Am also interested in the dash-mounted Camera.

I did a similar thing in my trip to East from Abuja, this past 2012 Easter break, with my Lion too. I created an Album for it in my Facebook. You will find the pics very interesting too.

I would love to get the dash-mounted camera, since i will be doing another Abuja-Enugu highway drive soon. But would be nice to take the pictures with my Nokia 808 PureView with 41 Megapixel, though.

intercom: Am very happy with the roads transformation of Chief Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State, I wish other governors would join him in this agenda. Concerning the issue of the poor state of Ikot Epene road from Abia state, it is a federal road and i would advise a call on the both state governors to jointly approach the federal government and solicit for fund to get the road repaired. I just came back from journey and i have a practical knowledge of what i am talking about

About that, Governor Godswill Akpabio recently got the nod from Federal Government to carry out construction of the AKS axis (Ikot Ekpene) of that road... I believe construction will commence next year...and reimbursement will be made after completion. May be, Abia State Govt will have to follow suit for the remaining section of the road.

I am not sure what this is about but it looks more like an EGO ride.
I have been to Akwa Ibom and Enugu, by far, Enugu is more cosmopolitan and have better inner access roads and structures than Akwa ibom.
It appears the intent of this thread besides the Ego ride is to praise AK by making Enugu especially look bad. I am not from either of the states but if I were to settle anywhere in the east, it will definitely be Enugu not AK. I was hoping to see some realy bad roads in the inner suburbs only for you to take pictures of federal roads and rural roads on the outskirts and compare them with inner town roads in AK.

It is all too familiar to not notice the bias. If your intent was to compare the level of developments in these states, then do it with objectivity and equality, don't compare apples with oranges.
Try again next time. AK is cool though.

Oga... if I was comparing Enugu State to Akwa ibom State, The title of my post would have been ROADS IN Enugu State and IN Akwa Ibom State (Notice i left out the words "Pug, Journey, Enugu, To, Uyo )and this would have been in the travel section not cartalk.
I am not comparing the states... merely snapped pics of my journey.
You have the right to wish to settle anywhere in Nigeria... thats entirely up to you.
Maybe I ought to lend you a leaf...
...Sometimes, I read posts/topics on Nairaland which in my opinion are pure bollocks... What i do is just to shake my head and move on without dropping nasty or sarcastic comments... You should do the same.
if you do want to criticize, then do so constructively and we'll all appreciate it, and then next time, it will be done better by me or others who would like to do journey pic stories as well.
And if you feel i am showing off... what if I am...?? Its my car, its my topic, its within the scope of the "car talk" section and to borrow from a certain dude... grin, its my "MBs"
...and Apples CAN be compared to Oranges... all depends on which properties you want to compare-they're both fruits.

You failed to understand difference between city and highway roads.

Long distance journey is not about the city one takes off from. Its about the things one encounters on the highway or on the road before one gets to his final destination. Were you expecting him to start the picture taking from the room he slept in Enugu the morning he zoomed off? You would say that if the thread was about a diary; what happened in his life that day. The topic was very explicit "... Journey from Enugu to Uyo". That is, what happened between Enugu and Uyo with his Lion, on his way. The towns that came up in the pics were there because he had to pass them before he gets to Uyo. If it was a straight smooth isolated highway, would you have seen those towns you have problems with? I grew up in Awka & Enugu; i still visit Enugu often. In fact, Enugu town is always my first destination each town i travel down to East, since i drive only on Abuja-Enugu highway to East (Never taken Lokoja-Onitsha highway & ain't interested). So i know how good Enugu is. But i didnt read meaning into what you guys are insinuating. Because a petrolhead interest is not about the towns, but the car and roads in question. Is that too difficult to understand?

Is natural for one to take a final picture of his ride when he/she arrives his/her final destination. I would do the same. In fact, i did the same in my own Album i created in my Facebook.

I dont know why its very difficult for some people to understand the difference between Car Talk and Politics section, where almost everyone there have inferiority complex issues. Always looking for who is looking down on you or who is your Anti-tribe or state. Like i have pointed out, this is car talk section. Before you comment, first check for the section you are in. We have our own way discussion which is non tribal or non political. If you cant stand our maturity, let us be.

