Love this video, Menapole you are going places. shut your eyes to the negative comments. I am so delighted to see the road project, so ambitious as you rightly said. Kudos to Lagos Govt.
I actually thought that part of the city has been long abandoned by the Govt. But seeing this is really delightful. I pray they will be able to finish the project on time thumbs up.
Lol where have you been to in Lagos? Even Kano or Kaduna has a three level bridge😂 (just so you understand, it's like an under pass and then an over pass and then there is another bridge above. Three layers of roads) that's nothing compared to the bridge network in Lagos though if only you know places. If not for road signs many drivers will miss their ways, if you miss a turn you're on your way to another place entirely😂
Wow. Great video! Alakija junction na you be this after 20yrs. This is same road leading to cotonou, right? Great job from Lagos government, knowing what here used to be like. Thanks for this update. More grace to you bro
No gawk yourselves. Even 3rd mainland is free nowadays and IT IS BECAUSE PETROL IS VERY FKING EXPENSIVE. I used to leave my house around 05:00am from iyana ipaja, now i leave at 06:30am and get to Ikoyi before 8am. Same road but vehicular density has reduced immensely
@Styve_22 forget about this tribal banter as I don't believe in tribe like you. That road is a gateway to Nigeria. I am talking of sanitation and 'Nigerian's Image'.
Don't mind him why he didn't start from national theatre down to orile all road are bad and crazy hoodlums everywhere and truck and tankers at mile 2 doing rubbish this are one of the problems we have In the country...
With the increased development of this city, it is predicted that renting or buying/building homes will only attract middle to high income earners mostly. Original owners of properties will sell their homes in Lagos and relocate to others states with cheaper land and build. In that way, the population of Lagos will be stable and security will improve as residents will be more committed to a safer environment.
Na wetin I dey try let am know. Fuel wey before I dey use 22,000 buy full tank for one week, NOW na almost 75k I don sell one of my cars, and the other one I no dey drive except on weekends. Na BRT and Korope.
Do you need a translator? Size is determined by landmass and population. Russia is the largest country yet Nigeria is larger than Russia. An educated person will understand that easily.
@@emmanuelogundipe3328l dont know what you mean,Nigeria is not larger than Russia only by population.Russia is more than half the landmass of the entire Africa.
@@suntanglory I just gave examples of two nations, one large based on landmass and the other based on population. I even said an educated person will understand. It's obvious. You all are in hurry to comment, that's why you don't read to understand. By the way Russia is not half the size of Africa cos Africa is way larger than the way it's been depicted on the map which means Africa and African countries are bigger than they appear on maps.
Great content chief.. I just hope this same government can put some basic things/rules into place. One of em is ROAD MARKINGS! Another is this disgusting thing of seeing vehicles be it bikes or cars driving one way (against traffic). Another is the annoying habit of stopping on the high way to pick up passengers meanwhile the service lane is there for that purpose.
Traffic in Lagos these days is affected by Fuel price - reduce fuel cost & go film traffic again. I would argue the Lagos Calabar Coastal Highway is highly ambitious.
Traffic was going in both directions, but I guess you guys are use to that. Will they but lane markings on the road? Lagos should build wider sidewalks so maybe people will not walk in the streets. But nice road, I like watching Nigeria’s growth
Do you ply the road daily? fuel scarcity made it free. Your video stopped at iyana iba and you are saying its completed. Stop the exaggeration. its not complete, . That project should have been completed in 2017/18 according to the initial project timeline, it started in 2007. Work has improved on the road but its not completed.
Despite the huge trillions of money sunk on infrastructure in Lagos, starting from colonial times over 200 years ago, Lagos still looks like shit. This is something that puzzles me about Lagos. Look at the far less money put in Abuja, and Abuja is far classier than Lagos. Ever since the British and Nigeria military left and Yorubas took complete control of Lagos, corruption has been killing Lagos. Lagos is decaying despite the huge money being sunk into Lagos😄
@@shemovrere7431unfortunately nothing is going on in Agbara because Ogun State government is not serious. They asked that the red line should reach Abeokuta but the only station in the first phase of the red line that falls in the Ogun territory is still in ground level and the access roads leading to the federal station that has been in operation since 2021 is still in bad condition. The redline is already in operation but the Agbado station has not been built. To cut it short, the dream of it reaching Agbara is still not feasible.
15 years to complete a road project…Nigeria leaders are shameless and useless….How can a road project take 15 years to be completed? Nigeria is indeed a failed nation….The funny thing is that the roads don’t even look nice…Really crazy that Nigerian politicians have reduced Nigerians to a level where mediocrity is celebrated….So sad…I visited South Africa last year from United States for Christmas and what I saw in South Africa in terms of infrastructural development blew my mind…In fact, South Africa is a billion miles ahead of every other country in Africa…All the international airports in Nigeria, including Lagos international airport, are below average.. This is because we elect visionless illiterates into power , and Nigerians will continue to suffer…
be like you just come Lagos. the road has not been completed and the one that has been completed is very bad, at oriel for example, alibi and even after last.
@@AIGBEOVBIOSAOSAWARU lagos state is the one designated to handle the execution of the road from Orile to okoko, while the federal government will carry on after that.
but guy why you dey lie!!! all for views!!! that project was ongoing while i was in university which was 2013, 11 years later them never still finish am. If you are going to build a youtube audience, build it on integrity not on fallacies. The road is far from complete.
Oga this information is not correct the road is not completed yet its been done in stages there are even some parts that have not been repaired yes the road upgrade is very much improved may be like 70% but lots of work needs to be done to complete the road and more bridges are needed in Agbara especially while the way users dont obey laws on the road is amazing especially the military men and bike riders its all madness.

