4 Reasons Why You Should Not Travel At Night This Yuletide by AutoJoshNG(op): 12:32pm On Dec 20, 2018

Driving at night could be very dangerous especially in our country Nigeria where a lot of things are upside down.

Why do I think traveling at night is dangerous? Relax; I have a twenty feet container loaded with reasons why you should avoid such night travel this yuletide.


1. Bad Roads:

Most of the major roads in the country are not in good shape. With Nigeria being the giant of Africa, we have passed the level of having dilapidated major roads. Most of the major roads linking major states have death traps at every point on the road. This includes water-well sized potholes, untarred roads and lots more. We unintentionally run into these potholes during the day time let alone at night.


2. Security reasons:

Night driving in Nigeria should give you concern when it comes to security in the country. Most of these major roads are evaded by highway robbers especially at night when the security agencies meant to be on patrol are in their hibernation mode. You can even fall victim of being flagged down by robbers in disguise. They do it so well that you think they are security agents mounted in a checkpoint.


3. Little or no help if an accident should occur:

No one prays for an accident to occur when traveling, but what will be your fate when the unexpected occurs. There are no much functional emergency rescue squads around the country that can be of help at such time of the night. A lot of people driving by at such time will even be afraid to help out because of their safety.


4. You might get frustrated if your car spoils:

How would you manage the situation if your car eventually gets spoilt on transit? How prepared are you to go about it?

It can be very frustrating to have your car spoil at the middle of nowhere most especially at night. You’re even prone to being attacked by robbers and hardly will you get a helper; everybody is afraid in the country.

You are.

You don't vote for good leaders

You defend corruption

You don't take part in politics, but do arm chair critics.

Look in the mirror...and start the change with the person you see in there.

And this goes for me five thousand fold.

Thing is, we need a good railway service.....

And we need to bring back toll booths...so that we can fund improvements to the roads.

The problem is that these problems were there before Bubu thought of Aso Rock.

And no I am not defending him. We can remove him from power. But are you people ready to make the structural changes we need to make things better.

I am all for kicking out APC. But assuming that things will automatically get better when there is a new president...as if the president is the polcieman on your street, the local government chairman of your LG, the councillor and so on....is a pipe dream.

And those who go into crime will go into crime whoever is in charge......

Are Nigerians ready to change themselves, the way we change government in 2019?

So Lugard told criminals to loot money, toldpeople to drop out of school and legit hustle and start doing armed robebry, told our leaders to wreck our railways, etc.

That's the problem with you Nigerians...always blaming others...when you should blame yourselves.

That is why , years after democracy, we still are trying to get it right.

Better wake up. Under colonial rule...life was safer than when our guys took over.
