Nigerian travel content creator Peluni Nubi has began 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, Liberai, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin and finally Nigeria, reaching Lago”-Ms 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.
She last week said that the trip had taken one year of planning and saving. An avid traveler, Ms Nubi has visited 80 countries. She often showcases her travel exploits on her social media accounts.
