Jemima Osunde Blasts Lagos Driver for Driving Against Traffic
Nollywood actress Jemima Osunde has criticised a motorist who allegedly drove against traffic in Lagos, saying she refused to give way to the vehicle despite the resulting delay.
Osunde, in a video shared online, alleged that the driver abandoned his lane to beat traffic congestion and entered a lane designated for motorists heading towards Lekki.
The actress said she deliberately remained in her lane and blocked the vehicle, insisting that traffic congestion should not be used as an excuse to violate road rules.
“I will not leave my lane for you when you are passing one way. I won’t do it. I don’t care if you have police in your car,” Osunde said.
She said she was prepared to spend additional time in traffic rather than encourage motorists to drive against traffic or disregard traffic signals.
“I’m sick of Nigerians just doing anyhow, as if Lagos is not congested enough, without you passing one way and breaking traffic lights,” she said.
Osunde, however, said she would make an exception for vehicles responding to genuine emergencies, including ambulances and fire service trucks.
“Unless you’re an ambulance or a fire truck and emergency service, I will not leave my lane for you when you’re passing one way. I won’t,” she added.
The actress’ comments have reignited the familiar debate over traffic violations in Lagos, where motorists frequently face severe congestion and lengthy travel times, particularly during peak periods.
