Nigerian woman set to drive from London to Lagos
Ms Pelumi Nubi, a Nigerian travel content creator is today
beginning an attempt to drive from London to Lagos, a journey of more than
7,000km (4,340 miles).
From
England, Ms Nubi will cross into France and Spain, before entering Africa
through Morocco.
"After
that, it's through the West Sahara desert, Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia,
Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast,
Ghana, Togo, Benin, and finally Nigeria, reaching Lagos," Nubi said of her
travel route.
While
similar driving challenges have been done on the London-Lagos route before, Ms
Nubi said she believed she was the first black woman to attempt the journey.
"But
hey, this isn't about breaking records. It's about showing the world that
'impossible' is just a word," she said when she first announced the
challenge last November.
Last
week, Nubi said that the trip had taken one year of planning and saving.
An avid
traveller, Nubi has visited 80 countries. She often showcases her travel
exploits on her social media accounts.
