I never cross 120km/h
If I reach 140km, na mistake.
130km/h is my best in the crazy Nigerian highways.
Last week I did 160km on Lagos - Ibadan tho.
Honda Accord 2006 is it.

Any Japanese car can do wonders in the hands of a competent driver. Sometimes, it is not about what is under the hood, it is who is behind the wheels. Sometimes oo
okay when they start winning F1 races and Le Man's grand tour then I can take those things serious


As of now...VW, BMW, BENZ etc is the right

Mine was the day I boarded a bus from Lagos to Owerri. I sat at the front seat number two ( the VIP position) at a point when we approached Benni bypass, this driver started doing 165km/hr.

My uncle once told me that anything above 125 km/hr is death sentence.

I had to point the speedometer for the driver to see, and he was laughed it off and told me to forget that thing.


Another experience was when talking a car to Lagos from Owerri.

The driver I paid to drive me was experienced. We arrived that same Benin, and this guy did 210 km/h, it was like the fuel was zapping and the exhaust sound was light.

Dem no born any other car make e pass us, but I was surprised to see a man in his Hyundai passed us.

I guess that one was doing about 240 km/h.

I had to tell him to reduce and not cross 120km/h and above.


Share your experience and advise to people who would want to do that one day.

I advise drivers to lower their speed. Speed kills.

The first one happened in 2016, while my second experience was in 2019.

So people go fast in Germany cos of emergency response?
Or the autobahn isn't isn't speed limited because lawmakers in Germany thought of emergency response? undecided
Might interest you to know there are more fatal crashes in North America than Germany.
Germans have proven time and again that they're just not into bullshit,
End of story.

My point is health care in Nigeria is not good enough for someone to be risking his life top speeding on poorly maintained roads.

It doesn't matter if Germany has low accident rate than the US, you cannot compare health services available in both to what is obtainable in Nigeria.

I wouldn't call myself a very fast driver, but, I hold my own. In 2018/19, when I was still doing contract driving jobs, I drove a woman and her kids from Ibadan to osogbo. On the way, I saw a BMW 5 series in front of me, having faith in the v6 evil spirit, I increased my speed and overtook it. (I later found out a woman was behind the wheels). The thing sweet me. cool

Suddenly, it started looking like the BMW was gaining. She finally leveled up, but, before she sped off, she looked at me with one yeye smile like this and off she went! cheesy grin shocked. She went away so fast I doubted my speedometer. grin You know when you are on 110/115 and a car overtakes you like you are on 60kmh! angry I was so angry! I wanted to chase, but, I was reminded that, "na inside Honda we dey o and that's a 5 series BMW in the hands of a wicked woman". grin grin. I just took my L in peace.

I respected BMW more that day and I certainly feared women more! grin

Not really, she runs on 60km/hr or 70

See what I have been reading on page 1 and 2. 160- 200km-275 km/h

I thought speed limit was between 80-100kmph on expressway. I don't think can't sit in a vehicle driving more than 110kmph max, doesn't matter if the road is smooth like Lagos Ibadan expressway.

I hope some people won't be encouraged by this thread to do fast and furious with their vehicles, sha remember we barely have emergency response oo and there are other cray people on that road.

I means you work as corporate driver for private persons or organizations. You dress corporate and all. (Behind stuffs). Also, you don't work 24/7 like the normal drivers and you don't do all those menial jobs the normal drivers do. There is going to be an agreement on whether its city driving or inter state as the case may be.
I love this... I'm sure there's non here in Nigeria?

From this thread, it is evident that our highway is full of people on mission. - suicide and murder missions!

I am beyond shocked see dangerous speeds, I honestly used to think readings beyond 120 kmph on the speedometer should not be attempted at all.

I just remembered driving 2007 Mercedes C230 sport heading to Kaduna from Abuja when I was trying to catch up with lexus ls that passed me but on getting closer I numbed into a hole at 160km/hr luckily it's a familiar hole that made a Hyundai Accent Somersault. But My Driver side Airbag deployed and slaping the hell out of me. I stopped and check my tires and found out I was good and that was how I continued my trip to kd. I still rock that car and doing 160km every now and then on airport Road. PIC BELOW

I remember doing 160Km/h in 2013 with Accord 2007 one saturday morning on 3rd mainlaind just to prove a point to one stubborn lady who was dragging the road with corolla 2005.

It was when I veered to climb Gbagada bridge that it dawned on me that I had oversped to prove a useless point .

Now anytime i see that 3rd mainland bridge water ..i come down to 100km/h immediately and maintain the 2 inner lanes.
