@OP: Seriously i believe you can do this:
Let your imagination be your driven force, imagine yourself being a model of red bull and other brand on DSTv, wall papers, newpapers, flyers et al. You could even become an ambassador, if possible organise or call pple who are willing to join, tag a name on it such as "A walk against corruption" create awareness. Everyone can't be CR7 or messi but in everyone lies uniqueness...
I just sent a request, i would like to discuss with you about this cos i see you succeeding... I would av drop my mobile #.
I wouldn't mind joining you in this quest.

That is the road to Igbo land. Going to Benin from Osun is taken ten percent off his Journey course.
Get an Insurance company to sponsor you too.

You are a rear gem, the type Africa hardly produce.

This is my advice!

If you feel like it, the go for it.

Hints:
1. see a doctor for fitness test.
2. Do an estimate of total kilometers to be covered.
3, estimate how long it might take. 2 months, 3 months, etc
4. You will treck day and rest night. Do your cost for food and accodation.
5. Get your sponsors to alert the media.
6. Let them involve all state goverment tourism ministries of the states you will pass through.
7. Security might be necessary in some places. It can be police or local
8. Get one of the networks eg MTN to show how well they cover Nigeria by providing free internet access.
9. You blog mornings, afternoons and evenings
10. You will pay courtesy calls on village heads and secondary schools. You can even have a 10 mins talk to them on "achieving your dreams"
11. Start training your body to adjust.

These are the few things i can think of for now.

Send me a mail: i will like to be part of your great story. I am already excited.

Maiduguri to Lagos is Lagos to Ghana times four.
Maiduguri is about 1650 to Lagos the money there amounts to N2000 for a Kilometre. The publicity and the add ons are the real catch.

On a serious note those of you encouraging this guy should know that if (God forbid) he dies in the process of embarking on this journey, you all contributed to the untimely death of a Nigerian citizen . It's a good idea but trust me Nigeria isn't a place to have such dreams. He doesn't even have to get to the part of robbers robbing him on the high way the numerous rabies infected BINGOS are enough to send him back home.
Guy, sitdon for ya house jeje.

@Op,

Take some time out to do some training by doing some regular short/long distant walk for about a month then see a doctor for a health check before taking the main task, you can do it if you are fit.

Hey, i think you're about breaking some records but i have some advice for you.
1. Choose another city (your safety should be the first)
2. Get enough physical training (don't think you've gotten everything it takes)
3. Publicize it, let the whole world knows (you won't just be rich but 'll be inclusively popular, coz' that's a great concept many haven't thought of "Guinness Book of Records shouldn't be that hard to contact" )
4. Try seeking for more sponsors so as to draw more attention.
5. Research about people who have done stuffs related to that and work on their progress.
NB: When you have a lot of attention, you won't only be popular but you can strike a deal with Redbull (as a model), or other related companies.
Even this big Telecommunication companies can contact you.
You're on the verge of being the best, don't be discouraged. Nothing comes easy.....

MOST COMMENTS HERE HAVE SHOWN THE WAY AN AVERAGE NIGERIAN THINKS, WE WANT TO MAKE IT BUT DON'T WANT TO SUFFER, WHAT PLEASURE COMES WITHOUT PAIN?
WHY WON'T WE BE ONE OF THE WORST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHEN A HANDFUL OF THE WHOLE POPULATION THINKS LIKE THIS.....


HEY GUYS, GO BACK AND WATCH GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS, NONE OF THOSE RECORDS CAME EASY.... ARE THEY ALL POOR
THIS COUNTRY CAN NEVER BE GOOD IF WE CONTINUE THINKING LIKE THIS, DO YOU THINK THOSE GREAT COUNTRIES GOT POWERS THROUGH LOTTO!!!!!


HEY GUYS!!! IT'S NOT THAT HE MUST FINISH THE JOURNEY IN A DAY!!! HE CAN REST ON THE WAY!!!
WHY IS EVERYONE THINKING LIKE THIS

THANKS MAN,I COULDN'T JUST UNDERSTAND MANY POST HERE AS IT'S POO NEGATIVE CONTRIBUTIONS. PLEASE IS LAGOS-MAIDUGURI FAR THAN NIGERIA---GHANA OR BF? WHILE PPLE TREKING THIS,WHY NOT LAGOS--MADUIGURI. INSTEAD OF YOU GUYZ TO ADVISE HIM POSITEVELY MANY ARE DISCOURAGING HIM,PLEASE TELL ME WHAT CONCERNS PENURY IN THIS? WHAT I CAN ONLY SAY IS THAT HE SHOULD CHANGE MADUIGURI TO ANOTHER CITY WITH SAFETY ASSURANCE.

@OP,ONCE AGAIN,PLEASE IF YOU DONT MIND I CAN ACCOMPANY WITH YOU,..

andre99: See what our Govt has caused, people are going mad every day, may the Lord heal @alienware. AMEN!

What has our Govt. done this tym around? Did Govt. ask ogogoro drinking people to be mad? Let him join Lake Chad for the trek.

Johnchike:
are you sure you've seen a map before?
look at the map its very well. That will be going back to an area on the same stretch with Lagos.
His best bet. Lagos, Oyo Osun NassarawanToto to Keffi, Panda, Jos, Bauch, Yobe and Maiduguri.
Took that route ten times in Ninties.
Alternatively Osun, Kogi; abuja; Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi through Azara, Potiskum, Damaturu and Maiduguri.
Its not a funny distance with Security challanges of today.

@ OP
If you're doing this for a good cause, it 's super... But as soon as you get enough media attention, be ready to be kidn.ap.ped. In essence, $20K is small. Get ran.som money also from your sponsors for the Lag-Maid route...Except if you change route then safety could be guaranteed. Wish you the best...

guy do not let anyone discourage you, prepare well, know the route you will take, how far you can go everyday before you reach a point to lodge. plan well and go for it or someone else will do it, already there are people plotting how they can take your place and get the $20,000.
Re: Planning Of Trekking From Lagos To Maiduguri. Pls Advice Me by joinnow: 8:38pm On Sep 25, 2012
Yes as your name suggest Alien ware
You can do it But be aware of the below findings
1.Distance from Lagos to Maidugri is approximately 1565 KM
2. Healthy train Man ( german Trekker) will trek 32km a day.
Doing the small maths 1565 divided by 32 = 49 days

Wear very light slippers/ canvass also remember you will definitely have blisters after the first day.
backpack,touch light, lighter,tenth,etc

According to NIKE
U CAN DO IT cry cry cry
