Help us ask the governor what his plan was for traffic control when he decided to close the independence bridge....

Did LASTMA plan ahead....

All their projects managers on the job, all their relevant ministries and commissioners did they anticipate or plan for this??

Channels should help us understand this people's thought processes when they handle such projects......

In this day and age, in this trying times .....

U will waste money waste time waste fuel and maybe even not get paid.....
OALandAgents: 9:27pm On Apr 02
Minister of Works Engr. Nweze Dave Umahi is really working he fixed Third Mainland bridge now he is fixing Independence bridge.

Omo, I have been waiting for someone to make this comment!!๐Ÿ˜
I even pity private Car Owners more - imagine burning N20,000 fuel between lekki to Marina!!!

My bro, if you have a car, don't even dare to carry it to work, better to use public transport..

I don't drive to work, that's what my wife used to carry my kids to school, just a street to my house and may be she just want to go out with the kids...

Only time you will see me carry the car, is if I want to hussle on the road and carry people and use their money to buy fuel, but I don't do that, because majority of them are not patience enough, make dem no go remove my jalopy door ๐Ÿ˜€

Once there is heavy rain in Lagos expect the roads to become clogged with traffic, this is typical of Lagos State undecided
That's why I keep driving in the rain regardless. If you wait for all the Lagos motorists taking shelter during the rain, when the rain stops, you will find yourself stuck in crazy traffic.

All the cars will be out at the same time, clogging all the arteries of the roads all at once. Nobody would want to obey traffic signs because they wanna get home on time.

Lagos is a little bit overrated for me.
I prefer ibadan

BERGER TO LEKKI 7HRS

Lagos roads are too tight for its population.

Too many people own cars in the city and drives it daily. Had it been there are functional rail system connecting key locations, most people would leave cars at home and use train.

I am still in traffic. Left my office since 6.30pm
KAGODI: 10:43pm On Apr 02
The traffic is terrible in Lagos today since morning. I don't understand what this government consider the citizens to be. You want to reconstruct a road and there is no adequate plan put in place to prevent gridlock knowing fully well that there are just 2 major roads that connect VI to Mainland. People spent valuable time in gridlock to and fro their offices with huge economic loss.
Oh what a government ?

This is pure wickedness from the useless government. I have been at eko Hotel since still no way. What would government be treating her citizens like nobody?

So Lekki is on the mainland of Lagos ?
How long have you been staying in Lagos ?
naptu2:


The headline is perfectly correct. Your suggestion is wrong.

The headline did not say Huge Traffic Jams In Every Single Part of Lagos Today.

Meanwhile, your suggestion, "Huge Traffic Jams In The Islands Of Lagos " is wrong, because there were traffic jams in Lekki and Lekki is not an island .
jaxxy(m): 1:02am On Apr 03
Why was there no traffic advisory?? This us a huge failure for the state government

So Lekki is an island?? Can you read a map? Were you taught what an island is in school?

Let me just help you for free, Lekki is a peninsula (go and find out what that means).

I've been going to Lekki since 1984 (before the expressway was completed) and I know exactly what it is. You need to use a map and a dictionary, young man.

Geographically ,you are correct .
However ,you should know that ,as a Lagosian ,you are either staying on the mainland or on the Island .
Where do those that stay at Lekki fall under ?

Hahahahahaha.


Carl90 does not know the difference between a peninsula and an island. He does not know the difference between the mainland and the island. He thinks that Lekki (which I have always known, since the 1970s, that it is on the mainland) is on the island and he still wants me to engage him.

I bet that he doesn't know why Victoria Island is called an island.

I am done with you. Goodbye.

Carl90 is still trying to get my attention, isn't that funny?

He thinks that I will read anything he posts after the rubbish he has been posting since yesterday.

Someone who thinks that, "Huge traffic jams today" means that there were traffic jams in every part of Lagos.


Someone that thinks that Lekki is an island.

Why should I read anything he writes? I don't want to pollute my mind and I don't have time to waste. I'm never going to read his posts again.
