I am from India and I lived in Enugu and Makurdi from 1977 to 1980. I was 25 years old then. I had Volkswagen beetle then. I have passed through this Milliken hill so many times. For a short time I even stayed in the Hilltop motel on top if the hill. The road used to be always choked with traffic and I used to pray for traffic less ride in this scenic road. What a great memory of the road and Enugu town, zik Ave where I worked, ogbete market, Kingsway, Leventis, uwani, ogui road, etc. I thank God for the beautiful experience of the town and it's people. May God bless Nigeria and it's citizens.
That's such a heart warming memory. Beetle was the car of the moment back then. 😃 I am happy you enjoyed your stay in Nigeria. God Bless you and yours too.
Here are other videos of Enugu for your enjoyment:

Thank GOD who has kept you alive till this day, more grace for you
Wow impressive sir
Came to Enugu Nigeria at 4 years old. 1976-1983.
Was terrified of going through Milliken Hill road.
The only time I wasn't afraid was when the cliffside cashew trees were full of ripe fruits. We picked what we could reach.
My dad or my mom always had a hand on my shirt so I would not even get near the edge. We always had to pass there to get to Nsukka or Abakaliki.
My dad would be sad to hear that traffic now occurs in the expressways.
I do hope his architectural city planning is implemented. One of his fears was graft & corruption would destroy the city planning implementation when he left.
From what I see now in videos - a lot of things are okay. I cannot understand why the people are kept poor by politicians when you have an endless supply of sweet crude oil. I do remember my father talking to another foreigner. The foreigner was also in the oil business and did say you have the best oil in the world.
Let us hope it leads to the prosperity & happiness of Nigeria.
The Philippines is also being destroyed by politicians from within. Our countries are wealthy but people are mostly poor or kept poor deliberately by politicians.
I am so proud of my state Enugu and all the administrations that ensured that this hill road is preserved. In the 70s, when you have to pass this road, you will pray and cry and swear you will never pass through it again. And the following Christmas you will do exactly the same thing!🤣
First went through Milikin Hill in 1966 beautiful part of Enugu State...there used to be a radio station back in the day
Best state in Nigeria to me...I am biased yes🎉
It's amazing/Captivating how the scenery on Mama Flo's road trip drew me Hubby's attention. He was literally explaining every nook and cranny in this video.
Thanks again Mami for taking me hubby thru this trip with ya'll. We definitely enjoyed watching 👀😀🙌🏾👌🏾🤟🏾💛💛✌🏾Cheers!👍🏾
Thank you for this post, my sister. It's been a long time since I visited Nigeria, so post like this make me very proud of our country. Enugu has developed tremendously and it is a tribute to the spirit and hard work of the people. Please keep the videos coming.
love this, it's like driving in Jamaica.
Looking like st. Elizabeth from above
Milikinhill as we foundly call it lol is now beautiful. Ogbete main market is more organised and beautiful than new market. Am waiting for the next video it will be lit. Thanks for showing us around. We are with you spiritually
Thanks, Flo. It was great to see Milliken hilltop road again! My childhood phobia of the treacherous road without barricades has been cured after watching your video.
Hahahaha That's good! It's actually fun now. I wish I can drive through it at night. I saw the street lights there and I could not help but imagine how beautiful it would be at night.
Thanks I love your videos because you actually put lots of effort to make people understand and see Nigeria. Thanks a million.
Next time you from the High court in Enug where you went the express was less than 5 minutes. You get to the Enugu Ph express road and drive towards PH until you get to 4 corner. Make a right and drive the 4 corner which will burst out in Udine. Make left and follow the old road towards Oji River/ Awka. This whole thing will take you less an hour
That's the one we took the second trip but it's not any closer o, it's just a bit smoother. And we really really wanted to see what Milliken Hill Road looked like after all these years. 😁😄 Great experience.
I can see you know 042 very well, but which one is Udine?
@@onyinyeglory2951 It was a typo. I meant Udi which is my hometown
Chioke1100, you 💅 nailed it. That's the road Flo should have taken. I think they call part of it 4- corner. You'll burst out at the Road Safety Training School. It's a beautiful road net work over there. I drove on that road a few times after suffering a tire- blow out on the 9th mile-- Nachi road( old road).
