I have stayed in Abeokuta, Ibadan, Ekiti and I wain Akure earlier this month.

I have also been to Benin, Abia and Owerri and also lived a bit in PortHarcourt. That is just south.

Now, that I do not know the road network called "East-West" road does not mean I have not been on that network

I can bet if we start talking about "E1" a lot of people wont know it is actually the Lagos-Ibadan

Lagos - Benin
east west road

Ikorodu Road should be busiest road in Lagos & not Nigeria

unclezuma:
My dear signatures have been disabled...

hmmm.....had no idea..... thanks

East-West Road should receive a nod.

Owerri - Okigwe road

Ikorodu and Oshodi road is busier than any of these roads
