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.

Onistha to owerri 30 mins
What type of weed do you guys smoke in this platform?

AMAUCHESKY:
Is ok dear is just a dream but wait a minute

MelesZenawi:


Eat your SE

I don't care.

Omambala landing case closed.

Next.

MelesZenawi:
That's your business not mine.

Those plying the route should educate him and ways to avoid UGM, IPOB and other Owerri-Aba terrorist unit formations.

As for me, Immediately I reach HEADBRIDGE, I am already home......safe and sound.

Irondome1:
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.

snipernigga:
I just completed a trip from Lagos to Nwangele LGA in Imo State on 11th of December 2021. There were up to 40 police checkpoints, custom checkpoints was like 20. All these from Sagamu interchange to Onitsha head bridge. I was lucky my vehicle was not a tokunbo, but I spent close to 20k in settling the Police on the way. Dem no dey hear abeg

oscillation55:

Atani to Ozubulu bypass is very bad & lonely. Infact it's the only road I've plied in Southeast without seeing good number of vehicles on that road. Security is not really an issue cos bois don hammer dey cruise better rides, bad road is the issue there except all those water for bad sections don dry up.

InoGetJoy:

We have our useless governors in the East to thank for that. Especially that Hopeless Uzodinjo

lozanni:


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

mediainc:

You can't blame the soldiers, they are searching for gunmen and weapons, it's a very laudable move to keep innocent Nigerians safe on the highways. Or are you blind to all the killings going on there by gunmen...

PreciousBro:


You're already home you say. Dont you mean 200km behind the bridge is the home you prefer? Who deceived you that you're igbo?

Any perceptive person that reads your igbo-disunity induced posts' would know you're from the witch and wizard walking-dead zone, parading as igbo and chastising real igbos whilst claiming igbo to authenticate your drivel and falsehood you reptile eating, kunu-guzzling malnourished impala.

If you stayed away from igbo threads will your breath cease ?

Shytreasure:
I just came back from the East yesterday, Ábíá state to be precise. The journey was fine except for the numerous check points; we had to come down at some points and trek.

The experience while coming back was different though; it was mixed with tension and apprehensiveness. Reason being that we experienced road block in three different routes in imo state, all vehicles were just turning back and we had to use another route eventually; even the driver almost lost his track out of tension of looking around for the next available thoroughfare, I must confess, i was scared at that point but man just had to summon courage. Reason for the apprehensiveness was the fact that i came back to Lagos alone, my friends stayed back and i couldn't communicate neither did i understand passengers and drivers communication. As we were changing routes like gear due to the road blocks, i was just calm expecting the worse! I no even sabi road self.

It's my first time in the south-east and i really enjoyed my stay with my Igbo friends. They are very accommodating and hospitable i must say.

So, you are good to go bro! I wish you a safe journey in advance.

9icetoo:

Good estimate. Leave Lagos early to avoid the bottleneck along Lagos ibadan expressway. Your target should be to be at sagamu or ijebu ode by 5.30am at most.
Therefore a departure time of 4.00am should be considered. Traffic will be heavy. Forget about security situation. No be Abuja Kaduna road be this. The numerous checkpoints (over 50 as at my last count) has taken care of that. As long as you aren't travelling on a Monday, south east roads are a breeze. Na Xmas, everyone will wish you well.

Godons1:


This is a normal practice in the East.
Make them enjoy, since they choose to support IPOB's criminal activities.

I can't feel your pain.

Sorry anyway.

vehicle occupants come down from a car?? Who's telling you this lie? Just stop talking what you don't know
