The Nigerian problem is beyond governance. I stand to be corrected though.

Strong law & enforcement. Wake up WAI Pass 1 way* - Car Gone Overspeeding - Big fine or 1 month prison or both. 2 years Driver's licence revalidation where all holders must go retest. Open defecation - community service or 1 month prison. Litter - Mandatory comm ser or prison

It’s still falls back to the government, people misbehave because they know there is no consequence for wrong doing. Same people travel and automatically adjust to the system.

Thank you so much for this video. Having traveled to several countries across Asia, Africa, and Europe and interacted with many different people, I’ve seen cases where people live below average standards of living, yet they still maintain a decent level of personal and environmental hygiene. Poverty does not justify living in dirty conditions, refusing to shower, or leaving your surroundings unclean. It also doesn’t explain crossing the road without using pedestrian walkways, throwing waste out of a moving vehicle, parking at bus stops, and other similar behaviors. Honestly, I don’t know what will change the mentality behind these actions. Sometimes, when you try to correct people, they react as if you are attacking them. Meanwhile, many of these issues are not caused by the government but by personal choices. So, blaming the government for behaviors that individuals can control is not the solution.

so we be ekuke.. duru, oya na

😂😂😂 the matter tire me.

It's governance. It begins with governance and ends with governance. Humans behave lawlessly only in a lawless society. A government that can't enforce the law is also a lawless one. Blame the government for allowing people to misbehave, not the people themselves.

I'm so glad that you and @IgumaScott are finally seeing that the people you are fighting for are actually the real problems. Govt is doing its part the citizens are spoiling it. We are our own problems.

Look at this woman and the man next to her. The pedestrian bridge is only a few feet away from her, she walked right by it and decided to endanger her life by not only running across the highway, she climbed by the concrete center divider to run across and endanger her life again. Seems such behaviour is part of our DNA..

Despite the speed limits and warning signpost saying, ' drive slowly, construction workers are ahead', go there and see how people drive like the road is formula 1 race court. Even the worst are perpetrated on that road by those we assumed to be 'educated'.

💯 You are right

You are wrong. The major problem of Nigeria is lack of education of the populace and no rule of law. who are responsible for not educating people, who have invested so little in education? The government. If there is strict enforcement of laws and rules, if people know the consequence of their action irrespective of who they are, everyone will behave. Who is responsible for rules and laws? The government. Most Nigerians are stupid, only strong institutions will reset them but the government can’t create such strong institutions because the disfunction, the ignorance of the people and lack of laws serves them.

This isn't poverty at all because this same people will go abroad and abide by their rules, this is just Nigerians being nonchalant and not being punished or penalized for their actions enough If 1 person misbehaves and arrested then faced a rough judgement no Matter who he/she knows, others will sit right but until then, Nigerians will still be acting nonchalant

Spot on!!!Poverty is just an excuse for our reckless behaviors.

The kind of people we Nigerians elevate to the status of celebrities or influencers is very worrisome

I don't think we are ready for this arguement yet as a nation

Is it just that? The road is now home to hundreds of homeless people.

Nigeria’s problem lies in a government that fails to implement systems that holds reckless Nigerians accountable. Is there any governor or president who hasn’t traveled abroad? Just call a spade a spade

This was my opinion few months ago when it was planned to be opened for traffic.

Just reason your statements again, “If they give you park” , “ if they give you garden” , “if they give you access to the beach" Everything starts and ends with the government . The government is the head of the home . How about the government provides these things adequately, educate people about preserving them, put laws in place to preserve them , and punish anyone that breaks the law ( irrespective of who the defaulter is) . Education, infrastructure, laws and the rule of law are foundational assets of every functioning society. A vast majority of of Nigerians are uneducated, a huge percentage of Nigerians are poor ( poverty sometimes kills the education in the educated) , next Nigeria lack laws, and where they have laws they bend it for some people. ONCE THE LAWS OF THE LAND ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO ALL EQUALLY, then there is no law. ✌️

Stop talking rubbish, you are becoming irritating. Government is responsible for enforcing traffic rules and speed limit. In developed climes all roads have speed limit, you dare not go over the speed limit, it's not because they are inherently responsible it is because their government are responsible.

It’s quite simple. A country where citizens can get away with anything will do anything. No punitive actions in place is literally an endorsement to do it again. Don’t believe me, how come they obey rules in other countries abroad?

Nigerian government is not dealing with children…. This approach they always use has never worked…. Enforce a strict law…. Which one is close….. let that road be fully equipped to capture any vehicle that flaunt the traffic….. and take every means to persecute…. Closing it will not solve it.

Bro you are a very stupid person a very very stupid person Nah God go punish you

Our problem is lawlessness and zero consciousness about the responsibilities of the citizens to the country but only want the govt to do everything for them. We have a psychological problem as a nation not poverty, if the country works, a lot of Nigerians would be uncomfortable.

Let me explain this to you. The progression of everything that exists in nature is decay, except a force exists to prevent it. If this force exists enough, it becomes a norm. If this force is absent enough, that also becomes the norm. Anyhowness is the norm here.

i say this thing all the time

Nigerians are only Good outside Nigerian.. and it’s crazy we don’t value ourselves and our own

Still boils down to governance. Build roads. Put signage. Traffic wardens. Punish offenders. Simple. There’s enough unemployed people to fill that vacuum. Anything negative people do is because the government allows it. Guide and punish.

It shud be closed then for satefy especially workers. No need to lament too much.

From Alakija bus stop, Abule Ado, Under Bridge, Trade Fair, Ojo, Alaba Rago, Okokomaiko to Iya Iba on the Badagry Express Road, that entire stretch is a national disgrace. Ọmọ come and see dirtyyyyy everywhere, total mess. Pure reflection of shameless and mannerless citizens.

We are no longer afraid of the consequences of our actions and inactions. We have reached a point where we use “na govt cause am/it is the fault of the govt” to justify recklessness and indiscipline. It is well!

Rubbish talks...when people see that their is no consequence for any crime committed...won't everyone want to commit crime...Someone who stole half of state funds is being congratulated by the president, the one who wants to hijack a plane was asked by the government to apologize

I know they will cry under this post even after enough clarity. Nigerians aren’t ready to be accountable.

I keep telling people it’s not about poverty, we have a cultural problem, people that will build beautiful houses and their surroundings are littered. Relocate them to new markets and they will be back at the roadside. Ask about Oja’ba in Ib, vehicle deaths and they won’t leave

@Bond_not_james in other words the road is not yet ready for motorists up to the point Umahi said was completed cos I don’t see why they would want to close a road that was commissioned. This is the question you should ask yourself and not ppl taking one way.
