I don’t know who did this to Lagos. In the past, people used to refer to Ajegunle, Mushin, Ijora condescendingly. But nowadays, it seems the whole Lagos has become Ajegunle, Mushin and Ijora.
The most killing these days is the traffic. There is no thoroughfare in Lagos. If you are not aware and you leave your house, you will ‘die’ in the traffic.
How is it possible that a few big men will hold an entire state hostage with their own businesses? Tanker and fuel container owners have destroyed Lagos and its neighbouring Ogun State. One big man who owns over a hundred containers and his colleagues have chased every other road user away or reduce them to suffer in the traffic. A journey of 45minutes now take three to four hours or more; the unfortunate thing being that the tankers and containers now park inside residential streets, occupying roads and making it impossible for other road users. Cars and commercial buses are trapped in the traffic for hours….
