This is the federal road that leads to the port that generates billions of Naira
on a yearly basis. This is the road to Apapa Road from Coconut Bus-stop through Tincan Island. It swallows trailer tyres and even causes containers to fall. Motorists say a journey that shouldn't take up to 5 minutes sometimes takes up to one hour. And this road has been like this for years. See more photos after the cut...

Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
And you say Fashola is 'working?'

* My R1.50c comment *

Reno Omkri is just a pathological liar, check some of the pics the guy posted when he doing his so called before and during GEJ, he put this same road and claimed the government has fixed it
De government is doing noting. No hope 4 dis country. I need 2 leave 4 good. I'm out ***CATCH ME IF U CAN***
Linda may God reward u abundantly....
Which way Naija???????????????????????????? chidinma_ndukwe@yahoo.com
Kai! very bad.
Hello Linda, if you have a link to send this to Federal ministry of transports, or any para status, send this across to them for them to see. It's not meant for us to comment
Linda yes d road is so bad!u need 2 see hw many lives av bin lost due to dis bad roads cos is my regular root.later they will say jona is performing!Federal road 4 dat matters!Too bad.
thanks linda for bring this to our attention....i hope Reno is looking........
alex25emperor@yahoo.com
this road is an eyesore...it has been like this for years and to think its a federal road hmmm
The problem in Nigeria is that the government are not doing enough to make Nigeria a better place for all and for global investors to come and invest Nigeria. the cannot provide good roads and steady electricity. how can a very important road like this one will be in that very bad state. this is so sad beyond believe. i hope Nigerian politicians are seeing this post.
Hmmmm! Welcome to Nigeria my country!
Linda this is no exaggeration,u can even spend more self,Apapa road is d road with the highest traffic that I know of here in gidi so far followed by ketu-ikorodu road,though i learnt there is construction on going which i believe would ease mvt after completion.....It sucks what traffic can cause due to bad roads couple with flood here in lagos.Imagine i left my area around magodo,shangisha 7am this morning for my office on lagos island and i got to the office some minutes to 11am...its so so fraustrating.i nearly slept off on the wheels..The govt(federal n state) should pls do something about our roads and flood in lagos state...
What do u expect from a corrupt government..
Am speechless
Lwkmd, this is crazy! look @ cargoes on d ground sef! This shouldn't be called premier port road, it should be called "relegated port road."

LOL. Nigeria is a jungle full of monkeys #gay anonymous#
More than one hour ke? Linda, we spend more than 4hrs on tha road at times. Apapa road is an abandoned project, apart from the fact that it takes time,it also take lives. A lot of accident and robbery occur on that road,i don't know if the government doesn't know about it.
The Stupid Government should privatize those roads and putt a toll gate there .. I live abroad and most of the roads here that are plied by heavy duty vehicles transporting goods pay as much as 5 to 7k of Naira Equivalence per exit and entry and the roads are thoroughly maintained . Naija should take a clue and grow up .. Naija is my country but sometimes I just hate the way things are being handled . I grew up knowing that power outage is a norm. I hope things change !
Naija for us.....I weep for my country
Naija for us.....I weep for my country

Where is Reno Omokri?
#BeforeAndDuringGEJ. They'll never show us this one, just like they refused to show how the President watched our match against Argentina and France.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
and just recently mr Reno was out counting his oga "success" hope he sees this. this is a port that make billions for the country on daily basis tell me what it would cost the federal govt to put this road to order and other numerous roads like this or even worst than this
Na today?! These pictures are just evidence of what we already know; the rotten state of our beloved country. A port which brings in millions and ships of more is in this state, imagine what the seaport authority would be like? Imagine the level of decay in our government! It is a scary thought.
it is so devastating I'll rather watch BBA and catch a headache than talk about how the nigerian governments failed the people.
God bless Nigeria
This is very very bad!!!
Lagos has the worst roads in Nigeria, with respect to it's usage!!!!
There is no excuse for this road to be this bad, it is a big disgrace to the people that are responsible for making sure the Roads are in good shape.
Linda you need to see what Ago Palace way road looks like
it feel like mess!!!
Ka
WELL DONE LINDA!

The northerner's av infected parts of d southrerners with an ample amount of corruption is gradually eating the nation,Unless a revolution happens nothing will be done, Worse off there is no credible newspaper house in Nigeria,Don't forget almost all d newspaper houses n television n radio stations r owned by these so called hausa-fulani oligarchy.
Bad country! E no concern them na, na to come out for 2nd tenure dem sabi. Makkybarbie@gmail.com
THIS IS REALLY WORST THAN BOKO HARAM. WHY SHOULD OUR
GOVERNMENT CONTINUE TO PLAY POLITIES AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR LIVES. PLS GOVERNMENT SHOULD HASTILY PROFFER SOLUTION TO THE "BOKO" THEY SEE BEFORE THE FACELESS "BOKO".

