London to Lagos solo driver Pelumi Nubi arrives in Nigeria after 68 days, receives a heroic welcome (Video)

Starting her trip in England, Nubi passed through France and Spain, ventured into Morocco, across the expansive West Sahara Desert, and continued through Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, and Benin before finally arriving in Lagos.

In 2022, the travel content creator, at age 27, documented her adventures in 77 countries, surpassing 80 of the world’s 193 nations.

In her quest for adventure, Nubi aimed to demonstrate to the world that the concept of “impossible” is merely a word, emphasizing that with sufficient grit and determination, obstacles deemed impossible can be overcome.

Gboyega Akosile, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, posted on X: “Lagos State Government gives a hero’s welcome to @peluminubi_, a Nigeria-British citizen who did a solo drive from London to Lagos.

“Pelumi was received at the Nigeria-Benin Republic border on behalf of Lagos State Government by the Hon Commissioner of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs Toke Benson-Awoyinka and the Special Adviser, Tourism, Arts and Culture @IdrisConnecting.