Guy call it what you like and act so unassuming and harmless, the fact still remains that your attempt is a subtle diss at the governments of those other two states, Enugu especially.

it is so glaring that underneath all that light gist about your journey and car, is the real motive of the thread: Akwa Ibom is working and the government of the other two states are not doing anything-not that I have a problem with your uncanny attempt, my grouse is the fact you had to do it in guise of talking about your car while you hit below the belt at these other states.

Even if it is generally agreed Abia state has the worst government in the east hence your subtle snide remarks about Abia state, thesame argument can't be surreptitously extended to Enugu, you over did it and made your bias and motive so obvious when you extended it to Enugu state.

Enugu State in my opinion is the finest eastern state with enviable infrastructures and social life comparable to may be Portharcourt. Akwa Ibom is ok too but has nothing on Enugu that's the ugly truth. So grotesquely highliting inter-state roads-whether express, state or federal roads in these two states in a list of suggestive pictures while hailing and showing off newly constructed ones in AK is disingenous and an inglorious attempt to hit below the belt.
Your picture story is vague and unbalanced and can easily be misinterpreted as evidenced from some of the posts here.
I just had to point it out cos I see where this is going, already some posters have started clumping the performing Enugu state goverment with Abia's, that is so not fair on Chime who as far as performance is concerned has been the most performing in the east giving the meagre allocation to Enugu and the level of what he has achieved in Enugu. Akwa Ibom seems like is working the most because like Rivers and Lagos, they have a chunky allocation to work with.
You seriously do not need to Abia or Enugu state to look mediocre to make AK look dashing and desirable, it already is.

As for whether you are showing off, of course you are, it is expected and understandable, infact, that is the reason for this section. I will do thesame if I had the time too. . .lol. . I aint hating or sth, just telling the obvious.

guy you are taking your moderator job too seriously to the point you are fighting the urge to throw childish tantrums. Our opinions on issues do not have to be thesame, whatever your interpretations of the picture story is, they are your opinions and I respect them, you are voicing them too, I would appreciate if you also respect mine and don't get borderline forceful and resorting to threat. The op sounds even more mature than you in his response yet you are supposed to be a Moderator and not take sides with an argument. Your job is not to moderate my opinions but to make sure they do not go against the rules here. Whether there is a hint of politics in my post it is immaterial, and you indulge in thesame politics of complexes when you accuse majority of posters on that section as having inferiority complex.
Abeg tone down with the anger and force in your tone, it is beclouding your judgement as moderator, you don't have to like my views but if they don't go against the rules of engagement here, it is your duty to make sure I air them.
Thank you.

Oga I am not or was not (whichever) attempting to denigrate any Government with regards to the roads. There are a lot of reasons why roads go bad, with both the Govt, and the people being guilty at times. My remark about God's own State had nothing to do with the state of the Road because almost all the roads i traveled on (including the road on which i made that remark) are federal Roads.
FYI I grew up in Enugu from way back in the early eighties and lived/schooled/worked there up to December 2011, so if anybody should be conversant with the pace of development there, then I should be the one (except you also grew up there and are older than i am). I will not be dragged into who is performing better than who...thats not the point of this section. Sullivan has tried immensely in some aspects so has Orji in his own way, so have Okorocha and Akpabio in their own ways.
like I said countless times, my story was unplanned... im-promptu, It only occurred to me to start snapping pics after I had gotten petrol @ the Mega Station which as you know is outside Enugu town.
Maybe you could suggest what could be done better next time. Even if you don't have the time, some other jobless grin peeps like me who like to show off would be happy to take note of your corrections without any hard feelings and effect them.
Can we please end this here....
I apologize if some of my remarks on the pics seemed subtly insultive.

Almost close to what i usually spend on Abuja-Enugu highway. About 7 hrs though, in my case.

I would leave by 6am and arrive Enugu at 1pm. The same on my way back to Abuja. Its about 500+ km.
