Safety Of Travel By Bus To Abuja by hellohowareyou: 10:40pm On Aug 07, 2023 |
Hello Nairalanders!, hope you all are doing well. This is my first post of the forum. Really glad to be here! I wish to ask of a problem i'm very much concerned about. i'm going to Abuja for medical treatment and apparently i have to travel by bus not plane because of lack of funds. I wish to ask how safe is traveling by bus from Delta state to Abuja? Will there be danger? Is there anything i should look out for when traveling that far?. This is my first ever time travelling by bus to a very far distance and it gives me a lot of anxiety. Thank you for reading 1 Like |

hellohowareyou:D hellohowareyou:Don’t know if this will be helpful. I did travel by road to Abuja from Lagos in April. The journey was smooth, albeit stressful. I boarded “God is Good”, to and fro. Yes I had security concerns, but if you can’t afford flight, try and make use of a good transport company. Save trip, and quick recovery… |

hellohowareyou: Use God is Good motors or ABC transport. They have speed breakers in all their buses and it's very safe. For the roads so far, my cousin told me it's safe too since late last year compared to 2021 and earlier. You have nothing to fear 2 Likes 1 Share |

Absolutely nothing to fear. Join GIG or Delta line. Try and avoid not too popular transport companies. You will be just fine. stop worrying as anxiety only help to exacerbate your health challenges. Remember to pray and also don't do night trips. Good luck. 1 Like |

I understand your anxiety. However, it is important to note that insecurity issues does not happen all the time 24/7. Even if a road is unsecured does not mean that kidnappers or arm robbers will operate 24/7 on it, it's all about timing which you have no control over. Night journeys are the worst but then there are still majority of the people who get to their destination in peace even in boko haram areas. Insecurity can happen anywhere and anytime. It's all about probabilities of occurrence. A place is said to be safe if the probability of bad things happening is very low not because it is zero because it can never be zero mathematically. For example, what is the chance of an arm robbery or being kidnapped in Canada and Nigeria roads? The difference is in their probabilities not because it can never happen in Canada. While Canada may be 0.1%, Nigeria may be 5%. If this is the calculated answer, it still means that 95% of Nigerians will not experience arm robbery or kidnapping while travelling on Nigerian roads despite the general consensus of insecurity. What I'm trying to say is don't be scared if you don't have means to take a flight. You don't have control over when bad guys will strike but the chances of you not experiencing anything bad is far higher than experiencing bad things. At least this should give you some confidence. So the koko of the matter is to pray not be at the right place at the wrong time 1 Like |
