Moderators kimi Posted March 20, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2019 It has come to this o.... lol We need an intervention! The traffic situation seems to be getting worse by the day and I can't seem to understand why. Last night, I didn't head out till about 10.30pm and even when I did, I was still held up in a very slow moving traffic that I imagined only happens during rush hour. Sighs... Could it be that more people are buying cars? (I'm happy for them o... Lol). Could it be that more people have migrated to Lagos State? Or could it just be that it is a certain type of road madness aka curse that cannot be explained? Please help us Lagosians solve this traffic mystery. I sleep fatigued, wake up not feeling so much better. Na wa 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawken Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Its all of the above tbh. And because the government doesn't care, they are doing little or nothing about it. I mean, after all, they have sirens to help them through if they want. Every time i've had to go a distance recently, i use gokada. The only problem is because i have a fro, the helmet thing is really an inconvenience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Txunamy Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The traffic situation is horrible. Like its real bad. But I tell you what, it was wayyy worse 10 years ago. Then it was just a single lane. You see that long stretch from VI to Ajah? You would stay there for 8hours. I almost blacked out one day on the ride home with my mum. The double lanes eased it up, but it doesn't help. The bridge at Ajah helped too. Back in the days you dare not go to Ajah from lekki during rush hour. Wo, you would sleep on the road. The matter tire me I no go lie. but what to do? There was a funny tweet that circulated last year, someone told people not to bring back any relative when coming back to lag after the Christmas break. Lagos is overpopulated. It would help if we had less cars on the road and more structures put up. Imagine if you can walk from your house to work and back without driving. Wouldn't that be grand? 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damiee Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Lol this traffic situation...

Yes population, and way too many people who live on the mainland, work on the island. Also, a large percentage of those people drive. Wish I had a colleague who lived close by, would really like to explore car pooling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarlet Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I use to leave work then 9pm and still get home 11:25pm; My mom would sit up until i walk in. She had enough the day I was stalked in traffic at past midnight. The woman almost ran mad. I got to my street and was the only female in a lonely park. The long unending queue at BRT stations doesn't help matters and is very discouraging, I don't bother waiting. My route Lagos - ikorodu road is curse with traffic. My blood pressure was quite high due to traffic-induced stress during those times. I had to borrow myself brain and moved out. Now I stay 15 mins away from my work station and I have peace of mind. We are frigging too much in Lagos. Overly dense population with little or no infrastructure to accommodate the lots. It's a pathetic situation. And I don't see it getting any better soon.

Mimy Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I think part of the reason for the crazy traffic and Lagos seems so dense is partly because Lagos isn't bless with landmass. Like half of it is covered with water. Kano is really populated too. Like the natives alone are already too much not to talk of all the other ethnic groups trooping in. It's only here one will see a nuclear family of 20+ yet Kano isn't that dense because of the vast land. As people troop in, residential places get spread to less occupied and new places. I'm really worried for lagosians. The first thing I noticed when I entered Lagos is the air. It's so heavy and stuffy and suffocating and the heat, jezz! To worsen the case every neighbor have this little Gen they nicknamed I pass my neighbor that kill with noise and smoke. It almost as if they have completely written NEPA off. The aggressiveness, wai! Too much angry people in Lagos. I know life is hard but mehn, it's something else in Lagos. Tuale to Lagos resident oo. You guys are the real MVP.
