Road Construction Of Lagos-ikorodu Expressway- Vehicles Or Flowers by jaz(m): 8:52pm On Oct 14, 2014 |
Now i dont mean to undermine the good work and intentions of Gov. Fashola however i simply dont understand the purpose of the road being constructed along lagos-ikorodu road, whether its for flowers or for vehicle. Traffic there has been terrible before the construction and during the construction with only the hope of a free 6 lane road to speed through keeping people going but now that idea is lost cos the roads are so narrow. people new to the area keep thinking its a single lane rather than 2. if ur unlucky to have a tipper in front of you then u need to follow it till the road widens again and overtake before it closes back. yet spaces for flowers can accomodate another 2 lanes. just wonder what this is all about, road or flowering campaign. pardon my punctuations, tired and angry. |

Op, have you seen the design prototype? Something of that magnitude must have undergone professional scrutiny before approval. Especially in Lagos State. PS, I stand to be corrected tho |

yousee: Did you ply through that road? Too many death traps and sharp bends without any indicators or reflectors. Accidents occur along that road everyday. This is a fact cos I ply tru that road day and night 1 Like |

nenergy: dnt know how come a freeway is now meant for flowering. you can have an entire forest or plantation on those allocated spaces. its so irrational. |

Frankly,the "IROKO or MAHOGANY " section is too big. It need to be reduced to make the one for vehicles bigger. |

Am an Ikorodu resident and I stand to be corrected.That road has made histrory has one d worst roads designed in d world for its ability of hosting 'good' dead trap,flower lanes instea of car lanes, wrong positioned over head bridges etc. We residends of ikorodu are really suffering and don't see any hope of coming out of this mess even when d project is completed.

Instead of having straightforward 3 lanes on either sides we have 1 and half lanes wit narrow bends sharp corners and death traps all over the place. I really can't count the numberif aaccidents on that road in the last 3 months 1 Like |

I cannot reserve my comments on this issue..... It is frustrating for the residents of Ikorodu...... The idea behind dat road clearly shows d deliberate intention to get car owners to park their cars and patronize the BRT..... The road contruction was suppose to see to the ease of traffic on the Ikorodu road not to beautify it... Its really annoying. |

jaz: You are very correct. If you become so unlucky and you are caught behind a dead Tata Bus/Lorry, you have to wait till the big bus/lorry is taken out of the road before you can move. Meanwhile, you would see a vast land beside you, enough to take two cars being built for flower. Oga Fashola, this plan is totally wrong. You got this one wrong this time. You have to do something about the road. |

@ Op, the road is being built for flowers not humans. It is a shame that these people do not really understand the ordeal Ikorodu residents are going through. We spend an average of 1hr 30 mins for a journey of <15 mins. The inner roads of Ikorodu are not there and they would start talking about projects they have done in Ikorodu. The only Project i see in Ikorodu is incremental punishment for the residents. I have resorted to squatting at friends place during the week and going back home on Saturdays, and i can tell you that a lot of people in Ikorodu do the same week in week out, because of traffic. People living in Ikorodu leave their houses as early as 3:30 a.m and still meet traffic on this route. Lagos State Government should look into the sufferings of the Ikorodu residents ASAP.

diportivo: My brother, it's good to be a landlord in Lagos but not in places like Ikorodu ![]() Inner streets in Ikorodu is nothing to write home about. My Lexus has been parked for more than 3months now due to bad road. The Bridges were wrongly positioned especially the one inward ikorodu before NNPC filling Station. There are no houses or coys on both sides of the road where this particular bridge is placed and the nearest is ogolonto which is quite a distance to where the bridge is positioned. We should have been told they want to collect toll like Lekki so they can construct a good road. It's so sad that as a Lagosian,I can't choose to live in any local govt of my choice as I'm seriously considering moving back to the island. It's soo sad As for Senator Adesewe Ogunlewe, I taught Yoruba people said if you are given a hoe to cultivate a land,you will cultivate to your side first but reverse is the case for this old man. I plied through sabo to itokin road(cant remember the name of that road) down to Epe during his tenure and I felt sorry for myself. That man's story isn't for Today, till some other time 2 Likes |

its so irritating that they play so much politics with everything even our dear lives. whats the value of a nigerian's life in this country and outside ? i have always had regards for Fashola but on this one, i cant believe that with all his degrees and honours and learnedness, he cant see through this. and then they will say we shouldnt use our horns. na until BRT or molue or tipper crush me and my car to the pavement of the lean roads. i tire for this matta |

This is the longest pedestrian bridge i'v ever come across(agric inward ragolis) ![]() It's always an issue for commuters anytime an accident or trailer brokedown along this road. I wish and really wish something can be done to eradicate the suffering of ikorodu residence.

people really need to speak up.just dont know what more can be done cos the road is almost complete which means people living there are condemned to manage it for generations to come. i surely will be moving out! |

calculusx:what i heard this morning is that there were plans of actually tolling two lanes each inward and outward but that the late oba resisted the plan...how true that is,i cant say...but theres no smoke without fire....especially in dis our obodo naija...the road towards epe is the ikorodu-ijebu ode road...i can say that its miles better than the ikorodu-sagamu road..if u pass that one,u wont only weep,u will shed blood for tears.. |

If you speak the truth about the poor planning of this road construction and the people that brought out such ideas they'll say you are against SOMEONE at the top or against a political party but the truth remains that they got the planning wrong.....its either the road is meant to accommodate BRT lanes or to beautify the road with flowers or both while neglecting the other users of the road, sometimes I'm just confused about the road and how it is set out.....talking about this road can take about 1000pages |

diportivo: Why do we blacks find it difficult to do the right thing? Ikorodu-Sagamu is another death trap all the way from Odongunyan- Ita-Oliwo to Ogijo and Likosi. I guess that road should have been better re-rehabilitated by now . And to think of it, former Minister of works came from this axis. Is it that he doesn't use these roads or what? I'm sure he go don port out of Ikorodu |
Re: Road Construction Of Lagos-ikorodu Expressway- Vehicles Or Flowers by PenSniper: 11:09pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
Its highly disappointing that Fashola wasted billions of naira just to add to the nightmare of users of that road. It is a classic case of ineptitude par excellence. The newly constructed bridges cannot accommodate two vehicles simultaneously unlike the old ones. Much consideration was given to flowers than human convenience. The entire project defiles logic. Contrary to widespread misguided notion of Fashola being good for president, i've always held the notion that deepdown, he is not. A mere proper resurfacing of the old road coupled with adequate traffic control would've served the people better than this whitewash. 1 Like |

This simply shows the downward thinking trend of our leaders, why would they make it a 2 lane road considering the thousand of cars plying the road on daily basis, it's a highway and not an avenue or link road. |
