A Solo Adventure Across Nigeria: Adventure or Risk?
I have always had this fantasy and dream to go on a solo adventure or trip in the future , it's an opportunity to explore the world, going on a solo trip is a good experience, especially when there's safety and finance to start the trip and explore.
The quietness and tranquility that comes with going on a solo trip, with a cool music playing, riding a luxurious car is a good experience.
The thought of traveling to different places, visiting different tribes in my country , experience different cultures and traditions, taste different traditional meals, explore and see the world within my country will be great, it's an experience that is going to be good, educative, fun filled and worth engaging in too.
The thought of driving, stopping at places of my choice to explore for a while will be absolutely amazing.
The thought of going on a solo trip is really interesting, fun, and intriguing, it will be a privilege engaging in one.
My country is absolutely beautiful, full of beautiful natural places like hills, mountains, beaches, sea and many other, also we have diverse cultures, tribes, museums and many other amazing places.
Each time I see this places I haven't visited on television , the media, reality shows , I really wish to visit and explore one day.
Driving from one end of the country to another will definitely be a good experience.
But then , going on a solo trip in my country is really a dangerous one, there are many factors to consider and one of the factors that's of a serious concern to me is bad road, most major road in my country aren't good enough and these can lead to constant traffic, robbery and other misfortune.
The stress of gallops, traffic and noise will ruin the fun of experiencing a peaceful solo trip, the bad road will make it a chaotic trip.
This is one reason why it can't be fully enjoyed, a reason why it won't be very fun or absolutely enjoyable to me.
Another factor , that could make a solo trip in my country a big threat to my life is the issue of insecurity, imagine going on a solo trip and meeting your doom like meeting kidnappers , bandits or organ harvesters.
The issue of insecurity keeps rising daily, hearing diverse news about kidnapping and missing people who decides to travel on the road for a mission and at the end experiencing something bad.
A solo trip sounds like a risk here due to insecurity and bad road, these are the two major factors to me.
Nigeria is a very big and populated country, a decision to travel to different regions is going to take so much and cause so much stress, especially travelling without a guide .
The distance from one state to another, plus bad road could cause fatigue, dizziness and could even make one sleep while driving, which is risky.
Also, going on a solo trip is going to cause serious financial stress, the expensive price of fuel to the the money you give at different check points, Nigerians will understand this better.
I love the idea of going on a solo trip in my country to explore different cultures and see more beautiful places but that would be when these factors listed are fixed and when I own a car too.
A beautiful scene. But which part of Nigeria is this?
Thank you for your consistent participation in the weekend hangout.
