Photos: ..and here's what Ago-Okota Road looks like...

Yesterday I showed you the road that leads to Nigeria's premier port (see that here). Well, here's another road you guys need to see. This is the Ago-Okota road in Lagos. Business owners in the area say businesses have been forced to close because of the condition of the road...and residents say moving to and from their homes is a nightmare. See more photos after the cut...

    2. Just imagine such eyesore in this present time, Yet these businessmen pay their taxes, obey laws...I'm just surprised I didn't see the regular fools blaming the President for this again...Fashola is crap...he's a quack florist, a liar and a perpetual slave to Tinubu who's also an enemy of the people...Tinubu met Lasu's school fees at 250 increased it yo 25k, fashola came and skyrocketed it to over 200k,300k....yet people say he's working!

      90% of Nigerian roads look like what? Maybe 50%, but nowhere near 90%. You forget that the north has some of the best roads in the country, probably due to their drier climate.

    2. And they are busy having elections. I went through Ago some days ago in ny bid ti avoid the Mile-2 traffic. U saw the exact same thing. The water was so high, it sipped right through the upholstery in my SUV and wet my trouser. The next day, I tried Mile-2 and ended up spending seven hours on what should be a 45 minutes ride to the airport. I missed my flight to the U.S. Nigeria tire man o. It is like no government exist.

And to think that they had been carrying out repairs on the road before abandoning the project. It's all too sad and annoying.

On Sat and Sun, I had to run up to the room upstairs to sleep cos of flood as the entire ground floor was submerged despite the new landscaping. The occupants of the next building to my house have ran away cos of flood. I don't wanna believe that it is politics of tribalism. Pls, gov Fashola should do something ASAP.

  78. I hardly comment on blogs but this i can't ignore. I have lived in this area for more than 20 years and the roads are getting worse everyday.
    The most annoying fact is that half of the road was awarded to CCECC which was constructed from Okota roundabout to Century and badly terminated with no hope of completing it to Amuwo Odofin. This road is a major road linking Festac town which can take away the heavy toll from Mile-2, yet our government officials in power choose to look the other way. They continue to re-tar the highbrow areas like Ikoyi and the likes while turning Ago Palace Way to almost a slump. The streets are worse off, even the major ones that can take the traffic off Okota road? God help us all.

    ReplyDelete
  79. For some of you shouting about neglect of the road because of Igbos resident there, Is this road different from Niger street in Fegge, Onitsha or Aba township roads?
    Politicians are the same everywhere in Nigeria.
    None of them cares for you.
    Fashola's case is that he concentrates on Elite domains; Island and Ikeja, to him, other areas residents should 'go and die' apologies to his friend, Oshiomole.

    ReplyDelete
  80. These pictures are an understatement of the reality. I drove on that road today and it is TERRIBLE. It is shameful that such a road exists in Lagos. Fashola should respond timely to this issue. Cursed are every politician using Nigeria's money for personal benefits.
