Thats what happens when one person owns 15 - 20 cars. First thing a newly rich man does in naija is buy 2-3 cars.
When they build house, they'll buy another car to do house warming ceremony cheesy grin cheesy

solution: more ppl should use public transport

In my own candid opinion, we should be self disciplined on the road. Let us learn how to wait for our turn when there is traffic jam.

Movement of all vehicles can be regulated by using their registration numbers like it once happened before. Cars with registration numbers that end with an even number can be allowed to move on the roads on some specific days. The same goes for those that end with odd numbers.

By this, half of the total number of cars walking on our roads will actually be seen on the roads everyday, and this will reduce the heavy traffic on our roads.

However the only condition for this idea to work efficiently is dat gov. provides surplus and high standard commutter busses and ferries. Our cities will become great to live in then.

Okokorunna thank you.

Simply expand our roads to 5-lanes on either sides, the roads we have today were projected for our population of the 1960s/1970s, Now that we have grown in size isnt it sensibly right that our roads also to grow in expansion to handle the kind of population we now have in the 21st century??, The number of people without cars in lagos tripple those who have cars in Lagos. In any case even if it was one man one car, the traffic jam on our roads will be worst than what we have today.
Fashola understands this, may his name be written in GOLD when he lives office for the numerous initiative taken, which the past governors of the state couldnt initiate.

What if i told you that I could get you to Ijebu Ife from Lekki in less than 30 minutes no matter how traffic is. What if i told you that I could get you to Ikire in Oshun State in less than 45 minutes from Lekki. What if I told you that I can get you right below Abeokuta in Less than 1 hour from Unilag in less than an 1-1/2 hour, no matter what the traffic situation is. Will you believe me? Lagos is very endowed, but we fail to plan and use it's resources. If Lagos State government will work with me, I have a plan complete with Satellite presentations.

Since Lagos is surrounded by water to a large extent, I think it's time d transport sector explore the inland water ways transportation system. Btw which is cheaper to implement, the rail system or the water transport system?
