Kunle Adeyanju Who Is Riding A Bike From London To Lagos Is Due To Arrive Today by naptu2: 11:34am On May 29, 2022
An adventurist, Kunle Adeyanju, who is on a motorcycle journey from London to Lagos, is due to arrive in Lagos today. Adeyanju, who undertook the journey in order to raise funds for the fight against polio, has been riding his motorcycle, a Honda CB 500X, from London since April 19th and he is due to arrive Lagos today.

The journey has been full of adventure and risks and he has documented it on his Twitter feed. Policemen, customs officials and thugs extorted ₦124,000 from him on the Mauritania-Senegal border. His outcry on Twitter attracted the attention of Mauritanian ministers who launched an investigation into the incident. He was initially denied entry into the Ivory Coast because the border between Ivory Coast and Senegal was closed due to Covid-19 restrictions, but the Nigerian Embassy in Ivory Coast helped him get around the problem. He had ridden into Burkina Faso in order to avoid Ivory Coast, but he came back into Ivory Coast after the Nigerian Embassy intervened. He also suffered a flat tyre in Mali, but kind villagers came to his rescue. However, one of the things that has attracted the most attention from his followers on Twitter is the various women that he has met along the way. One of them has promised to come to Lagos to await his arrival.

Mr Adeyanju and his motorcycle crossed from Spain in Europe, to Morocco in Africa via ferry.

Kunle Adeyanju is the president-elect of the Ikoyi Metro district of the Rotary Club and he has been hosted by rotary clubs all along his route. He has also been hosted by biker clubs and the Nigerian diplomatic missions all along his route. He spoke to Twitter staff in Ghana and also received a message from Twitter's CEO, Parag Agrawal.


Mr Adeyanju has previously climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and planted a Nigerian flag at its summit, he has sky dived and ridden a motorcycle from Ghana to Nigeria. He plans to auction his motorcycle, which he nicknamed Eagle, when he gets to Lagos and he will donate the proceeds to the fight against polio. There are also hints that a book and a Netflix series will be produced to document the journey.

Policemen, customs officials, thugs and other people constantly tried to extort money from him when he was in Mauritania. Many people that he met in the country were rude and aggressive. This was a sharp contrast from Morocco where he met very friendly people. He expressed his displeasure on Twitter and it trended in Mauritania. Ministers and other government officials tweeted to apologise and promised that they would investigate the situation.


Many other Twitter users confirmed that they had similar experience in Mauritania and some Nigerians cautioned Mr Adeyanju that he should not go through Mauritania on his return journey because some Mauritanians might be angry about his complaints.

He suffered a flat tyre in Mali and although he got it fixed, the problem resurfaced later on. The first flat occurred in a rural area, but the second occurred in an urban area and the local bikers club helped him to get it fixed. He also considered contacting Honda to get a new tyre.


Honda and other companies have supported his voyage after it trended on Twitter. Some hotels in Lagos have also offered to host him when he arrives the city.

Many Twitter users have become fascinated by some of the women that he met along the way and some Nigerian Twitter users have adopted Zenab as their in-law.

The Mali-Ivory Coast border has been closed since the Covid-19 lockdown. He therefore took a detour through Burkina Faso and considered avoiding Ivory Coast altogether, but the Nigerian Embassy got an exemption for him and he returned to the country. The Ivory Coast-Ghana border had been reopened and therefore he could easily go from there to Ghana.

Last picture: He was usually hosted by biker clubs in the countries that he visited.
