Sunday morning we embarked on the return trip and that's where it started. As I was doing a U turn in front of our inlaws's house it happened. Every EOD driver's worst fear- I heard a loud ku! sound and before I could finish turning the front tire had pulled off, on a Sunday. Luckily we got a mech and luckily he was also able to buy the nut that pulled. Then he tied it with a wire. I wasn't convinced but I accepted. Then we left Benin. Now was around 1pm. All was well until about 2km after the JW headquarters as I attempted to clear for the car's occupants to relieve themselves it pulled again. In the middle of nowhere under the hot sun. Worse my phone had no reception. I had to start begging any passing thing in any direction to take me to anywhere around where I could find a mechanic. Remember this was a Sunday. This was one of the adverse effects of travelling on a Sunday. The merits were the roads were free.

You are most likely the carefree(less) type.

In the middle of nowhere, with a family in the car, you'll accept any fix that can at least get the car out of that spot to the nearest place where there are humans. And he fixed the fallen nut before attempting to bolt it with a metal wire

This is the story of how I spent 5 days on the road between Benin and Abuja because of one car.
First let me say I have never been a fan of the Honda Accord and I have my reasons. I only agreed to travel with this one as it was the only option. I attended a wedding in Benin last week with the car. Left Abuja early Thursday. Before then the car was having minor overheating issues. The temperature rose only once on the way and after letting it cool for about 30mins we continued and made Benin in record time I must say. EOD V6 can run sha.
Got to Benin and did all the running around within Benin Friday and Saturday without any issues. Just once the brake was making sound as I was entering the hotel. I'll not comment on my personal thoughts about Benin.

For the record the moment the joint pulled was the very first time I heard any noise from that area. If this has happened to you you'll agree that it very rarely gives any warning. The car's only issue prior to the journey was minor overheating as I said

ogbiwa:


There's actually a hole in the bolt where you insert a metal wire after fixing the nut. I think the problem was that the nut he bought was not threaded properly that was why it pulled

If you’ve come here looking for sympathy... you will find very little.

Found a tow van. Oga said 12k just to tow the car off the road. I thanked him and left. Then found a hotel nearby and checked my family in. Went back and got men around who helped us push the car away from the roadside to a more convenient spot. Got the head of security in the area who agreed to watch the car overnight for something in return. Made final arrangements for the mechanic who would start work on the engine early next morning. Took the battery out and gave to a battery charger in the area. Retired to the hotel.
