Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has revealed that she does not enjoy travelling by road in Nigeria, especially for long distances beyond the Lagos–Ibadan route.
Speaking during a recent interview with VJ Adams, the actress explained that while she enjoys road trips abroad, Nigeria’s infrastructure and security concerns make her uncomfortable with long-distance road travel.
Bello said she prefers air and marine transportation within the country, noting that road trips in Nigeria are only an option under very special circumstances.

“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.
According to the actress, her stance has significantly affected her social life, as friends and colleagues now assume she will decline invitations that involve long road journeys.
“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 go, ‘Don’t invite her, she won’t come.’ Once it is farther than Ibadan, count me out,” Bello added.
Her comments have sparked conversations online about road safety, infrastructure, and travel preferences among Nigerians.
