 Marissa Bode was 'denied boarding a flight because I'm disabled' Marissa Bode, best known for her role in Wicked, shared on TikTok that she was recently denied boarding a Southern Airways flight because of her wheelchair.  She explained that when she asked gate agents for help locating her boarding pass, they questioned whether she could stand.  After she said no, they told her she could not board since all of the airline’s planes require passengers to climb stairs.  Bode described the experience as “blatant segregation,” criticizing the airline for failing to accommodate disabled travelers.

THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE: LASG TO DIVERT TRAFFIC FOR REPAIRS OF IDENTIFIED FAILED/PEELED ASPHALTIC SECTIONS  



The Lagos State Government has announced a traffic diversion plan for the rehabilitation/repair work on identified failed/peeled asphaltic sections of the Third Mainland Bridge by the Lagos State Public Works Corporation on Sunday, 2nd  April 2023, between 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. 


 A statement signed by the Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde explained that traffic will be diverted from one lane to another lane at the identified failed asphaltic sections on the Bridge. He stressed that this was expedient to solve tailbacks along the bridge at the peak periods as a result of the failed sections.  



While assuring that the State’s Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) would be available to direct traffic to ameliorate the inconveniences, Oladeinde implored Motorists to be patient as the measures taken are aimed at providing quality and safe road infrastructure for everyone.
