Peller compares Uyo roads to Lagos during visit to Akwa Ibom
Nigerian content creator Peller has sparked conversations online after sharing his thoughts on road infrastructure while visiting Uyo.
While touring the city in Akwa Ibom State, Peller praised the condition of the roads, noting that they appeared smooth and free of potholes.
He contrasted the experience with what he described as the road situation in Lagos, questioning why the commercial hub does not have similar road conditions.
He said:
“But why Lagos no wan dey like this? Lagos people are just over-wise, but when it comes to roads, other states have more beautiful roads with no potholes. I can buy Benz and drive here, one year nothing will happen. No pot holes.”
