It takes a certain degree of disconnection, isolation and disregard for the people for ANYONE to somehow think it appropriate to say that Lagos Traffic - amounting to 7 waking hours on average per working Lagosian, spent on just COMMUTING to and from work - should be celebrated. Lagos Traffic actually kills Lagosians. A pastor of mine, a banker, a husband and father, died in Lagos Traffic. An elder brother of a namesake from Ibeju-Lekki, also died in traffic at Mile 2. I know of many Lagosians that have developed High Blood Pressure or worsened existing cardiac conditions because of Lagos Traffic Families are separated because of Lagos Traffic. An entire generation of young Lagosians have grown up either almost without enough input from their fathers, or with both parents largely absent from their lives, because of Lagos Traffic. Lagos businesses lose millions of man hours and billions of naira DAILY because of Lagos Traffic. I do not think that Lagosians that have been harassed, attacked or robbed in Lagos Traffic will agree that it is a "lifestyle" that should be "celebrated". @GRVlagos and I have always known this, and we have come up with a practical integrated, multi-modal transport plan that should cut the average Lagos daily commute time from the disgraceful 7 hours it currently is to around 2 hours. We will fix the major arterial roads first, mostly along the main bus routes, because we are bringing in a much larger number of buses than are currently in the service of LAMATA, but we cannot afford to damage them within a few weeks because of bad roads. We will also increase the number of motorable roads from the 1.3km/km² we currently have, to at least 5km/km² within 18 months. For reference, Singapore, 20% the size of Lagos, has 13.6km/km². We will build more jetties and introduce bigger catamaran platforms with roro facilities, so that vehicles as large as semi-trailer trucks and buses can be ferried at reasonable speeds across the relatively shallow Lagos waterways, alongside passaengers. Our lagoons, rivers and canals will certainly become busier. We will expand the railway provision to connect more parts of the state more quickly. We know that we need at least another 11 lines, and at least 300 more train stations, in addition to the buses and ferries. For reference, Singapore had 10 functional railway lines, and 148 railway stations. Only a man who has had the privilege of travelling in heavily guarded convoys for the 21 years he has lived off taxpayers' funds can see the soul-destroying Lagos gridlock as something to be celebrated. We do not see Lagos Traffic as something to be celebrated. We see it as a problem to be solved, and by God, and with your help, we will reduce it drastically. If we all work together, we will Make Èkó Great Again. #VoteGRV2027 #VoteADC #TakeYourFitnessSeriously #MakeEkoGreatAgain #MEGA2027
