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.
what is he doing in owerri,from onitsha fire to ekwulobia-umunze-okigwe-umuahia-calabar that the route transporters follow

Make sure you don't use official (government) number plates on your vehicle if you're driving through the South East.

Some miscreants along those paths are committing arson and murder in the name of fighting the FG. My friend lost his colleague simply because he drove a car with presidency number plates.

Stay safe.

Info here says non-igbo speakers would do well to avoid here, but thanks for this

True but sadly the victim was Igbo too, so it's more of a general safety precaution.

Please house, I plan to travel to Calabar through Warri Portharcourt, Uyo route, is this 0k?

Is the road drivable?

And I am aerophobic.

I did that several time in the past, I won’t advise you to try this now a days with the terrible roads and the high level of insecurity abs killings going on around in the South Eastern Nigerian region.

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..

You no get custom papers? grin

I'm back guys, thank you for enabling me prepare for the journey.

Meen, it was hard, that route is Loong. Calabar faaaar! And now, I feel old to be complaining.

And the strain comes from the too many start and stop because of checkpoint.

Nonetheless, it was great to see the roads and the changes, (Ughelli don develop expand) east west road was sweet to run cept I could not get to my favourite speed 140kph cos I was unstable, (heavily loaded) and one of my engine seating was partially broken (it was when I reached Calabar I saw this)

Any way, I thank The Lord for He made it very good and sweet for me.

Thank you all.
