Nigerians lament over hardship faced on Lekki Epe expressway.

Several Nigerians and commuters who ply through the Lekki Epe expressway in Lagos have continued to complain about the gridlock in that axis.

Among those who have lamented about the daily gridlock experienced along the popular road on Lagos Island are movie star Mercy Aigbe and popular skit maker, Mr Macaroni.

In a post shared via her Instagram page on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, Aigbe lamented on how the gridlock has made production almost impossible.

"How exactly is one supposed to be productive when you spend almost all day in lagos gridlock! 😰 Nigeria is frustrating jare! No fuel, No Power, No good road, the list is long!!!!! I mean nothing! Nothing!! 🤬," she wrote.

For Macaroni the gridlock on the Ajah axis of the road is exhausting.

"I don’t think any traffic in Nigeria can beat the one people face on Lekki-Ajah road. This is so exhausting 😭," he tweeted.

Commuters have been faced with the herculean task of plying the Lekki Epe expressway for months now.

This has been linked to the heavy construction going on at the Victoria Garden City axis of the road linking Victoria Island to the rest of the Island.

Madness of Lagos traffic.

I left Abraham Adesanya at 5:15am. It's almost 9am and I'm not at VGC yet.

For context, the distance is about 5kms.

I have spent 3 hours and counting between Abraham Adesanya and Ajah Bridge
This shouldn’t take less than 5 minutes on a regular drive
I get to work exasperated, worn and less productive

Whoever survives in Lagos, can survive anywhere in the world !

After trekking from Abraham Adesanya axis past VGC, Tfare from VGC to Agungi is still #700 naira.

What's worse? The person that dropped me at Abraham Adesanya over 1 hour ago is still in a spot trying to navigate from Thomas Estate through the inner road to the express.#ajah

Pray for those that are commuting Abraham Adesanya axis of Ajah in Lagos. They're going through a lot. How they go to work and return home daily is beyond science and human understanding.

After going through the Abraham Adesanya trend, was not surprised to see I'm not the only 1 that walked from Abraham Adesanya to VGC this morning 🥺...
