(Dele Momodu)--Fellow Nigerians, let me confess that my trip to the
ancient city of Ife last Thursday was a most harrowing experience. As a matter
of fact, the drive itself was very smooth devoid of the usual hurly-burly on
that notorious Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. We set forth on our journey around noon
not knowing what to expect along the way. Road travel in Nigeria has defied
common logic. You require methods to the malfeasance and madness of our
dare-devil drivers. We drove all the way to Ibadan without any major drama of
bottlenecks and we thanked God for journey mercies.
The second leg of our journey was from Ibadan to
Ile-Ife.
