Don't allow temptations of Auchi road to kill your joy, follow 9nth Miles, thru Obollo Affor, down to Ajaokuta.

Asaba Bridgehead

Spent thirty minutes here, resumed journey at 7.55am

Re: Uli, Anambra State To Central Business District, Abuja - Road Trip by AutoElectNG: 9:16am On Jul 19, 2017
I usually take the longer route i.e., the Benin bypass so I was 90% dependent on GPS for navigation and 5% dependent on my co-passenger
and another 5% on questioning bystanders while traversing this new route

My co-passenger overruled the GPS at the first major right turn

Instead of Issele-Uku we used Onicha-Ugbo

However next time I make the trip, I will take Government House Road

I wanted a full tank to take me into Abuja that's why I did not take the Enugu route

As a matter of fact if not for sprinting at 160 to 180 along Lokoja Abuja expressway I believe that I would not have had to top fuel in Kwali (I covered 300 miles [480km] with A/C before the reserve light came on)

It took me 1 hour and 6 minutes to get to the Asaba Head Bridge

I covered 35.6 miles during this stage of the journey

uncle,where are the pictures nau?
Isn't there any story to go along with this journey? cry

I drove another 2 hours 38 minutes covering 67.6 miles before I was stopped by 2 hungry policemen who wanted their palms to be greased.

I lost over 30 minutes at that stop

Full details of the police stop in a subsequent bulletin

Team headed by on S*******

Despite my position that no cash must change hands, I had to part with cash in the end to ensure I could continue my journey but no where near what he had envisaged

This stop is next to a Ministry of Environment signpost - which I unfortunately did not capture, I thought I did

Re: Uli, Anambra State To Central Business District, Abuja - Road Trip by AutoElectNG: 6:18am On Jul 20, 2017
Until the above Police Stop, GPS indicated that I was going to be in Abuja around 2.30pm

After the stop, it changed to 3.30pm

I even have a video of a small portion of the journey... if MTN 4G had worked throughout, I would have recorded the entire trip, but when I tried to stream video from my phone it kept failing....

Those policemen annoyed me so much that it spoilt my mood for the rest of the trip, maybe I should make them pay for their sins...I planned to take more pictures until my mood went south

What did they do?

What did they do?

Tinted permit is said to be the old one

That since I don't have new one I should follow them to the station, I said no problem, or high court or magistrate court, I said no problem

Go now they are not willing to go

Instead I lost 35 minutes in the hope that they make a few thousand from me

They got offended that I tried to call PPCRU wondering why I did not beg and plead instead

Sadly the call failed to go through, its the thick of the forest, network barely registers, after we made peace by my apologizing under duress for trying to in their words call buhari, instead of face them man to man and plead,they said I cannot leave without spending at least 1,000 which I vehemently refused to part with, so in the end he settled for pure water money less than 200, and then I mistakenly canceled a record of the whole show instead of saving their show of shame

Glad to know they're scared of PCRU though.