Seriously something needs to be done about this road, especially now that its raining. U need to see hold up & t.fare has increased coz of d bad road
They will not repair the road unless they can put a toll gate on it. B*ST*RDS!

shame on Nigerian government
NAWAOOOOO
adanice08@yahoo.com
This is bad.
No Future in nija...
Once there is raining,Lagos is not friendly
Dats bad... Somtin shuld b done abt d road as a mata of urgency
Hope at last! Wish more blogs will put this up. The effect of the bad road has caused frequent robberies in traffic between coconut and Tincan 2nd Gate. Good Job Linda!
Yes this road has been like this for many years... federal government is not doing anything about it and state government is claiming the road belongs to federal... The problem is there is no even time to fix that road.. Day and Night trailers are moving on that road so maybe the Government is confused how to fix it or maybe they just don't care..
tnx Linda, dat Apapa road from Mile 2 is a nightmare
I watched a robbery take place in traffic last week Wednesday, due to the bad road. It has become a daily occurrence. Good Job Linda
A deplorable sight. the road has deteriorated to the level where it needs urgent maintenance pending when it will be awarded to contractors. the government generate huge tax from here so why can't it be put to use. what an eyesaw. #PICCANTO#
Dats real bad tho..not as if d federal govt. aint doing much on road construction.
Chineke!!!
That's Naija for u... Linda na today u know the type of country u dey... Suffering and smiling
Some of dis pictures go good for post cards. The photographer did a good job.
That's Naija for u... Linda na today u know the type of country u dey... Suffering and smiling
God help
Pathetic, send it to Reuben abati
Pathetic
this road is coursing so much problems,the funny part is that no body seems to want to do anything about it. not the state or federal government,this same road like linda said generates millions even billions for the government.from mile2 to second gate na fite each day.dis, dis functional country of ours.
hi linda thanks for the good work you are doing. i work in apapa and coming to work or leaving work is a nightmare. the road from surulere into apapa is also "unmotorable"you will need to go thru national theatre to link apapa or go through eko bridge as though you are going to the island and then branch off towards apapa to be able to get to work in good time.
Dead road, dead government.
And we av a govt in this country
Pity. shaddy_rahaman@yahoo.com
FUCKED UP AND MOST CORRUPT COUNTRY!!! STAGNANT ON SAME POSITION SINCE THE 60'S BCOS OF BAD LEADERS!!! SMH
Incredible!! Good Luck And Those In charge, do something ASAP.. Thanks Linda..

Linda come Eleme mke u fear road this 1 is learning now. Then go to iwo fe area in ph too n see. The Iwo is a state road so I wonder wat Ameachi's excuse will be.
if they like let them do d road after all no my papa road na them sabi
And yet our leaders keep calm about this.. This ιƨ pure wickedness to man kind. Very disheartening.
Our govt is a disgrace and a disappointment to their citizens people get
Stocked in this god forsaken road for hours
Everyday may GOD help us cos we hv no leaders....kimzenasa
And they say we have a government. This country has no leader and it is very unfortunate
God bless you,Linda.
been long and not one news agency reported the issue and am amazed...
That road is a nightmare, a freaking horror movie.
Na waoh, odikwa very risky.
This is not good. There are certain things as a country we should be ashame of.
I worked in a bank on this road for 2years,2008 to 2010 precisely and It was horrible during rainy seasons. I am surprised the government left this project up till this day. Na wah for Niger
God bless you linda, Apapa road is a no go area,except you want to spend the whole day on the road, unfortunately no better alternative route. Nigeria is cursed cos i dont know ow else. to define a country so rich yet so poor.... yet they say we are the happiest. people in the world. Go to d street, the average nigerian is angry, fustrated depressd.... its sad, really sad.
Welcome to nigeria baby, where sm fools post pictures of road dat hasn't been completed yet...
too bad
BORN TO SHINE!!!!

@Reno O'mockery'I hope you are seeing this
There u go again, olodo. Did u read "Federal Road" in the report? Do u know what that means?
What a country.
Goat how many years will it take u to complete dat road? Can swear u r somehow responsible for fixing dat road. bet u've emvezzled d funds, ur type shld be locked up in a dungeon for d rest of ur useless life
Hand wil touch it. Pretex4luv@yahoo.com
This used to be my route to work about two years ago. The roads are TERRIBLE!During the rainy season it can take up to 4 hrs for a journey of 45 minutes. It's a shame
Good work, Linda. This is the kind of story people need to read.
Nigeria has a long way to go
it is where i pass everyday, the road is hell now, the fools at the top are nt seein it ooooo! Fools.
It is wellooooooooo
nonsense
Stop being ignorant. That road is a federal road meant to be fixed by the federal govt and not Fashola.
Angie Cape, its a federal road. This means that its the responsibility of the federal government and not the state govt. I am not suggesting that Fashola is perfect but dont lay the blame for this one at his doorstep.
Abu o. Jonathan til 2080 when all of the foolish Nigerians die of suffering. 200million minus.
You are the fool here because that road is realy bad,
Shout your mount, if you don't have better words to say. Who told you dey are fake pixs, they are for real. Instead of making coment that will make the government to do something, you are running your mount

I PLEDGE TO NIGERIA MY COUNTRY, TO BE FAITHFUL LOYAL AND HONEST!

