Shaffy Bello Explains Why She Avoids Long Road Trips in Nigeria

Popular Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has openly shared her strong reservations about embarking on long-distance road travel within Nigeria, revealing that she avoids road trips that extend beyond the Lagos–Ibadan axis.

During a recent sit-down conversation with media personality VJ Adams, the veteran film star spoke candidly about her transportation preferences and how they differ when she is inside the country compared to when she travels overseas. According to her, while she enjoys road journeys in foreign countries, the situation in Nigeria makes such trips uncomfortable for her.

Shaffy Bello explained that her decision is influenced largely by concerns related to road conditions and personal safety. She emphasized that these factors have led her to rely more on air travel and water transportation whenever she needs to move around Nigeria.

The actress further disclosed that her strong dislike for road trips within the country has had a noticeable impact on her social engagements. Because many events or personal visits require long drives, she often declines invitations that involve extensive road travel.

Sharing her thoughts directly, Bello made it clear that road journeys in Nigeria are not something she is willing to compromise on easily. While she is open to traveling by road abroad, she draws a firm line when it comes to similar trips locally.

She also noted that she might only reconsider if the person she is visiting holds a very special place in her heart. Even at that, distance remains a major deciding factor. According to her, once the destination goes beyond Ibadan, she is unlikely to make the trip.

Over time, this stance has become well known among her friends and associates. As a result, many people now assume she will decline invitations that involve long road travel and often choose not to invite her at all.

Shaffy Bello’s comments reflect a broader conversation about transportation challenges in Nigeria and how they influence lifestyle choices, even for public figures. Her remarks underline the importance of infrastructure, security, and convenience in shaping travel preferences within the country.
