    Planning a road trip in Naija? Whether it’s Lagos to Enugu or Abuja to Calabar, here’s what you must check before hitting the road:

    Tyres: Make sure they’re properly inflated with good tread. Don’t forget your spare and tools!

    Engine oil & fluids: Check your oil, brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid. No shortcuts here overheating is real.

    Lights & signals: From headlamps to brake lights, ensure they’re working. You’ll need them especially on highways or night drives.

    Brakes & battery: Test your brakes for any delay. Also, confirm your battery is strong and terminals are clean.

    Fuel level: Don’t assume you’ll find a petrol station midway. Fill your tank before departure.

    Emergency kit: Torchlight, first aid box, jumper cables, warning triangle, and a power bank all must be in your boot.

    Documents: Carry your license, vehicle papers, insurance, and ID. FRSC or police can stop you anytime.

    Google Maps & cash: Some places have no network or POS. Download your route and hold cash.

    Final tip: Always tell someone where you’re headed. Nigeria’s road trips are fun, but you must stay sharp and prepared.