I really feel Flo's pain on that first trip.
Hi Chi, congrats on the progress of your mansion. I've been waiting for the update for 3 years now and you finally did. I like the plan and will like to duplicate same thing at my village. Can I buy it from you?
That hill is very dangerous. I have been on it a couple of times. Glad you were able to accomplish what you went for. Hope you had a safe trip home. Can't wait for more village vlogs. Thanks for sharing Flo.
Yes o but with the barrier, we were comfortable driving through it. This road in those days eh! The fear is real. 😁😄 Thank you.
See me just looking at the road and houses, seeing the red sand by the roadside is making me home sick
Me too
You were right, that was Onoh's house you saw. Thanks for the nostalgic memory lane! Enugu is indeed a beautiful city and very clean.
Talking about buying fuel, you’re supposed to fill up your tank in town before embarking On a journey that will lead you outside of that town. So that before you will need a gas refill, you must have entered another town.
Ok thanks Vivian. 😍
Ifunanya we know you've always done things perfectly in your life but forget about blame for one second, you are telling me it's OK for a whole town not to have a single filling station? The ourney through the town was at least 25 minutes. Mba. They need at least 2 filling stations on that stretch.
@@FloChinyere I meant no disrespect. Am only saying what should be done because of unforeseen circumstances like this. Truly every town should have fuel station but this is Nigeria. So to avoid being stranded, we should be double ready that’s all am saying. Not about being perfect.✌️✌️✌️✌️
@@ifunanyagrace2420 you were sounding rightous. she already said that to her brother in the video.
OMG!!! this is so beautiful thank you for the upload, took me back to those days when the rd was a death trap. The gov did a nice job
U remind me of Enugu,nice video welcome home,
As I am watching all this your Naija blogs, I am missing Naija the more. Anyway I can't wilt for next year to come by GOD GRACE, I will be the one to be bloging by that time hahaha. Thanks beautiful sister FLO for all this your Naija videos.
You passed two petrol stations, the first at the top of the hill, the next before the Anglican Cathedral. You clearly weren't paying attention.
Road and warning signs needed especially at those bends. Beautiful scenery
was in enugu last year, took same route to 9th mile, a lovely sight to behold.
Thank you for this memory trip along Milliken. It was an anxious trip as a kid, especially whenever there's a crash down those valleys👍.
Akwata is side of ogbete(old market/main market) towards the road to coal quarters(in coal camp). Where u were, is new market(relief market).
Beautiful.........very scenic route flo. Thankyou.
Chaiiiii see bendy and ELEVATED roaddddd......this keke is brave oooh 😳
We saw lots of keke on that road, dem no dey fear at all.
Thank you so much my dear sister,god bless u for showing me how enugu state look like now,I really happy, thank for that,I hail from ngwo in udi local government in enugu state
It is so much fun taking up along with you on this trip. Very lovely environment and beautiful place. Thanks for uploading
😘
Back in the days chayi thanks for uploading the video it's me to remember when I use to treck from comprehensive secondary school ozougwu to enugu ngwo ayalogu farm how I wish they can turn the hands of clock
That thumbnail view is so beautiful 🤩
Nostalgia!! Enugu on my mind!!!
Flo you've got such a class in your videos
Nostalgic right now, chai!!
Nice drive through the hill. I always enjoy in rides because of the music.
☺☺☺🎵🎵
I remember going on one of those yellow bus that have 3 wheels, it was so scary 😳, thanks for the tour
Hi Flo , I haven't heard from you since your last tour last Christmas , nice seeing again
Sheldon , Los Angeles CA,
I remember the first and last time I went through this route during a friends wedding, you are right no barrier then, I cried to and from vowed never to step my feet there again. Thanks Flo
Aww! Then it was scary and I swear it was much narrower.
Nicely done, taking us along on your journey 😀. Having the test of Nigeria through your uploads. Flo..your Google map is it not working 😕..Watch it ooh..if fuel finish it is hard enough to get help..
Beautiful hill Road ✌️🇳🇬🇩🇪
A long stratch of road,good for those along the way to set up fuel station.Glad u guys mde it to the nxt fuel station
Nne, the last time i took that road was more 30 years ago.
