Seeing as you lot are hell on outdoing the other in this quest to prove that tooth ferries never existed despite there being not much evidence, I hereby move the motion that a high powered committee be constituded to probe if this lunatic in the making actually trekked from the land of lagoons to the centre of oyel unity. And for your information, I do not require any voice votes whatsoever to ratify this motion as I have already banged the gavel and I'm sure you all heard it loud and clear. And in case you already swallowed this jaundiced nonsense about a man telepotting from Montevideo to Alabama and you still want to disagree with my motion, please feel free to bang your head hard on the wall. @Lalasticala, please ignore the nay sayers as feeding these lost sheeps with too much grissles has robbed them of the ability to be critical thinkers. This happened once in my village and steps have been taken to ensure it never happens again. And to those who can't see this is a light hearted joke, please let me know you're interested in heading this juicy committee. |

I want to believe that APC doesn't hope to lead us this way; lies from the pit of hell. I hope delivering dividends of democracy to Nigerians will not follow this procedure; propoganda. I hope the roads they will tarre, power improvement, job creation, health care, quality education, drinkable water, food availabilty/improved agriculture, etc will not be a paper/media work. However, looking at the event of the day, am afraid they may continue like this; lies. In my opinion, Buhari is already popular even before and much so, after the election. So also APC as a party. They don't need this kind of concocted story and event to make him popular. Rather, the president-elect good leadership which we so anticipated should takeover from where the campaigne vibes and promotion brought by his victory stoped. We all know that the guy can not and have never treked Lagos-Abuja. |

From the analysis given so far, it is possible to trek that distance within that hour. But why are people making it APC thing? If you are doubting the guy kindly interview the guy and verify among the people at every stop where he passed the night from Lagos to Abuja during those 18 nights |

Some things doesn't add up. How the heck did he get to Niger state first before reaching Abuja?? Which comes first from Lagos? ABUJA OR NIGER?? It just doesn't add up. |

adanny01: This begs for more questions: 1. Was he walking consistently for 12 hours each day? 2. Where was he resting each night? 3. How did he handle those areas that have no inhabitants? 4. Was he wearing the same sweatshirt? How come it was not dirty? 5. How come he was looking so fresh when he hit Abuja? I believe it's possible but the time frame and some other things do not just add up! 1 Like |

CharlesPhc: You just failed the exam. Your post is an example of the degredation in our education system. This is JSS2 mathematics. Simple logic and proportional reasoning, you no fit apply. Average walking pace is 5km/hr Abuja to Lagos is 747 km Therefore it would take him only 747/5 = 149hrs In 18 days, he only needs to walk for 149/18 = 8.3 hrs a day to reach his target. Infact, he spent too long drinking stout and peppersoup with the Chiefs who hosted him on the way. A typical oyinbo hiker would walk 15hrs per day and complete this journey in just 10 days. 3 Likes |

expertfingers: 1. My assumption. Besides he spent 2 days in Suleja, so he definitely sleeps somewhere. 2. Remember that he mentioned he has used 5 pairs of shoes all which are bought for him in the towns he got to by people who wanted to contribute to his success, i believe a hotel or a private residence wont be a hard thing. 3. Am not sure there is any stretch of road in Nigeria where you can walk up to 12 hrs without getting to a town or at least a cluster of homes. The desert parts of Nigeria maybe but he didnt pass there. 4. Have you heard of wash and wear before? 5. He rested 2 whole days in Suleja and with adequate hospitality. Remember APC in Niger state dropped their contact number and he was said to have met Etsu Nupe in Bida and another Chief in Suleja. I believe the time frame was even too long, he would have been faster if he didn't take a lot of time resting in several places. 4 Likes |

[quote author=expertfingers post=32953185] Well, someone has answered your question downthread....but following [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith%27s_rule]Naismith's rule[/url]...assuming a speed of 5km/hr..with a distance of 745km..gives a time of 149 hours walking. Assuming he walked nonstop without rest..he could be in Abuja in seven days. Assuming he used 12 hours a day....he could be in Abuja in 12 days.(ie 60km a day.). 2. Where was he resting each night? Obviously. I read about an American ultramarathoner who ran from San Francisco to New York...and of course he rested every night.(He was quite fit too). 3. How did he handle those areas that have no inhabitants? Don't know...probably kept on walking. Plus...there are villages across the roads of SW and NC Nigeria. 4. Was he wearing the same sweatshirt? How come it was not dirty? a)It is the dry season. Probably washed it at night...or let it dry at night...and put it on the next day (As someone whose primary exercise is walking at least 6km a day...that's what I do!). b)Two similar sweatshirts? Change of clothing? 5. How come he was looking so fresh when he hit Abuja? Simples....he is probably used to exercising. Plus...he did eat along the way.(Sometimes...while exercising for long periods...I do get rarely hypoglycaemic...time for some rapid sugar!). I guess he lost a bit of weight along the way too... I believe it's possible but the time frame and some other things do not just add up! Hope my explaining helps! 1 Like |

Ese144: deadie: Why the doubt? From the post, it took him 18 days to travel 736.6 km. This means that he travels 736.6/18, or approximately 41 kilometers daily. A marathon is 42 km. I am not the most athletic guy in the world, but I ran it in 4 hrs. The Kenya guy who won the marathon that I ran did so under 2 hrs 10 mins. The female won under 2 hrs 30 mins. So, why do you guys have to doubt that a fit young man covered the same distance every 24 hrs? It is because you lazy bunch sit and home and chat on your BBM 24 hrs daily that you consider the task impossible. 3 Likes |

CharlesPhc: A car going to Abuja from lagos will travel on the average 85km/hr. It takes buses btw 7 and 8 hrs and a car will take a substantial less time for the travel say 6-7hrs. As such i wont accept itntakes a car 10hrs to get to abuja from Lagos. However, Lagos to Abuja is a lil above 660km/h for a man traveling at 3km/h which is the convenient walking speed but walking at average of 5/hr cos of jugging at some point will take about 132hrs. If he walks 8hrs/day he could make it in roughly 16days 12hrs. Buhari was declared winner on 31st of March and say he started on 1st April and he completed yesterday 21st April, it took him 21 days which is theoretically plausible. 1 Like |

CharlesPhc:Bros, it is very possible. There is dis programme: "CITIZENSHIP AND LEADERSHIP TRAINING", I attended one and we were made to trek a distance of 25km as part of our training (UNKNOWN JOURNEY), it took us 7 hrs to cover 25km (including resting and enquiries). There were some factors that dragged us back, there were about 9 ladies among us in my group and we still covered dat distance in 7 hrs trekking. Now calculate it based on our experience, 25km*4days= 100km, to cover 736km den u av about 29days. It is very very possible my brother, I'm talking from experience. |
