I was driving today in Lagos, and was held up in traffic. In every traffic jam I find myself in, I always try to analyze the situation to get down to the root cause.
The initial slow moving traffic on Lekki-Expressway while I was driving wasn't that bad, until of course some Nigerians started forming extra lanes to bypass the slow moving traffic, that would have dissipated on its own.
So now the 3 lane road was turned into a six lane road, that is not 4, not 5, but 6 lanes.
Why are Nigerians such psychos sometimes? Why can't some people just wait and not make a bad situation worse?
I even saw a police van taking the bush path which formed the sixth lane, all I could do was SMH.
Why can't we enforce simple law and order? Even in the small things like traffic. Its not like this requires huge amounts of money for infrastructure, its just a matter of the enforcers doing their work.
