Travelling in this Christmas season especially by the road can be so stressful and exhausted.

And today I want to share with you my experience on Wednesday 22nd December 2021 traveling from Lagos to Abia State Nigeria.

So I left Lagos to Abia State Nigeria by past 8am. First I got to the park (Libra Motors) by 6am and waited for the bus to get ready for the journey.

It is the harmattan season, so the weather was so cold.

Before our bus was ready, I took a couple of pictures. The below is a picture of me when I was set to start my journey.

The transport fare was 15,000 naira, which is approximately 18.8 hive.

I booked my fare via online on Tuesday evening via libmot.com, as seen in my below screenshot.

We left for Abia State on Wednesday by past 8am. It was such a long journey. There were much traffic due to the fact that lots of persons were traveling at the same time.

We also saw some accidents on the way, I thank God though that I no lives were lost.

The below is one of the accidents on the way. This truck crashed a jeep car with some travellers inside, the Jeep only had a crash but all lives were safe, but the truck summasulted into the bush.

I arrived Abia State Nigeria by 11:30pm. It was really a stressful one. I couldn't go home that night, I had to sleep over in the park with other passengers and left for my home.

That was how my journey went, right now I have settled down in Abia State, will bring you guys more updates on my tour in Abia State.

Best regards

It is always stressful to travel by road in Nigeria, once I realized the holiday was going to be a short one, I simply decided to stay back at school.
