Nigeria Biker Sets World Record by gratiaeo(m): 8:49am On Nov 07, 2014
Enthusiastic Nigerian biker Ogbonnaya Kanu became the first man to ride from Nigeria to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of the African continent.

And it is not the first record achievement of Kanu, who last year rode to Europe and back in 36 days, The Newsrescue has reported.

Also referred to as Foto Dadi, in 2012, Kanu became the first Nigerian biker to ride solo from Lagos, Nigeria to Austria, going through France, Germany, Austria and Italy; and in mid-October he made another grand solo trip from South Africa to Lagos.

A chemical engineer by profession, Kanu is eager to get the most out of life. He is not afraid of the new, of breaking the limits and changing the attitude of the world towards Nigerians. But no matter what, he always comes back home.

The energetic biker is the co-founder of the Board of Trustees of the Easy Riders Motorcycle Club of Nigeria; co-founder of Ride Easy Motorcycle Training School; co-founder and member, Board of Trustees, Ride Easy Motorcycling Club of Lagos, and Superbike Clubs Association of Nigeria (SCAN). The guy is also the first and returning Vice-President of the Association of Nigerian Motorcycle Clubs.

There are 2 possible explanations for that;

1) He rode to algeria/morocco, unto a boat and kept on riding in d boat while d boat sailed to the other side of d Mediterranean sea (Europe)

2) He rode to algeria/morocco and did a Moses trick and crossed to the other side grin

wise man, you gat sense!

But you aren't really correct with the first explanation. The rational way goes thus, Ogbonna Kanu tied a plank to the back of his bicycle when he was leaving Nigeria. On getting to Ceuta, Spanish exclave in Morroco, he laid the plank to cross the strait to reach Gibraltar, rode his bicycle across and tied back his plank to the bicycle again.

In my dreams, yes. There should be some small strip of land there. Or some bridge, like the adjustable bridge in London.

On another note, how did the Palestinians create their underground tunnels into Egypt if there is no land there? Does their tunnel run under water as well?

May be the Rider used one of them tunnels.
