Compass If you are afraid of driving through the same road other drivers take, you can drive through the forest. But if you are really, really afraid, just hire someone. We don't want to hear that a nairalander died on his way from Lagos to Abuja. Just shut up and drive! Goodluck Jo to you. ![]() 1 Like |

chiebube1: God bless you bro. The best route I know goes thus. From lagos am sure u know ur route to ibadan. From ibadan go through iworoad and link your way to ilesha express way. Its easy u will see oodua university on ur way although the road split dia. Take the round about turning and u will find yourself in ilesha. From dia ask anybody for iwaraja junction wia u will find yourself in ekiti. Note ibadan to ekiti shud be 2hrs. Or 2hrs 30mins. From dia go straigh the easiest road to pass is Adoekiti to kogi state. Although dia are better shortcuts like u going thru efon-aramoko-ijero-ido-ifaki-ikole-omouo after u will find ursef in kogi state. Its under 1hrs and d people dia are friendly so u can ask ur way in case u r confused. From kogi just follow the buses u will see to abuja. Its very staright and direct. Note. From ibadan to ekiti is 2hrs (for me) from ekiti to abuja z just 6hrs. The roads in ekiti are good not very good and from okene to abuja z perfect. I guess if u follow my route from lagos. In 10hrs u shud be smiling in gwagalada. U can thank me when u reach ur destination. About the police issue. There are lots of police in ekiti just be polite and dnt fidget when with them. And abt road safety u will hardly see them on the routes I draw out for u. And dnt forget to pray if u are a believer like me. God bless ur journey 8 Likes |

Do not over speed! Follow vehicles that know the route! Service your car. Check your tyres. Overtake when it is very safe. Ensure your papers are up to date. Stay focused and enjoy the trip! 1 Like |

At Poster, - I recently drove my car all way from Abuja to Lagos. Last week Tuesday to be precise. - I left Abuja Tuesday evening around 3:45pm and got to lagos Wednesday morning 4:17am. Things you should not do ● Do not ply the Lagos - Okene - Auchi - Benin - Ore Route. Though this seems to be the shortest route. You need to be warned that Auchi - Benin Road is a death Trap. I mean so very Bad. ● Ensure your car is not one of those low cars. I had my car rims changed from 15" to 17" with tyre of 225 pi. ● Ensure your shocks are good. ● Your drivingredients license and Custom documents and motor vehicle are all in other. ● If you have your car tinted and your permit is the old vehicle tinted permit, please have them off. you will bribe so much till you hate yourself. Different Routes ● In last 3 weeks, I have driven from Lagos - Kwara, Lagos - Ekiti, Lagos - Minna, Lagos - Abuja road. Lagos - Minna - Abuja is the best route, the bad road around the Jabba mokwa has been repaired. and just a few side is still in bad shape. The lagos - Minna route is the longest, however the road is well tarred and you can run very fast. I ran 135kM/h through that route. I left lagos 9:48am and got to Minna 6:20 on the Dot. The next day I left for Abuja. ● Lagos - Ekiti - Obadana- Abuja. This route is fairly okay, however road from Ilesa ipetu down to Ado ekiti, is not that good so you can run and might end up driving slowly. The Obajana Lokoja road is so bad. That you dI'd be scared of your vehicle. However it's the fastest. From Lokoja to Abuja is just too sweet, one way. via Airport Nnamdi azikwe, shehu musa yaradua road. Things To do ● Breaking Your journey half or 3- Quarter way. If you know you haven't driven this long before I do advice you split the journey into two, except you know you can do it. ● Please ensure you break all N1000 notes into N100. Else by the time you start bribing. You will end up paying N20,000 as settlement fees. ●Road Safety: Ensure you have your fire extinguisher, Spare tyre, Driver license and C- Caution. I learnt the hard way around Obajana route down to lokoja. ● If you are a force man, just put your jungle heart or cap on the dashboard of your vehicle. Them no born them well to stop you. I once carried a force man. ● When you are asked by any force on the route always tell them you are from a far place, for example from Abuja say Kano. They will have pity on you and not ask you stupid questions or try waste your time. ■■■ PLEASE and Please if your custom paper is invalid no travel with your car ooooooooooooooo. Na there you go no say trouble dei sleep yanga go wake am. wetin him dei find? Wahala u dei find. Wahala you get ooo cc: chiebube1 Summary: Take the Abuja - Lokoja - Ekiti - Ile ife - Lagos Route. OR Abuja - Minna - Kwara - Osogbo - Lagos Route. ( This route is about an hour slow however. You are guaranteed of running on a good tarred road. ) OOO less i forget. Have an updated version of your Google Map. Below is a picture, from Lagos - ABuja, was running 140km/h . [size=16pt]Note!!! Because you be expert driver for abuja no mean say you sabi drive for Lagos ooo. If your car is new without scratches please and please no carry the car enter lagos. Else na serious scratch you go carry. A moderate lagos driver is an Abuja expert driver, however the reverse is not the case.[/size] 13 Likes 4 Shares

Re: I Am Driving From Abuja To Lagos. Advice Needed Please!!! by Ymodulus: 5:53pm On Jul 10, 2016 |
AbuSaad39:you don't need to know how to read maps. I use Google Map whenever am travelling and driving. It has been so simplified that you need not look at the map. My car has a Bluetooth so I use the Google Map Bluetooth functionality, which tells you follow right left or middle or slight left etc. You also look at the top left edge of your screen and follow the arrows and heading. also get a phone stand attach to your car windscreen front. |

The best route now is abuja-lokoja-kabba-ado ekiti-ilesha-ibadan But u have to follow the transport company drivers because that was what I did the last time, road is very tricky and u will miss ur path if u not very conversant with the route 1 Like |
