Only once has a driver ever stopped for me to use the Zebra crossing and I'm sure that person must have lived in a sane country before. Lagos drivers no send anybody. 46 Likes 2 Shares |

It's good that there are fines for offenses but the only problem I have with this is why would the fine for an offence in a state be higher than the minimum wage? So someone who's probably driving his late dad's car while doing a minimum wage job can't drive in Lagos and buy a bag of rice in the same month ![]() 31 Likes 1 Share |

One morning at Alausa Ikeja, I and some others wanted to cross the road at the Zebra Crossing when all vehicles stoopped except one bus. In his hurry, he nearly knocked the lady beside me down. When he stopped at the traffic light ahead, I went to challenge him and his response was "are you a Zebra?". Had to report him to some Lastma guys there who quickly did the needful. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

Sometimes you realise that going to some areas in lagos in your private vehicle is not worth it. In such cases I just stick with the crazy public transport system. 8 Likes |
