You mean you saw potholes in Anambra and Edo and non in the others? You are a liar. In fact, you're worse than liar Mohammed. There are potholes in Ondo and Ogun more than the rest of the states.
From Owerri to Ore are very good then after some kilometres from Ore it is potholes all the way to Sagamu.
Get some senses and don't mislead people.

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.


Robbers dot every inch of the road.

Been quite a while I took that route.... The most tedious part used to be that OSHA hold up or when Redeem were having their yearly retreat.

Exactly. On the 27th of May, 2012 While we were in Edo state going to Imo, there was an armed robbery attack but fortunately our driver got to know just in time n reversed. We had to take the route inside of Benin instead of the Benin by-pass and it was really lengthier than usual travelling to Imo state.

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.

Asaba doesn't even come close