Me 25 years ago. I actually school in Ngwo Boys...
This video made my husband's day. He is from Enugu.
❤you flow. I remember your 1st video about watch hours. You explained very well. And i love you ever since. You are so funny.
It look like spain hill
Nawao Aunty flo you dey remember something oh when you where in secondary school am it's over 20 years now
lol We went on that excursion in the late 80s. My memory is photographic.
The first time I passed through this route in 2010, heart attack 😂😂😂. But when I pass of recent, I'm not so scared. I love my state so much. Enugu 🎉🎉 indeed, Hill top
You passed one filling station just after the millikin hill and you will see another one at St Mary...my village is not poor abeg
Thanks I was getting pissed off reading all the comments about opportunity this and that, here and there. Let me once again retort that Enugu Ngwo is a residential area we know where and when to fill up also the route from Enugu to 9th mile corner is not a thoroughfare, there is no pressing requirement for a petrol station and should not be associated with any form of POVERTY I resent that statement.
@@nesbitonyur1959 Well Noted
Filling station has nothing to do with being poor, in a densely populated area, it could be catastrophic.
Present 💝
Wow, that barrier by the side of the road is a great safety measure, Maka na motor ndi Peace that has fallen inside that valley is uncountable.
It's less scary now.
There should be filling station there na, Ndi Ngwo abiakwa!
Waiting for the subsequent uploads Aunty Flo. Well done
We just wanted to experience the road again after all these years. We did not know what to expect but it was a relief to see that barrier, it made me feel safe eziokwu.
Chai ooo at accidents on that road. The worst part is that vehicles that fell in could not get help.
Nne the lack of filling station on that stretch shocked me o. Maybe an Ngwo indigene can explain to us why they don't have one.
The road is safer now. I drive through it everyday to and from work.
I have passed this route before as a young girl. I was so scared, I thought that the bus will fall into the valley below. The barriers are very good. Thanks for sharing.
Aunty flo you are doing a Nice job
Took this road to anambra state and recorded and uploaded a driving video as well. Love this road :) *your favorite Philly girl 🇺🇸 in Enugu, 🇳🇬*
I remember several years back, we were travelling from Enugu to Onitsha through the Milken hill. Our vehicle almost got stuck on the hill, causing a terrible holdup. The drivers were blaring their horns, and abusing our driver. We managed to get to ninth mile, then there was a heavy downpour, and our journey was aborted
They tried by providing dat dwarf walls.
It wasnt there years back.my home town Enugu.
I waiting to catch a glimpse Umumba Ndiuno my maternal Village, it is along the Enugu - Onitsha express. Miliken Hill it always scary travelling through that road in the past, what a relief that to see those barriers it's a welcome safety measure.
Awww. Ive already filmed the express on our way to Enugu. Watch this one to see if you'll see it: th-cam.com/video/2pqyYn-ooeo/w-d-xo.html
Am from umumba ndiuno, Where is your maternal home.
You just passed two fuel stations na kuchaghali onu Anambra sikwa Anambra asighi. For your information, Ogbete was there before Aria market (Newmarket) Newmarket was built as a temporal market when Ogbete got burnt, can't remember the year now.
😂😂😂 It is that ịkụchaghali ọnụ that made you comment abi? hehehe You came to kọọ ọnụ! But why are those two filling stations so hidden? Ngwo needs at least one mega filling station so agaghi ama ya ama, iwọtago?
Oh wait, Ogbete, the whole market was there before New Market? Thanks for the info. I thought it was only Akwata that was there o.
Thanks you Anty Flo, for taking me to that road,it been a long time,l left Enugu Ngwo.
Those houses is called golf Estate,Nice vlog.
Ehe, I was wondering. Thanks for the info. Where do you access the estate from? Through the Iva Valley road?
@@FloChinyere No it's on the left if you are if you are entering New Market round about. The Esate is over 15 years now if am right..Ada you Aunty flow you took me back to my secondary( Colliery Comprehensive Secc.)Ngow boys. Just on the right before after Late Sam Orji House. What a Nostalgic feeling. God dalu rie nne Biko
@@michaelodo1371 you are welcome. 😊
By New market round about do you mean the one at the end of the express road?
