As a physicist I have never seen where the use of "Supersonic" was so abused.
Even planes that take only over an hour from lagos to Abuja are not Supersonic.

That would be nice. The ripple effect would mean that traveling from Lagos to any state up north would be significantly faster.

I discovered recently that there's a place in Lekki that links to Ondo state (along the coast/beach)... people now take bikes from Lagos to Ondo state.

A lot of the places we spend several hours traveling to are just a stone throw but there hasn't been a comprehensive road network plan to ensure shortest distance.

I read about this recently too, but the place is still far from ondo town

Fairy tales by moonlight. See the naive ni55ers above believing this wahala. When cows block road, bandits begin kidnapping, boko begin haraming, Shiites begin prostrating and robbers begin shooting, you go know the difference between tekno phone and iPhone.

Travel time by road from Lagos to kano (private car- 1,000km) use to take 10 hours. And Abuja to lagos is not up to 700km.

Umahi my man.........

It should be more of "a supersonic/bullet rail route/train" and NOT supersonic highway!

If that is achieved, then we would have solved a major transportation/infrastructural challenge as a Nation!
What is the economic benefit of traveling from Lagos to Abuja
What does Abuja sell to Lagos?
Southern folk always doing themselves
The fact that something is possible doesn't mean you should do it

What about Lagos to Calabar
Warri to to Uyo

Ekiti to Yenagoa
Abakaliki to Bonny?

No matter how smooth the surface of the road is, 4hrs from Lagos to Abuja should be a possibility for an expert driver.

One would have to do 175km per hour from calculation, which will be difficult to do, unless you want to die.

Hello,
To be very honest and i can be fact checked, Houston Texas to Dallas DFW in Texas is just the same distance going by the 700km referenced. It is just normal to do this same drive in 4 solid hours at normal speed in the US, The roads are good and if this proposed one is equally good, i don't see why this should not be normal? common man! travel more and broaden your knowledge and horizon!

My last trip, I actually left Dallas Texas to Houston Texas at 5:30pm just few months back and i made it to Dallas just around 9:10pm same day..... just 4 hours or add few minutes! It has always been a smooth ride anytime i engage in the drive. It does not even stress me at all. Just buy gas, drive, no barricaded road, not a single one each time. Just dedicated rest areas if you desire to stop and use bathroom.

I am not really sure why it is such a big deal. Mind you, i have been in public transport 3 time between lagos and Abuja, or Owo (in Ondo) to Abuja, so i kind of know whats up.

You just maintain your lane and speed (mostly 75 miles/Hour equivalent of 120 km/Hour) - trust me, you will make it safely within 4 - 5 hours! No olopa, thieves, or any unnecessary delay on the road! We certainly do have highway patrol here, but they are not after you unless you go above speed limit - trust me, they (highway patrol - very stubborn) will pull you over and hand you a ticket (guaranteed $180 or more) if you go beyond the stipulated speed limit. Sometimes you just wonder where the patrol guys are hiding once they stop you! Mind you, it is usually one guy man patrol with his car /suv ooo!

NB: To put things in better perspective, the entire State of Texas is as BIG as Nigeria as a sovereign nation / country. You actually drive 13 hours alone within the State of Texas (Dallas Texas to El Paso Texas as an example). Google is your friend and you are welcome to fact check.

I Had to log on to Nairaland after many years when i saw your comment today! I have been a member here since 1995 0r 94....with the name Portage! not sure if my old post is still available though....made few comments in the past! regarding tourism in Nigeria etc. I only visit here in nairaland to read Nigeria news!
