My Abuja people would know that good roads japa for Abuja..

One time this years during Sallah break, i was driving 160km along airport road, I just see one car speedily overtook me. My brothers and sisters , you would understand that when a car overtake u with speed, you self would look your speedometer and try to calculate the other car speed.

I look my own 160km, I come say the guy must have been driving 190-200km/hr
that road is the bomb Mhen no single porthole but Abuja drivers are wack I dy always fear. Person fit comot from nowhere.

I once saw my speedometer needle at 180km/hr and I shook. I am careful not to do more than 140km/hr. Everything depends on the nature of the road, the state of my vehicle and the level of adrenaline .

It was midnight around 3am
I hit 140km/h on 3rd mainland bridge
But because I was driving a small car with no strong balance on the road, I started to notice my steering shaking due to the speed and I quickly dropped down.


Never will I try that again, once I notice I’m getting close to 120km/h
I release my leg from the accelerator.

shocked shocked really?




On this bad East West Road? shocked

A reasonable segment of the Warri-Port Harcourt road is smooth, so I guess it's possible to drive 160 at some point.

I've driven 160 on Lokoja-Abuja a few times, but I've warned myself never to do that again. I'm learning to be doing 120 at most anywhere I'm travelling to as I travel Warri-Jos from time to time.

From clutch? To reduce speed? I have only known that the accelerator pedal does that function, I guess its been long I drove a manual vehicle

180KM, Lagos Benin / Ore Road with Toyota Tin light & Toyota Muscle

I make conscious effort not to do that any longer. Max now is 160 and it has to be on a very good road.

160km/hr to 170km/hr from Katsina to Enugu on dual carriage and some good portions. Honda Babyboy Manual.. But can't hold it for too long it's risky. If you are still doing that much or above please consider your loved once...

Abuja -Kaduna express , 180+ km/hr... Most roads leading to the northern par of the country are quite amazing.

EgunMogaji2:


I have 135mph ticket from CHP.

Now 70mph is too fast for me in Nigeria. I like the 55/65mph range.

No emergency response, other drivers don’t trafficate, other drivers don’t maintain their lanes, etc

The only guaranteed response in an accident in Nigeria is the social media response where pictures of ones warm bleeding corpse flood social media

I followed whole comment from A-Z bt i noticed that marriage do make a nuthead person behave normal. Majority were very speedy when single bt after marriage, they start respecting themselves cos they don't want to leave their love ones to suffer. In a nutshell, marriage is also wonderful, i need to leave away from a bachelor life.
