Nigerian travel content creator and adventurer Pelumi Nubi’s ambitious solo road trip from London to Lagos has hit a hurdle just days before its expected conclusion. Nubi embarked on the journey in January 2024, aiming to cross 17 countries and inspire a new generation of travellers.
On March 25th, Nubi posted a video on her Instagram page revealing she had been involved in an accident. The video showed significant damage to her small car, which had been her companion throughout the journey. Though details are limited, the footage suggests medical personnel attended to her in an ambulance.
The accident, which destroyed the car’s bumper and windscreen, will undoubtedly delay Nubi’s arrival in Lagos, originally planned for March. Thankfully, Nubi emerged from the incident without serious injuries.
Nubi undertook this epic journey to demonstrate the feasibility of travelling by road from Lagos to London and “inspire the next generation of travellers to step outside their comfort zone,” she said in a local media interview. The seasoned traveller, with over 80 countries previously visited, meticulously planned the trip, researching safe routes, visa requirements, and travel costs.
Her last video update prior to the accident was from Liberia. However, the location tag on the accident video indicated she was in Ivory Coast, suggesting she had backtracked after border issues.
Nubi’s Journey Thus Far
Despite the accident, Pelumi Nubi’s spirit remains unbroken. The world will be watching to see if she can overcome this latest obstacle and complete her groundbreaking journey to Lagos.
