I lived close to the shore in Bariga area and used to just chill at the water front down my street to get cool breeze and I'd always ask myself. How come nobody ever thinks of opening up waterways and using water as a means of transport? This Lagoon connects Bariga, Akoka, Unilag, EbutteMetta, VI, Dolphin Estate, Chevron, Ikorodu, down to Ibeju, Epe, down to Ebutte Lekki...and then down to TinCan, Idumota and Apapa.
This is lovely innovative thinking.
I would encourage the Lagos state government to take it one step further and open this space up to investors/transport operators who can operate bigger ferry passenger boats(to reduce the amount of ferries in the space for safety) and sail longer routes/distances within the Lagoon space to areas with minimal wave turbulence.
The Lagos State waterways corporation would then only need to
-sell operating licenses for (passenger transport, cargo transport and tours)
- dictate guides to entry (e.g ability to operate min of 7 ferries, employing minimum of 100 people) etc
-regulate the space
-make sure operators are operating to set standards.
-conduct periodic and random audits, and inspections of equipment and safety
-Create regulations and laws for transportation of passengers.
-create regulations and laws for transportation of cargo.
-provide infrastructure for the jetties, Parking for passengers and etc
-Create a Lagos state Navy/coast guard department.
-build central towers like light houses with military personnel on standby overlooking the area with binoculars ready for emergency situations.
-Maybe also introduce aquatic life with big fishes that could boost the ecosystem and encourage tourism.
If that becomes the case...this space could easily become a billion/trillion dollar industry of its own with huge revenue potential.
I will die a happy man knowing that the future of our children and yet to be born are going to have a very bright future and a country to be mighty proud of.
We shall get there. Really impressive
Thank you for your comment. This ferry system surely helps. Kindly share and subscribe.
Beautiful presentation and great infrastructure in place we done even have on in Canada here 😊
Wow really. that's surprising.. thanks alot for watching
You're really creating awareness
,thank you so much Sir,
Amazing. Nigerians are hardworking 🙏
This is very impressive. Is there a way the transportation systems can be extended to Badagry? There doesn't seem to be much development in that axis of Lagos.
Super impressive..... Kudos Nigeria🇳🇬❤️🇬🇭
I think bigger ferries and boats, like the ones used in Turkey and other parts of Europe would probably quench the fear of Nigerians and you don't really need life jacket for those. Also, your car can come on the ride for those, so you will just continue your journey via road. This is great but can be much much developed!
Correct, but patronage is quite low even now, big ferries would increase waiting time, the small ones still save as long as all safety measures are put in place and followed.
You guys are absolutely correct.. they both have their advantages and disadvantages.
@@geesrec It would not increase waiting time. There is something known as scheduling! Passengers can plan their arrival at the port on time, board the ferry and it also departs right on time.
The one you mentioned will be best for cruising not everyday trip or timing. I also wish we have such for holiday-makers
@@CrownARTTV there can be both cruise and commercial options
Yea life jacket first ❤❤
😂😂necessary ooo
Your videos are dope, you are doing well and it's only a matter of time....well done
Thank you so much Bro.. this means alot..
Good development. More wins ahead
Thank you so much Amen
Thank u for showing us how beautiful Nigeria is
This is good news for Nigeria. especially for Lagos state. I hope to take that ride when I get to Lagos next...
Nice tour am impressed with the development
I will try to Use this next time, thank you for doing this video!!! Nice one
No more tickets... you use same Cowry card for train, bus , boat
Very positive video. I had to follow.
We had big ferries in the Lateef Jakande era in Lagos. They shuttled Marina, Apapa and Mile 2.
wow. how could the government not maintain such an amazing development
@@menapoleeMilitary regimes happened afterwards
Wow! A lot has changed since the first and last time I tried the ferry from Ikorodu to Sandfill, VI.
Well executed video bro 👏🏽 To think I’ve had this video idea for the longest time now.
I subscribed to your channel via Kenneth Nwache, and all your videos are excellent. Keep it up, you'll grow soon.
Wow. Thank you so much. I really appreciate
I like the fact now that different means of transportation is now being used more in the country. The government really did good in the new development and I like the fact they are trying to reduce the traffic on the road, especially in Lagos where there is a lot of traffic to the point you stay on the road for like 5 to 6 hours getting to a nearby destination. So kudos to the government. And nice one mena. Truly safety first. That's very important.
Point of correction...Different means of transportation is now being used " _*in lagos state..._ " not the country. Because tryst me, idk what other state governors are doing because they are most certainly sleeping. Except Abia State governor sha
@@thatoneguywholovesthena-4529what is abia doing? Media propaganda
You failed to mention that of anambra, imo, Oyo, Kano, and Niger.
@@austynworldinc3455lol😂...I tell you.
Birth Nnaji built a power plant for good 17years,they are spreading lies on social media that Alex otti built it within 6months...As in!
