MOST DANGEROUS ROADS IN NIGERIA.

Some persons see travelling as a normal way of moving;Going to see places but in another hand travelling is path of education,it is also a path of experience.at the long run after i traveled to so many places i found out that most of our express road in Nigeria are very bad and dangerous..This dangerous express road are as follows..

1)First on the list is Abuja-Lokoja-Okene-Kabba: If you choose to travel round in the Southwest of Nigeria to Abuja through the Lokoja-Okene road in Kogi State, then you will understand that this is a road of death,journey of no return.apart from this bad road you should also know that gentle men on the highway are still on guard waiting like a lion looking for who to devour,because of this thousands of passengers travelling the Lokoja-Okene road to Abuja or to Ondo State have been waylaid by armed bandits and dispossessed of their goods. The same can be said of the Ilorin-Kabba-Lokoja road and the Lokoja-Obajana-Kabba road among others along that same axis

ii.Second on the list is Lagos-Sagamu-Ore-Benin road: An analyst noted that “If there is any road in the country that has portrayed successive governments in the country in bad light as failed governments in the last two decades, it is the Lagos-Sagamu –Ore –Benin road.” This road is not only bad and terrible for motorists, it is also a den of robbers where unfortunate passengers have been robbed and raped if their vehicles break down along the road. Travelling through the road is like travelling through the valley of the shadow of death.

 iii.Third on the list is Lagos-Ibadan expressway: Constructed in 1974, the 120-kilometre highway is the only major road connecting Lagos to Ibadan and other states within and beyond the Southwest of the Nigeria.
The FRSC reported that so many person has recorded dead all because of this same bad road,it was noted that in 2012 that 775 people died in 2,075 accidents along this road.
The main dangers along this major expressway linking other states to Lagos is that of unmotorable road and frequent accidents, largely caused by oil tankers and overspeeding vehicles on the expressway filled with potholes.

iv.Fourth on the list is Okigwe-Umuahia road: we all know that this road is always busy,because of that this road is noted as the ever-busy express road; Enugu Port Harcourt expressway has always been a death trap for travelers .
While road contractors hired to repair and maintain the road had abandoned it due to funds not being released by the government, the roads have fallen into terrible disrepair and become a death-trap for motorists and passengers alike.

 v. Fifth on the list is Otukpo-Otukpa road in Makurdi: It is true that Otukpo and Otukpa roads are both within Makurdi in Benue State, this is a major road where craters, gulley erosion, potholes, and even dare-devil robbers rule the road.
From Otukpa to Otukpo, the ancestral home of Idoma kingdom; you’d be forced to dance along with your vehicle to no rhythm for close to four hours in the journey, which ought not to last for about one or 2 hours. A columnist wrote that “For regular travelers, the thought of venturing on Otukpa-Otukpo road is the beginning of a journey into uncertainties, eternity or the easiest way of booking appointment with fate and grave, nay a way of bring money for nearby coffin makers.”


 vi.Sixth on the list is Enugu-Awka-Onitsha road: The deplorable state of the highway linking Enugu, Awka, and Onitsha has forced hundreds of motorists to abandon the road and reroute via the old road from Udi to Awka.
Several people have died in traffic accidents occurring on this road, and it continues to be a serious headache to passengers and motorists alike.
