I was telling her ahead. Want to follow the story.

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.

where do you live in kano.why train ride from kaduna to abuja,when you can travel from kano to port harcourt by rail

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

I love travelling. Make sure you have fun

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

there is no direct train from kaduna to Akwa ibom.

It is from Kaduna to Abuja

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

Kudos.

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

The prices of those products are fair for a train ride given the comfort of an all AC ride. How long is kaduna to Abuja by road?

Sad..so a big country like Nigeria does not have a railway linking the northern part to the southern

Train from Kaduna to Abuja is N1500

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

Then we reached Uwah, then Ozi.

In ozi,there are so many tall mountains with trees up to okpaka town and beyond.

In koton kafe, there are tall mountains.

All the aforementioned towns are in kogi.

Shortly after the rivers niger and benue meeting,we entered Akpanya, then ohono.

We passed Lubcon refineries and petrochemical on the left.

Then sign board of salem university at the Lokoja Ajaokuta road.

I saw Tawakaltu restaurant on the right before Tako junction which i alighted from the bus.

I entered kogi international market lokoja.

Then entered kogi state polythecnic adjacent to Nigerian Korea Friendship Institute.

I passed by the cenotaph dedicated to fallen soldiers.

I saw Nurun mubeen science international school at hassan katsina road

I climbed a rocky mountain but soon got down b/cos of the fear of snakes in the grass and people staring at me.

There are other places which i visited in lokoja which are'nt written here

I then took bus which passed via the following towns,villages and structures on the road in kogi:

Raw foofoo in bags were put on the road side for some miles around itobe.

Some foofoo were spread on the road side in other parts of kogi

we reached ofoke youth association on the road side.

Then we reached united evangelical church,ojodu on the road side

Then we reached ojikpoju,

Then ogbabo(where there was a field where children played ball)

and then ochadamu all in kogi

The bus parked at Ekiji junction around charismatic renewal ministry

Then we drove to otukpa branch.

I alighted at otukpa branch and trekked for some very long distance.

I entered the bush under the guise of easing myself.

The forest on the road side lies between Benue and Enugu.

By the numbering on the road side,otukpa branch is about 94km from Enugu

The bus entered the outskirt of enugu and then drove via:

Stop being a kill joy.

As you cannot do it, do not discourage others who are travelling by road and those who plan to.
