Here in Naija, we celebrate our President trekking a distance of just 800meters.
That's Naija in our own way.

You think an American president can ride a bicycle to work?

You think British prime minister can ride a bicycle to work?

You think German prime minister or president can ride a bicycle to work?

you think Putin can ride a bicycle to work?

Let's not put down our continent unnecessarily
if your brain is wired properly,you suppose to know that the former british prime minister tony blair was using public transport to work.and also with uruguay president,who uses a bettle car and lives in a two bedroom house.if you're modern minded you would've seen the croatian president turning a driver to its national football team .

thanks for the insults but unfortunately I'm not talented at dishing out insults especially when its unnecessary like in this situation

asides the insult there's barely anything else that shows you understood what you quoted as you simply cherrypicked your way through it. Theresa May doesn't use PT and even if she wanted to the killing of Jo Cox would dissuade her from that

The point I was driving at is that Presidents using tight security is not an African thing. it happens in developed countries too who boast of being secure and having low crime rate so the OP who made it about Africa was wrong. Let's not forget several american presidents that were also assassinated. If Buhari/Trump dares to live like the average poor citizen in terms of security they'd be dead in days

Riding bicycles make one healthy. If bicycle riding was encouraged here one will see less pot bellied 30 year old men and 26 year old women.

It's no big deal in Holland.

It's normal for everyone to own a bike. In fact, they have a bicycle path in all their roads.

As a tourist, there is likelihood of being hit by bike than car.

Nothing new here. I live in the Netherlands and it's very normal for high profile people and CEO's biking to work. When I studied, many of my professors biked to school even in winter. Biking is a culture here and not indicative of one's socio-economic status.

Now imagine going for a date like this. Beautiful cool
Yea, you're right...
Biking is normal there...
Netherlands
is built on stilts, cars are not really advisable for transportation in most areas coupled with the fact that they have lots of canals there.

If PMB should attempt this Nigerians will say that it is because election is near. ������
But this same people are applauding another person for doing the same.������

You don't know what you are saying. They are very rich!
Their percapita income is higher than that of the US and UK.
Population smaller than that of Lagos, yet 2nd largest exporter of agricultural products in the world!

I can appreciate it but it can't be possible here - we've already covered the usual lazy/corruption/kidnap, but let me ask you:

why should anybody ride their bike in the tropical hot sun or tropical rain abi? What's the temperature in Naija on any given day? Almost 33 with 90%+ humidity. That's punishment. In Netherlands (I just googled), their hottest temperature is a cool 22C in the summer. That's pleasant.

Which roads are you going to safely ride on? Is it the swimming pools and ponds, or the potholes, or the dangerous drivers, or the pavements choked with mama put, vulcanizers, yam roasters, and missing drain covers?

I am totally amazed, seeing how a Prime Minister goes to work... even if it is not achievable in this part of the world, it is definitely applaudable.
