Niger Bridge, Onitsha. Never seen any bridge like this in Nigeria.

So much for vehicles leaving Onitsha. Mobile Policemen and FRSC were on hand to help. If not, I may still be there by now grin

It started raining just before Ife. The Camrys exhaust was hitting the road n owner didn't care. Thank God I spent some fixing mine

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 5:23pm On Jan 05, 2014
Had to use wipers. Again good enough I changed mine before this trip.

Hawkers at Ife round about. They were abusing us while taking these pictures especially the guy hawking phone charger grin

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 5:35pm On Jan 05, 2014
Ife round about is also notable for Hot "akara" (beans cake). I didn't buy but what attracted to the liquid in Green bottles cheesy

This pedestrian bridge at Ikire Osun State is of no use. A waste of tax payers money. So many bumps there

I would personally use the pedestrian bridge.

Zebra crossings in Nigeria are deadly, even in the cities. You use them, and find yourself running forwards, or jumping back to the kerb, to avoid being struck by vehicles driven fast, by drivers who just don't care. They have little or no intention of stopping.

Guy i triple taya for u. Traffic light for what kpanu? I don't see any crossroads or junction . Moreover that looks like a 3 lane highway. Even if its not a highway, the pedestrian bridge is the safest way to cross to the other side. If that bridge is not there and a vehicle knocks someone down, u will be the first to say why didn't goodluck build a pedestrian bridge.

The ancient City of Ife. I think that should be Oduduwa

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 10:32pm On Jan 05, 2014
This red honda was moving at a snail speed of about 60km. I was a bit frustrated queuing behind him because I had to change my gear which is not fun cheesy

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 10:36pm On Jan 05, 2014
A scene of an accident between dis car and Toyota Picnic. I couldn't capture d other car. It was NOT fatal.

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 10:41pm On Jan 05, 2014
Benin - Ore highway, relatively low traffic

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 10:50pm On Jan 05, 2014
I was even over taking a V8 vehicle grin

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 10:51pm On Jan 05, 2014
Stopped at Ore to take snacks and buy banana

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 10:57pm On Jan 05, 2014
I stopped in front of this church to pee, the church service had just finished so the worshiper were trooping out.

I noticed something very unique with the church.

What did you notice?
Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 10:57pm On Jan 05, 2014
I discovered that most of the female worship peers in this church ride bikes. The worst thing was that they carry minimum of two passengers on their bike and be going on the very busy Benin - Asaba highway. A bus very nearly knocked down on of such riders carrying 3 passengers.

It was a very peculiar sight as you can see in the pictures. I could have got more but that place looked very dangerous to me because anything could happen.

A closer look at the river niger and the bridge

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 11:27pm On Jan 05, 2014
I covered a total distance of 460km from my take off point in Ibadan to my destination in Anambra State. I can't post my odometer reading because I took the snap shot with my iPad and the picture is heavy.

The journey took about 7hrs which includes 30mins spent at ore and few other places I stopped.

Did you encounter any miscreants at the Benin bypass? It seems they don't work on Sundays.
Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by JUO(m): 6:05am On Jan 06, 2014
Thanks for feeding my eyes. What is the max speed you can achieve between Benin and asaba without fear with this machine?

JUO: Thanks for feeding my eyes. What is the max speed you can achieve between Benin and asaba without fear with this machine?

The highest I did was 140km/hr but maintained 120km/hr for most part of the journey.

aieromon: Did you encounter any miscreants at the Benin bypass? It seems they don't work on Sundays.

No I did not encounter them but I was very vigilant
Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 9:47am On Jan 06, 2014
My car started jerking while on Niger bridge. I was afraid that it could go off though it later stopped and fortunately the engine did not switch off. The problem was a failed sensor as I later discovered.

I was greedy not to have noticed that earlier. You want to know how..... grin
