Lagos traffic is as long as the river Nile
Some say that you can have breakfast and lunch while waiting for the tight traffic in Lagos to disperse. It’s not everywhere in Lagos though, because the root cause of the stand-still traffic is illegally parked long vehicles and they are not tolerated everywhere in Lagos.
Lagos is overpopulated
Forget New York times square, nowhere in the world is as busy as Mushin or Ketu. These places are the densely populated suburb of Lagos city, and its inhabitants are mostly Yoruba people. Constant expansion from 1950 led to problems of overcrowding, inadequate housing, and poor sanitation in these areas. However, the overcrowded places also house booming commercial enterprises include spinning and weaving cotton, shoe manufacturing, bicycle, and motorized-cycle assembly, and the production of powdered milk.
