Solo London to Lagos driver, Pelumi Nubi, receives heroic welcome in Nigeria

Pelumi Nubi, the intrepid content creator who embarked on a solo road trip from London to Lagos, has finally arrived in Nigeria to a grand reception.

Pelumi was greeted at the Nigeria-Benin Republic border by representatives of the Lagos State Government, including the Honorable Commissioner of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka, and the Special Adviser on Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Idris Aregbe.

Her journey’s second leg took her to Badagry before heading to Unilag for a celebratory homecoming.

Expressing her joy to Channels Television, she exclaimed, “I feel so good to be home. Honestly, the homecoming has been so amazing and really welcoming.”

She continued, “Honestly, Nigeria is definitely home to me, so it’s more than amazing. I expected the homecoming, but this has been incredible, so thank you so much, I am really grateful, and I can’t wait for the celebration that is waiting for me at Unilag.”

Nubi, who embarked on her adventure on January 31, faced adversity when she was involved in an accident along the way.

In a March Instagram post, she shared images of her damaged car, showcasing a severely damaged front bumper and a shattered windscreen. Accompanying footage depicted her being transported in an ambulance, with the caption: “Say a prayer for me.”
