Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has opened up about why she avoids road trips in Nigeria, especially journeys that go beyond the Lagos–Ibadan route.
The actress made this known during a recent interview with media personality VJ Adams, where she explained that her dislike for long-distance road travel in Nigeria is largely due to concerns about security and poor infrastructure. Interestingly, Shaffy noted that she has no problem embarking on road trips when she is abroad.
According to her, this preference has even influenced her lifestyle and social interactions, as she mostly relies on air and water transportation when moving around within the country.
“I prefer water and air transportation. I don’t like road trips. I can do road trips abroad, but in Nigeria, no, thank you,” she said.
Shaffy further revealed that she only makes an exception for road travel in Nigeria if the person she is visiting is extremely important to her. Otherwise, she avoids such trips altogether.
“I can only consider road trips in Nigeria if the person I am going to see is extremely dear to me. And everybody knows me now—they say, ‘Don’t invite her, she won’t come.’ Once it is farther than Ibadan, count me out,” she added.
