This thread is for those who wish to travel long distance during the December/ January holidays. We are aware that things are hard and most people have limited funds now so these tips below are necessary to take note of.

1. Try to use flight if you can. As we all know it's the safest means of transportation at the moment.

2. If you can't afford flight, enter a sedan 7 seater car, plus driver making 8. I've noticed that those type don't usually have kidnap issues. It's the 14 seater they seem to target.

3. Travel during the day. No night journey for now please.

4. Enter bus from a recognized park, so that there will be some sort of monitoring of the driver by the company . Recognized travel companies preferably. They will cost more but then your business will be monitored by the company. Don't stand by the road looking for a bus going to your talravel destination because you want to cut cost.

5. Be on alert. Don't go and sleep off in the car. Monitor the journey and the road along with the driver.

6. Save some funds in an account that you can't easily transfer. Maybe open and deposit some funds in an online bank app but delete the app from your phone especially during travel. Or have funds in your dollar account.

Please feel free to add yours below.

Road clear! No police No bandit No army.

my own advise is as you hold flexing money hold ransom money, especially if you no wan tey for kidnappers lodge

be warned

Nigerians issuing fellow Nigerians travel advisory now

U don't even know that kidnappers might be following this tread.

Kidnappers are human beings not animals or ghosts.

They don't operate between 1am -5am. They sleep too.

Their hot hours are between 5:30am to 7:am ; 12pm -1:30 pm. 6 pm - 7:30 pm. Armed robbers between 9:30pm to 11:00pm watch out.

Am a commercial hummer bus driver.

How about don't travel



Well, unless extremely important

Nice points bro !!

but are hard to bypass

May God help us all

Thanks for the guild.

Thank you also for giving bandits useful tips 😂

Nairaland is a fair play ground.. Stay woke and careful everyone

All these tips are important o. Honestly, I get scared travelling outside Lagos these days. Me wey like driving before, I just dey Lagos abeg

OGA who go die go die.

Nothing dey happen .
Even if you enter plane you will still land and take car to your destination.
You can still be kidnapped on the way home.
Whatever you do just pray and hope for the best.

As the government doesn't want to issue it, the concerned citizen has to do their job.

With dis nobody is travelling anywhere

Is it advisable to travel from Abuja to kwara

Plane fit crash o


Wtf man

Don't they do what they want to do even in broad daylight

Adewale1603:

If it's kwara town, especially the areas that don't have bandit issues and is developed fine. But if your place is in a place that isn't really developed and there's a lot of forest around I would say don't go.

😁😁

Is Kwara not a destination ?

So Only Township Kwarans should travel while the interior Kwarans abandon their country homes.

Na wa !

To be safe yes. Generally if you notice those that are around bushes tend to get kidnapped more by those northern illiterate bandits. Because they take them to the bush. By now as a parent or guardian if your child is schooling in a place with too many bushes around you should take the child home.
Even the kidnapper case with Harrison that's trending, if you observe the area it's a developing area that seems to have bushes around from what I saw.

Night Journey is safer, kidnappers are also scared to operate at night. Moreover its safer to get to your destination in the morning than getting to your destination at night

Buy data, use facetime and video call a lot.

How About staying where you are. It's the safest. than story that touches

If you can, stay where you are, at least for this year.

Make una advice una terrorists islamist. Thats who you people should advice

Emmy000seun:

There's nothing like meaningful point here bruh


This is why we Muslims believe in the pre-destination, whatever happens to you in this world is already pre-destined and ordained by God.

Wake up in the morning, pray to Allah/GOD alone without associating partners with him, hope for the best while you are expecting the worst.

ALL THE SECURITY IN THIS WORLD NOR FIT SAVE YOU WHEN YOUR TIME IS UP.

Not everyone can afford to stay one place. Some people even do business that require inter state travel. We just have to be security conscious and pray for the best

It's easier to run in the day than night. And easier to see what lies ahead in the day. And I'm sure most of those army with road blocks on the road don't say overnight nowadays
