The speed was awesome.

I traveled to the east with my uncle in that type of car. We left Lagos at 8 a.m, we reached River Niger at 10:30 a.m

Too much speed. No other motors or transport company dared overtook us.
The only transport company then was those old luxurious buses by young shall grow and Izuchukwu motors. I wonder if bendel line was even there.

Also I believe your timing is off for Benin city used to have light traffic before you hit Benin Onitsha highway

Beetles runs at a max speed of 120kmph while a Volvo 244 GL runs at a max speed of 200kmph (some models had 240kmph as max) ...so how is a VW Beetle faster than a Volvo?

This car that year. My then girlfriend’s dad who was a pastor had this car. When he’s 4 streets away, you’d hear the sound and know that it’s time to disappear. One day, he came back without it and caught us in his parlor. Luckily, we weren’t doing anything as she was on her monthly flow. I just told him that I was doing morning devotion and was puzzled by a Bible passage and I came to see him for interpretation. He looked at me one kind but explained it to me. He then told me not to enter his house if he wasn’t around. Guy man no sabi say na we be resident husband. Lol. Good times.

P.S: We used to siphon fuel from his car at night during scarcity and then sell it to those boys in Bassawa junction aka “Kornan Kuwait”. I’ll then use the money to buy Dollar perfume for his daughter. Chai!!!!! We don old sha.
Lolz cheesy

Where is Bassawa junction aka “Kornan Kuwait
