LASTMA TRAFFIC REPORT
Now you can get the traffic report in and around Lagos, before you set out on your journey. Just click here to check what the traffic status is (lol - only there is no status, they haven't updated it in yonks, God help us!)
However, you can call their traffic hotline (which is not toll-free) on 01-7743026 and 01-4703325. I can imagine a frustrated aunty answering those phones telling you she doesn't know because she is not on the road at the moment.

Pink Panther u wont kill me lol!
this comment is because mona asked and so if its boring its her fault. This is a brief account of my first and hopefully my last encounter with lastma on my return to lagos. I was on my way to VI and chose to go through tafewa balewa and basically from there u merge with the traffic coming from eko bridge. Now lastma has these cones up and one side is for ikoyi and the other is for vi. It was raining, and so people were doing gra-gra and I was on the phone and so I just followed a car in front of me. Apparently we both drove through the cones instead of entering before the cones were set. So I was told to pull over and three lastma guys hopped in the car. They started speaking to me in yoruba which is only funny to people who know me. The thing they do to scare u is to tell u how much the fine was (45 grand in my case for the talking on the phone and going through the cone) and then they ask u for a ridiculous sum like half and then the barganing starts from there. Now whatever u think of bribery, giving in to them is very tempting cos if u don't u go to the station and that is ur whole day. Know someone that got sent to pysch ward cos disagreed with fine. Anyway I digress. So while they threatened to take me to the office and I asked them what they wanted back and forth as they lowered their expectations I finally decided to give them all the money in my wallet which was a lot less than the starting price but more than I should have paid according to almost everyone. However the most annoying thing was that while they were extorting me for these minor offences I was watching people drive past me the wrong way, knock over the cones, and generally break the more serious rules that were the reason for lastma in the first place. Now the advice I will leave u with is that u should always have a wallet and a large enough amount that they won't laugh and haul u in but small enough that losing it will not result in you robbing someone and then keep the balance somewhere else on your person. Apparently this works for robbery during go-slow as well. Aiight if u also think this is way too long then blame mona for that as well.

Not been to Nigeria in donkey years but after reading this, I feel I know all thats going on back home :)

came looking for my favourite researcher and saw the comments-
@ pink panther- you don't have to write a book to join the 'unsolved' list. Thinking it is enough here now.
@ snazzy- The LASTMA guys probably smelt your 'fear', being the animals they are.
You said they ignored others committing worse offences? Your willingness to pay up (guys from England are always too willing)and English accent probably didn't help matters.
ps. Do get an ear piece for your phone. Will save you a lot of hassle here.
Smooches, mona.
