Travelling is part of education but insecurities in the country has made it look like a disaster...seeing a beautiful creature is really amazing

I always enjoyed traveling then from Bayelsa to Ilorin. I love Oshogbo with those their ancient graves

Nice road trip.

I always love to travel by road to see our beautiful countryside.
The last time I embarked on such an adventurous journey was when I traveled from Uyo in Akwa Ibom State to Lafia in Nassarawa State, then to Abuja, then from Abuja to Ibadan, then to Lagos, then from Lagos back to Uyo in 10 days.

That was in 2019, but sadly the rise in insecurity has made traveling by road in Nigeria very scary.
Even that 2019, it was a serious risk that I took, but it was adventurous.

Traveling from Makurdi, the Benue State capital in the middle belt to Osogbo, the Osun State capital in South Western part of Nigeria is no doubt a long but fascinating journey.

One of the down sides of this trip is the fact that there is no direct bus (vehicle) between both cities (Osogbo to Makurdi). So, from Makurdi, you’ll need to board a bus going to Ibadan so you can alight at Ilesha junction in Osun before taking another vehicle to Osogbo.

The journey from Makurdi to Osogbo gives one the opportunity to appreciate the large landmass that this country is blessed with alongside a beautiful vista of nature.


From Makurdi, you’ll pass through Naka, Adoka before getting to Ankpa in Kogi State. Naka and Adoka are towns in Benue State while Ankpa is in Kogi State.

The next major city you’ll get to is Anyangba where the Kogi State University is located. From Anyangba, you’ll get to Itobe where you’ll cross the river Niger bridge over to Ajaokuta.


Right from Itobe to Ajaokuta to Okenne, the road is relatively good. It’s always a straight route. From Okenne, you’ll head to Ibirlo in Edo State.

Ibirlo is a popular place for most travelers because most drivers usually have a stop there for passengers to eat and relax before continuing with the journey. Pounded yam with bush meat is my favorite meal whenever we have a stop at Ibirlo. It will interest you to know that their fried yam is always irresistible for most commuters.

From Ibirlo, you’ll get to Isua, Oba Akoko, Oka Akoko then Akumgba before getting to Owo- all in Ondo State. Akoko just like several parts of Kogi is adorned with beautiful landscape decorated with mountains.

Owo to Akure to Ilesha is also a straight route. The expressway actually leads to Ibadan. From Brewery junction (along the expressway) in Ilesha, you’ll take the right turn and head for Osogbo.

From Ilesha to Osogbo is just about 25 minutes drive (17 km).

Lol.... U go get the update here. But before I explore the city of Osogbo, I want to visit Ejigbo to make a video on how people travel from the town to Ivory coast seamlessly.

I heard that almost every family in Ejigbo has a relation in Ivory coast.

That'll definitely be my first point of call.

Grab your popcorn; I go drop d gist here

This is very correct

I thought you can get Osogbo vehicle from high level park in makurdi
