I think we should be optimistic for once.

When they don’t make efforts, you complain.

When they do, you show disdain.

What else would you have them do- other than give directives.

What you don’t know is that Nigeria is this way because Nigerians don’t obey simple directives. You can tell by driving on Nigerian roads

What directive was given earlier& who disobeyed it? When buhari came to Lagos in February 4 campaign, apapa gridlock was cleared. After buhari left, d gridlock reappeared. Who is deceiving who?

When d gridlock was cleared cos of buharis campaign in February, did they need presidential directive for that?

I hope they obey this instruction.
But the headline is misleading.
Buhari didnt give the directive but Osinbajo. So I pray it dtand.


Osinbajo, chairs the task force, that reports to the President.


It's probably Osinbajo's brain child, yet it would have been useless, if PMB didnt buy into it or grant approval. undecided

Do they need approval from buhari b4 they clear gridlock? Who gave them approval b4 they cleared d gridlock in February because of buharis campaign in Lagos?

This has got to do with the status quo generally in Nigeria.

And even with regards to Apapa, There are lots of politics involved with that port. Plus the port is overburdened... when the Badagry port is completed things may get better. I think this government is trying.

If The foundation is destroyed... what can the righteous do?
Re: President Buhari Orders Immediate Clearing Of Apapa Gridlock by desmond2pk: 1:05pm On May 22, 2019
Nobody asked how?
An order from an illiterate.
What is the reasons for the gridlock?
Bad roads
Lack of space for trucks to park.
Etc
All these has to be tackeled before gridlock will ease.

If you read btw d lines in d article, you would see where military formations where given the order to dismantle all road blocks and clear out all their security apparatus from the vicinity!

Who else can give such orders to a military organization? Have u seen the apapa gridlock cleared for an Osinbajo visit? I remember Osinbajo, flying a chopper on his last visit. Whereas, the presidential security team, can get it cleared effortlessly for the visit of the President.

I don't need read between d lines cos if I have read between d lines, it means d directive isn't explicit. D question I asked is this, do they need presidential directive b4 they no that they will clear d gridlock? Are u sure we are having d same discussion? I said d same gridlock that they are giving presidential directive 4 was cleared in February when buhari came 4 campaign & u are talking about osinbajo flying helicopter. What's d correlation?

Congratulations to transporters. The military has been feeding fat on the traffic management especially the Nigerian navy. Succour has come to the transporters. This is one of the best news. You al can see that the FG can work ONLY if they want to. cost of trucking of containers will drastically be reduced and export would be promoted more.

You can't read btw d lines then.

Apapa road is a federal road. The military(naval) and paramilitary(customs), have probably taken over jurisdiction. Thereby, denying the lastma and the traffic police access or control over traffic activities.

No one, apart from PMB can give them d directive, to shift their attentions, elsewhere.

PMB's visit, is a state visit, and mountains are moved, to make it hitchfree. So much so, movements in d entire Lagos is affected! Not just apapa. Such restrictions, can't be placed on movement during the VP's visit.

The military and paramilitary, probably think it's their duty to create those roadblocks and moving for d presidential visit, was just a temporary thing.

If u don't still get it, after all these, don't bother. Let's just both move on, and continue on our path to a better life kiss
Re: President Buhari Orders Immediate Clearing Of Apapa Gridlock by KingRabota: 1:27pm On May 22, 2019
my guy i used to live in Apapa,Police ,Army,Navy, LastMAN etal are stuffing themselves into Gluttony. Keeping in mind that the Trailelers are parked all along Ikorodu Road beginning from FADEYI and continues along Western Avenue all the way to the apapa axis. Clearing this mess is a great decision, but Implementing it will be a nightmare.

Whether PMBs visit was a state visit or not isn't d issue. D issue is if d gridlock was cleared for 24hours cos of d president, y couldn't it b cleared 4d residents & d people that use d roads everyday? Is it d lot of these people to suffer cos they aren't d president?

If d military & other paramilitary guys have been setting up roadblocks, what has d govt done to discourage them or punish them all this while? Or is this govt not fighting corruption?

Y do d military create roadblocks at apapa? With or without d roadblocks, would there still b roadblocks? Is it military roadblocks that is d cause of gridlock?

Nigerian government incompetence, will make a simple situation seem like rocket science....they had to wait for Baba to issue a directive on a traffic situation...quite a shame, with all the all para military apparatus being paid with tax money...the only job they are doing well is robbing Nigerians. What a mess.

So our president is now a road safety officer. If I was FRSC I will be using those people to make money.
