TOPSHOT - Commuters sit in a bus and watch driver exchange blows with fellow motorist to further compound the chaotic traffic gridlock at Ojota district of Lagos, on May 9, 2019. - Lagos residents are groaning in pains as a result of the worsening chaotic traffic congestion following a gradual return of raining season during which most roads are unreliable due to flooding and poor drainages, pot holes, bad road, trading activities, on-street packing, loading and discharging of passengers on the road, illegal bus stops and vehicle breakdown. Congestions are accompanied by noise and air pollution and the high costs associated with burning of fuels from stationary vehicles. Motorists spend an average four hours each day to commute from their place of work for a 15 km journey in Lagos metropolis, Nigeria's commercial nerve centre. (Photo by PIUS UTOMI EKPEI / AFP)
