This is simply foolishness - although driving RHD in Nigeria is technically illegal, people should be advised about what is best and then allowed to make up their own minds. Yes, we converted to LHD since whenever, however should one choose to drive a RHD vehicle, that should be up to them.

All that wahala about reduced visiblity when overtaking is a load of crap when you consider that a) We don't drive in any meaningfully structured way in Nigeria really, b) We overtake on both sides, c) Right-of-way seems to be a notion nobody has ever heard of and, d) The traffic officials are totally uninterested in orderly movement of vehicles on the highways.

When driving RHD in Nigeria, you should simply leave more room between you and the car in front in order to maximise your vision of the road ahead. So I say, if someone has a RHD vehicle, let them be, it's no more dangerous than getting on the road in Nigeria in the first place.

p.s. and for those Nigerians that always like foreign examples - the United Kingdom is RHD, however you can legally drive your LHD vehicle if you so choose without any harrassment whatsoever, it's entirely up to you.

I used the Marina to Apapa (Flour Mills) ferry service run by Corporate Messenger a couple of weeks ago.

Ferry is quite old, but it works.

Capacity is about 70 people.

Journey takes about 15-20 mins

Cost N100 (One Hundred Naira).

I went in the afternoon, and the ferry was about two-thirds full - apparently passenger levels dropped off since the price went up from N50 to N100.


It was very convenient, quick and cut out a lot of traffic. However - for park and ride purposes this won't work well as there isn't really any parking space at the terminals. For public mass transit - it's definitely worth it.

Took a pic of the ferry before I boarded,
