olu,

my jadedness no be small o.

That Oshodi is like the new Ozumba compared to some of the roads I face in Lagos every week......try taking a trip down to Kiri Kiri / Maza Maza one of these days and you'll see what I mean. Just pray you get out the same day you go in!

I have to find something to while away the time.....my other favourite is the MA YAGBE signs!

Next time you are nearing Cele bus stop on the express look out on the right for "Don't Urinate here. FINE N1000 and DIRTY SLAP!" always makes me laugh....

Matt-
I bet you sound like Bro.Jeremy when he first set his eyes,ears and nostrils on Lagos traffic.Give it a few more years brotha: you will be as jaded as the rest of us.

I love Oshodi! It's the best place to stop and fill up my boot with mountains of oranges!

I drive over the bridge very often and one thing I've noticed as I'm stuck behind the fuming Danfo's is the incredible Oshodi 'ROAD ART'. Next time you're there and hardly moving just have a look down at the road and you will see the incredible patterns of all the metal objects that have been squashed and flattened into the road surface. Beautiful shining screws and washers, jagged strips of metal etc etc. Half of the round is now metal!

Whenever I'm in traffic(which is a lot)I'm always on the look out for it. Has anyone else ever noticed it or do I spend too much time on my car!

It is a common thread that runs through the nation. There is an "Oshodi" in most parts of Nigeria.

Yeah, there is some good news. The good news is that as a result of all that misery and wretchedness, some of us on this dumb little planet are living prosperous, fulfilled lives. That's a good deal. Isn't it?

That's the side of Lagos that one rarely gets to see all the time. And i think that's closer depiction of life in Niaja in general, when you take away the flashy cars and big houses and trendy spots, you'll find that most of the population live like that.

Sad but true.