@@austynworldinc3455 the most brain dead take ever on Abia State I have ever seen. You didn't see the bad roads did you? You didn't see what ariaria market looked like before Abi? The 24/7 light in Aba and 9 other local governments....that one flew over your head Abi? The countless amount of foreign investors that showed up because of the achievement of stable electricity...you did not hear that one Abi? The reduction of touts and thugs terrorising the market place you didn't hear that one? Obi cubana and innoson meeting with the governor to set up factories in their state because of he light...that one flew over your head? The sea port being built...you no see am? The modular refinery, you no hear am? The train tracks being laid in the state, you no see am? Abeg go and hug transformer
@@ayantolasaheed7425 obviously he didn't build it, he did the final push to finish it. That's like saying sanwo Olu built the metro rail system in Lagos today...no, that was Tinubu who gave the green light on that 16 years ago. Sanwo Olu just happened to be the one to push the project to completion. People in Abia State, local people o are testifying...Shettima went there, investors have gone there, Obi cubana went there, innoson went there and said the same thing that otti has transformed the state but here you are, still in denial🤦♂️
This is nice. You need bigger ship that can take at least 200 passengers at a go.
Weldone. Kudos.
I wonder why nollywood are yet to use these locations in their movies.
I swear, but i think It's because of the procedure one has to go through
Bro. You’re doing an excellent work. Kudos.
Thank you so much. It means alot..
Beautiful site 😍
Well done, Lagos. This has been a long time coming
good job guys; we need this too in Cotonou
Yes.. very true... we should begin to think of ferry system between west African countries
Thank you for this nice piece, however, please note that Eko Bridge was opened in 1969 by the then Major General Yakubu Gowon, construction was done by Julius Berger.
Honestly, Nigeria is really moving forward. We shall get to our promise Land in Jesus mighty name!
Kudos to Lagos State Government!
Great video ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks alot. i really appreciate the follow
thank you very much show us some rich estates
Thats great ❤
Thank you
One magical thing about Lagos is: is a country 😅. No state in Nigeria not even FCT can match Lagos. Smart city. I hope Ogun will earnest the potentials fully.
Abuja can match lagos
Port Harcourt càn match lagos
The only diff is lagos is close to riverrine area,Atlantic ocean is very clos to lagos
Lagos has been existing before all these states i mention
If govt invest more in other state,they would surpasss lagos by far
@@Jesse4allthat is the point government isn’t investing (federal government which you mean) it’s all done by Lagos state government and that is exactly what the commenter meant. I lived in Abuja and Lagos for some years while I was in Nigeria, I also spent part most of my holidays in Portharcourt (siblings). I can say this clearly, nowhere compares to Lagos and that is a fact. I like Akwa Ibom for its neatness and clean roads.
@@Jesse4allPort Harcourt also is close to Atlantic ocean, riverine areas etc even more than Lagos. They even have oil and gas with higher federal allocation than Lagos
He has a big both and still he said they do moderate speed but the canoe in saba that killed the actor and his crew members was busy flying as if it was a jet.
It's just so sad bro... I pray for peace with his family
Recklessness caused it
Good job. Keep it up 👍

Very nice video bro. Great editing
Thank you So much oooo... I really Appreciate...
...super video. Small point of correction - Eko Bridge (officially named the "2nd Mainland Bridge") was opened in 1969, not 1975. I can 100% confirm that I used the bridge long before 1975. And just in case you're wondering, the original Carter Bridge (built in 1901!) was the "1st Mainland Bridge". It was dismantled and replaced in the 1970s by the current Carter Bridge. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for this information I really appreciate... I am glad you enjoyed the video... kindly please subscribe for more contents like this
@@menapolee ...done. Thanks.
As we grow older, our memories can play tricks on us. Eko Bridge opened in 1974/75, so the young man was correct on that. Your reference of 1969 might have been when the project was launched. I was a frequent user when it was newly opened, because it saved me from Carter bridge. The extension of the bridge to join the Lagos ring road (then under development did not happen until about 1980 or even later) - I refer to the area that caught fire 2 years ago, that has been shut down since (don't know if it has been reopened now).
Lastly from Memory, Eko Bridge, was apparently the project that brought Julius Berger into Nigeria, and they never left after that. Even though Eko Bridge was a federal project, I sometimes confused it for a Lagos State project due to the closeness of Mobolaji Johnson to Julius Berger, and he used them in many other Lagos State projects. MB later became Chairman of Julius Berger, I think. When Muritala Mohammed suddenly sacked Gowon's government in July 1975, Johnson had no place to go (like many Gowon's governors, he had no house), it was JB who came to Johnson's aid by getting him an apartment, before he eventually made his own arrangements.
@@menapolee I have also subscribed too. I am an older Lagosian from Lagos Island.
@@idowumohammed4689 ...thank you for your comment and civil tone. I am unable to add anything to the Mobolaji Johnson story, but maintain that Eko Bridge was *definitely* opened pre-1975.
To be precise, the contract was signed in 1965 and the First Phase commisioned in 1968. This phase consisted of the actual bridge spanning Ajara River (yes, that is the official name of the stretch of water between Lagos Lagoon and Lagos Harbour) with ramps at Costain on the mainland and Ebute-Ero on Lagos Island.
