5 reasons to consider a road trip before the end of the year

Published

on

A road trip can be so much fun and adventurous that you might anticipate your next trip even before the current one is over.

No doubt, traveling by air is faster but traveling by road can provide you with a certain level of flexibility and freedom that you’d like. For instance, you can pack as many suitcases as you want, as long as they can fit into the trunk of your vehicle.

You can also take breaks at any point that you like. You know what? Check out these 5 other reasons to consider taking a road trip before the end of the year.

You get to cross off some travel destinations on your bucket list without spending extra money
Traveling by road will give a view of your country that you are less likely to see when you travel by air. You also get to visit some of your favorite travel destinations while on the trip.

That way, you’ll be exploring more destinations at little to no extra cost. Isn’t that exciting?

You get the opportunity to make some unforgettable memories
To get to your destination, you’ll most likely find yourself driving through different towns, cities, and states. The good thing about this is that you can take breaks in between to visit the local store or restaurant to grab something to eat real quick.

You’ll get to meet different people, experience some of their cultures and perhaps eat their delicacies, something you won’t be able to do when flying.

You get the opportunity to bond with friends and loved ones
A quick tip: Road trips are more fun when you go with your loved ones.

Because you’re spending more time on the road to get to your destination, you get to bond more with your loved ones.

You also get to witness the highs and lows of the trip together, giving you something to talk and laugh about, even after the trip is over.

You can take the time to relax
Being on the road for such long hours with absolutely nothing else to do gives you an opportunity to relax, connect with nature, and take your mind off work or other stressful events in your life. It’s a good opportunity to rest and feel relaxed.

You get to enjoy an adventure
The very idea of traveling by road is an adventure. You can take the time to check out somewhere that a friend once recommended, and do all sorts of spontaneous activities.

The two-day festival took place on April 6 and 7.

A now-viral video captures Rema expressing his dissatisfaction with the sound quality, calling it “messed up” and stating it was hindering his performance.

He also called for equal treatment regarding sound quality for all artistes.

“It is too messed up. I am representing Africa, this is too messed up. If the sound cannot be perfect for every artiste that gets on this stage… Africa is in the house and you are messing sh*t up? I will walk out this stage bruh, fix it!”

Controversy trails Flavour’s performance at RCCG pastor Siju’s party

Siju, a pastor and wife of the Idowu Iluyomade, a senior pastor at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), City of David, Lagos, has set tongues wagging on social media for inviting secular singer Flavour to perform at her birthday party.

Siju, who is also a lawyer, speaker and activist, turned 60 last week.

She then celebrated the occasion at the Eko Hotels in Victoria Island in a grand style on Sunday.

The colourful and glamorous birthday party was graced by some notable figures, monarchs and the crème de la crème of the entertainment industry.

The attendees included Tony Elumelu, Toke Makinwa, Ali Baba, and Kenny Saint Brown, as well as Rasaq and Shade Okoya, among others.

In viral videos, Flavour, who was one of the performing artistes, was seen entertaining the guests with hit songs from his music catalogue.

In one of the videos, the singer also serenaded the celebrant on stage while she danced along to his performance.

The footage, however, attracted heated controversy on social media. Several Nigerians on X questioned why a secular artiste like Flavour should be performing at the birthday party of a pastor.

“When you see 60th birthday celebration of PASTOR Siju Illuyomade, then you will know why some people are STILL running away from church!” a user wrote.

Another user added in a lengthy post: “RCCG Pastor Siju Iluyomade, the wife of the senior Pastor of one of the biggest RCCG Parish held her 60th birthday party this weekend and Flavour was the lead artist but no gospel musician”.

Here is what some users had to say:
