I left my house around 11am this morning to attend the Google+ event at Get Arena in Victoria Island. By 1.15pm I was done. I got into my car to head back home...to attend to blogging matters...but guess what people? Five hours later I was still in traffic in Victoria Island. I swear to you I'm not kidding. I left Get Arena parking lot by past one, and by 6pm, I was still on Ozumba Mbadiwe street, which ordinarily from Get Arena shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. Then I heard that her excellency, the mother of all nations, the woman who puts food on our table, so has the right to disrupt our lives any time she likes, was in town. She came to Lagos and had her people block major roads on the island, literally shutting down the area. Like, where does that happen? Are these people freaking kidding me? How dare you do this to people? How can you disrupt people's lives just like that? Appointments and business transactions cancelled, because everyone was stuck in traffic for hours. All thanks to Patience Jonathan. That's so selfish, madam!
Anyway, after five hours in standstill traffic, I decided I couldn't continue, I was tired and hungry so I branched off to have something to eat, rest my feet, and wait for traffic to abate. Got home past 9pm, too tired to blog. What a wasted day! *Sigh* Catch y'all tomorrow.

And that's the end of the story abi Linda?,trust me Patience and Goodluck and all the high and mighty people in Aso rock will do worse when next they are in Lagos or any major city especially Port harcourt, since its via the PH airport they always travel to their country home . As far as( Security agencies and the presidency )are scared stiff by Boko Haram treats and they remain clueless and lack the guts to go after the sponsors of these Islamist animals.But they will rather keep causing this level of chaos but in vehicular and air traffic all in the name of securing the president, his wife, their kids, the VP ,his wife , their kids, etc the list of dignitaries afraid to die for Nigeria is endless. I have never seen any government that's doing every single thing wrong as compared to the one of GEJ, no wonder the folks who didn't want him to get near the late Yaradua sort of knew what they where doing. The man acts like he cant think using his own brain even with a PhD. He talks and make crazy statements as if he cant even process his own thoughts before speaking them out.Now that the people in South Korea have been pleased by a clear cut out lie that his government will end the Boko Haram insurgency by June ... he comes back home and with clueless security chiefs all they do is block the entire road when ever he or his wife move an inch outside of Aso Rock...I really wish right now that the so called constitution of this country is rejigged so its possible to pass a vote of no confidence on an out-rightly failing government and call for early elections. I really refuse to say these words ( I tire for Nigeria jor)..
I was freaking pissed ehn after deciding to leave work early to do some stuffs at home..... I wld ave just waited till 8pm at work.See d mad traffic from phase1...**rme God dey sha
Lool! I knw d feeling! I always av 2 find new routes jst 2 get 2 wrk! Infact it's all d major rds dese ppl blkd finish! Last month while goin 4 my CDS @ old parade na so dem blk rd 4rm NNPC hqr even afta conference center sef! Na waka I waka o! Chai! God help us
In the UK, where they are actively combating terrorism, they do not just close roads completely. It is gross irresponsibility on their part to do so in Nigeria. What if there is a medical emergency? Being thoroughly searched at the airport has nothing to do with it, it's done everywhere even in Naija. However, they just don't randomly search you like that if you are not a suspect. Even when serious leaders go to dangerous zones like Iraq, they don't shut the state down!
As regards to respect, this regime deserves none. They have NOT shown respect to Nigerians. It's high time we stopped this respect for thieves nonsense. You need to watch PM's question time in the house of commons, they argue without all the unnecessary title and undeserved respect we give in Naija.
I thank God, that He is faithful and will deal with ALL of them the same way they have dealt with us. Amen.
Absolute Madness!!!
Or what will happen?
Omg! D@ PDP convention day was annoyn! Dey blkd d rds d day b4! Total madness
Well, I don't expect the semi, too-know people that come on this blog to know any better. Who is Michelle Obama? Is she the yardstick of !st ladies? Jor, all of you pack well. Instead of you to addrtess the issue of the total decay in our system which your fathers, mothers, uncles, etc contributed to; you are here making uneccessary noise. Until the whole system is sanitised, this will always happen. She won't stop being the 1st lady just because you are all cursing her. The fact is if you are there in her position, you will not change it. When ordinary people block roads for parties and what not, you are here blaming Mrs Jonathan. Everyone should rise up and try and make one change in our society when they are in that seat of government. You may call her names, but my dears, she did not implement any of these when her husband came to power. Neither did he. Total and complete change and reorientation is what we need not comparisons with America.
@toyinleo, screw you and your dumb respect.
you sound clueless.
Dont know if you are tryin to be sarcastic but it's more for her own safety i think
This is the only country where our leaders would willingly ground all activities in their economic capital thereby losing millions of Naira because some leader or former leader (like during Obasanjo's birthday) is visiting.
I remember the last time Jonathan came to Lagos to see James Cameron, well one of Cameron's entourage on the day is my cousin, and from our discussion no one was quite impressed with the rubbish they saw that they. He was even more disgusted when a car in their convoy hit a lady and their escorts were threatening to even brush the woman.
I guess its the backwardness of our people, in this day and age with all the hi-tech security gadgets, we will still see ordinary house of rep members using 7 car motorcades in the middle of Lagos. It is hightime we ended this fuckery
Ha linda ,joooo,don't go there,dame jo boy,first lady iron lady,linda I still love ur blog oh ,don't let dame catch u ,for complainin,u better see don't talk.bootylycious diva
ma people,ndo ooo. Buh na we take our hand vote Mrs EBELE GOODLUCK JOnATHAN and her Husband MR PATIENCE JONATHAN. We all know who rules d Jonathan household. it means we knew who we were voting for. However Dame should realise that Nigeria is an entity of it own and not hers to do as she ses fit
it wasn't a gud experience at all . for me leaving Apapa to Dolphin Extension had to turn back at a point. God help us in this our country.... they are meant to serve us but na the other way the whole thing be...
Anonymous, April 13, 2012 4:19 AM, You are more stupid that anyone can imagine. Idiot of the 1st order. I am so sure you are her supporter for ordinary a glass of coke or N1000. Cheap labor.
What they fail to realise is that blocking the roads does not neccessarily guarantee their safety from Boko Haram. Those terrorists always have insiders so they'll be shocked that if bombs are to be dropped, they'll be dropped right in their bedroom.
Jonathan and Patience should stop inconveniencing citizens going about their normal daily activities.
How were little kids picked from school yesterday? This is really sickening. Pls LORD, make her forget Uyo & Owerri forever. AMEN!
So she thinks all the road blockage will stop killers from getting to her if they want to abi??? Shows how dimwitted Madam Dame and most of all of 'em bigwigs in this county really are. But Linda, wont dis get to her and put you in trouble???I know how upset you are cos that traffic affected me too. But please, you need to be extra careful ooo.
@ Anonymous 4:19, a space has been created for you in hell.
I wonder when this nonsense will stop. I got shoved from behind by governor uduaghans orderly (bull mastiff) at Benin airport on Easter Monday, and the useless Governor saw what happened and looked on. I wonder how I was to have known he was coming from behind! For goodness sakes I am a lady, how could he have thought I was a threat to that ugly bulldog? A time will come when these excellencies (nincompoops) would be assaulted physically for their displays of stupidity. Arrant nonsense
U shud know she came to Attend the Tour and Peace advocacy Campaign held for her @ the Zinnia hall of the Eko hotel and Suites...so my dear linda, she's touring for peace ooo!hehehehe.
So, in one word she's a "Twat"

