Nigerian Man Omo Alokwe To Break Guinness World Record For The Longest Motorcyle Ride In A Single Country
Mr Alokwe, a London-based Business Analyst who rides bike for fun is getting ready to break the world record in Nigeria.
By November, Alokwe will embark on a journey from the end of England to Lagos in a bid to raise 20,000 pounds for an humanitarian aid organisation, Medicine Sans Frontiers (MSF).
He will start from the Land’s End of England and ride to Dover where he will travel on the Eurotunnel to France and then onto Morroco and through Senegal, Mali and Togo before reaching Nigeria.
On getting to Nigeria, he will spend 16 weeks biking across the country, covering 30,000 miles to break the world record for the longest motorcycle ride in a single country
To help with his fundraising efforts, Mr Alokwe is running a charity golf day at Surrey National Golf Club on August 22.
His upcoming journey will take him through 12 countries (England, England, France, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin and Nigeria).
In total he will cover 40,000 miles before returning to England.
A German man, Manfred Garnert who attempted what Alokwe is trying to do almost died after jungle robbers attacked him in the Sahara desert. Garnert who said he spent 12 days of hell riding bike from Germany to Nigeria promises never to attempt such again.
