YOU ARE NOT WELCOME TO LAGOS

If you have not heard, then hear it now:

Gov. Fashola of Lagos State

Third Mainland Bridge

Information coming from the Lagos state government is that the Third Mainland Bridge is going to be closed between Sunday, first of July and Tuesday, sixth of November 2012!

 

Reason?          

OVERHAULING! 

For 4 MONTHS!

I don’t have any qualms with the proposed overhauling.  But this is my concern:

Traffic in Lagos

Traffic in Lagos

If you live and work in Lagos and you think you have experienced heavy traffic in Lagos, then I advise you prepare for the “mother” of all heavy traffic situation ever experienced in Lagos or anywhere else for that matter.  I even want to place a bet that we are going to have "record breaking" traffic within this period.  Someone needs to alert the Guinness Book of Records. 

The Third Mainland Bridge is the major link between Victoria Island and its adjourning axis to the mainland through to Yaba, Oshodi, Ikorodu Road and beyond. 

I wish there was some other way of  doing this.  I wish I could find a lamp with a genie that would give me just one wish, just one, for this is not the time to be greedy! 

And because wishes are not horses, If you have plans of coming to do business in Lagos this proposed period…

PLEAAAAAAAAAAAASE!

YOU ARE NOT WELCOME TO LAGOS!
