Let us assume he walked at approx 6km/hr in the basking sun without taking a break, he would cover just over 70km in 12 hrs. Lagos to ibadan is not less than 130km

okotv:
my first comments on this guy. First of, nothing is impossible. If you trek regularly, this can be achieved. The major reason people are doubting this adventure is because of the national fame. He said he would and he did, that settles it for him.


Inspiration: Always be a person of your words. He was and now he has national fame.

Dannyset:
Robbers on that route are killers, so guy u must help identify the guy for arrest. Next time take a snap with him since ur already a star.

Suleiman Hashimu, will no doubt enter the Guiness Book of Record as the first man to trek from Lagos to Abuja.

‘The Traveller,’ as he is now been called, had vowed to walk from Lagos to Abuja if Muhammadu Buhari won the 2015 presidential election.

Hashimu arrived Abuja yesterday evening after trekking for over three weeks.


Hashimu, a native of Katsina State, said he was in Lagos when Buhari was announced the president-elect of Nigeria, so he left Lagos at about 5am the next day and arrived in Ibadan around 6pm.

Narrating his ordeal to newsmen upon his arrival in Abuja, Hashimu said he had gone to get a police report at Ibadan to allow for an unimpeded journey, but that as he could not wait for the processes to be completed, the divisional police officer (DPO) gave him his phone number.

The journey man said when he first embarked on the journey, many persons discouraged him, especially family members but he never gave up.

He told journalists that in Ilorin, people accompanied him for several miles until he stopped at Oloru, where he received much hospitality in Jebba. He said unlike other villages, he met people who had heard of him.


He further explained that about 20 people set off with him from Jebba and after some miles, 18 turned back, but the other two were more strong-minded and followed him.

The Traveller narrated how they encountered armed robbers close to Mokwa, but that, fortunately, he had already met one of them in Jebba and the would-be robber ended up giving him N200 for ‘pure’ (sachet) water.

Hashimu said he continued his trip from Mokwa to Kudu, then from Kutigi to Bida, and then to Suleja, after which arrived in Abuja yesterday.

Upon his arrival in Abuja on Monday, many residents were already waiting to receive him.

When residents of FCT saw him, the chorus of Sai Buhari rented the air.

Unconfirmed report said a top politician had already paid for a room in Transcorp Hilton where he would lodge.

Let us put it in perspective: I live in Aguda, Surulere; my office is off Adeniran Ogunsanya street, Surulere. Distance between this 2 points (as the crow flies) is about 2.4Km. I have repeatedly made that walk to the office in less than 30mins.Most times leisurely. My point? 160km can be done in less than 13hrs. I have also walked from Iponrin (Ebutte-Meta) to Ajose Adeogun (V.I) an 11-12km stretch (again as the crow flies) in less than 3hours. I still trek long distances. His story is very believable,very achievable within the 20 days.

jcmaiah:
I hate people who talk like you . People who always feel sad over others achievements. Please deal with it! The guy trekked it whether u believe it or not!
