In my view, the only reason that is cogent is the condition of your car.

nurey:


This incidents occur at night to early hours of the morning let's say 8pm upto 6am. The roads are bad so you can't zoom when the thief attack because of difference in wheel and shocks the luxurious bus has more advantage than even trailers better ground clearance and badass acceleration. There is a way to know robbery is going on its by not seeing on coming traffic again or those who experience and escaped will warn.

The most annoying is the last one happened around 4am and there were 4 police check point around and non of them decided to intervene even after been told.
As we were passing we saw an hiace bus and a car beside the Bush, a trailer in front of us suddenly men jumped from the Bush they hid at first because of the headlamp light as they came out we heard oya stop there that's when I woke up and several gun shots, the driver swerved left and zoomed away I nearly rolled down the steps. But we warned other vehicles and they decided to find another route or wait for the thing to clear.

The thieves take advantage of the bad road to rob unsuspecting motorists and passengers who saw the police said they had no guns, that they lent it to the thieves to operate with and pay them later

That road isnt funny at all, its a town between Owo and Akure . Thank God for his mercies. Those boys disguised with some yeye road blocks and it was around the harmattan period,so there was fog. My mum was just sharp enough to scale through, i was telling her to slow down because of the road block by the police men. Later on we just reasoned it was the bad guys. My mum just overtook one ford hummer bus. The guys rammed our windscreen and started throwing water melon at us. We lost all the side mirrors,windscreen and front facia. It was only our sienna and the ford hummer that escaped( his car carried one thick wood that caused a damage to his radiator). Policemen were about 10km from the scene and started asking questions with about 50 people that escaped. The man that drove the ford started singing one ibo song. My family of 4 was the only yoruba the rest were northerners. My sister and mum were the only women there, they could speak hausa so they mingled in no time. I was just reading their lips as i could neither speak nor understand hausa.

I spoke to a driver within the week who collaborates your story.

He says Lagos Abuja is deadly due to the bad spots you spoke of.

He hates that route because those bad spots make good business for kidnappers and thieves.

Lately it seems that there is an upsurge in such crimes.

I read somewhere on this board, I guess the thread on how long one can drive in hours, that driving interstate/long distance in Nigeria is a task that must be done and gotten over ASAP because of the dangers on the road.

In the light of the above, it would seem that the concept of enforcing speed limits on our highways is an extremely dangerous thing to do and may cause more harm than it will prevent, and should never see the light of day since Nigerian roads are not secure.

The northern parts are safe. It is easy to leave Lagos and move down north, even if you can't make the journey in a day, you can sleep by the road, it's always busy even till 2 to 3am in the early morning and secured. The northerners prefer to beg or toil for money than rob.

The reverse is the case down south we are just too smart and use every opportunity to oppress others. What you notice is all the rubbish uniform men try in the southwest they can't try it in the north. You hardly hear that thieves rob in the north within towns. If you don't meet thieves in the southwest, be ready for ritualists, area thugs, corrupt uniform men or just a tout looking for a way to rip you off.

But with all this God is the protector, I will still do the same journey when needed over and over again, because when God says it's time nobody can argue.
