Open it in a map
These open Ede-Oballa, Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria — the town. A map will bring you that far reliably. Amama sits inside the community and is not pinned on public maps, so the last part of the journey is asked for, not searched for. The stages below say what to ask.
The journey, stage by stage
3 of 5 stages are recorded. The last ones need the family to fill them in — a landmark everybody knows, and whom to ask for on arrival.
Reach Enugu State
By air, the nearest airport is Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu. By road, Enugu is reached from Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Onitsha on the main routes.
Travel to Nsukka

Go to Ede-Oballa

Before you travel
- Tell someone at home you are coming. Arriving unannounced in a village you have never seen is harder than it needs to be.
- Save this page before you set out. It works with no network once it has been opened.
- Know your own line. Being able to say whose son or daughter you are will place you faster than any address — find your name in the family.
