I wanted to promote Nigeria
When asked why he embarked on the journey, the man said he wanted to promote Nigeria and show that despite everything happening, it is a good place for those in the diaspora to return to. It was also an opportunity to tick it off his bucket list.
The adventurous driver said that it took him over two months to complete the journey because he was somewhat distracted and could not quite break away from families that showed him kindness.
