If only Lastma and the Police can stop using one way in Lagos State


Some days ago, a major disaster was covered up in Lagos by the parent of a child who claimed that  as Christians, they I'll have nothing to benefit if a Lastma official was sacked on account of an incident which led to the death of a fourteen years old boy because the official knocked the boy down while taking one way and the innocent boy died on the spot. The parent decided to keep quiet and not report the official, claiming that it should be seen as an at of God. Since the parent decided to keep quiet, it s not my business to say the name of that official. Though they claimed that the official begged that his life problem is as a result of the issues his wife is creating for him at home, I do not see that as a good enough reason to take one way which eventually led to the death of a fourteen years old boy.

The other day, I almost ran into a police vehicle because the police van was coming right opposite me     On one way. From all indication, they were not chasing anyone. The only reason they took one way was because there was a major traffic on the other lane.  Rather than help address the traffic situation, they will rather take one way.

One will recall here quickly that the day the Lagos state governor caught a military man taking the BRT lane, it became one of the most talked about news in the media at the time, one wonders therefore why this one way issue never gets addressed. Is it untill it causes a major disaster?  Eko oni baje o.

I am looking forward to that day Joseph. Cause the so called enforcement officers are always the first to flaunt the rules. Worse is those from other states who come into Lagos and start blaring stupi sirens. I really dont know when we will really get there oo.
