Bro, I drove from Lagos to Calabar last week....but.....guess what? I drove thru the longest route. I drove thru Akure, Kogi, Benue.....yeah, it's a long route but with lots of rest of mind. No Police harassment, just smooth drive. It's a 48 hours thing. But going thru the normal and shortest route? God forbid, those guys you see on the road are animals in human skin.. 4 Likes |

Start very very early from Lagos. Go through ore-Benin-onitsha-owerri-aba-ikot-calabar. The only bad road you’d encounter is between aba and calabar. It’s a one full day’s drive. Start by 5am arrive by 10pm latest. 4 Likes |

qekng40: Ogbele O Odukpani is still bad? It's even because I heard it was under repairs which is why I allowed myself to fall for this opportunity. |
Re: Help! Is It A Terrible Idea To Drive From Lagos To Calabar? by Veecruz: 11:38am On May 05, 2022 |
WhrightJr: It's a simple Suvee. The absorbers... will have to do its job. How long should I have in mind from Portharcourt to Calabar, and someone here says I should prepare to eat 4 hours at Odukpani (7 years ago it took me 7 hours from Calabar to Warri.) |

Veecruz:why not leave the car there and enter transportation it way cheaper and better. Whatever you choose avoid onitsha. Onitsha hold up will cost you more hours on the Trip. 1 Like |
