| My Road Trip From Lagos To Owerri And Back. by Nobody: 9:33am On May 17, 2016 |
I was supposed to post this last Thursday morning but for some reasons my network was misbehaving and message couldn't be posted. Set out date: Thursday may 12 2016 Car: 2005 Honda accord i4 Time: 6:30am. Work done one car: Changed the right shaft Changed ball joints to avoid stories that touch (its a Honda lol). Changed all brake pads Changed downstream o2 sensor because I was getting p0138 o2 sensor circuit high voltage and p2271 o2 sensor signal stuck rich. I was getting erratic fuel economy and car was sluggish. After changing things went to normal, drove in Lagos for 2 days light didn't come back. Car is in factory specs, radiators, fans, etc are factory spec. Stay tuned for updates. |

My instrument cluster in the morning before leaving. Yes I know my abs light is on, been trying to solve this but couldn't get it fixed before trip so I'll tackle it on my return. Trip A rest to 0.0 so I can monitor my total distance traveled. 1 Like

| Re: My Road Trip From Lagos To Owerri And Back. by Nobody: 7:25pm On May 17, 2016 |
UPDATE. From ijebu ode to ore was rough, that road needs serious work. U can't go more than 50km/hr on most parts. I was lucky there was no traffic though as people that traveled the previous day experienced serious traffic. Also same normal thing... Lots or check points going while little or no police checkpoints on the other side of the road. I wonder why it is like that. I think the main cause of traffic on that road is drivers driving against traffic. There was a time i traveled that road and spent 3 hours stuck to one spot. Reason? Just because a driver decided to take one way, then Every other driver will follow, then people driving through one way trying to overtake each other thereby taking up 2 lanes and the whole thing getting jammed up. This happens a lot on this road. Both sides of the roads are bad, there will be less traffic if drivers maintain their own side of the road in my opinion. |

Terrible state of ijebu ode - ore road.

timilehing: Ha ha. For some people it is a big deal. (Or maybe not ). U travel that long on a weekly basis because u have to. I can't just put my car on a long distance every week just for the need of it do I ? Last year I went to owerri from Lagos 3 times. This is my first time this year SBD that's the farthest distance I've traveled driving myself. |

Dang... My check engine light came on after getting to ore. Scanned it and it is that dreaded p0139 o2 sensor circuit slow response. I hate this light... I just changed the damn o2 sensor. Gazzuzz Abeg can u shed more lights on this. Car has become a little sluggish and it is wasting fuel. I cleared the code and continued after a few minutes, car was working like normal again. |
| Re: My Road Trip From Lagos To Owerri And Back. by Nobody: 7:43pm On May 17, 2016 |
It felt good driving on good roads from ore to Benin. Maximum speed 130km/hr. Omo I have become so slow oh. I use to do 170km/hr on this road with same car. Maybe because I have my family in my car Lol. Life is precious. |
| Re: My Road Trip From Lagos To Owerri And Back. by Nobody: 7:46pm On May 17, 2016 |
Well, enjoying that good road lasted only about 20km. Just about 1km ahead there was thick heavy smoke, looks like a tanker just caught fire. This is fresh as the smoke was very thick and vigorous. Road was shut down. No vehicle coming no vehicle going. Everything was at a stand still.. Nobody dares go near that fire.

| Re: My Road Trip From Lagos To Owerri And Back. by Nobody: 7:49pm On May 17, 2016 |
More... I had to get out of my car about 1 km away from the fire to try get a glimpse of what was going on.
