On saturday,i would be embaking on a journey from kano to my state Akwa Abasi Ibom state. At kaduna,i will enter train to Abuja.See enjoyment I hope the motor from Abia to Uyo will pass through the newly construsted bridge by Gov Udom. I go enjoy the trip well well.I cant wait to visit my people. In fact,the anticipation of the journey is making me so happy. I will do sightseeing in Kaduna,Abuja,Lokoja,Benue,Benin,Delta,Onitsha,Owerri and Aba. I will enter the forest between 2 states(kogi and edo) if possibe. I will compare the weather and the foods in each of the mentioned states. I will enjoy pammy and bush meat at Etim Ekpo before getting to Uyo. Thank you Jesus 5 Likes |

I was once in Akwaibom. God! I love that state. Maybe it was cuz of the company of ppl I had around me. Went to Uyo, Ikot ekpene, Abak, Oruk anam (ikot ibritam, ika, barracks, ekparakwa), oron, n was almost going to uruan cuz of my gul. But she was afraid to even go there. Her dad is her uncle. Family banished him for impregnating his sister of which she was the result. But she's pretty tho n also a nympho. 1 Like |

Ikpongiton:I stay sometime in sokoto(where i am doing a programme) and most times in sabon gari in kano. In kaduna,i heard the train is mostly from Kaduna to Abuja. Moreover,i am traveling in such a way that i will alight and stay for some times in each state on the route before continuing the journey. I am not just traveling at a stretch. I want to experience the states in terms of the weather ,food and people 2 Likes |

Travelling is always fun that is why I do not miss out on any opportunities to travel. Sadly, I've not done much local travel in Nigeria. So, I hope your travelogue would give me a lot of ideas with regards to travelling in and around Nigeria. Have fun. I hope you have packed your DSL camera or a phone with great picture pixels. Have fun. And no forget to snap beautiful pishures cos for Travel Section we like pishures ![]() 2 Likes |

Re: Travelling For Pleasure From Kano To Uyo by beauty7: 11:20pm On May 19, 2019 |
I took train this evening from rigasa in kaduna to kubwa in Abuja. The train took off by 6:04pm and arrived Abuja by exactly 8:08pm ie 2 hours drive. It drove through thick bush and villages. The AC was on while we watched TV. There were policemen who escorted the train. I went to the counter inside train and bought meat pie and drinks. The prices are a bit higher than the normal prices. Big lacasara is N200. Cup of tea is N500. Meat pie is N300. Surprisingly,all their bottle water were not cold at all even though all other drinks and minerals were cold. Muslims broke their fast and prayed inside the train. I really enjoyed the trip. My ticket number was SP3 Number 16. I wish i had the phone facility to post the images of the journey. I am in Abuja this night. Tomorrow i am going to Lokoja after sightseeing in Abuja. Thank you Jesus 5 Likes |

Safe trip... Traveling through the Nigerian road is not fun for me. From the bad road,, to time wasting traffic,, Frsc staffs that will be collecting #200 without checking if your break light is working .. A police officer that will stop d car and search each and everyone in the car including your luggage. D worst of it all is seeing a Nigerian army @ check point carrying AK47 while putting on bathroom slippers or palm sandals 2 Likes |

I went to the following places in Abuja: Nysc secretariat,Gowon house. I managed to enter inside despite strict security and questions from civil defence and soldiers. I climbed to the last floor ie the 6th floor. There I saw the DG NYSC who had just arrived with soldiers and few civilians I went into Federal high court opposite the NYSC sec to use the ATM. I went to eagles square but was afraid to enter because of the military parade inside. Opposite eagle square is Tafawa balewa house. A stone throw from eagle square is Federal secretariat which i entered. Subsequently,i went to Zako plaza and bought drinks which are squeezed from water melon and oranges. By God's help i visited many places in Abuja like Asokoro district,Bayelsa state guest house, I passed by NIPC where i observed the Transcorp hilton hotel. I counted the number of floors(of the Transcorp hilton hotel) to be 10 Visited the corporate affair commission. Also visited NCC near NIPC. Visited NEPC. In most cases,i observed the building from the gate. It is hard to go inside some of them without genuine reason because of security. Visited so many places which i can't write due to space and time 8 Likes |