I wish naija would implement the double yellow line to divide the on coming and on going traffic.
Present! Anyi alandi go🥰
Hey hey❤❤
@@SPrincessbeneficialknowledge Hey Dear💖💖
@@AdorableKitchen 👸🏾
Hey.. good evening..
I asking about ADRON company
Which selling properties in Nigerian by installment system!! Do you have an idea about it?!
I left Nigeria yesterday... I back home 🏠
I passed the road for the first time on the 15th of January 2021 and I was just wondering how they built such road. The government of Enugu state really tried 👍 Thanks
me too i miss home dearly, but I did not see you test PALM WINE , why?
Ngwo my lovely home
And you are an Onoh. Confirmed Ngwo person. 👍
Yes dear. It is Onoh house
ngwo is my village,we have filling stations oh
I was practically screaming Flo go left, I used that road often on my way to Etiti Ngwo.
Nne, unfortunately my in-laws don't have a filling station around there, only one is in nineth mile.
FLO NWA MAMA. WE ARE GETTING HOOKED ON YOUR SHOW OOOO
That milikin hill is also Ngwo ma
Yes onoh Ono okpa house hahahahaha 😂 😂 😂 is that fence with brick or designed stone painted white and black then i don't know whether they have changed the colors now. But i can recalled vividly during my school days at university of Nigeria 🇳🇬 Nsukka i do drive through this road ngwo slash milking hill
You were right sis Flo,na Onoh house be that .
Daalu.
Your video content is amazing. I felt like I was actually driving that car. LOL
You should have bought petrol in Enugu New Market. Ngwo is a residential area for that no filling stations.
That residential area part is a joke, right? 😂😂😂 Wait till an Anambra man watches this video and sees the business opportunity.
@@FloChinyere ☺️yes indeed. In Nigeria everything may happens. But I guess as much that you won't prefer to have a filling stations positioned beside your home at the risk of lives and your savings?. You see how it done abroad don't you? .. I enjoy your videos anyway. 😀
@@m.joseph9661 This is not about Nigeria. Even in all western countries I have been to, there are filling stations within residential areas. The way filling stations are constructed in Nigeria is that ample land is given to it such that residential homes are not close to it. On the other hand, in London for instance, some filling stations are in front of convenience stores in highly populated residential areas.
In Nigeria, filling stations get more clearance from adjacent buildings than in Europe to be honest. It's only USA that have excess land that give more clearance than Nigeria. I guess that nobody in Ngwo is interested in building one. So being a residential area is not an excuse, filling stations don't blow up like that. Neither is it a case of anything goes in Nigeria.
PS expressing your opinion on this channel does not mean you don't enjoy the videos. I don't know why some people see the need to say that during an exchange. 🙄😂This is a free zone but just be open to me countering your opinion. hehehe It's all just in light banter.
@@FloChinyere 🤣🤣. In Nigeria, would you like to have a filling station sited around your home considering how Nigerian things work ?. Yes or No and the arguement closes.
First I would never buy land for my residential building along the road. In Nigeria, I prefer gated estates or the kind of place our house is in the village, inside-inside far away from traffic noise.
Anyone who buys land along the road have to be ready for anything they get because your next neighbour might well be a filling station. The land will be empty to start with but maybe when you have completed your building, they will land and begin construction because it is allowed. Will you run away? No. Stop being afraid, they don't blow up like that. Fear-fear. But accidents happen and even when you are far away from all filling stations along the road, a petrol tanker can ram into a building, God forbid but it happens.
And you are diverting the argument. It was whether filling stations are built in residential areas or not. Stay on track maaan. 🤣🤣
You passed two gas stations in Enugwu Ngwo before reaching 9th Mile
Best to have petrol stations like it is better for Clear fresh air. ✅
The people are not suffering they like it so as it is😷🎄
Nice video, love to know the title of the song been played at d background
There are several songs in the video, which one?
@@FloChinyere the song at the background when you ended the journey at Ngwo, i love it
Nne! ... Your Brother is a good driver O! But that fake Okpa made me laugh out loud :)
Who told you., you already pass it, is two filling station there
Yes that was onoh's house
Yes, that's Onohs house.
