- Welcome to another episode of driving in Accra vs Lagos. In this episode, we're not just talking about the roads and the vehicles but the people behind the wheels. We'll delve into the unique driving styles and the human experiences that shape them in these bustling cities.
Lagos' total road length is 5180 kilometres, whilst Accra's is 1,117 kilometres, which is almost five times bigger. Greater Lagos has over 20 million people, compared to over 5 million in Greater Accra. That is nearly four times the size disparity. Despite the size difference, Accra boasts an expatriate community far larger than Lagos. In reality, there are very few differences between the two cities besides Accra being safer, cleaner, less aggressive, and having a better power and water supply.
Lagos is a freak for a city with corruption at the heart of its private, public, and everyday life. Aggression and fist fights are commonplace, with a disastrous disregard for traffic regulations. Dilapidated infrastructure and high birth rates have overwhelmed the city's capacity to cater to its teeming population. As a result, poverty and homelessness are probably the worst in the world. The city is often ranked at the bottom of the world, with the recent Economist Intelligent Unit (EIU) 2024 release comparing 173 cities and ranking Lagos as the fourth worst city in the world.

U re super correct in ur analysis....i was born,bred n buttered in Lagos
Road markings and street lights are also very big problem in Accra city
❤❤❤ I am based in Canada. Love your videos. Thanks for telling the truth.
You are so welcome
Nigeria don cast
Thanks for opening this channel, man. I love it.
Thank you!
Very provocative video.
Do video that will unites Africans and not divide the people the more!!!
Very painful!!
I'm a Ghanaian I watched this video and what i lent from it is Ghanaians are better @ driving however there is a lot for them to learn so what did you learn from this video
Though what you saying is the reality but the fact remains , u have an agenda , which is spread all negatives stories about Nigeria as much as possible .
This video is a testament cos y compare lagos traffic to accra traffic y not abuja traffic to accra traffic .
The comparison is also baselss cos u just confirmed from your video that accra is 6 times less the population of lagos , also considering that lagos has a small land mass as against the overwhelming population.
U never mentioned the improvements made on the other means of transportion besides road , can accra boost of the kind of railway and waterway transportation system we have in lagos .
Yes wat u said is the reality but one does not need a prophet to know that u have a strong hate for ur country . Nigeria isn't perfect and we the citizens ant happy about it but constant spreading of only negative storys also can never get it better . On your own what have u done for the betterment of ur country .

I hope I understood that correctly, but based on what I grasped, I don't entirely agree. Still, I value your critique. However, thanks for stopping by.

It is called 'honking' not horning. There is nothing called car horning
@TheophilusEgbor
I don't speak American; don't force your foreign language on me. We beep the horn in the UK; you honk them in America. Honking is rarely, if ever, used in British English.
11:06 that "one way" leads to either left or u-turn, and most were not heading there. That is why there is traffic on one side and a few cars passing the left lane. You can use it only when you are making a u turn or left, so in a sense, Accra drivers are adhering to the traffic rules by not taking that lane which is designated for left turn Motorists. Motorists are right, not wrong. You are wrong with your analysis.

I appreciate your contribution; however, that particular footage didn't tally up with my narration. I was referring to another incident I experienced but couldn't record.
Thanks for stopping by.
