Ebenezer2021:You really don’t have to be silly. I can tell you’re immature, most definitely a child online who has no idea what’s going on nationwide You obviously haven’t tread this route more than 60 times like I have. Learn to understand a question before displaying how d*ft you are. You shouldn’t be embarrassing your family Below is a chart of the current security threat level. Lagos to Port Harcourt isn’t a stone throw journey Crime rate on express ways are probably at an all time high now 1 Like

JimloveTM:coming from Lagos to port Harcourt, the problem is on the western part. If u can escape herdmen activity from ijebu Ode to kajola, ore to Benin, pass through warri(I don't know what is happening on the Eastern path but people still passes their without complaining) to PH you don't have any problems at all in Rivers state except with police where u will need to enter the state before 6pm not be caught up with the 7pm curfew in some local government you will pass. |

JimloveTM:it depends on where you're coming from and where you're going to. My advice, follow a popular or well established registered company vehicle because the know safe paths and some of them do settle police, bandits, vigilantees, etc. in the background which means you likely won't have any road delay or attack but herdsmen, bokoharam, UGM, highway robbers are exceptional. However some big companies have bullet proof tyres in case of road blocks by hoodlums. When u get to PH, vehicles loading at parks and taxis painted blue and white are safe. PH is safe to move around but still be careful. If you know where you're going it's better, if you don't, ask elderly drivers or park pple |

For more than 2 years .now, one of the safest roads in the country has been Onitsha-Owerri-Portharcourt road. Because of the heavy police presence on that route due to initial cases of kidnappings. I travel that road from Agbor regularly both in day and night hours without fear. I would close from work around 4pm and hit the road with my humble 04 Honda Pilot and arrive PH around 9Pm. The journey is usually slow because of the checkpoints. Then, on Mondays , I would leave PH by 6am and arrive Agbor by 11am, but later than that if there is hold up at the Niger Bridge. OP, do your waka. Nothing dey happen. |

tonididdy: Funny but true sir. Nowhere is safe. If you go anywhere outside the gate of your house safely and come back safely in Nigeria of today, it is nothing but grace. Nowhere or no journey is safe anymore sir |

floss:@ the bolded! I am still trying to understand why u wrote down this shit, will the driver begin to ask his passengers if they are going to states that share boundaries with Anambra. Again, aside from delta, I still wonder which south south state shares boundaries with Anambra |

Key issue is which ROUTE you have decided to take. My personal experience about two weeks ago ; Left Ajah Epe express way straight to Ijebu -ode via Epe. Roads not great but Ok from Lekki takes about an Hour. From Ijebu matters change somewhat on the Lagos to Benin highway . It's as if having an SUV is a criminal offence, the check points manned by multiple agencies ( all deh find money) are probably over fifty. Nonetheless progressed on arrival in Edo state. Very concerned armed ( robbers) in police uniform they are very hungry quite a lot if them. No name tags they even covered the plate number on the patrol car they have. Thats a warning bell. I overcame that I never give one kobo bribe a bit of posturing to make them think twice that's all. Benin to Warri no issues whatsoever easy go easy come. Warri to PH no issues. That's my personal experience. 1 Like |

Na risk u take Lie these roads are good. least i can say for this route. Infact from Lagos t PH and back didnt stay more than 7hours on road to and fro and i stopped over at benin see my guy, go mama Ebo knack better poundo with black soup, stop for Sapele round about buy edible worm with kpokpo garri them a stop at Ugheli Kilimajaro for some nice chinese......insecurity is bad but no reach to fear , just dont go through owerri/aba road. pass warri/patani. you will be fine. @OP, very important o! If you are going for a job interview, please verify that its a real and authentic job. Please and pleae. The new hustle in PH is invite people from out of town for a fake job invite and kidnap them and harvest their organs o. just be safe. God bless [/quote] |

Muhylonaire007: We living in PH will laugh at your stupidity. Coming from lagos he'll pass through Edo, sapele, ugheli and bayelsa. These places are good and the roads from ugheli to PH is very good with no potholes. Get sense bro 1 Like

Confirmedzombie: See as you are demonstrating idiocy. Is Lagos one of the local governments inside Rivers state? How many states must he pass before arriving Rivers? How safe are these routes? You want to sell Wike at all cost, with the rate of hardship together with unemployment in Rivers state the future of Rivers State is going to be disastrous. Unlike South East, go to Aba, everywhere is busy. People believe in taking responsibility for their livelihood. They don't cower to intimidation. They stand for their right, you can kill them still you can't intimidate them. The people have moved on since without recourse to government responsibility. Whether you create job or not, they will create theirs. Take a survey of the number of touts and scaliwags walking around aimlessly to and fro the streets of Portharcourt. They are mostly indigenes. So why dragging IPOB to your opinion? The problem with Rivers people from time immemorial was their jobless youth. |

PH is safe but just try to get here before 8pm to avoid what happened to me last weekend Secondly try to be observant, when you enter pH, because the rate at which these guys are hijacking people in public transport is alarming. But I know you'll not be found wanting. |