How did you manage with Data in naija
Yes is onoh's house
Awesome video! I just recently uploaded a drive-through video as well of Enugu : ) lovely to see my city through your lens :)
How did manage with Data in naija
Hi anty flo🥰
Flo thanks for sharing again....I found myself being so angry watching the driving.....jezzzzz!!!! Driving without regard of life, driving over the red light. I honestly can't drive in Naija. What will it take us as a people to calm down....the way the cars just jump in front of moving cars with speed 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️.
Nnaah ehhhh this hill route make sense die, I miss my state, 042 is the real deal
You passed two filling stations already
They will have black market there.
Wow dts my village ....
They do PATIENCE OZOKWOR FUEL STATION U PASSED IT ALREADY.
Wow Enugu couldn't have been the capital city of Nigeria
Look at Enugu roads well maintained, imo state our oil money going south,no infrastructure.Aba even worse now a refuse dump,shame on Abia Govt.
go and check abia roads now....you are still living in the past
@@chiranking777it's now that aba roads are ok, the time you commented the roads there where bad
No Google maps no petrol station that's a business opportunity right there. Start a mapping software for enugu and maybe the entire Eastern region and a petrol station in ngwo flo😂😂. Nigerian disappointments can be a great potential of immense business success though.A racing track in that milliken Hill area would be fun and a great source of income for the state.... Love you Nigeria the motherland, Sending blessings. Thank you.
Exactly! An Anambra man will jump at the opportunity to build a mega filling station there. 😂
My guy come and race on the hill so when you crash, you and your car and allllll your bad idea will dissappear inside the hills Bush forever 😂😂😂
Flo that's why back then we begged federal government to build you that express way so you with leave us Wawa's alone.
@@nesbitonyur1959 Evil man with your evil thoughts,why not see the good and think good for once?l quess that's just too hard for your small mind.l don't actually mean on that road itself but somewhere around the milliken hill that would take advantage of the surrounding.....
@@suntanglory
Suntan Glory, you've seen 👀 better. In our environment back home, our people don't care for recreation anymore. It's not that they're evil or anything like that. I noticed a lot of that in the past four years. Any ideas that appear original, they'll shut you down.
I can't even drive in Nigeria again, watching this alone is scarring. I don't know how people drive in Nigeria.
You need a special mental licence to drive in Naija. This one is nothing compared to driving in Lagos. 😂
@@FloChinyere I couldn't even finish watching the video. This is ridiculously insane. Pls stay safe.
Yagazie
That's his house🏠🏠
You should have used gps my sister
That house was Onoh’s house 🏠
1. You missed your 1st gas station at 1:57 -2:06 when you stopped to ask for direction at the Iva Valley junction.
2. Almost 6 mins later, U Passed on ur 2nd opportunity to buy fuel just after Milliken Hill in Enugu Ngwo at 7:44 in your video, gas station on your right was even captured in your video.
3. 3rd opportunity to fill up on your left at 8:36 but you’re more interested in find “be Onoh”...
4. At 9:50 you passed Patience Ozokwor’s fuel station on your right while complaining that “onwero nke Ifu”...
4. Next time please stop & ask if you can’t find a gas station, just like you asked for directions. You are not in Anambra that have fuel stations everywhere just like you rightly said.
No, Aunty Flo just want long drive to get maximum enjoyment whilst in Nigeria🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hehehe I am just using one stone to kill two birds. If not for the paperwork I went to get, nothing would take me to Enugu ooo. But I enjoyed it so much! 💃💃💃
You drove past Hill Angesa and Expression. Sorry for you o Flo
No fueling station.🤔🤔🤔 I see business opportunity 🙂
For real!
@@FloChinyere aunty flo, i am in the Diaspora, Nigeria is my country of choice, without a doubt to move to. Thanks for taking me along for the ride through Enugu State. Very interesting
NO you see nothing there's no need for a petrol station or it would have been there, Ngwo is purely a residential area those going one direction will see petrol at 9th mile or at enugu depending. you notice vehicle restriction also petrol pump stations have an impact on the environment and there is safety aspect, so dont worry yourself with bright ideas of business investment ibeg, ehe ant flo but you didn't look for Okpa Ngwo/9th mile.... Na Oyoyo.
