Road Trip: Makurdi To Osogbo (pictures And Video) by jswitch(m): 10:43pm On Sep 09, 2022 |
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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYuxMzhB6K0 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). 10 Likes

pakirisuitesphc: 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 9 Likes |

odinga1of:From Osun to Lagos by road about 3.5 hrs. Lagos to either Togo or Abidjan by road is about 6.5 hours So no big deal there. Nigerians and my village mentality. Even PH to Kano is longer than Osun to Abidjan. 1 Like |

Enjoyed watching. Interesting. I'm curious to know if Okenne has running water. I noticed two overhead water tanks ... higher than the buildings in the community.... and am wondering if they supply water to the community. With that set up... people can get running water in their homes. I always wonder why local governments don't invest in such a basic infrastructure. On the roads.... it's shame what we call highways... the state of them and worse ... there seems to be no serious plan for road infrastructure. I guess after these monstrous all wheel drive trucks have destroyed the roadways and can no longer move along we will be importing trucks that run on tracks ... like war tanks. Sad. Looking forward to more videos.... but do make more local stops and let's get a close up of these places and their people. The two overhead water tanks...... or are they something else? 1 Like 1 Share
