Smh! literally one can’t get access to his/her home during
the raining season without encountering one or two problems with the car
because of the deplorable roads………….this is Lagos city not the remote parts of
the state but the metropolitan areas.
It got me thinking, with all the taxes we pay, the toll gate
fees, when can we have that smiling face driving into our homes without
complaining of perpetual habit of going to the mechanic workshop to repair/replace a part of the car that was damaged becaused of the bad /flooded roads or having a towing van to get our cars to our
compound especially during this raining season? No doubt it will happen, but
the big question is when?

This ur real talk u've introduced to ur blog is my favourite,....u are always on point. This our road issue is frustrating,my car is barely two yrs,i bought it brand new,yet it has visited the mechanic like it was tokunbo
The worse part is d mechanics are always guessing,they dont know d real problem,apprentice claiming a studied mechanic,works on d car and compound more problems....mtcheewwwwwwwwwww! we need solution2 d roads fast abeg,hope Gov.Fashola's assistant or whoever is his right hand man conveys this message to him
Vivien,u can imagine, what our rural ares we look like if the metropolitan ares are like ds ....i say it will take Jesus coming d second time4 us to smile again, d country as a whole is in shambles
My colleagues laugh at me when i complain abt our mechanics, they say i go to side way mechanics...as if we can all afford d so called classy workshops that u pay thru ur nose to get ur car problem solved
Let me not mention names of this so called classy professional mechanic workshops who not only damaged my car that was just 8mths,brand new,it only went4 service &they messed it up,my personal item was stolen, bc d car was there for 5days,despite d high prices, the employees are rude...abeg,abeg, lets not use d word classy on ds workshops
The roads are major concern to every living soul, i tell u, do you know we spend valuable time in traffic for example i am a morning person,spending time in traffic from 7am to 8.30pm is frustrating,i know what i can produce within ds hrs without d traffic
I no fit shout, as a worker i pay personal tax, vat when i buy things,then d small buiness outside my job i do i still pay tax then we get crappy everything
I tire o! what is d govt using all d tax paid 4,where basic amenties are lacking
That's Nigeria4 u, may in d next 100yrs things might, i said might get better
Who that saying 100yrs stop being pessimistic,im hopeful, very very soon things will be better, at least we are talking and its getting to those that be, yrs back nobody cld challenge d govt, d next step is action, we are just shouting now bc we are angry, next step is dialogue which will turn things around +vely
I'm hopeful too
lagos state is trying compare to tother states
What baffles me most is the snail rate at which ds roads they say they are working on for d past months only God knows when it will be over
The road to my estate somewhere at d island was so bad that we d resident had tocontribute huge amt of money to make it motorable
So it has come to that indidviduals will now have to repair their roads,after paying4rent,spending so much 4 houseto be comfy,pay4 security and services now roads
Our roads are pathetic,the govt shld come to our aids not just d major roads that need repair
There no rewards repairing non major roads in ds country, d govt only do that they know they have large benefits
The govt is trying, we must applaud them esp d Lagos state gov.the truth of d matter is that we are over popluated, have tried visiting d port...d amt of cars that come in everyday?not to talk of each family that has more than 2 cars & ds cars have to be on d roads,so why there be traffic no matter how gd &wide d roads are
The bad roads contribute to d bad traffic if the roads are gd even if a family has 10 cars get them to d rds at same time, pple will not sleep on d roads all d name of nightmare or wake up so early to hit d road4 work...our govt shld wake up and do d honorable thing, haba! take a look at d photo on ds topic is it appalling in a city not rural areas
The worse part is some drivers driving ds cars dont know when not to speed on a flooded rd,that has a sign post not more than 40km,u find them speeding splashing dirty water on pedestrians,it once happened to me on my way to work..if that kind of person slow down when see pple like walking down to catch a bus.....
The roads, drivers and road instructors in ds country need therapy..............lol! have u realised that most places do not have signs, u when u do one way, u pay thru ur nose?
Nawo! development in ds nation is still along way,everything that has to do road instruction we are far behind...we that live close to d roads,blaring wake us up, we dont need to set alarm clock,if u live in Iyanapkaja area u'll understand what i'm talking abt
This I have to share, plz Laviv post my comment, d 1st time i travelled to America, i hadly heard d horn of cars,i had to ask my brother I went to visit how come they dont use horns,he laughed & said rarely bc they obey rd instructions
