The insecurity level is just so alarming . I watched a video of some kidnapped victims this afternoon that were rescued by the police . They were kidnapped close to the Benin bypass and had been beaten blue black by the kidnappers .

They were just lucky the joint task force of police and vigilante in Edo state came through for them

Trevor012:
Shut up your nonsense.

BlueRayDick:
Sure insecurity needs to be tackled but some people will not have any reason to travel if NYSC was not made mandatory for graduates .

Speed Darlington is the only person I've seen spend time in prison and come out looking fresher. Oh I think Bob too.

Perks of being a celebrity. Police don't dare rough them and starve them like they always do to regular inmates.

Shegzdave:
We are on our way to Abaji
Thank you boss

Shegzdave:
Thanks Doc.
Just following your teachings in mentorship Doc

The referee that allowed the werey to do that nonsense na him I blame. I for don issue am red card.

The werey wanted to create a viral moment, which he did to be fair.

Roland17:
I'd advise you to approach it from a positive mindset.

One of my best life experiences was when I served in Afuze (Owan East LG), Edo state. My parents were relentless in convincing me to redeploy because it was Edo and all they have heard, but I refused.

Today, I never fail to show kindness to any Edo person I come across because, my goodness, they showed me a lot of genuine love and took me like their own. Infact, I don't allow anyone speak evil about Edo people near me. Their mothers are the best and they have some of best singing voices I have ever heard. I never paid a dime on market days and the guys, while crazy, were just as kind. I still stay in touch with a few and plan to visit the next time I am in Nigeria.

I guess I am just trying to help you see that beyond the issues, this is a life experience that has the capacity of shaping or reshaping your views about certain aspects of life..

Embrace it!

They’ve moved it from Mangu to a temporary location, I think insecurity is the issue for moving from there

The fear of ransome collectors is the beginning of wisdom

Shegzdave:
Already licking up with them

Shegzdave:
I don’t like to eat while traveling, just water till I get to My destination to avoid any inconvenience in the journey

The people there advised us to also hold our cardigan cause of the cold cause they’re not stopping at any time unlike luxury silver that make stops

Greatswimmer:
This is true
It will even be easy to navigate those place during the day as a newcomer compared to when one arrive at night

Shegzdave:
Amen, thanks boss

It’s air conditioned and new

Night travel dey always fear me sha. While i was serving in Ebonyi, i always leave Lagos by 6am, same when leaving Ebonyi for Lagos.

Even when i went to Abuja in 2019 for nnpc interview, our bus left Lagos by 6am and we got to Utako bus stop around 8 or so.

Me and night travel no fit mix.

Shegzdave:
Decided to take the evening bus because when I checked every transport, almost all of them are scheduled to move in the afternoon/evening cause of less patronage. Most people are moving tomorrow

Bonny way transport ways

I curse the day Glazers bought this club.

I curse the day they sold part to Sir Jim ratface

These guys are hopeless ehn. Today is 21 remaining 9 days to the end of the transfer window and nobody has been brought in.

Pearl1910:
Yes, I agree...its wrong to cheat the system. Especially a system that is trying to help in everyway.
However, there are unique cases which u may have to convert the trip to offline and negotiate price. Such as;
1. If the trip is towards an area u will probably not easily get a trip back from. I am not going to take a trip to Covenant university, Bells, Babcock, Dangote refinery, or Sagamu online. If the rider is not ready to negotiate an offline price he should keep searching for the jjc that will carry him/her online to his remote destination and drive back to civilization empty.
2. The rider has multiple stops but didn't add it in the trip while requesting. U and I know in this work, time is money. But the waiting time on the app is not properly designed to cover for the lost time waiting. In this case u may have to renegotiate offline and charge per hour or quarter/half day.

For me, these are reasons good enough for converting.

It got to a point where Obaseki was placing signboards on roads to apologise to people and say that the projects were in the hand of the federal government.

Omo.

I had reason to visit Naija Confra last week and I was amazed at the amount of cult killings happening in the country that's not getting news coverage...and a sh1t ton of those cult killings happen in Lagos that's naturally is in the centre of news in the country.

Make e comot early morning. Maybe them go sleep for Abuja continue the next day.

I just remember my journey from Port Harcourt to Gusau.

Lol.


I got the job I went for but I knew I was never coming back there.


Omo.

Unlimited22:
😂😂😂😂😂😂

I remember going from Benin to Okada for outreach


Lol.

Lol.

Guyman, them go stop your motor, dey for road there begin negotiate ransom. Where you wán go?


Abi na when I go Gusau, when Abuja-Kaduna express was still the HQ of banditry in Nigeria?


After Funtua in Katsina state, upon entering Zamfara before you reach Gusau, e get where you go drive for up to 30 minutes, na grassland and shrub you go deh see both sides of the road. Like if person dey chase you, you go run reach horizon e go still dey see you because nowhere to hide.


At some point, our vehicle stopped, and every fuckinngg person got down to push it until we saw human beings again.


When I was going to camp, we got to Wukari from Port Harcourt at around 8pm. A convoy of over 17 full vehicles heading to Jalingo and Yola.

The drivers, ALL OF WHOM WERE NORTHERN MUSLIMS, talk say them no dey go again o

Say anything wey do us no concern them.

No worry.

Travelling inside Nigeria by road na extreme sport. Na God dey keep person.

BlueRayDick:
I believe most of the kidnapping incidents happening on the roads are even under-reported. There are so many buses not GUO,GIG , peace mass transit, etc that gets waylaid on the road and they don't get reported in mainstream media

BlueRayDick:
As in...... There are some places u will get to while travelling on naija road and u know in ur mind that if anything happens in such places there's nothing that can save u even in road daylight.

BlueRayDick:


When one talks about these things, people who support/defend government always think one is exaggerating or embellishing stories just to paint the government bad.

There is serious insecurity on the highways both day and night, so may unpoliced/underpoliced corridors on Nigerian highways where non state actors operate without much disturbance from security agents.

Like you rightly said, the best way of ensuring safety while traveling is to fly; unfortunately, majority of Nigerians can't afford the high cost of flight ticket.

Night journey bawo

Shegzdave:
