OP, you are not right with 7. Kaduna-Abuja. To me, its one of the best roads in Nigeria. A dual carriage expressway with less of bends. You can comfortably move at 170km/hr and as your soul wishes. No matter your speed, one rascal will still overtake you. The Bwari road is also not as bad.

Lagos-Ibadan expressway is far better than that... GEJ did massive work on the road when he was trying to win SW votes... stop posting rubbish.
you are right. Also, Lag-Shagamu is perfect. The bad spots starts from Ijebu ode- ore.

[quote author=opeyemiieblog post=43506989]Some of the most dangerous roads to travel in Nigeria are as following :

1). Abuja-Lokoja-Okene-Kabba: If you have travelled from anywhere in the Southwest of Nigeria to Abuja through the Lokoja-Okene road in Kogi State, then you will understand that this is a road of death. Not only is this road bad, it is a haven of armed robbers. Thousands of passengers travelling the Lokoja-Okene road to Abuja or to Ondo State have been waylaid by armed bandits and dispossessed of their goods. The same can be said of the Ilorin-Kabba-Lokoja road and the Lokoja-Obajana-Kabba road among others along that same axis.


2). Lagos-Sagamu-Ore-Benin road: An analyst noted that “If there is any road in the country that has portrayed successive governments in the country in bad light as failed governments in the last two decades, it is the Lagos- Sagamu –Ore –Benin road.” This road is not only bad and terrible for motorists, it is also a den of robbers where unfortunate passengers have been robbed and raped if their vehicles break down along the road. Travelling through the road is like travelling through the valley of the shadow of death.


3). Lagos-Ibadan
expressway: Constructed in 1974, the 120-kilometre highway is the only major road linking Lagos to Ibadan and other states within and beyond the Southwest of the Nigeria. The FRSC reported that in 2012 that 775 people died in 2,075 accidents along this road. The main dangers along this major expressway linking other states to Lagos is that of unmotorable road and frequent accidents, largely caused by oil tankers and overspeeding vehicles on the expressway filled with potholes.


4) Okigwe-Umuahia road: The ever-busy Enugu Port Harcourt expressway has always been a death trap for commuters. While road contractors hired to repair and maintain the road had abandoned it due to funds not being released by the government, the roads have fallen into terrible disrepair and become a death-trap for motorists and passengers alike.


5) Otukpo-Otukpa road in Makurdi: It is true that Otukpo and Otukpa roads are both within Makurdi in Benue State, this is a major road where craters, gulley erosion, potholes, and even dare-devil robbers rule the road. From Otukpa to Otukpo, the ancestral home of Idoma kingdom; you’d be forced to dance along with your vehicle to no rhythm for close to four hours in the journey, which ought not to last for about one or 2 hours. A columnist wrote that “For regular travelers, the thought of venturing on Otukpa- Otukpo road is the beginning of a journey into uncertainties, eternity or the easiest way of booking appointment with fate and grave, nay a way of bring money for nearby coffin makers.”


6) Enugu-Awka-Onitsha road: The deplorable state of the highway linking Enugu, Awka, and Onitsha has forced hundreds of motorists to abandon the road and reroute via the old road from Udi to Awka. Several people have died in traffic accidents occurring on this
road, and it continues to be a serious headache to passengers and motorists alike.


7) Kaduna-Abuja road: The Kaduna highway links many states in the north of the country to Abuja but boasts of over 400 potholes. In fact, the state of the road bears no image of a channel that links major states in the north to the Federal Capital Territory. An 18- seater Hummer bus was once involved in a ghastly motor accident that caused the loss of 14 lives along this road – they were all burnt to death beyond recognition. The vehicle had been coming from Kano State to Abuja.

The list is incomplete faa. what of Mokwa - Ilorin Road na der u go know say Train better pass Road Transport

Re: 7 Most Dangerous Roads To Travel In Nigeria( SEE PHOTOS) by 400billionman: 11:20am On Mar 06, 2016
Many of these pictures are wrong. Most of them were snapped along Lagos - Sagamu - Ore and Lagos - Ibadan

For example, there is no part of the Kaduna - Abuja road that looks like the last picture.

What causes accidents on Kaduna Abuja road is over speeding. The road is wide and 164 km long so many drivers exhaust their speed limits.

Many corollas, mercedes and BMWs hit 200km/hr on this road. Little mistake nah accident..
Re: 7 Most Dangerous Roads To Travel In Nigeria( SEE PHOTOS) by saynedu: 11:23am On Mar 06, 2016
These roads are still good nah, at least they are motorable. Aba- ikot ekpene road has been shutdown for over four years now. A federal road for that matter. I think Nigeria is gradually going into extinction, everyone to your tents.

A TOUCHING story !! One day a little boy closed from school. On his way home, he saw a cat lying by the road- side as though it was dead. To satisfy his curiosity, the boy tip-toed close, bent down and touched the cat with the index of his left finger to confirm if it was dead or alive. He touched the first time and there was no response. He then touched the cat again. He continued touching, touching and touching. Gradually, the boy began to notice something spectacular about the cat. Gradually he looked up towards heaven and exclaimed as though all was not well. Then a grin spilled across his face. By and by he resumed the touching and immediately his chest began to pound and his body became warm as though he was in the middle of a blazing forest fire. Goose pimples appeared all over his body. The atmosphere turned black and there were thunders and lightnings. The entire atmosphere was intensified by horror. The little child didnot understand what was going on around him, and so he touched the cat again and again.. Immediately a heavenly smell arose and the boy was seized with amazement. Then his eyes began to burn as he kept a gaze on the cat and continued touching. Like I said earlier, this is a TOUCHING story.. Thanks for reading.. You can now go back to what you were doing.

I think you need to come to the north and see for yourself. You will review that list. By the way have you ever travel from kaduna to jos or from Gombe to Yola?
I havnt made the full trip from Gombe to Yola before, but i have travelled Jalingo-Numan-Gombe and vowed not to make that trip again. The road has has too many curves especially from Gombe to Numan. Add to it all the potholes and at times long stretches where the road is missing. Numan-Jalingo is also something else.
