By “Traffic Woes: Falz Highlights the State of Lekki-Epe Expressway”
Nigeria’s renowned musician and social activist, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falzthebahdguy, has once again used his platform to on X (formerly known as Twitter ) bring attention to a pressing issue in the country. This time, he has turned his spotlight on the deplorable state of the Lekki-Epe expressway.
In a thought-provoking video posted on his social media handle, Falz shared a clip of a commentator ruing the heavy traffic that residents and commuters on the Lekki-Epe expressway have to endure on a daily basis. Despite being touted as the fastest growing urban centre in Africa, the commentator lamented that the state of the road does not reflect this growth.
This video has sparked a conversation on various social media platforms, with many echoing Falz’s sentiment and calling on the government to urgently address the issue. The Lekki-Epe expressway, which serves as a major route to the affluent Lekki axis of Lagos, has become a nightmare for commuters and residents due to its poor condition.
This is not the first time Falz has used his platform to bring attention to social issues in the country. In the past, he has addressed issues such as police brutality and corruption through his music and activism. With his recent video, he once again proves that he is not only a talented artist but also a responsible citizen who is passionate about bringing about positive change in his country.

This is Sangotedo to be precised, very close to a LCDA and shoprite. I passed there this morning and can tell you for a fact that this is what we go through ON A DAILY BASIS, and there is a figure head in this Lagos?
