Lagos Traffic is About to Get Crazier! | Zikoko!

If you live in Lagos then congested road traffic is no surprise to you. But, it’s about to get worse!

Sanwo-Olu, who has been ghosting Lagosians since he resumed office as governor, has finally come out from being AWOL to tell us that the repairs on Lagos roads won’t commence until the rains are over.

Meanwhile, train operations on the Lagos-Ibadan railway road have been suspended until December. Yes, most people really don’t care about that because; who uses the trains in Lagos? Well, surprisingly, some people do. No, I’m not lying, see…

Yes, that’s real. I was also shocked speechless the first time I saw people sitting on a train! Although, considering the fact that even a keke napep moves faster than these trains in Lagos, I can understand how that is possible.

Anyway, word on the streets is that the ousted train passengers, especially those who sit on it-totally ignoring the fine for that-are now seeking alternative means of transportation, hence they are flooding the streets like ants.

You are wont to see more of a sea of faces during traffic hour.
