I am preparing to take a Luxurious night bus from Abuja to Aba in Abia state.



I have already booked the ticket for N5100.





The bus is due to depart by 8pm this night.




The bus is very new and has air condition(AC).



What an enjoyable journey it will be!

Abuja to Aba

After waiting and expecting to go in a new AC bus,an old bus was brought.


Every body was shocked because most of us bought the ticket with the assurance by the management that we were going with the new AC bus.


We had been taken in by their deception.


Even the driver could not so much as look us in the face.


We started the journey by 8:25pm.


Presently,the bus has reached Gwagwalada and is loading attachment.


Time now is 10:09pm

I am not going to say that the company is GUO

Re: Travelling For Pleasure From Kano To Uyo by beauty7: 3:16pm On Sep 03, 2019
The bus drove via Okpanam Asaba on the benin-asaba highway and reached Asaba.

It then went via onitsha-asaba highway and met a terrible hold up lasting more than one hour.


The hold up continued via oshimili south LG ,past the sign "way to utchi clan" in Ndokwa east LG of delta state.


Hold up continued closed to Niger bridge


The bus then climbed the Niger bridge into onitsha.


There I saw the river niger flowing from east to west.

Arrived onitsha by1:17pm


The luxurious bus broke down completely in onitsha forcing some Aba bound passengers to look for alternative way of getting to Aba



I am currently in onitsha preparing to go Akwa ibom through Aba
Re: Travelling For Pleasure From Kano To Uyo by beauty7: 11:44pm On Sep 03, 2019
I left onitsha for Aba by about 5:30pm and the bus passed via obosi near ukwalla kingdom in obosi

We drove on the onitsha-owerri double lane road and passed via:

The the sign "Fareware from oba,the land of success"


We also drove via the following villages/towns/structures on the double lane onitsha-owerri road:

Idimili south LGA

Ibolo oraifite

The sign 'Fareware from oraifite'

Amorka


All the aforementioned towns,villages,structures are in Anambra.

Re: Travelling For Pleasure From Kano To Uyo by beauty7: 11:58pm On Sep 03, 2019

Re: Travelling For Pleasure From Kano To Uyo by beauty7: 1:35pm On Sep 04, 2019
Aba to Uyo journey:

I entered bus in Aba by 7am going to uyo.

It drove on Ikot ekpene road in Aba via the following villages/towns in Abia:

obingwa LGA wherein I saw the following villages in obingwa LGA:

Alaoji

ukpakiri

ohanze

umuibe

At umuibe,the bus left the highway and entered an untarred village road by the right.

It is because a portion of the Aba-Ikot ekpene highway is so bad that motors must divert and pass through the village road.


It took us deep into the following villages:

umudosi

umuokeny

umuiroma

okealangwa


we spent more than an hour in these interior villages, before we came out again on the highway at Nlagu.


Then we reached the boundary between Abia and Akwa ibom states.

There is a military check point on this boundary.
Re: Travelling For Pleasure From Kano To Uyo by beauty7: 1:59pm On Sep 04, 2019
After the check point,we entered Akwa ibom state and drove via the following villages/towns in Akwa ibom:

Essien udim LGA wherein I saw the following:

Ikot Ineme

odoro ikot

ukana

ukana odoro ikot

Nsasak afaha

Ikot ukpong etor

Essien ukana

We then entered Ikot ekpene LGA

To us from Ikot ekpene LGA,the real name of the LGA is Ikot apene which means "The bush of cassava".

Ikot means 3 things namely:

(1) People,
Ikot Abasi(The people of GOD)


(2) Descendant
Ikot Otu(The descendant of Otu)


(3) Bush
Ikot ekpene(The bush of cassava or cassava bush)
Re: Travelling For Pleasure From Kano To Uyo by beauty7: 2:21pm On Sep 04, 2019
As the bus drove via Ikot ekpene LGA, I saw the following villages/towns enroute uyo(the Akwa ibom state capital):

Ntak inyang


Ikot osurua


Ifuho


Ikot udoh


Ibiakpan


utu ikpe


Ikpe ikot akpan


Ikpe annang


otoro abak


Ikot etuk udo

Nung udoe itak


Ikono LGA

Ikot ada idem

Ikot osukpong

Ikot mbang

Then Uyo.

Arrived home safely by 10:22am



CONCLUSION:

All through the journey from Sokoto to Akwa ibom,I only wrote the villages and towns I was able to see and those I know on the road.


Of course there are so many villages and towns which I dont know and could not see on the road.

Glory be to GOD

op when will you post the pics?You have been promising since to post pictures of akwa ibom and uyo.What is "by and by" self?
I have been following your thread since.
Re: Travelling For Pleasure From Kano To Uyo by beauty7: 4:20pm On Sep 29, 2019
'By and by' according to dictionary means 'soon'.

Remember the song that says:

'by and by when the morning comes.
When the saints shall be gathered at rest.
We will tell the story how we overcome.
We will understand it better by and by.

That 'by and by' in the song means 'soon'.

What i am saying is that i will post the pictures soon.

Not that I don't have the wherewithal to buy a solid phone to snap and post pictures therewith.


I have the means,but since I am expecting Npower to give us devices,

I believe that buying any such phone now would be something of a waste.

I believe we would soon be given our devices wherewith I would be snapping and posting pictures of Akwa Ibom and Uyo.

Thank you Ma for following the thread.
