The only thing that can kill you on those roads is stray livestock

Silk smooth roads unending for hundreds of KMS. I used to visit Borno back in the days to visit gf in unimaid .


Yes but also many other issues . I once had an accident because we were traveling in a Hilux on a clean road going but coming some funny trailer spilt a layer of gravel on the road. The Hilux lost control and left the road at high speed. Fortunately was a flat farm land with no trees. The car went like 1km into the farm. The Hilux was brand new and only 2 weeks with me then. The second incident was burst rear tyre at high speed on my Nissan maxima 2004 model on Damaturu Portiskum road . I think like 160kmph, honestly I had a panic attack. On the same trip from kano I decided to drive at 100kmph or less but slept off and actually entered a farmland. 3 Road safety officials somersaulted in front of my car when they sped into gravel on the road but no fatalities it was like an action film; 2 of the occupants thrown out as the car was rolling. Finally I was actually involved in an accident when a car hit our Hilux at an angle. The Hilux somersaulted like 3 times fortunately I was on seat belt so no injuries, the driver had a broken rib and fractured collar bone.

I was accelerating so that was probably the 5th gear, with 2 additional gears after that. The 6th gear will engage probably at 220km and drop the rev counter from say like 5500rpm to less than 3000rpm then at a stable 250kmph the 7th gear will engage and drop the rev counter down again to below 2700rpm. You can continue at that speed without any high engine rev or rpm induced vibration. Beside the fuel consumption is minimal at such speeds.
