# Uselu

Uselu is a district of Benin City in Edo State, in Nigeria.

## Understand

Uselu is a densely populated district of Benin City. It is the home of the local government of Egor. Yuzuru is the location of a traditional complex of Edaiken N'Uselu (Duke of Uselu) and Iyoba Palace in Benin.
Uselu has a high percentage of gangster activity, pesticides, and armed robbery. In many cases, police response times are inconveniently slow and are generally publicly criticized.

### Climate

The weather in Uselu, Nigeria, covers temperatures ranging from 23°C to 27°C. The humidity is high, making it feel warmer, with a peak "feels-like" temperature of 32°C. Winds are light, coming from the southwest, and visibility may be reduced during heavy rain.

## Get in
### By plane

Travelers that want to go to Uselu by air have to make use of Benin airport which serves Benin city the capital of Edo state. All things being equal (average speed of your car will be standard for this route, and road conditions will be as usual) you will need 1 hour to arrive from A 121, Benin City, Nigeria to Uselu Market Bus Stop, Benin city, Nigeria.
There are buses readily available to transport people from the Airport to Uselu.

### By train

As of 2022, there are no train services operating on the line. However, in the 1990s there was a continuous provision of rail transport in Benin.

### By bus

There are many reliable bus transport companies that come to Uselu from other cities and states. You can either take a bus going to Edo state or take a bus going to the capital city (Benin city).The average cost of travelling to Uselu by bus from the South-South and South-East is ₦1,700 while the average cost of travelling to Uselu from the other parts of Nigeria is ₦5,000. Reliable transport companies such as the Young Shall Grow, Abia line, God is Good Motors, Faith Motors Peace Mass Transit, Imo Transort Company (ITC), and Iyare motors are readily available to convey people from different parts of the country to Benin city, after which travellers can navigate their way to Uselu.

## Get around

Travelling in Uselu is not that difficult. The roads are fairly well maintained and the city is well connected and networked. If you're arriving by plane, there's a taxi at the airport that's affordable and you can get anywhere. And when you arrive on the road and are taken to a transportation service terminal, you will also find a taxi that will take you everywhere.You can also book a Bolt that will take you to and fro. Taxi and bus should be painted red or burgundy on the body and yellow on the roof. You can also get a cab that is ridden mostly by men from the north called Aboki. However, there are some buses and taxis that do not follow this norm.
Most roads lead to the ring roads. Therefore, to get to some places, you actually have to take the ring road and take another bus or taxi to your destination. There is no standard bus stop in the city which makes it hard for bus drivers to stop passengers on the road. Therefore, if you are in a utility vehicle that arrives at your destination, you will usually warn the driver of a "stop" or "drop" and then stop. If you don't, the driver will always show you past your destination, so don't hesitate to say this.
In addition to buses and taxis, you can also travel around the city by motorbike or tricycle also known as keke. However, the state has a law prohibiting the transportation of commercial motorcycles from 7PM to 6AM but allow buses and taxi to ride since the roads have good solar lighting on the major roads
