Lagos is highly overpopulated.

Because there is no stable electricity in the country.

Nigeman:
Mad man, is it Ambode that caused his son's death?

Lagos Roads have been experiencing Gridlock before and after independence.

Ambode is trying change the face of Lagos by constructing road networks and someone out there causing. The prayers of other Lagosians erase the curse.

I sympathise with him.

Bro calm down, the man is clearly in distress and atm anybody to take the blame would be okay for him. Btw what im hearing is that a government related activity led to the closure of the road, with lastma vehicles sef

You are way so,so stewpid!

It is He-Goats like you, people who talk first before engaging their brain, that make Leaders behave anyhow.
Now let me break it down for you:


1.) That their have been traffic hold-ups in Lagos since 1957, is not the issue here. The Boy who died was not born in 1957 or whatever.

2.) The Governor is the Chief Law officer of the State and as such, "the buck stops at his table". He is held responsible for whatever happens (official issues) in the state.
3.) Ambode is the Governor of Lagos, he is an APC member and APC is in-charge of Lagos state and its "state apparatus".

4.) The Gridlock of that particular day, on that particular road, was caused because APC was having a convention nearby to that road.

5.) As expected, the large influx of PC members and vehicles, reduced the chances of any free flow of traffic on that road.

6.) When a child is sick, the parents have a duty to seek medical attention for him. This Dad, did exactly that.

7.) It is not the responsibility of a private Citizen, to ensure that the roads are free and motorable. That is the responsibility of Govt...headed by Ambode
8.) Ambode and his Govt, FAILED this Dad because they did not perform their duties, nay keeping the road free and motorable for private.

9) While this is not holding Governor Ambode PERSONALLY liable for the death of the infant (at least, as a Governor, he has IMMUNITY!), the fact that "the state and its agencies" shirked in their responsibility, to make the road passable for other road users, they have what in "law', is called Vicarious liability".

10.) Those who organised the convention, have a "duty of care" to other road users: They should have made arraignments for "traffic management" and even more, should have made arraignments for "EMERGENCY EVACUATION"...wherever an emergency like the case of this boy arises.
In saner climes, the Ambulance, Fire Brigade and even Air Ambulance, will be on standby, for emergencies.

11.) Imagine, if a House was on fire and the fire engine got to that point, is it not going to "snail through" the same traffic, being held up until the house gets razed to the floor?
Those who organised that Convention are not only brainless, they are careless and need to be punished by law.
(This is not about partisan politics as l also voted APC in the last election.)

12.) When you want to "infringe" on public space you should get a permit, pay an amount that will in-turn be used to bear the cost of "emergency and alternative solutions" to the problems your actions are likely to cause for other users of that public space.

All these were not done...the father was unaware that the road was blocked...there wasn't any emergency evacuation alternative (like air ambulance) for the sick infant... father tried all his best but had to watch with his own eyes, as his son gradually gave up the ghost because some Political touts needed space to slug it out over political office!

Same thing happened last week, at the Ibadan-end of the Toll gate when Two Buses were involved in a HEAD-ON COLLISION because of diversion created by Road Repair works! No Sign to indicate that another vehicle is using your lane and coming in the opposite direction nor anything to organise and manage the "overtaking" in the shared lane

I have seen a whole two Kilometer Over-head bridge (flyover) built over an "8-lane express Road" with another four lanes of road emptying into that same road at the junction that the flyover was meant to cater for, without blocking the road entirely and Not a single accident occurred while the work was started and finished within a record time.
The reason is that those who are doing the roadworks know that they would be in serious trouble, should an accident occur at that place, which can be attributed to their road works they are doing.

They did EVERYTHING humanly possible - created new diversions, marked it properly, installed temporary traffic lights and where not possible, had dangerous spots manned by "human traffic controllers" that directed and passed traffic in an orderly fashion.
They ensured that there are no dangerous puts or manholes that could injure anyone, they placed enough "fluorescent Caution Signs" at the approach to the road works and did everything possible to ensure that everyone felt that they (roadworks company) are "responsible for their actions" at that spot.

But in Nigeria, "Life is cheap and can be wasted". Even the Life Citizens (like you) are too dumb and too cheap to be worthy of being preserved, hence your silly defence of the Governor, without using your brain first.

That is what Nigeria in general, had been reduced to...and that is what clowns like you are happy with and applaud, as good governance.
Thunder fire you.

NB: I feel so much sympathy for this Dad, l can imagine how you felt, watching what you and your wife laboured and suffered for, dying without any help, right there in your presence. Its really a trauma. may the heaven heal you and your wife and give you another baby, though that would not be a replacement..... That Child that died is irreplaceable and he could have been anything in future. But take heart.

Damalex4luv:
Taah looking for compensation.... Why don't you take your child to a nearby hospital. You better pray that the death of that baby should not be on your head due to your irresponsibility and stupidity.

Are you sure that you're mentally OK?

YOU ARE THE MAD MAN

You are the mad one here.. In fact you are very very stupid.. I hate you for this comment.. Read the post well and digest it.. There was a road block not regular traffic.. The man there just lost his 8 day old child ..

You are apparently the mad man.

You start by calling him a mad man, and now end by sympathizing with him.

I'm not even understanding again.

Madness collabo.

DONGOYARO1:
RIP to the baby, but why blame Ambode? People should know that it is not by force to stay in Lagos.
The Lagos traffic will cause the death of your babies; go back to your villages where there are not traffic. It is not by force you stay in Lagos.

The other day, after the Redemmed church programme, some people where blaming Pastor Adeboye and the Ogun state government for the gridlock on the Lagos-Ibadan road, and I told them that it is not by force you stay in Lagos or Ogun state. Go back to your villages !!

You fool stfu!

DONGOYARO1:
Is it Ambode's fault that Lagos is over populated thereby leading to heavy vehicular traffic? If Ambode decides to deport some people back to their villages now, you lot will be the first to cry blue murder. I am sure that man is not a native of Lagos. He should rather blame the Government of his own state of origin that have done nothing to attract his likes back home, away from Lagos

can u see how petty u sound? who is a native of d world we leave in? even d air u breath is it urs? I play d tribal game but sum ones son is dead, all u can say is dat he may not be a native of Lagos... I feel like vomiting beans n okro soup on ur head...
