speedfreak:Since you're planning to return to Abuja in December, Please take a flight trip with your wife this time around. The roads are especially unsafe during that time of the year and kidnappers are likely to be more active since they believe that potential victims tend to have more money at their disposal during the Christmas period 1 Like |

In this Buhari’s regime and the general situation in Nigeria right now is not advisable to take sure a risk. Road trips not enjoyable anymore because of kidnappers 2 Likes |

Made that trip in January. This is what i did precisely I went to a large motor park in Lagos and asked for the first bus going to Abuja. I had a word with the driver... "Guy, i no know road so i need to follow you for nyash all the way". Na so money and phone number exchange hands When the bus left the park my Lexus Jeep fall into place behind it. I stayed with him all the way to Abuja. The only problem was that I drive really fast but had to come down to the speed of the bus for a whole day. Very irritating at times. Note. You gotta tell him you are following or he will mistake you for criminals trying to waylay his bus cos he will see you behind him all the time, throughout the long journey. Even an idiot will be suspicious. A call to his bosses and you can get cornered by security operatives and shot at. No questions asked. 9 Likes |

I advise you go with someone who is familiar with the roads so as to guide you on how avoid bad portions of the road. |

speedfreak:Sleep well night b4 d trip Don't eat heavy food like egusi and fufu. I prefer Sprite and suya only. Budget to buy two full tank of fuel. One at Lagos and the second at okene. Also make provision for hotel since it's your first time 11hours trip. When buying fuel only buy where you see many buses buying from the petrol station. Hope you have your favorite songs and your girlfriend favorite song in USB to plug into car audio that can last for 12 straight hours. 6 Likes |

speedfreak: I did Ibadan to Kaduna sometime in April using strictly Google map. Left ibadan at exactly 7:30am, I got to Abuja 5pm and arrive Kaduna at exactly 7pm. I only stop for 15mins somewhere in ekiti and another 15mins at lokoja. 90% of the road is good, with Google map/navigator I escaped most of the gridlocks except for the one at gwagwalada. I'm a fearless and daring person. I didn't meet any kidnapper or hoodlum on the way. My Kaduna to Ibadan trip is the sweeter story. 75 - 80litres fuel should take you from Lagos to Abuja. If you are an adventure lover... Hit the road bro... Be safe. Less I forget, I don't give tips or bribe. Make sure your licence and particulars are intact. Fire extinguisher, hydraulic, razor blade, etc. Road safety and vio may want to delay you unnecessarily if you are like me (no bribe/tip policy). My usual line at any checkpoint is "Morning, how is the work? Weldone" (with a straight or slightly smiley face) and I zoom off. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Bros, Nigeria road is not safe for now, if u can afford by air, it is better but travel by road with ur car it is not safe at all. If it is must u should travel and u can't afford by air, go through with registered and commercial operator. |

id4sho:boss this is the worst one i have had. I was robbed along patani road in 2017 when I was on my way to PH around 2am, I was on my way to deliver a 2011 corolla sports because the duty was compromised so i didn't want to leave during the day because of customs palava. The robbers were robbing 2 luxurious buses when I got to the point and felt maybe its another checkpoint then the road wasn't good. B4 I discovered what was happening it was too late so I just removed that plastic under the ignition and disconnected some wires, chia it was a big mistake but at least helped me. I was beaten blue and black by them but luckily a rx350 toks appeared from no where and they faced the car robbed the driver collected the car and shot at my car but by then I ran into the bush by the side of the road. It was after they left we discovered they killed 2 people in one of the luxurious buses and it was after they left i started replaying what happened in my head i was beaten blue and black by a female member of the gang and i will be forming hulk hogan. It wasn't a good experience at all since then if I am travelling to a long distance 6am latest I don comot except on very few occasions. 7 Likes 1 Share |