Other additions to the project (Iganmu, Western Avenue, Apongbon axes, etc.) that relate to the 1975 'opening' came later.
MTN Nigeria developed the five cowries terminal and gave it to the Lagos State Government. It is necessary to mention that too. Well Done bro!!!
Oh really, didn't know.. thanks alot man... kindly subscribe please
They did not "give" it to Lagos State. Stop spreading nonsense. It was a tax credit whereby instead of MTN paying taxes due Lagos state, they opted to invest the funds in public projects. Dangote and quite a few other companies are doing the same.
@@ade-ade You just ended up saying thrash. Tax holiday because of Jetty....Na wa o!
This is called CSR.......
Numerous benefits for individuals and society 👌
Absolutely you got it right
Thanks for sharing this current developments in our lovely Lagos , it's all beautiful when it's new but the most important thing is maintenance. Nigerian government is good at building new stuff but then fails to maintain it . Proper upkeep is a must .
That's true.. But I believe they plan on maintaining these new infrastructure
This terminal is over 6yrs. People have been using five cowries for like 6yrs. I bet you're not aware of that.
Nice
Thanks alot
Nice… love it.
Thank you so much My Boss
I'm still looking for the boat thats in the title.😂😂. Bruh why the click bait picture. I still would've watched it if you showed the real boat.😂😁
Also 4th mainland bridge is the 4th one
Oh yes correct, but it's not completes yet
The freshest air you will ever feel is on a boat ride.
😂😂😂this is so true... its as though I was breathing for the first time
Thanks
Nice olave but we need proper ferries like in Amsterdam and Beijing.
Yes very true. I believe we are getting there
Not sure Beijing has ferries though, it's an inland city...
You can come and invest the money you made packing shit abroad. Don't leave everything to the government, Lebanese and Indian investors. Let the change begin with you. Talk is cheap.
@@FERESE
Talk is cheap indeed!
👍
There’s nothing Inposible to achieve in Lagos by the government Lagos alone can produce 2 of Dubai and no limits to Lagos dimensions Lagos is supposed to be a country a lone is beyond a city no state 🎉in the whole federation generate same income as Lagos it has been a state of working capital for Nigeria not for the government my fear is adequate mentainals
Its funny how Nigerians get so excited over simple things like ferries and trains that are seen commonly all over the world in Malaysia, India and other developing countries 😂😂😂😂
Question, what if you are a professional swimmer and diver must you wear that life jacket? What if I bring my world certification for diving do I still have to wear that floater that non swimmers wear? No vex it’s an honest question. Because for me I it makes no sense. I am an underwater diver and welder. ( US navy) all in all this is good development for our people. Na honest question O! No be jab. Before someone say I dey flex. lol
So you go swim from ikoyi to ikorodu because you're an underwater diver. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
@@classicroadstars lol that is not what I mean, you are funny. I meant just in case there’s an accident not everybody can swim. Some people can swim so those who can swim she’ll be able to not put on a lifejacket. No be quarrel na lol
All this ur qualifications and yet asking the kind of question an illiterate will ask..sigh and common sense dictates legally a boat should have life jacket for all the passengers so which one is give my jacket to someone that can't swin..smh
" Ferry boat you never heard of". "Pilot". You have a career as a comedian 😅
😂😂😂Pilot for more respect.. hope you enjoyed the video
He did say "boat captain" later, which is correct.
@@menapolee
Captain is the correct title.
@JanJan-pq4im It's his job to edit your content and make corrections before posting, not yours to make excuses for him. Calling the captain a pilot was just one of the issues. "This is not EUROPE" caption for tiny small boats was also laughable
@@Goforit2nite
I have no idea what set you off. I just made an innocent comment.
Take a chill pill.
Oya go back and show us the new ferry / boat 😅
Lol
😂😂😂
Is Eastern governors not seeing this?
Those eastern governors are village men and killers
They are getting there gradually. Nigeria as a whole must be great,
What is wrong with you? Lagos has far more revenue than all the eastern states combined. What about SW? North? SS? why do you people harbour so much hate towards the east? 🤮
This Lagos was Nigerians capital for almost 80 years, and the whole of Nigeria resources from each state was being invested in Lagos.
Abuja has been capital of Nigeria for just 32 years go and see how great and beautiful Abuja is, if you choose any eastern state as capital of Nigeria for just 20 years and imagine how beautiful it will turn out.
No they are busy insulting Lagos n other parts
Thumbnail very deceptive
Is the video also deceptive? Dey play
We don't care about all that until they rehouse people from Makoko slumps 😕
Interesting you mentioned this. We are currently working on showcasing Makoko. We hope it will contribute towards a change for the community.
Are you familiar with Makoko? Your experience and thoughts can help inform our content.
You don't care about positive developments but only negatives. Shows your mindset. The people of Màrọkọ́ matter of course, but to discount positive development is just plain stupidity and bitterness.
Have you re'housed people in your own ghettos .. and who told you attempt has not been made to revise makoko. They don't want to leave
