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...
..and it doesn't looks better to me.

Iyana ejigbo is even worse n dey r all on d same axis. Linda u suppose snap dat one too. Fashola is workin but d local govt chairmen r not
DeleteJust 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!

ReplyDeleteIts a pity,this is 2014 and we're still talking about roads.
ReplyDeleteIts quite shameful with the enormous resources we have,this is what many of our roads look like.

Delete90% of Nigerian roads look like that, I have always said it that we don't have a government, because you can't actually point at one thing they are getting right, no visible achievement
ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval
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.
DeleteAnd 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.
Delete@jj, that traffic at mile 2 on monday was hell fire on earth. I was at alakija by 6 in the morning and didnt get to first gate till 1:30 in the afternoon.i had to go back home after almost wastying the whjole day in traffic

ReplyDeleteShut up this gay boy. Who is your father ?
DeleteGodwin, which Festac road is like this? Which part of Festac as of now? We had bad roads here in Festac, but almost all have been done, especially 22road. Now 22rd is very motorable. Other parts are ok too, except for a few. So Godwin shut up, we dnt have any flooded road like this in Festac, except u mean Festac extension (Eko Akete).
DeleteGay Lord. I hate you. So shut up and go feed well..
DeleteHahahaha, Gay Lord. Why are they attacking u, wat hv u done again? U dis boy. Beta learn oo
DeleteMay God forgive you two anons. What the hell is wrong with you guys? You just feel you can talk to people anyhow. You that is asking who is father is, who is your own father? It shows you are from a disorganised home. No home training. You ain't better than he is and he has every fucking right to make his comments.
DeleteAnd you anon 11:54am Why are you siding him? Or are you a gay too? Useless gays on this blog.
DeleteOnyxx is here making sense. And some idiots and pretenders are here making dumb comments. What is d link between his personality and the sensible comment he has made. Go mile 2 and environs and see what what ppl go thru due to bad roads. Some ppl on this blog deserve 20 strokes of koboko daily and manual brain reset with slaps.Onyxx don't mind d talentless haters

Deletethis is one place I wonder what the LG is doing. I detest going to ago, its horrible.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Linda you are so right. I just packed out from Ago Sept. last year to Surulere because of the bad road, I suffered a lot there, I always have rain-boot with me. Pls Lagos state govt. should do somethg abt it, igbo people are suffering and smiling ther.

DeleteLinda if you must know there is no government in oshodi isolo LGA,you need to see the linking roads like Ali Dada,Taiwo, Enoma,and the worst of it all is the Policemen who lay in wait to extort money from motorist Claiming ''ONE WAY'', For using the only short good route,Send your team to investigate this act always happening at Ali Dada/Tarred road turn everyday 5-6am
ReplyDeleteWhat is LASG doing about this axis>>>>>>Tell your landlords to withdraw their case in court before we can construct this road...Gov Fashola. And they are the govt of the people...how sad.
ReplyDeleteSee the issue here is that the Landlord are taking Lagos State Government to court for expansion (you get what l mean). BRF went there and told, so what do they want, they should settle themselves jare.

Bad government,dis government tire mi i swear
ReplyDeleteLindiway dis photo no do justice to dat place at all. I can authoritatively tell U dat d road is way worse than what U put up here, as dat is my area. Infact I think government has also given up on dat road. Na only commercial vehicles dey ply there now as no sane person would want to risk putting his/her car in dat ocean & U know how our drivers & conductors are when one depends on them.
ReplyDeleteExactly!! The pictures the capture the exact state of the road. My friend and I spent 3hours there yesterday just to boycott the traffic at mile2... It was a terrible experience. Fashola is good at maintaining roads u see n use every day with a big signpost lagos govt... God help those of guys living up there. @SHB
Deleted road is even worst compare to what u are seeing here.
ReplyDeletelinda, u are showing the better parts of the road, further down, closer to the Ap station is worse, na express be this pix compared to there

Linda, you think this is bad. Try and check out Ejigbo road. You go run down
ReplyDeleteHorrible as always. No one knows what to expect from the government anymore. Linda, you should also check out Iyana Ejigbo - Ile Epo - Cele Egbe axis, there are pits on every part of the road. And to think that they had been carrying out repairs on the road before abandoning the project. It's all too sad and annoying.

DeleteLagos govt only taking care of roads on island while most roads on mainland are bad....they only patches roads on mainland,it's of recent they are shifting their attention to mainland,the same thing with electricity
ReplyDeleteAPC for show! Na their way.
DeleteTurn by turn. At least they are doing something
DeleteThis lagos gov likes to discreminate,is because igbos lives plenty here in ago okota road that is why they refuse to pay attention to that side very horrible i must say smh
ReplyDeleteIf they discriminate, go back to your village. Stop the nonsense tribal talks. Do you pay taxes? Fix yourself first. Be the solution and not the problem.
DeleteLagos roads are very bad especially with the to much rain. Go to Idiaraba and snap there too Linda.
ReplyDeleteSommy said so....
Fashola is the best Governor, if I hear! He is working.. Eko oni baje ooooo
ReplyDeleteThis is what I suffer there everyday. Is it because the environment is covered with Igbos that the state govt has refused to do something? 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.
ReplyDeletePlease snap out of your archaic tribalistic mentality. Road is bad period. Doesn't matter the tribe there, the road needs to be fixed. Corruption has no tribe. Wake up and stop the self pity.
DeleteWhom do we turn to as a people???????? Government to fix the roads or God to stop the rain in some areas??????? Smh

Nigerians are still calling God in 2014? Countries that were less developed than Nigeria in the 80s are now more developed, despite not being as rich as Nigeria. Nigerians need a revolution, PERIOD. Keep calling God and the country will NEVER change.

ReplyDeletethis route has made movement to Festac journey to hell i cant meet up with clients on time due to the bad road i wonder what the government is doing they made half of the road and left the rest unfinished stupid governance is what i call this dxl5000@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteLindodo, you have to see the road at Ikotun. Forget all these noise by APC about what they've achieved.
ReplyDeletei am presently experiencing water issues in ago okota too, imagine water coming out from the ground inside my room.. i have b having issues wit my room and cnt even go home now to sleep cuz dere's is water inside..and no drinage in ago and canals dere r blockd..now am tryn to get anoda hus sumwh...bt is difficuit and prices now r too high..am so confusd..wat ll i do? pls hlp.email:joycebabe4real2006@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
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?
ReplyDeletePoliticians 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.
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.
ReplyDeleteYOUR PIX DO NOT SHOW THE POSITION OF THE ROAD, ITS 'BADDER AND WORSTER' THAN THAT , YOU DONTY GET TO SEE CAR TYRES AND SALOON CARS PASSING THERE WONT LAST 3 TRIPS BEFORE ITR COST THE OWNERS HUGE COST OF REPAIRS. ITS A DEAD ZONE
ReplyDeleteThis is bad
ReplyDeleteFG do something
BORN TO SHINE!!
Hold! Is this lagos? I thought the governor said he had all these under control???
ReplyDeleteago people dont mind, their jeep and SUVs will pass the road.... Whether fashola does it or not, it wont stop ago for being ago... It has always been a place with bad road, cause the hood is filled with igbo people and the governor dont care.... My home
ReplyDeleteSad country sad government.Nigerians are either the most patient citizens in the world or the biggest cowards!
ReplyDeleteCome to Ikorodu (Agric, igbogbo, Offin, Oreyo, solomade etc) and see what they call bad road. Fashols only makes good roads better, he doesn't nothing about d really bad roads.