Awon ode meji.

Did she drop some nice little english? That would put some a smile on us face. Welcome home linda babe.
This is so freaking disgusting! What de fcuk was she thinkin?
my dear linda dats wat we experience almost everyday in abuja. becos the president or his wife, even senators hav to attend an event, our lives have to be on stand still. its so annoying. where in the world does this happen.
In Nigeria thats where it happens,so sad.
Oh shut up!!! That's why Nigeria is still the way it is. We. Can excuse away anything. Mental laziness! David cameron who drives without much fuss in uk, who or wot is responsible? And if u say the system, who is in charge of the system?Pls don't get me started!!
@ Anonymous 04: 14. U have no clue WAt u are talking about. What do u mean by " they block certain routes if Michelle Obama is passing by?" FYI, Mrs Obama just left Georgia and the place of her visit is on my street in Buckhead. No street was blocked. Matter of fact, only few pips knew she was in Buckhead. So pls stop saying WAt u don't know to support the lack of wisdom of naija's political leaders. Mschewwww.

So who is to be blamed? Cos i do not get your point.
This president and his wife are just nonentities.Just because you went for an occasion and to drop some bombshells as well,do you have to cause a stand still at the detriment of other people's livelihood??They are just fools and illiterates.Even when the queen of England goes for an outing things still go on as normal so who be Dame?Awon were gbogbo so annoying people
Linda! Please don't use traffic as an excuse for your ineptitude. How can you insult the First Lady of Federal republic of Nigeria? Don't you know the chaotic nature of Lagos traffic before now or do you want to bring yourself out? That you are going somewhere should not be reason why they should allow the flow of traffic on the road the wife of President of the country is expected to pass. Why don't we have respect for our Leaders again?
How possible is it to allow this Danfo, Okada and other road users to use the same route with Her Excellency owing to the security situation of the country? Linda please mind your business and leave matter for Mathias. Stop abusing and insulting the First Lady please. Publish if you wish.
When Gov. Fashola and ACN blocked the major expressway (Western Avenue) for hours in the name of celebrating birthday for Tinubu what did you say Linda, and what did these fools and haters say?
The road at Stadium bus stop was blocked even Surulere very early in the morning knowing fully well it was peak period along the ever busy roads but nobody including you Linda blogged or see it, maybe you were eluded with something that day. Stop this notice me Linda, it may not help you.
