MEET PROFESSOR AMINU MOHAMMED DORAYI, ABU
ZARIA PROCESSOR WHO DROVE A CAR FROM LONDON
TO KANO WITHIN 24 DAYS...

Professor Aminu Mohammed Dorayi is a renowned
educationist and adventurer that drove from London
to Kano with his car.
The elder statesman is a Record-breaker, who broke a
world record by driving his Peugeot 504 over a
distance of about 4,000miles, in 24 days.
Prof Dorayi is a distinguished Abusite (Ahmadu Bello
University) and respected professor of Chemistry. He
doubled as a former president of the ABU Students
Union Government (SUG) for 1966/1967. Dorayi set up
the Sharada Industrial Estate in Kano. He is also the
first to organize trade fair in Nigeria.
He is called The Adventurous Chemist because of his
passion for adventure. While in the UK, his journey was
inspired by several adventure books he had read. For
instance, he read about the Marcopolos, the Mungo
Parks, these adventurous stories fascinated him.
Dorayi, therefore proceded to make a record-breaking
trip by driving his Peugeot 504 over a distance of
about 4,000miles in 24 days.
According to the elder statesman, “England is an
Island. So when you reach Southampton you have to
take a boat, you and your car, to Calais, France. I
drove through Paris and so on through Madrid,
Gibraltar. So when you reach Gibraltar, you reach the
Mediterranean Sea, where you also take a ferry to
Algeria.
”From there you enter the road all through, though
there is no road, in the desert, you’re guided by your
compass, your map.”
Speaking further on the trip, Prof disclosed that ”I
became very keen during my PhD in the US. I had a
Volkswagen which I bought for about 600 dollars at
that time. I used it to drive across the desert over
there.” He added that he is highly adventurous, that
is why even his autobiography is titled, The
Adventurous Chemist.
Dorayi disclosed that as he bought the Peugeot 504
for 1000 pounds and hit the road immediately.
He said, ”I was assisted by the British Automobile
Association (AA). They gave me the guidelines, the map,
the route. They told me what to do in crossing the
desert, and what not to do. So, I was quite prepared.
Speaking of his preparedness, Doriya said, ”Since I
went to secondary technical school, I was technically
inclined and I could service my car. I came from a
technical background. Going back to Zango in Kano and
hanging out with friends, they taught me confidence.
So this thing has been in me for years. I enjoyed
reading about trans-Sahara.
In his encounter, Doriya noted that ”There was a
place I passed in Algeria, and the day I arrived, it was
raining heavily. Little children of 13 years and below
were running helter-skelter and crying. When I asked
the elders why they said those children had never seen
rain before. No rain for 14 years, so they thought
heaven was falling. They had to be counselled by their
elders.”

There is land border from Bugaria (Europe) to Turkey (Middle East) and from Israel (Middle East) to Egypt (Africa). There is another land border from Georgia (Europe) to Turkey (Middle East).

The only problem is that it is difficult crossing borders due to insecurities.

DamZik:
There is land border from Buhari to turkey and from Israel to Egypt.

Buhari to Turkey, How bros?

EXLOVER:

It is possible from Africa to Europe but not possible from Africa to North America because of the oceans.

England, here I come

It's unbelievable and can be a stressful trip...

Not sure it's a good idea if you will be passing through some unsecured border

thebosstrevor1:
How did he cross the Atlantic ocean with his car?

The distance from Africa to Spain is about 60km, if he reach the sea he will enter ferry with his car. He will drop at the other side and continue his journey.

See Africa and spain in the same picture
