• A Nigerian man has sparked reactions after spotting a school bus arriving at an estate in Lagos at 5:30am to pick up pupils.
• The early-morning school run has triggered a debate on social media, with some Nigerians questioning the arrangement while others said it was a way to avoid the city’s notorious traffic.

A Nigerian man has sparked reactions on social media after spotting a school bus arriving at an estate in Lagos at 5:30am to pick up pupils.

The incident has triggered discussions among Nigerians on X, with many questioning why schoolchildren have to leave their homes so early in the morning to get to school.

While some described the arrangement as unreasonable, others suggested that the early pickup could help pupils avoid the heavy traffic that often affects movement across Lagos.

One user claimed that some school buses arrive as early as 4am, while another questioned whether the pupils attended school in Ghana because of the unusually early schedule.

Others expressed concern about the effect of such routines on children, with some saying they would not want to put their own children through a similar experience.

The incident has once again drawn attention to the challenges of commuting in Lagos, where traffic congestion often forces residents to leave home hours before their intended arrival time.

However, the name of the school involved and the reason for the 5:30am pickup were not established in the information available.
