Used to enjoy traveling across Naija and neighboring countries during and after my Youth service.

Those that have never travelled would never understand the thrill, fun and education of embarking on such journeys.

Sadly, Insecurity and Terrorism severely damaged and dampened my love for travelling in this country... Such a shame!!!

I know friends that narrowly escaped death while on such "tourism"... Others were not quite fortunate.



...It's a real shame what the beautiful nation and even continent have become badly reduced to due to Politics of terrorism.


Growing up back then, traveling was a must for anyone serious about understanding and learning... It is a proper form of education.


Shocking to know there are a lot of men and women in Nigeria that have never visited or stayed in more than 2 cities in their country... Smh!


Some of you even brag about being local champions in Lagos, Abuja, Benin, etc... Una no just dey shame.

Mrexcell:
Some nigerian are really taking risks oh how can anyone think of travelling by road from nigeria to south sudan at this time of insecurity?

Judolisco:
u don't wonder why some states in North have better road infrastructures than some so called oil producing states in the south, especially south south, when I see some SS people complaining about other people stealing their oil money, I tell them to better hold their governors responsible, a state like jigawa should not be looking more advanced than bayelsa or delta...... U r right about the emptiness though... I still don't believe we are up to 200 million people in Nigeria.... U can travel for more than 3 hours in Niger state without seeing a significant village or town

Willy2025:
Those roads are full of dangers from bandits and Islamic militants and extremists. You have to be very careful

Nasarawa to Adamawa too far for me!

My grandma died, I didn't attend her funeral because of the fear of travelling. When my wife's grandma died afterwards, nobody bothered to stress me because they knew I wouldn't travel.

Even to travel home for Sallah, I no dey try am.

I used to enjoy travelling before, but insecurity and all the unpalatable stories have made me detest it. 7 years running, I never comot for Lagos.

Here's someone living his dream!

anifranklyn67:
You have to understand that the west African CFA which you are referring to is different from the CFA the poster is using which I believe is centra African CFA

With due respect let me enlighten you a little

There are two types of CFA in use in Africa:

1. The west African CFA with ISO code "XOF" and issuing authority being "BCEAO" which is in circulation in about eight African countries

2. The central African CFA with ISO code "XAF" issuing authority is "BEAC" which is in circulation in about 6countries.

You dare not spend Cameroon CFA in Benin Republic, it's practically impossible.

Hope this helps
Knowledge is like onyx, one digs deep to get it

Risk. How?

Do you think anyone who has much to lose will embark in this kind of journey? Sit back and enjoy the story.

EDGEof2MORO:
let me tell you why northern Nigeria states have better roads than southern Nigerian states. are you ready?

Rain

you have no idea how much damage rain can cause to our roads. A shabbily built road in the North will last longer than a less shody one done inn the southern nigeria states for the same reason. Swap the weather for 5 years and I can assure you, none of the northern roads will last 2 rainy seasons.

Human corruption is no match for the forces of nature.

DeepSight:
We definitely are . . . . regardless I understand your hesitation believing it, when there are places in this country where they count cattle in census figures . . . .

How to know we are? There are some indices that can tell . . . when you look at mobile subscribers alone, you get an idea (notwithstanding that many people have more than one line - still many more - especially in rural areas, have none at all still). Over 170 Million subscribers as of May 2025. That gives you an idea.

If you look at the voters registered in the last election, almost a hundred million people. . . . all of these give an idea and a hint.

Judolisco:
I grew up in the North and we have our fair share of rainfall and even flooding , so u can't blame it up on rain, you construct roads without drainage, contractors use substandard materials, they don't do regular maintenance on your so called roads and you're blaming it on rain? Kai

iHart:
What is your mission there?

EDGEof2MORO:
you grew up in the north. that statement tells me you must have lived in the south. are you comparing the amount of rainfall a southern town like Warri gets with a northern town like Maiduguri? that's why I said earlier "you have no idea how much damage rain can do to our roads". you don't. so try and travel more then you might understand what I am talking about.

Zonefree:
You see what men go through just to put food on the table. Tomorrow now, you and your fellow sadits will say Menascum.

Rich4god:
But why does he have to travel to Maiduguri for this journey.... Is there no road from Calabar through Cameron then CAR to south Sudan.

wiseone28:
So you want carry north with less rainfall compare to south? Don't you know rain dey spoiled road..try dey read.


Make them do something like festival and require ppl to come and watch you will see population and ask yourself where all of them came out from

michlins:
