LAND

There are a number of different ways to travel by land.

One way is by road, and the methods by which road can be traveled include cars (commonly called motto), buses, taxi cabs, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. Also, I believe animals are used in certain parts of the country, like horses, etc.

In large cities such as Lagos, road congestion can be a big problem, so people are accustomed to leaving plenty of time to get from source to destination, especially in the mornings. Also, in terms of road conditions, many of the roads in the cities are paved, but some of the more rural areas still contain dirt roads.

The other main way is by railroad. There are over 3500 km of railway. The main routes run from Lagos to Kano, Porta Harcourt to Maiduguri, Zaria to Gusau and Kaura Namoda.
