Iconic movie director, Bolanle Austen-Peters has narrated her ordeal in the chaotic traffic of Wednesday, April 2, 2025 which followed the closing of the Independence Bridge linking Marina to Victoria Island in Lagos.
Getting to work in the morning and returning home in the evening were a serious ordeal for Lagosians on Wednesday as a result of the road closure.
Using her verified Twitter handle, Austen-Peters said she trekked from Victoria Island to Ikoyi.
She wrote: “Poor or rich, security cars or okada, everyone was humbled by yesterday’s traffic. Walking from VI to Ikoyi heard someone say “whether your car is worth 7 billion or not we are all stuck together in this traffic. Non-existent pedestrian walkways, broken rails on bridges, water puddles became the only path for all except you wanted to stay in the traffic. This is the reality of the average man. SMH… which way forward..???”
