Among hundreds of routes in Nigeria, there are certain paths you will never want to stop at, let alone with a broken car. That minor misfortune may lead to a host of dangers later.
Let me get this straight, our cars will inevitably break down at some points, sooner or later, just like any other pieces of machinery. So you should ask yourself "when may it break down?" and "where do you want it to do so?". You may be able to prepare for the first by regular maintenance check but the latter is mostly hypothetical, which is worth a discussion. Bear with us through our imaginations and come to these 5 places that Naijauto team deem the worst places for any car breakdown in Nigeria.

There are many factors that lead us to come up with this list, but the main ones are the safety level, how isolated the place is and how hard it is to reach help from there. Now here they are:

1. Milliken Hill Enugu

This is located in the suburb area of the Enugu city which is around 100 meters higher than the sea level. There is a large natural ditch system that surrounds the hill, rendering the roads unbelievably narrow. With all that said, it would be a nightmare if your car breaks down here. There is no road light at night and any form of help would unlikely be there on time due to the road condition. Nor will the size of the road allow any repair to be performed easily.



2. Benin – Lagos highway

It can be considered "specialty" of this Nigerian road. Armed robber bands frequent every minute on daily basis. Yes, you heard that right. Though they might not dare to shoot you up or stop you in the middle of the road, they would show up when you have to make an emergency turn. No matter how you whine about your financial condition, they would pretty much take everything from you. So let's pray to God that your car would never break down there.



3. Enugu-Onitsha Road

This road looks like it's forever under maintenance. Just a drop of rain and it would turn into a cesspit in no time. Not only you would get help much slower here, chances are that other cars will also break down here and make the situation worse. Not to mention that you would be the target for all the splashing from other vehicles on the road.



4. On any bridge

In Nigeria, most of the bridges are pretty small, really. So if you found your car refusing to run while it's on the bridge, it will create a very annoying situation where many people behind you would honk incessantly in the hope to get by. Also, if you are unlucky enough to have a drunk driver near you, the collision is very likely.

5. In the middle of a traffic jam

Just like with the bridge situation above, the road now is almost locked and the motorists around you would be much less tolerant than you'd think. Should you think the scenario is not that bad, look at the picture below. If your car is suddenly out of order here, how can outside help approach?

Enugu is so developed that it appears twice on the list.

What about kaduna- Birnin gwari road and recently kaduna- Abuja road.
If your car breaks down on any of these two roads, pls find a way to board another vehicle and abandon your own for the moment except you have millions starched in your account for ransom payment

Haha true

Mofo oo

Ok

You didn't mention the worst of them all Abuja - Kaduna high way. Even if your car doesn't develop a fault, you stand the risk of encountering kidnappers road block any moment. Kidnapping happens there on a daily basis.

Milikin hill Enugu is no longer that dangerous. Barricades have been constructed to prevent vehicles from falling off d hill. More over trucks, trailers or any big/large vehicles no longer ply d road, so its much safer now for small cars
