Lagos is s big mess. Cursed by myopic and selfish leaders.
You can't access anywhere in lagos without hitch. I mean, no single place. From Lekki to the Airport should be an hour or less drive but you would be lucky to escape it in 4 hours. From Iyana ipaja to Oshodi is as chaotic as hell can be. From Ojota to Oshodi, a journey of less than 20 minutes can take you between 1: 30 mins to 2 Hours.
From Apapa to any place in Lagos is the worst experience you wouldn't like to go through.
Those living at Okoko, Badadgry ,Eba, Alaba are now under a perpetual calamity. Their level of suffering depends on their destination.
Those living around ejigbo, igondo etc, your case is forgotten.
The citizens didn't help matters. Lagosians are known to hype and glorify their myopic governors even when it was obvious the governors are working against the citizens.
Some of the roads that were accessible under fashola administration have been blocked and abandoned by contractors that worked for Ambode administration.
Going by the look of things, the present administration, who spent her 100 days in office denying her campaign promises, has nothing to offer to Lagosians.
So the worst days are coming �.
Not only Lagos State but the whole 36 states. The commonest things you see in any developed countries is Road, Water & Light. But Our governments are more serious to loot for their generations yet unborn than providing those things for us.

Very true. Lagos state had its best years under Fashola and Alh. Lateef Jakande. Alh. Lateef Jakande is arguably the best governor Lagos ever had. These ones from Tinubu except Fashola are just noise makers.

Late Funsho Williams is perhaps the greatest gov Lagos never had.

That dirty teeth, goro-eater-hugger Tinubu knows a thing or two why that is

He was murdered in cold blood and no single investigation to unravel the crime till date. I think the power circle are afraid of Funsho Williams and they know one or two about the death.

Come to Satellite Town in Oriade LGA, you will weep for people living in that vicinity. People are abandoning their home due to lack of access to road network. Despite huge amount of money Lagos State government and Oriade LCDA are collecting from Tanker drivers and other road users, that road is a time bomb waiting to explode. Infact, I lack words to describe the situation.

@OP,

I thought u wanted to say something else,but all you really nagged about is hold up....my guy, stop the beef....I do not like APC and the way tinubu is passing Down gov for his own selfish reasons, however, you had no single point of all u had to say is the traffic, that's typical with mega cities.

I live in reading which is about 1 hour drive from London, talking traffic, London is worse....you are not permitted to drive, you can spend all your salary on parking if care is not taken. So bad that some areas are tagged congestion zone and you have to pay to use that road. I almost missed an exam on Wednesday despite the fact that I used their BRT, crap... It was a 20mins drive on map, 1.5hours I was still in the Bus, so what are you talking.

Back then when I do frequent the US, I do bunk in New Jersey, each that we zoom to New York, it was he'll and chaotic, another pile of trash regarding traffic, I worked in joburg and Pretoria in 2015/2016, while Pretoria was a darling, I go dey look my office for Sandton for front like this, yet I am stuck for 20-30mins, all cause of traffic....this thing are normal in mega cities, go ask about Tokoyo, Shanghai,Mumbai, or even Nairobi.

If you wanna beef, beef with facts, I don't like any politician, they are all thieves, but Lagos has had back to back government that have defined governance in Nigeria....biko mention another state with governance like Lagos over 3 governors , not just a flash in the pan like Donald Duke.

No state in Nigeria has a better health care than Lagos, No state in Nigeria has civil servants treated better than Lagos over a long run, No state in Nigeria has better education than Lagos. No governor feel they owe their citizens like Lagos....come out with facts.

This is not saying Lagos states governors ha e been good, I don't like any of den from tinubu....but compared to other states in Nigeria, come off it.......the traffic jam you talked about is trash

Sanwo-Olu was in all their faces before election. You couldn’t go a few steps without seeing his face. It was reported that if you open your cooking pot, there was a chance you’d see him inside begging for your votes.

After election, no one has spotted him. Are they cursed with “visionless “ governors? Of course not!! The Governors are puppets who do not have their own vision rather they carry out the wishes of the Bourdillon baron.

Till they can break free from the shackles of this greedy entity... only then will they see a difference

My brother!!!

Truth be told our so called leaders are self centered ,visionless and clueless in giving out the best to their citizenry.

They will not imitate what Gov. Dave Umahi is doing in Ebonyi...!

Gov. Ayade is the worst performing governor since 1999 we regain democracy in Nigeria and Guinness book of world record have his name there to that above assertion.

Well considering how close Ogun state is to Lagos and how the state and its residents have a lot to gain if only the government can lure in companies from Lagos and build housing estates. I believe Ogun state is worst of them all. All states in Nigeria aside the Niger delta states

Ikotun-Abaranje is worst

you're right. I stay along Ikotun Abaranje road and the pot holes are something else. I even heard Sanwo Olu has a family house along the road. Too bad.

The standard definition of a “mega city” is a city with 10 million or more inhabitants...
Accordingly, Lagos is indeed a MEGACITY whether or not politicians choose to use the term.

Meanwhile, we can blame the government all we want, but...
The reality is that Lagosians are the WORST thing to happen to Lagos! Eko oni Baje!
