šØ SOS
Lekki has an agbero problem. And itās getting worse.
What used to be limited to bus parks is now happening on major roads, junctions, even near residential areas.
More confidence. More aggression. Less control.
At this point, itās no longer just a nuisance.
Itās intimidation. Itās disorder. Itās a system quietly breaking down.
And the real issue?
Silence normalises it.
Order is not too much to ask.
Safety is not optional.
Accountability is necessary.

šØ Lekkiās Hidden Death Trap šØ
Too many lives have been lost because of one overlooked danger: the concrete median in Lekki. Almost every recent accident traces back to it invisible at night, unmarked, and unforgiving.
This isnāt just a statistic; itās a call for action. Painting the median to make it visible, installing clear signs to warn drivers, and adding reflectors could save countless lives.
We canāt afford to wait. Every day without resolution is another risk. Letās demand change, because safety should never be negotiable. ā

It is honestly wild that in 2026, we are celebrating a pothole finally being fixed in Maryland, Ikeja. š„²
A simple road defect stayed there for years on a major route in the capital city of Lagos.
And it reportedly took constant public pressure before action finally happened.
If this is the reality in Ikeja, what then happens in other LGAs with less visibility?
The frustrating part is that there are still other potholes on the same route that were ignored.
So what exactly is the system here?
Do citizens have to keep posting every damaged road before basic repairs happen?
What are local government chairmen and councillors measuring as performance?
Who is tracking road maintenance before things become disasters?
Still, credit where it is due.
This fix is a win for everyone who uses that route daily and for the Lagos Updates community that kept pushing for action.
Small win.
But it also shows how much work is still left.
Street trading on major roads in Lagos should not still look like this in 2026.
People running between moving cars, selling in traffic, blocking major roads and risking their lives daily is not normal city behaviour.
This is no longer just an Ikeja problem.
You see the same thing in Lekki, VI, Ikoyi and across several LGAs.
A world-class city cannot depend on occasional raids and temporary enforcement.
Because enforcement is not about one-off operations.
It is about building systems that consistently work over time.
Proper walkways.
Designated trading zones.
Traffic barriers.
Consistent enforcement.
Data-driven monitoring.
And long-term urban planning.
Systems will always beat vibes.
What do you think Lagos is getting wrong?
The Lagos state government needs to do something urgently. Itās even worse now that the road has been fixed. Let's execute safety in practice and not just in theory.
šLagos is producing more waste than parts of the current system can handle.
Some PSP operators do not have enough trucks, manpower or operational capacity to keep up with rapidly growing areas across the city.
The result?
Overflowing bins.
Illegal dumping.
Blocked drainage.
Health risks.
And refuse sitting in homes for days or even weeks.
LAWMA has started removing some underperforming operators, but this problem needs deeper structural solutions.
More trucks.
Better route planning.
Transfer stations.
Stronger enforcement.
Faster response systems.
And proper monitoring.
A megacity cannot function properly with waste piling up on the roads.
Cleanliness is not cosmetic.
It is public health, infrastructure and city management.
How is the pickup of trash in your area like?
š§ No reflective studs. No warning bollards. No advance signage. Just a bare concrete median that keeps causing crashes.
Too many accidents. Too many lives at risk. Drivers keep slamming into this median because thereās nothing to alert them before impact.
Until proper safety measures are installed, reflective studs, bollards, clear signage, weāre left exposed. Please stay alert, drive cautiously, and protect yourself and others.
ā ļø Stay alive until something is finally done. Share this to keep everyone safe.
What started as car spotting in Ikoyi is slowly turning into something else.
People now walk into moving traffic, crowd roads, chase cars and create unnecessary congestion around already busy areas.
Some residents see it as harmless.
Others believe it is becoming unsafe and disorderly.
Public roads are meant for movement, not roadside obstruction.
At the same time, this is also a deeper economic issue.
Many young people are clearly looking for opportunity, attention or survival.
But allowing dangerous street behaviour to become normal only creates bigger problems later.
Lagos can be energetic without becoming chaotic.
I truly believe that small actions, taken day by day, can create real change. That pothole has been there for years, and after driving into it last month, I decided I would do whatever it takes to see it fixed. Iām grateful for everyone who has shared, commented, and held onto the belief that together, we can make a difference. We move ā¤ļø
