I wish you life till then and safe Journey,if I were you I will first ask the grace of my creator to make it that day. I learnt the secret of committing future plans to God and it had been working for me. Besides you are going to Maiduguri!!Safe trip
18wheeler: I plan to drive my car (honda accord 1999EX) from Jos to Maiduguri at the end of this month. A journey of about 7 hours normally. but with the numerous security check points I'm estimating between 9 and 11 hours. Will update after I complete the Trip.

Port Harcourt to Ghana.

I felt like abandoning the car cos all the dudes with me in the car could not drive.

I learnt my lesson that day.

Never embark on such a journey me folks who only drive with their mouth.

shymexx: I can't put the total number of miles to it but UK heads can calculate it.

I drove from London to Birmingham, then to Shrewsbury, back to Telford, then to Stoke, then to Chester, and straight on to Liverpool - and back to London the same day. Those were the days when I used to run down the mileage of every car that I buy within 3/4 months - then sell it afterwards. I would just wake up, look for a place on the history, get the sat nav and get my boys in the car - and off we go. Drove about 15 cars from age 17-22, believe that. I just love adventure.

Another psychotic driver and the greatest long-distance driving mofo ever has to be my boy Ezenna the Zen. That's only guy that moves a car without the clutch, just the accelerator and off we go. The only guy you would like to be in his car when he's high or drunk. The only guy that has never been caught in a car chase with the feds - he always get away. This guy used to run down the mileage of every car that he drives within 2 months and he drove more than 25 different cars within 4years. He'll drive you from anywhere to heaven and hell, and back in one piece, believe that.

And we both never went to driving school, we just picked a banger at age 14 and started driving it around South London. wink

Shyte, there are drivers and there are DRIVERRRRRSSSS!




Don't forget to ship down the over ran car to Lagos for the Eko boys to form big boy with.

Piyke: Trip: Enugu-Gombe ( and return several times)

Distance: 589miles (one way)

Duration: 12-13hrs

Route: Enugu-Kogi-Benue-Nasarawa-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe.
Alternate route: Enugu-Kogi-Benue-Taraba-Yola-Gombe.

These trips were during my nysc in 2011. I used Google maps during most times and was suprised on how accurate it was for use in Nigeria.

Feel free to adjust the format as you deem fit. It's just a thread for fun.

Bross Ω̴̴̩̩̩̥̩̩̩̥a you drive or you be passenger inside the vehicle? Because to drive that kind distance gaskiya e no easy.