He's saying the fact,this reality on the ground not reno's imagination and hallucination,let truth be told
Glory why are u so piss,Hadiza is saying d truth
@ glory you are insulting someone and you can't even spell, later you will say chai diaris God o....I'm sure reno omokri is your uncle
really dont know why ILLITERATES are calling on Fashola for cry out loud are you peeps blind? cant u read FEDERAL ROAD? btw where the hell is RENO OMOKRI??? shey u wont talk about this buh na fake senseless pics dat u'll be tweeting about.....
Pardon my ignorance; I'm used to Provinces and municipalities. I thought the Gov reports to the fed on what's to be done/fixed in his state if he really cares...
the giant of Africa indeed.
My fear is that our government is turning to Fascism, where even the next election after the swearing in of a new regime is given more priority than the people.
THERE ARE 2 ROADS LEADING INTO NIGERIAS PREMIER PORTS. THE APAPA-OSHODI AND IJORA LINK BRIDGE -COMING FROM WESTERN AVE. Both roads are death traps. none of these roads have ever had a working street light so when these trailers fall at night, other vehicles cant see them and of course we no the result of that. GROWING UP IN APAPA, I SAW A LOT OF ACCIDENTS ON THESE ROADS AND LOST A LOT OF FRIENDS..RIP
WHAT I CANNOT COMPREHEND TO DATE IS WHY THE PREMIER PORTS (SEA AND AIR) IN THE COMMERCIAL HUB OF WEST AFRICA (LAGOS) ARE IN SUCH A DEPLORABLE SHAPE.
EVERYTHING FROM THE NEEDLE WE USE TO THE BUILDING MATERIALS TO THE CLOTHS WE AEAR COME FROM THESE PORTS BUT YET THESE ROADS HAVE BEEN SHOWN NO MERCY OR RESPECT BY THE FG.
THE SAME BUILDING MATERIALS AND CARS YOU USE IN ASO ROCK AND THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY COME FROM HERE SO PLS PLS HON MIKE AND CO. ADDRESS THIS SITUATION.
DUBAI, SINGAPORE AND GERMANY USE RAIL AND PIPELINES TO COMPLEMENT THEIR TRUCKS BUT YET THEY HAVE 4 LANES IN AND OUT OF THEIR PORTS. WE DONT HAVE RAIL AND PIPELINES TRANSPORTING WET AND DRY CARGO OUT SO WE RELY SOLEY ON TRUCKS, SO WHY THEN DO YOU GUYS THERE THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE SINGLE CARRIAGE WAYS PLAGUED WITH BIG HOLES AND NO STREET LIGHTS THEREBY RISKING THE LIVES OF YOUR CITIZENS.
I MADE A COMMENT HERE ABOUT APAPA ROADS THE LAST TIME THE HON MIKE POSTED PICS OF SOME GOOD ROADS AND HE DIDNT REPLY OFCOS I WASNT EXPECTING.
I DONT CARE WAT ANYONE SAYS BUT NIGERIA IS SUFFERING AS A RESULY OF MANY. IT TOOK MY INTERNET FOREVER TO LOAD..JUST TO COMMENT. MY PHONE NETWORKS ARE BAD, DSTV DONT WORK, CARS ARE DAMAGED BY THE ROADS, HOSPITALS HAVE RATS, POLICE WEAR RAGS AND DRIVE BANGERS OOOPS THEY JUST TOOK LIGH..
Am eager to express my utmost grieve as to the hardship we put ourselves and our fellow ordinary citizens of this great country through year in, year out. Shall we continue in this inhuman, selfish and dastardly activities when all we need is a little change? Believe it or not the solution to our sufferings in Nigeria lies in our own hands. It is high time we realize this fact. If every man and woman in this country can effect a change in all that we do, including how and who we vote to carry public responsibilities. Change will happen.
Let us quit blaming our leaders and aim at effecting a change by not selling our votes in the coming dispensation. May God help us.
Hadiza plz be sure b4 u speak! Dat road is as real as d pic up thr, cos I know & tk d route very well.
olodo..itz fedral road nt state
Yes. I have more pictures linda. I ll mail them to you. I work at Tincan Island. Been plying that route since Jan 2013 to date. Mile 2-Tincan-wharf is just a mess, a death trap. A journey of about 9mins from mile2 will take you well over 1hr.
No parks for tankers, Commercial buses drive against traffic and charge ridiculous amount
The Nigerian Govt is very wicked and insensitive. May God punish intensely whoever was awardes that project and refused to finish ( that is if it has ever been awarded). Containers FALL daily, tankers tip over every other day. I dont even know what to say.
The most revenue that they all sit and share in abuja comes from these region, what will it take to fix these roads. Yet people pay tax every day and get nothing in return. May God punish thrm all.
And you wonder where the 71% roads are that they government is claiming are now in good condition. Maybe Benin-Ore road I 71% of all the roads in Nigeria since that is the only road have seen the government completed in recent years.
INSTEAD OF BROODING ON THE BAD INFASTRUCTURES, WHY CAN WE PROFER A WAR FORWARD.... IF YHU ASK ME I WOULDNT BLAME THE GOVERNMENT, I WOULD BLAME US CIVILIANS THAT OUT THEM THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE....
