Abuja to Lokoja in 8hrs

I decided to take a road trip from Abuja to Lagos, instead of flying.
My bus left Abuja by 09.15WAT, and the journey proceed well. Just after crossing River Niger, at 12.00, we met a traffic hold (aka go-slow). It fast went to jam!

Google Maps says its under 3hrs! :(

After waiting for any movement and decided to walk ahead to investigate the problem.
Found out that there was a multi vehicle collision, involving 3 Trucks, and a bus. Even though the road has been cleared by 10.00 today, a massive traffic was caused by Impatience of drivers.
I have noticed that its the main problem on Nigeria roads, impatient on the roads. Turning a single lane into triple or quad lane!
