  • Do you wonder what it looks like to start a drive 100 km from the most populous city of Africa, then drive towards it till you get deep inside the bowels of the Megacity ?
    that video is for you !
    Starting close to Abeokuta on some nice countryside roads, you will little by little approach LAGOS MEGACITY driving through Owowo, Wasinmi, Itori Papalanto, Arigbajo , Ifo and Ota to finish the ride by night in Oshodi after the daylight faded.

    I guess you drive as fast as you can. Total lack of any origination on the roadway. No accident's, can't believe that. No yielding to pedestrians. No patients. A "every driver" is king of the road attitude. And the potholes. WOW

    Ruff Ryd! But I enjoyed it! The experience of grit, grime and dust in my face turned a rough ride into a great ride! I especially enjoyed riding through the small towns and communities, seeing so much activity among the citizens. I could spend an entire day browsing through the roadside vendors and open markets. As it became darker the atmosphere seemed to become charged with an increased feeling of excitement. I was invigorated to see so many people out after dark walking, shopping, driving and riding from place to place. I am glad you kept your cool and did not succumb to road rage. In America giving into road rage sometimes has deadly consequences.

    • @Ludo_Liu
      @Ludo_Liu  3 года назад +1

      hello my dear, i am glad you took time to check at this previous video.
      I also like the atmosphere changing, from day to night, and the incredible activity on the side of the road after dark....
      Yeah that driver... was better to let him go, there is nothing good to expect of angriness on the road.
      Hope you will like the new edit. it should have been online yesterday, but i had problems encoding it....
      finally succeeded, and uploading it as i comment here !

    Since I found your channel recently, I'm trying to catch up with your videos as much as I can (I'll watch all of them). Wow! This ride took my breath away! I can only imagine how much you have to pay attention to the condition of the road, pedestrians crossing the road back'n forth, other cars, big trucks, motorcycles and tuk-tuks zigzag like aimlessly + debris on the road and even flying in the air! And then, dust & huge amount of exhaust. Oh man, I felt sorry for your lungs & eyes. But, thank you so much for providing this amazing viewing experience! I always watch all your motorcycle videos with high-quality virtual glasses that make me feel as if I were driving myself lol. 🏍️💨 This video is super excellent & exciting and I fully enjoyed it, excluding that damn red car that bumped your bike & your friend's leg. Now that was reckless & irresponsible! What a wild road and traffic culture, glad you made it in one piece. Thanks again, I love long videos like this. Take care! 💜 See you soon, I hope! 💜💕💜

      I was thinking about you while driving and editing ! I wish i had your knowledge about all the places on the way !

    Why people throw empty bottles on the sides of the road? There's no environmental regulations in Nigeria? Also it looks like the population is about 500,000,000 people in this country. I wonder when was the last time the govt did censer for its people and how many were they. If was done past 10 years then it has no correct the number of population in that country.
