profmallory:Sycophant spotted. No in the land of sycophants and mediocrity celebrants, politicians throw little crumbs like "roundabout redesign" on the media and they shout Uhuru. We need to get our priorities right and make government accountable! Why were they voted in the first place? To be praised for roundabouts abi? 1 Like |

From experience, the size of the roundabouts is less than a quarter of the problem. More than 50% of the problem is from the wickedness and selfishness of the road users. Another 25% or so could be attributed to the inefficient and ineffective enforcement of traffic laws. If there's no enforcement, this design may still not solve the problem as you will see vehicles with sirens and police escorts join whichever lane is shorter only to get to the front and make their turns whichever way they want. It is only a matter of time before Danfos and some stupid private drivers join the madness. 2 Likes |

Christane: He does! One thing I have observed about Ambo is that he doesn't do media hyping. I once tweeted him about the bad portion of the road at Ile Zinc, Oshodi-Iyana Ipaja expressway. Lo and behold it was fixed within 48hrs. He fixed Megida-Alaja road, Megida-Aiyetoro road; all in Ayobo. I'm sure if some governors fix just 2KM road, the whole media must hear am. One thing Ambo has shown is that; Infrastructure needs not be a source of media propaganda. I know my in-laws' governor would have assaulted us with media 'efisy' if they do a quarter of what he's doing. Anyway, they are known to chest beat on even the tiniest advantage. 5 Likes |

Leave the roundabout alone before you damage the road. There are places in Lagos without roads. When Ambode leaves office the next Governor would want to build an underground pedestrian crossing on that spot too. |

Oildichotomy:are you a Nigerian, or have you ever lived in Nigeria? every society has its peculiarities. people like you often use America or Britain as a parameter in all your judgements. Nigeria neither America nor Britain. several governors have come and gone since 1999 without doing anything tangible, in stead, looted their respective states and heavens didn't fall. therefore, when you see a semblance of performance from any of them, nothing wrong in appreciating such. it doesn't make you less sophisticated or a sycophant. 1 Like |

This design is adding salt to injury. This is an outdated design. The best solution is to construct grade-separated intersection(over head bridge). That way through traffic will not be delay. 2 Likes |

COMPAQ:God Bless you... The best response so far for anyone who really studied the video and has observed the situation on ground This proposed idea wont still work or improve the situation in anyway. A quick study of that video on the 5th Roundabout would show you anyone from the Lekki - epe expressway willing to take a left turn toward the road / street beside the new Stoprite mall can practically make no turn at all 3 Likes |

It is pure wickedness for federal Govt not to grant Lagos special status. Even to maintain the abandoned federal structures therein is a huge task. Thank God for digital leadership experience that is making things to work in Lagos. God bless the Governor. |

ogunsj:This long epistle just to justify roundabout redesign. My grouse is with this project please. What will it really take to clear the large circle there that the people will start praising Ambode for, not that he is constructing a new road or anything. No need praising a Governor in this instance unless we are just some politically hypnotised hallelujah boys 1 Like |

Yes we accept, you must accept who you are first before you can aspire for greatness, rather having our heads in the cloud like you. And for your shout of performance according to global standards I wont be surprised if your own family members wont vote for you if you contest for an elective post. Very easy to condemn when you dont have the slightest clue of the challenges of leadership. Oildichotomy: |

Good Point! I don't know why it's difficult for some people to reason properly. A redesigned junction has become a jingle for scoring cheap political points. The electorates/citizens will never learn! Oildichotomy: 2 Likes |

These solutions will not work as long as vehicles have to cross oncoming lane. The arrangement just before and after second toll gate is better. 2 Likes |

LOL, Yes I accept my naivity. You come out from your shell and lead, then we the not so brave ones will follow you. Mind you History is written by the not so brave ones, after the brave ones like you (or na for internet you brave) might have been made a lesson of. While I get you fully well, what I would rather you do is lead by example, if you cant then please join the rest of us in praising our mediocre Leadership. Oildichotomy: |

arsenal33: This is the only solution. Anything else is a waste of time. Without flyovers, the gridlock at those junctions during rush hour will always be hell. Common sense is not common. They were told when LCC was busy wasting money expanding the roundabouts. They have been told again. In 4 years time, they will make another useless allocation to "fix" the congestion. |

humilitypays: Your head is there. Ori e kpe juh. Your papa and mama will not be disappointed. Money well spent on you. Don't mind all the people making noise. Isn't the economy of Lagos, like the 5th or 6th biggest in Africa or sonething like that. Any Governor of Lagos that does not perform would have to be a retard based on the amount of resources and revenue available. 1 Like 1 Share |
