Have you ever been in traffic for more than four hours and spent the whole time wondering why, what, who, is causing the damn thing? Say no more we’ve got you. Disclaimer: You still can’t avoid it.

1. Garden Egg

Sometimes the person 10,345 cars away was just trying to buy fresh garden egg.

2. Gala

What if all the traffic in Lagos is just an evil plan by UAC to sell more Gala?

You don’t even need a prophet to tell you. Just hope there is still fresh gala when it’s your turn to buy.

3. Yourself

Why you no leave house early?

4. Witchcraft

Because witches and wizards also need to get to work…in their invisible cars.

5. Everybody that thinks this way

To beat the traffic In Lagos You've Gotta Leave Your House By 5am .. Urghh

— Mob Barley (@OlubusayomiJ) October 7, 2013

Because, if everybody leaves home at 5am together… Congratulations you played yourself.

6. And still some more witchcraft

Sometimes you really believe there are spirits on the road.

7. Any weather change

A little rain & everything goes wrong in Lagos.. mobile network ❌, wireless ❌, power ❌, traffic 💯

— 👑 Aku (@akunwa_) March 1, 2016

Rain, sunshine, small breeze and bam! Traffic will start.

8. Toyota Camry

See, please don’t buy another one, don’t enter one. Please help reduce traffic.

9. Okada owners

Lagos traffic will make somebody that is inside big Jeep to be admiring somebody on bike 😂

— Olayiwola Adeyemi (@MichaelBlaq) December 1, 2015

We believe they deliberately cause traffic, so that this will happen.

10. Searching bachelors

I might meet my wife and start a family in Lagos traffic with the way things are going.

— Swag Daddy (@ImNotAHooligans) August 20, 2015

These are the people that cause traffic so they can fulfill their purpose. Stay far from them.

11. Being smart but being stupid

In Lagos, driving a car is war. And in war, you don't tell your enemy your next move. That's why most people don't use indicators.

— Ken Ken (@theonlyfbk) February 2, 2015

Everybody wants to get to the front first, because competition.

12. And of course

These ones are never up to any good. As their name suggests they will make you get anywhere last.

13. Lagos Traffic

Me: Oga no vex. I go soon reach there. I'll be there in less than 15 minutes

Lagos traffic causes lagos traffic, so it can show you who is the boss here.

What other ridiculous reasons do you think causes traffic?
