My experience through road transportation

 Four months ago my colleague died of a fatal motor accident. Nobody knew she would die that way, even when we heard the news, it was like a dream to everyone. During my service year, many corp members had accident. Some died, few sustained injuries. This became a trauma to all of us. We were all scared of traveling, but we had to travel to meet our families. We didn't have a choice. By road, Calabar to Bauchi was a two day journey. By air, through transit it was less than an hour. But the best experience is through road transportation. You get to see life, have fun, sleep at the park or hotel, spend few hours with people and you may die anyway due to the bad roads or fallen tankers and trucks. But when your thought focuses mainly on that, you won't enjoy the journey.

I saw quite a number of new and good roads. There are good roads at Ebonyi, Abia and Enugu. No potholes, no traffic congestion. The driving was really a smooth process. A journey of six hours, we ended up taking a whole day. Nasarawa and Benue really took our time. Nasarawa is like a country on its own and Benue is another country on its own. Such a far distance with their local government included. I often times called the driver to ask where we were because in some state, there were no sign board indicating the names of road and locations.

There are good roads and there are also bad roads. Good road makes you enjoy the journey, take pictures and tell a friend you travelled. Bad roads can make a pregnant woman miscarry her baby. It gives body pains and headaches that may prolong for a week.

Having a travel blog may be a fantastic thing to do. But the risk of traveling is so high and it's so traumatizing.
