After 68 days of driving, Pelumi Nubi, a UK-based Nigerian travel content creator has finally arrived in Lagos to a heroic welcome, completing an epic solo road trip from London, United Kingdom, to Lagos, Nigeria.
The 28-year-old travel content creator embarked on her cross-country solo trip in a Peugeot 107 Hatchback on January 30th 2024.
Her ride traverse London – France – Spain – Morocco – Western Sahara Desert – Mauritania – Senegal – Gambia – Guinea-Bissau, – Guinea – Sierra Leone – Liberia– Mali – Burkina Faso – Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) – Ghana – Togo – Benin – Lagos.
Nubi was received at the Nigeria-Benin Republic border on behalf of Lagos state government by Commissioner of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs Toke Benson-Awoyinka and the Special Adviser, Tourism, Arts and Culture, Idris Aregbe.
Speaking to Vanguard on why she embarked on the road trip from London to Lagos, she said :
“I was trying to connect the two places I consider home. I was born in Lagos and I grew up in London, so I wanted to connect both places.
“Usually, I would fly in, but most times, I wanted to see what West Africa is like and this was an opportunity to do so. In terms of over land travel, there was not enough representation.”
On his part, Nubi’s father, Professor Nubi Gbenga, said:
“We are grateful to God because nobody deserves it other than Him. Whatever has happened is God’s blessings. It is not that we deserve it. Many times, we were scared.”
“For me, I was scared everyday, particularly when she was sleeping, because she was sleeping on the roadside in this tiny car (Peugeot 107). In the desert, she slept by the roadside, and woke up in the morning in a forest.”
