Quite informative stuff. Ogun state highway don blow my tire 2 different times on my way to and fro Lasgidi

iSufferFools:
Thank goodness. When I saw top ten things I thought Tosyne2much is at it again.

I have never been to Imo before so I can't come up with such an article

Warri right? But it seems to me that Asaba is getting busier by the day. Though i've never been to Warri but it's reputed as the commercial capital of Delta state.

No matter how busy Asaba may appear, Warri is times 3 of that. All the companies and industries (mainly oil related) in Delta State are in Warri.

Asaba is getting bigger, I must admit, due to the influence of Onitsha but it is still not enough to dub it as Delta's biggest or busiest city.

U see, b4 reaching lagos

Hmmmmm....... I dnt knw wat to say bt Im sure sum1 wud read dis my comment, so lemme jst comment for the sake of dat person n mek d comment bold so he/she wudnt stress dia eyes cos of my comment

11 is soo true and i can perfectly relate with it.

The moment you get into ibadan expressway, your nose is immediately greeted with a choking atmosphere laced with fumes of industrialization, vehicles and over-population

Funny enough, your body system adjusts to this air and then you become a true Lagosian.

Meanwhile, these beautifil loafers are for sale

Of course. Warri is an oil producing are and Asaba does not have that. Maybe in the future we can compare both city's commercialism.

Op are u a geographer?? Nice!

I was opportune to make a business visit to my land of birth and hood, Lagos State, last week and to be honest I saw so many changes along the Federal highway which I thought would be cool if I shared them and definitely individuals who have never navigated that highway would know some few things about the highway that connects the South-East to the South-West.

Below are top ten things in no special order you should know about the highway that connects Imo state and Lagos State.

1. In order to travel from Imo state to Lagos State by land, you have to drive through five(5) states which are Anambra, Delta, Edo, Ondo and Ogun states.

2. Anambra, Delta, Edo, Ondo and Lagos States have very good federal highway. I could literally count the number of little potholes in Edo state and Anambra state as I saw none in the rest of the above mentioned states.

3. There are over 20 mini bridges from Lagos to Imo and back.

4. There are Cattle Breeders/Fulani herdsmen in all of the states especially in Asaba, Delta State.

5. Anambra and Delta states have good landscape and palm trees, the highway cutting through their busiest cities Onitsha and Asaba respectively. They also share the Niger bridge.

6. Once you see yellow bags of garri and the top tied into the shape of a cone and palm oil in 5-10l plastic cans, just know you are in Edo state.
Please while coming to Imo state from Lagos, make sure you buy "Benin bread". If you have an encounter with this bread, you will agree with me that Agege bread is still having "L" hanging on its neck.

7. Indigenes of Delta State sell yams, palm oil and bags of garri by the highway but unlike the Edos, their garri remains untied.

8. Ondo state is blessed with rocks, as in be it smooth or sharp edged rocks, a very beautiful landscape and enough trees. Very wonderful roads worth being the best of all states, very clean and clear markings on the road but no beautification of the roadside.

9. Ogun State has a lot of huge trees, bush meats and is the home of mortar and pestle. It has the worst road on the highway. There is a place in Ogun State where you can't drive 2m without encountering a pothole.

10. Lasgidi has the busiest of the highway and once you come into Lagos State, there is a different smell altogether, a polluted smell to be precise.

So there you have it. Add yours if you've navigated that highway.

BENIN BREAD? OP I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO YOU

cheaphost:
Quite informative though i knew all these things.

Ovoko menh

InyinyaAgbaOku:
What then do the indigenes of Anambra and delta sell?

Anambra sell Okpa
Delta sell Ogogoro n red garri

Nice 11th.

Ogun the heart of Yoruba land. Ni comment.

Wonderful observations. The last time I travel that route was 2013 from Anambra State. Very scary road from my own understanding. Good if so now.

op, which day did u travelled to IMO to Lagos abi Lagos to IMO or is this a myth?

you try!

DICKtator:
Also, the Governor of Imo is Rochas Okorocha (APC) while Ondo State is Rotimi Akeredolu(APC)

Opakan2:
Even if they have to cross red sea.. they'll always find their way here

Tazdroid:
Hmmm, fascinating.

Great job Op, you must be a human map



No. 4 gives one quite a scare

And number 11= The Nigeria Custom.

Ensure your vehicle duty is fully paid and verified before embarking on your trip. You will see Custom road blocks from Delta to Lago's.

Inspectorsuga:

U are just an unadulterated IM..BE...

truth hurts.. pele

InyinyaAgbaOku:

Ofooma bread for the former, ukwa for the latter
