When there is no Law and Order. Where is the Police? It’s only to collect 50 Naira that they know. Why can’t police stop people from forming extra lanes? Why can’t they stop people from selling on the road? Why can’t they stop people from driving on lane markings and not using their lanes? Naija Poloce will just be standing on the corner gisting while the world around them burns. Nobody in this sh**hole country cares about Law and Order. Give me 100 good men, soldiers with guns and stun guns and I will sanitize Lagos traffic. We just have a bunch of air-heads at the helm of affairs in this country. Can you go to U.S and drive on the lane? Or drive on the service lane? Or have sellers on the road Nigeria truly needs Sowores revolution. Is it an abomination that we should have smart people leading us? Must it always be ignorant people that lead us? 10 Likes 1 Share |

Ishilove:These are the 15 cities with the worst traffic in the world - there is one noticeable absentee 06/07/2019 | PULSE NIGERIA | INEMESIT UDODIONG Tell your friends The cities with the worst traffic congestion have been revealed by TomTom in its 2018 Traffic Index. Traffic jams Traffic jams The report, gathered from across 403 cities in 56 countries, found that Mumbai in India has the highest congestion levels in the world. Here, commuters spend an average of 65 per cent extra travel time stuck in traffic. The Colombian capital of Bogota follows with 63 per cent congestion. Lima, the capital of Peru, comes third with 58 per cent. Here are the 15 cities with the worst traffic in the world: Mumbai Bogota Lima New Delhi Moscow Instabul Jakarta Bangkok Traffic congestion (statista) Traffic congestion (statista) Mexico City Recife Bucharest Saint Petersburg Kiev Dublin Lodz Despite the increase in traffic congestion across the world, Ralf-Peter Schäfer, TomTom's VP of Traffic information, remains hopeful. According to him, TomTom is "working towards a future where vehicles are electric, shared and autonomous so that our future really is free of congestion and emissions. We have the technology to make this future happen - but it takes a collaborative effort. From road authorities to governments; car makers to car drivers, we all have a part to play." ALSO READ: Top 5 things to do while in Lagos traffic Lagos state is missing One noticeable absentee from this list is Lagos, Nigeria's largest city. It is notorious for its congestion which has Lagosians spending hours in traffic on a daily basis. One reason for this is the fact that the population is currently hovering between 9,013,534 according to the 2006 National Population Commission census and over 22,553,924 according to claims by the state government. A contributing factor is a surge in the number of private vehicles combined with the bad roads and the state's inadequate transport system. These four factors making Lagos roads a nightmare to motorists. Traffic jam in Lagos Traffic jam in Lagos This explains why Lagos was ranked as one of the worst places to live in the world last year. According to Mercer, the largest human resources consulting firm in the world, the megacity has the worst quality of living in 2018. In the annual ranking, Lagos ranked low (212), followed by Durban (89) which is the second African city on the list. INEMESIT UDODIONG 1 Like |

It's really hard living in Lagos considering the environmental challenges you face on a daily basis. Population growth and bad roads are other factors contributing to this. 3 Likes |

selemo:Who does the development? As a guy, I believe you can arrange your house. If power reach, can do your compound. If you still have energy, you need to gather your neighbours/association and fix up your street. You need to be a heavy big boy to fix up your estate. And that's the highest power a single fellow has The state roads are in the hands of the government and if those roads remain erroded and impassable, vehicles and business cannot function. That's why people will still run out and back to Lagos. Other state governments need develop their states as individuals cannot do this 2 Likes |

Y won't dere be much traffic in lagos,when people from different locations illegally com to pitch their tents there,the worst part is those big men that do acquire big cars everyday by day more than 2 for that matter just to belong.. They make it in such a way that if you want to make it big you must com to Lagos i can't see d reason y the Federal govt will situate all the core businesses in Lagos,sea port should be opened in other States to make life easy for Nigerians.The traffic is so unbearable 2 Likes |

okeniti:It's the only solution and they know but they wont do it. It will affect NURTW's revenue because a lot of commuters would use the waterways thus reducing the number of buses on the road. Nurtw is an important stakeholder in Lagos politics. 6 Likes |

FuckThaMod: this is a silly comment to make Warri would have been a relatively safe city rivalling Lagos it has a port And many Oil Coys were anchored there But when the myopic, short sighted and stupid youths and people began there kidnaps; harassment and creating an atmosphere of chaos and insecurity many fled to lagos the companies fled to Lagos Port Harcourt has taken that same self destructive route with "devee" ; harassment, cultism etc in the state many have fled to Lagos and Abuja as well. now port Harcourt is quick descending into a poohole Kano and Kaduna would have easily been rivals to Lagos But ethni religious crisis and violence have made many flee Kano and Kaduna to Abuja and some to Lagos assuming Kano and Kaduna were not time bombs, many youths would have been moving there as an alternative to Lagos as was done in the 1980s what about onitsha? onitsha used to be a nest of vipers kidnapping robberies etc our people fled to Lagos built homes and opened their businesses in Alaba tho now things have improved greatly and peoole are now moving to onitsha even night life and shoprite and other businesses for leisure like that are springing up would this have been the case 15 years ago? what of Aba being a cesspit ruined by successive state govt there? Lagos is receiving all these crowd and investment because of the relative safety (I said relative) and businesses are setting up there, and if course the relative tolerance it has created opportunities for many But the moment Lagos adopts the self destructive path other cities have adopted in Nigeria people and businesses will flee to Abuja so before we talk we need to go to the root of the matter to understand why Lagos is congested. not all the emotional excuses some are giving 23 Likes 5 Shares |

My pain about this traffic is that it's a problem that can be solved but stakeholders (government and populace) chose to do nothing. People problem: obey basic rules of driving for Pete's sake. Drive only on ur right of way only. Government problem: fix potholes: there is this big ditch that constrains cars to one at a time causing gridlock on the way to marina. Open up other means of transportation (waterways and light rail) thereby greatly decongest the roads. If we can get this right in Lagos then our life expectancy will improve. Everyday I feel my health is deteriorating after work. 6 Likes 1 Share |
