Lagos state has given potholes a new definition!
To explain the deadly nature of these potholes, PM News went across some parts of Lagos to capture some of the baddest potholes:
-Picture 1- This is Ilasamaja road in Lagos State. Vehicles struggle to use the only good patch on this road but even the supposed good path is not good.
-Picture 2-Welcome to Isolo road in Mushin area of Lagos characterised by rather large potholes
Picture 3-Thanks to this blocked drainage, motorist have a hellish time on this road in Ilasamaja. Residents should also take the blame for this.
Picture 4-The story is no different at Iyana Isolo, also in Lagos State.
Picture 5-Oshodi in Lagos is popular for its commercial activities but potholes like this can mar its potential
Picture 6-Apapa is widely dreaded by residents and travellers mainly because of the traffic. Along Wharf road in Apapa, the road is very bad.
Picture 7-Hassan bus stop, Sadiku is not inviting at all, for very obvious reasons.
Picture 8-Oshodi Isale like Sadiku is an eyesore.
even the roads they collect tolls from everyday has potholes
ReplyDeleteE don tey wey yansh don dey for back. Next pls.
DeleteYou should actually refer these roads to Buhari since there's no minister in charge yet. Most of them are federal roads. So are you saying all these roads went bad immediately Fashola left?
DeleteSame everywhere, Agbado-crossing to Ishaga road in Ifo LGA of Ogun State is worst than all these.
ReplyDeleteOlunde-Ayegun road in Oluyole LGA in Ibadan, Oyo State is nothing to write about, worst road I've ever seen in my life.
Nigeria, so many things is wrong jare.
*Larry was here*
Govt should please do something about these.. Gbagada area ifako precisely needs to be worked on..
DeleteAmbode,what arr you still waiting for
ReplyDeleteAmbo oooo
DeleteAmbo oooo
He us still coming
*r me*
*is*
DeleteHunMmm oga ooooo. Eko oni baje.
ReplyDeleteHummmm
ReplyDeletePot holes, pot holes, pot holes.... you just have to choose the one you enter.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you can't choose. When there's terrible traffic and everywhere is blocked, and right there in front of you is a big ditch, where will you manoeuvre to? So annoying.
DeleteYou right Bloggie..
DeleteToo bad...
ReplyDeleteAnd Ambode is busy threatening owners of all the uncompleted buildings in Lagos to come and complete their houses or face the law!!
Not saying it's a bad idea oo, but i believe these bad roads are important as well and should all be taken care of immediately !!!
If it's true, it's a bad idea. What's his business if they aren't completing yet. What if they can't afford to yet. Is he mad? Will he give dem d money?
DeleteWhat nonsense am I reading sef.
Njideka I'm sure som1 'll ask
DeleteUr father d same question.
Som1 needs 2 question ur papa's insanity too.
For bearing a useless mofo lik u.
Stella. Tnx

Hey u!!
DeleteWhere have u been babes?
Niice having u back!
Welcome back, abeg nor fuck up again. I missed you
DeleteOh mehnnn...
ReplyDeleteLagos roads are broken, cracked or filled with holes.
I just replaced my shocks last week. So frigging annoying.
These roads be causing serious wear and tear in cars. You see a super clean ride and all the panels underneath are worn off.
Mtchewww.
So pissed
So bloggie which of d roads did fashola do? From what's up there it seems all d roads re bad.
DeleteFashola actually did work but I guess the contractors used substandard materials. Now that the rain is here, the roads are all washed out. Smh
DeleteChoi! God bless you for this post Stella!
ReplyDeletePlease don't forget okota, Ago palace way after century, and most of the streets in okota! They have never been tarred and people have been living on those streets for 30years! Residents end up gathering money to patch roads when it gets really bad. And we pay taxes, we pay land use charge! What a shame!
And they say fashola worked.....retards!!!!!
DeleteNa wah oh. What is Ambode doing? You go fear potholes now.
ReplyDeleteWith potholes these big, you'll be changing the shocks in your car among other things almost every 3 months. Chai.
Ambode is the worst thing that has happened to Lagos state. Potholes thus leading to serious traffic holdups. This man sef. Using Lagos suffering to sew agbada.
DeleteDat Ambode dats a party animal
DeleteWiv his oily face like sacrifice
Useless somtin. He can't last in dat office
Ahn ahn, please is it this short period which Ambode has been in power that is the cause of the potholes? Fashola was there for 8 years, didn't he know about this potholes? Chai Nigerians, you guys are bad!!!'
DeleteI'm sorry to ask
Delete..sooooo in the three or so months that Ambode has been governor is when these potholes materialized? I'm trying to understand your point...do you mean he took a pickaxe and went about destroying the roads or could it be possible the roads were an inheritance? Which he would need to address one by one?? Come on let overt sentiments nor cloud our ability for sound reasoning.
This bad road cause traffic mostly ilasamaja road
ReplyDeleteThe situation of naija roads is quite disheartening.Many lives have been lost as a result of negligence on the part of our crazy government. Which way Nigeria???
ReplyDeleteStop complaining and go buy an SUV...shey you people wanted Ambode..