Yes, we have issues but I LOVE MY COUNTRY! There is no place like home! GOD BLESS NIGERIA!!! ❤
Is this Nigeria or not? I can't believe such a bridge can be built in Nigeria. Kudos to the Lagos State government. You surprised me!

You stay under the rock ?lagos have more than 200 flyovers and bridges
Lol. Ijora Causeway is 3 layers and it was built in the 70s or 80s. Nor be today Nigeria dey build big bridges na
You don't seem to know much about Lagos.
Your thought when you brought up in village.. Nigeria has been advanced even than now..

This guy definitely came to Lagos last week. I was feeling ashamed with his commentary 😭😔😭😔
For the most beautiful roads in Nigeria, please come to Abuja and see world-class roads.

See Nigeria is trying but they need to be organised,motor full everywhere,houses no dey organise,dirty everywhere
It is the Lagos Government that is paying for the construction of the Road and Rail Road above, and not the Nigerian government.
The government should work on sanitation within that axis. Everywhere seems polluted especially with scavengers and shanties
Lagos is London to compare what eastern govt in doing in sanitation.

Impressive.
So, I am wondering: where were those trunks and tankers that characterised the experiences we used to have regarding the persistent TRAFFIC?
Maintenance is lacking as usual. The express is beautiful when there is total disregard of traffic laws. Again, most Nigerians don't get.
Nice one

Why building roads without road marks very poor
Not yet complete
D road not yet completed fully so forget abt road signs or line

Why is there no lane marking and oncoming okadas is just too much anxiety for me to handle, you'd think they'd implement some basic road rules.
Na jjc go to Epe to see modern road
The Road is free, bcos fuel is expensive....alot of cars is pack @ home
Take train
Is this road also constructed using concrete?
That road needs to be much more safer there's people walking if that's a highway there's no safety going on there

So you are living without ambition.
@@amfineanyou7232 You don't always have to be a smart Alec. Keep it classy. Kid.
no markings and look dirty.. bro must come from a state with really bad roads thats why seeing this road looks beautiful to him

If I hear say they complete am

It is a matter of indiscipline on the part of some road users. Those commercial buses are the menace of Lagos roads.
Why you no reach badagry ?
It is not being built by the Nigerian government, but a sub national..it is being built by the Lagos State Government.
