My Worst Traffic Experience

Welcome to my blog

Traffic congestion appears to be one of the primary difficulties we face in the city. I stay in Port Harcourt and because of the population, businesses, and various roads our governor is creating,many roads are closed where as causing Traffic jams.
Sometimes if the place is close, I prefer even trekking to remaining hours stranded there.
The worst thing about Traffic congestion is that you later find out that the reason for the traffic may be due to misunderstanding amongst people or disobedience to the traffic laws.

I can't forget the worst traffic situation I had when I nearly missed my sister's wedding.
It was exam season at school, therefore I couldn't come back on Friday although the wedding was on Saturday.
I had exam from 4 pm-6 pm on Friday and beginning a trip to portharcourt by that time may be problematic.

Early that Saturday, I didn't get to access the road early too due to security concerns so began the journey at 7 am. Coming from my school to Port Harcourt shouldn't take more than 5 hours but that day I spent approximately 8 hours on the road.

Before that day(Friday night) it rained. I entirely forgot how Abia road can be when it rains.
First, at Aba, our car got stucked in water, it felt as if I should cry. The worst part is that I can't join another vehicle since I have paid my money in the Car park previously before we began the journey and it will be hard to a car that can transport you because all were packed up with people traveling straight to PH.

After attempting to repair it by pushing the vehicle, it wasn't long before we were stuck on Hold up which lasted up to an hour. It was weekend thus people were moving to and fro for business and various purposes. I even had to beg the driver if he knew another path we would take.

A Journey I was expected to arrive at most noon was delayed until 3 pm. I had to miss my sister's white wedding. The only thing I met was the reception while they were already dancing. I was extremely exhausted already, I just had to run in to cheer them up and at least let them know I was around.

Thank you for reading

Traffic in Nigeria is something else, it is annoying sitting in traffic for hours and weekends are always worse because of parties here and there.

I am glad you met the reception, you could have been sad if you didn't meet the event at all.

Those big and popular cities like Portharcourt and Lagos (the worse) usually face terrible traffic because of high population, but at least the one in Portharcourt isn't as terrible as Lagos

At least you met reception where item 7 would be served 😅😅😅😅
Traffic can make one lose an important meeting or project. It's really sad that nothing is not being done to improve the life of people when travelling or going for an urgent stuff.

we can't predict when traffic jams will occur and at what point there will be congestion, but traffic jams are commonplace and often occur anywhere.

I feel your pain, I don't know why some of these things don't happen until when you have something very important to do. I can't imagine how angry you were that day. Sorry ko🙃

Traffic in Nigeria is a bad experience honestly...if we look at the capacity of infrastructural facilities which is enough to build a solid and standard road. No vex for those things we go survive for naija
