Going on same road trip from Lagos to Owerri

24th..

But your distance too long oo.. how you go use 12 hours take waka 580km? When motor dey move at 120km/hr.. you no do the maths?

I'm travelling with my sedan (V6) too.. the journey shouldn't be more than 7 hours (bar police checkpoint delays).

Lagos to Benin is 4 hours or less.. Benin to Onitsha is around less than 2 hours.. Onitsha to Owerri is 30 mins.

E be like say na plane abi flight you wan use cos I no understand this your calculation for Nigeria road o

Very true at Owerri.
I made 2 journeys from Umuahia to Benin City in September and October. It was like that going and returning on each occassion.
I went to Ohafia in Abia State for promotion interview, similar thing happened. Even aged women were not spared. They walked with hands raised.
Our governors are simpletons to allow such abuses.

Wrong mathematics you did here. It isn't always calculated that way. You'll know when the journey begins. For me, it should be up to 8 hours, 30 minutes minimum to get to Umuahia from Lagos. Then again, it depends on the part of Lagos you're starting off from.

Well security wise you might reconsider your journey because south east seems hostile and unsafe for normal humans right now with the ranging violence and unabated killing, it might not end well, better be calm until things get better, the one these people are kidnapping their kings and dumping their body in market Square. ok I better be going
Bros, when last you travel? Don't join the bandwagon. Hundreds of thousands of people make the journey to and from the south east daily.
As long as you are not involved with ipob matter, you are legit and you do not travel interstate in the south east on Mondays, you are okay. Granted there have been a few mishaps. Where in Nigeria do we not have mishaps? Even Lagos is not that safe yet we go out everyday.

It is no lie. I ply that route well. The exact spot is in Ihiala just before you get to Uli when coming from Onitsha.

All passengers in a bus or car will come down and cross the checkpoint on foot. It was worse before when passengers will be made to lift up their hands as they walk pass the point and go wait for their buses or cars after the checkpoint.

It still happens till now.

Traveling is part of enjoyment and education.


But as you travel, learn to look at the beauty of nature.



Make sure you look at the trees, rivers, rocks, mountains, valleys and the countryside.



Look at the houses on the way, in the remote areas and in the towns and cities as the journey progresses.



Make sure you appreciate the beauty of the Savannah in the north and the rainforest in the south for those going from north to south.


Try to behave as a child by asking questions in your mind concerning the small things you see on the way.

Questions like: Why does that bird I am seeing over there have 3 colors in it's feathers?

Why is that river flowing through that forest. Of course, those questions need not be answered. It only helps you to be a child temporarily.


It helps to heal someone's body and soul. It heals someone in a way undreamt of.

Don't just stay in the bus/car praying for the journey to end.


Try to enjoy the journey.


Make sure you buy any local delicacy of any town on the road if such delicacy is sold along the way.


Relax your mind, afterall being agitated during the journey would not suddenly land you where you are going. Why must you tense up when it would not help you in any way? It won't help you arrive sooner.


So relax your mind and make sure you enjoy your journey because it heals the brain.

12hrs is a good estimate considering the holdup at the head bridge. That's where most of the time will be spent.

This math will work, if and only if, you are on the express by 3am. However, be rest assured that 24th dec, will always pull a stunt.

For your mind Onitsha - Owerri 30 mins even from Onitsha - Ihiala you will spend almost 1hrs with traffic when negotiating owerri road except if 2nd Niger Bridge is passable now not to talk of Ekwulobia junction where there is bad spot getting to Mgbidi bad sport too.

You cannot blame the soldiers that subject commuters to such punishment because unknow gunman that attacks their checkpoint were look just like ordinary person before they will carried out their terrorist act by killing soldiers and policemen.

When you get to onitsha and want to escape Owerri road traffic jam, I will advice you to divert through Atani road then burst out to Ozubulu and continue your journey. SE is safe, just military checkpoints here and there.

Good advise bro. I wonder if they have worked on some of the bad spots on the Atani-Ozubulu road
