Friends are everything we need, so as to enjoy life that is how the spirit of sportsmanship carried me from Owerri imo state to Uyo in Akwaibom and into the biggest stadium in West Africa, Gods will Akpabio International stadium Uyo with my friends.
How the journey started
It all started in the early hours of 27th day of December 2024 being Friday I entered a bus to going to uyo because i wasn't driving myself and it is much fun using the public transport here in Nigeria because when other passengers enter there are lots of interesting discussion which most times educative, that is why i enjoy it.
The journey from Owerri to Uyo is 3 hour journey passing through Abia State, and you will use 3 method of transportation, motorcycle, tricycle and bus as the case may be.
In my own case i used the 3. Starting the journey with a bus the bus drove through Owerri to Aba and on getting to Aba the the first stage of the journey ended i had to enter tricycle from Aba main park to Opobo junction, in Opobo junction i boarded a motorcycle going to Ikot ekpene though it is very risky and costly but is more fun using it. Secondly i was able to see and feel the environment. The bikers takes two passengers so they have to force to sit with a stranger, in my own case it was this fat lady she almost push me out, i was struggling to hold tight the frame of the motorcycle so as not to fall. I was not able to take a picture because doing that will be very dangerous our cyclist was busy speeding on 60km per hour on partly smooth and rough road. After 50mins of ridding we got to Ikot ekpene. In ikot ekpene where i plan to spend the night with friend. I give him a call and he instructed me to wait at ikot ekpene Plaza and in few minutes he came to pick me, we drove through Abak road ikot ekpene and finally we got to No. 50 Abak road and here i will be spending the night with friends. We ate and drank and sleep.
What happens Next?
The next day the 28th we continued the journey to Uyo main town, i had to join a public bus again, we drove straight and smoothly to uyo. From ikot ekpene to uyo is a smooth drive, and about 25mins drive.
On getting to uyo we were told about the CHAN qualifier match between Nigeria super Eagles and black star of Ghana. We watched the match, i had lots of fun watching Nigeria win Ghana 3 goals to 1.
Friends are everything we need.
