Traveling through Nigerian Roads

Traveling is one of my hobbies and I love doing it on a normal day. I don't even know how I got here, but I know that I am a lover of the road. Moving from one place to the other gives me joy and not just anyhow joy. I really love it with all my mind.

I once told my friend that if anyone wants to punish me, he should ask me to stay in one place for a very long time. Hahaha 😂 you have killed me if you do that. Infact moving around studying places, making new reasonable friends gives me blood.

Moving down to the topic for week 207, episode 2 is actually my calling. But the issue now is that I can't do it now even if I am given the opportunity because Nigerian road is very very bad. Or can I say that is in a bad shape right now. Traveling round tje country through the kind of road we have now is suicide mission. Is like signing your death warrant. We have a lot of things that will make one worried while using Nigerian road. Maybe we should consider them first before considering if I want to embark on that journey despite the fact that is my hobby.

1. Bandits in our roads: This is one of the so many problems a Nigerian face while traveling through our roads. No one is safe now no matter how short the journey is. I have heard of people who just went on a journey of one hour for business and the next thing we hear is that they have been kidnapped. What a country!

1. Arm robbers: Aside having bandits on the road we also have the case of armed men on the road stoping cars and some of them are even seen as military men. When the driver will slow down thinking that these people are military men, they take advantage of that and steal from the people in the car. Sone of them use the guns to force drivers to stop so that they can do what they know best to do. This has happened severally on our Nigerian roads.

2. Accident: This is even the most dreaded in our roads. The road is so bad that people don't like going through them, but because we have no option we still use the road anyways. People die in their numbers everyday because of road accident in Nigeria. Most times contract is been awarded for the road to be fixed, but all we will hear os stories of how the money is missing, or the contractor will use fake materials to do the job and it won't last for years before it will become worse than the way it was before it was fixed.

Considering all that we have spoken about about Nigerian roads, I don't think that if I am given the opportunity to travel round I will do so. I can't risk my life just because I love training. Nigeria has shown us shege and we are wiser now. I prefer to stay at home and make sure to be out of trouble.

ANOTHER COUNTRY

If this opportunity will come from another country for me to travel round to see the beauty of their country and after carrying out my research and discovered that the have good roads and all of the things mentioned about Nigerian road is not experienced there, I am willing to do so with joy.