ReplyDeleteOsetigo...
SUVS are not left out. Some potholes are just like a well. Fucking deep
DeleteYou are a big idiot linda...what did fashola do!!!FOOLS!!!!!
DeleteSUV's are not left out o. I still dey find time to go replace mine o.
DeleteHorrible pot holes.
These roads still good nah... infact dem be express compared to the roads we have here in warri. Warri roads are pathetic to say the least
ReplyDeleteSend pictures na
DeleteMushin road is supposed to be an alternative for those coming from apapa, but eeeh...May God have mercy.
ReplyDeleteEko ni baje ooo
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!!
DeleteO baje tii
"Yinmu"
But I really wonder why the Nigerian government doesn't construct with concrete..... It's cheaper with time and more durable. A life span of a road constructed with concrete is between 35-50 years. Well what do I know?
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS NIGERIA.
What kinda road is dis? D preent
ReplyDeleteWhat kinda road is this??? The present government should take note and do something about it, D bad state of the road is an eyesore!

ReplyDeleteAmbode is working!
ReplyDeleteOur own better o
ReplyDeleteAnd fashola was working????
ReplyDeleteU a fool if u dunno
DeleteDat even if a road is done
It can go bad again. BRF worked
Beggy beggy oshi
And yet they will blame PDP for ruling Naija for 16yrs. Why are dia roads still bad after 16yrs of APC ruling in lagos. Am I wrong? All hands must be on deck b4 Naija will move forward in achieving greater things. Critics and blames will never solve Naijas problem. May God help us.
ReplyDeleteLagos na wah
ReplyDeleteThe ILEPO Road isn't here..Thats like the worst road in Lagos..imagine when it rains ehn that place is really terrible and even swallows Busses! In fact it's terrible..My street nko? We have like 6 swimming pools there before you get to d express..tufiakwa this country!
ReplyDeleteIt swallows not just buses, it stops trucks, huge trucks from moving. That road is worst. Ile epo is in a terrible state.
DeleteAmbode kontunu o...I don't just know for him, slowly destroying Lagos Mtchewwwww
ReplyDeleteOkwa ndi choro Ambode.
ReplyDelete**Som Baby**
Fashola did not repair Animashaun Road in Surulere, the road is really bad. Ambode should come and do something on Animashuan road ooo. Coker Road is a bit ok. Fashola worked on it.
ReplyDeletewe are waiting Ambode
Fashola was working now Ambode is
ReplyDeleteMy question is, did this roads suddenly get degenerated within the past few months Ambode resumed office? Were they not as bad during Fashola's tenure? All these PR governance, na wa! Anyway, Ambode,here's your challenge, deliver the mandate you promised. Perception is reality, your reputation is fast taking the plunge. Work or hire a bloody PR person to highlight your achievements!
ReplyDeleteAnd you want me to believe that Blacks are not cursed?
ReplyDeletei dont knw who ambode is saving the billion for....right now every road in lagos is bad...he promise to fix ikotun to cele as am speaking it took me 5hrs from ikotun to cele peace of work is vry slow and they are on and off.
ReplyDeleteAnytime i remember going to work n the morning through that Ilasa road, my heart flee cause the traffik dere everyday is WA, u can spend more than 1hrs on that particular spot,
ReplyDeleteTrying to decide which is worse, the bad road, or your horrendous grammar!
DeleteAll corrupt govt official will rot in HELL for all the citizen they have killed..their blood is on their head..Death awaits them.They steal billions and dont have an atom of conscience to construct the roads.God will punish all of you
ReplyDeleteStella please satellite town! It's like satellite town has been forgotten by Lagos state government. We are human beings and we pay tax too. ALL the roads in satellite town are so horrible. It's a nightmare over there and it's just so unfair. Everyday you're going to Mechanic to fix/change your shocks. Which kain life be that? Let's not even talk about the traffic that these potholes cause that eventually lead to robbery in traffic. Ambode please do something. Leave uncompleted buildings and help Lagosians. Everyone is crying. It's not only to collect tax from us.
ReplyDeleteWhich way NG and for those asking why d want uncompeleted building completed is cos must crimes are committed there.If you had listened to Wazobia FM yesterday evening you would have heard wat pple said about d ones near their houses or environment.
ReplyDeleteAmbode should continue d good works Fashola have done.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't death sentence be the punishment for embezzlement. It's practised in China...
ReplyDeleteWe have entered ONE chance with this Ambode. The traffic in Lagos and Crime right now has no part 2. Sentimentally, we have allowed ourselves into a deep mess and we have to bear it for 4 years. No light, no water, bad roads, no safety and security, people are stressed and falling sick....our lives are ticking away and we continue to say 'he go better'. Pls what do we do?
ReplyDeleteDuring Fasjola's reign, it was no fuel but good roads. Ambode's reign, worse roads, with more than enough fuel in the vehicle tank to burn in traffic. He is busy gallavanting at Quilox Bar and counting 100 days in the office. Hope by the next 100 days you will still be in that office.........Eko Ni Baje oooooo!!!!! Ambode is talking.
