Dude, Lagos to Ilorin is just 4hrs. Max 5. Why would u do 8hrs on the road. With ur 8hrs am already in Abuja. Except u encountered traffic. And the places that would happen are ogere, and ibadan. You won't find traffic anywhere after that. Still made this trip last week in july.

Wallie: Just came back a couple of days ago from a trip up north

Maryland -> Delaware -> New Jersey -> New York -> Connecticut -> Massachusetts -> New Hampshire -> Vermont -> Montreal QC -> Trois Rivieres QC

850 miles (1368 km) one way which is about 14 hours with no traffic but it probably took me about 17 hours to get back due to heavy snowfall in parts of Canada and Vermont.

I'm sure there are people that will easily beat the 850 mile distance as I know some people drive from the West Coast to the East Coast (2800 miles – 40 hours no traffic). I intend on trying it someday!


Wait, wait, wait, Waaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiit!!!! 40 HOURS, F O R T Y HOURS? within a Country. Common I know USA is continental but you mean it stretches that WIDE?
Re: The Longest Road Trip You've Driven? by Chrislaug(m): 7:11am On Aug 20, 2013
The longest trip I've ever embarked on with my car was on Sept 23rd 2012. I left Lagos to Mali by road. I crossed Seme border after d necessary paper work it took me nearly 20 hrs. to pass Benin Republic, then I entered Burkina Faso...the journey was exhilirating...had a little issue @ their border. Spent some money there. Next destination was Mali. Altogether I spent 52 hrs driving.
No place like Naija. I love my country.
