This video that appeared online shows the brutal accident that happened on Lagos Island this weekend, with the possible cause being the Island’s bad roads.
The accident left a Lexus SUV completely damaged, as the front bumper of the vehicle and the bonnet were completely damaged by an accident.
Although the video did not specify the accident was a result of the bad roads on the Island, the poster @carcontinent admonished car owners living and driving through Lagos Island roads to abstain from speed as the roads are in poor shape.
The post said: “Easy out there guys, our roads are sooooo terrible, there are massive holes everywhere on the island. If you want to do need for speed, do not do it anywhere on lekki epe expressway, you’ll kill yourself.”
Here are reactions to the post:

@olivermintx commented: “Omo, two tyre in less than a month, especially when the road is free, you’ll be doing 70-90 and the next thing you’ll hear is gbaaa, shock observers everything go just spoil. This island is so overrated honestly.”
@perezie_ commented: “I swear I almost died on Sunday it was really dark with no street lights on and I was on top speed next thing I heard from my front Tyre was a loud sound before I could control the front I heard another from the back … all I can say was it was just God that night … I saw more than 20 cars Tyres going destroyed while I was waiting for a toll truck .. the bad stops there are something else .”
@mide.gram commented: “Lekki -Epe is a death trap at night, for a luxurious residential and commercial area, its bad 🤦🏽♂️”
@aristomixx commented: ‘Reason why the safety of cars is what I look out for before purchase. Safety rating key to me after a trailer once dragged my Volvo and no scratch on the occupants.”
