I took a drive from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the outskirts of Abuja to Abuja city proper and it took me a little over 30 minutes.

The road is one of the best in the country and I don't think there's any other road outside Abuja that can beat it.

I will take you through the drive.

nothing really special about the roads............typical example of Nigerian roads looking odd.....

See news

Interesting... watched the video to the end. Really think the roads are good.... both highways and local. Very little silt build up at the sides of the highways... guess they do sweep to keep it in check. Saw silt almost take up a lane on other highways... so indeed... the roads are pretty good and I'll say maintained. What struck me most?.... first the trees on the islands at the beginning of the video... why are we soooo foreign minded?... why must the trees be pine trees?... or a crude attempt to shape some kind tree like pine trees? Why couldn't they be trees natural to our environment?... like those used along the highway later in the video? Moving on. I've noticed the almost lack of signs on the highway... and the few were very small... not easily read during daylight let alone at night. So if I were to make the same trip.... how would I know when and where to branch off?.. how did you know on your first trip? On highway speed limit... again... saw no posted signs... is there a limit? Those ehmmm.... Kilimanjaro walkways.... it must be for the fit only..... no doubt.... elderly, fat and handicap discrimination. Just curious... heard the tick tocking of the car signal while overtaking.... is it you put on hazard lights? ....what's that about?
Enjoyed the video.... keep posting bro.

Nigerians don't obey road signs ever. Driving is haphazardly and no speed limit. Keeping to lane is zero. What were you expecting in a lawless society like ours?!

You wan drive lokoja to Abuja in 30mins? That journey is upto 2hrs or even more sef

lalasticlala...

Few hours ago, someone did it in 20 minutes or less

.Abuja fine Sha. But it's too boring. Everybody dey orderly like zombies. No fun. I dey canoe area right now and I just wound down so as to take in the smell and the sound. Shouts of Gala gala , pure water, bottle water wa O everywhere. Plantain chips! Conductors shouting orilowo ejigbo. Nurtw screaming owo da. And how in God's name am I smelling catfish peppersoup by this time on Monday morning? Dem dey cook for holdup?

Lagos is stressful but I won't trade it for anyplace else. Except Yankee oooo.

Lo ri iro ...on top lie.

This is the effect of South South crude oil

Money generated in South enriches the Abujas

Money generated in Lagos lives in Lagos

People go dey lie like frog.. say na lokoja to Abuja city in 30 minutes.. make una lie small small abeg

I can say with authority that this government is broke,

some of these roads now have portholes.

Airport road is smooth because politicians must use that road.

but there is a loooming time bomb at Lugbe. All those Idp camps with hausa boys. they would make that road uncomfortable for others tommorow.

You will spend hours to cover such a distance in a city like Lagos












Bampeh hate traffic!
