Nigerian national , Kunle Adeyanju, who is on a mission to travel from London to Lagos by road through bike has now landed in Africa.

Adeyanju who left the shores of London about two weeks ago is in Naouadhibour, Mauritania as of Monday May 2nd.
In a post on Monday, May 2, the relentless rider said the ride would be his longest since he started out on the journey.
He said he took him 24 hours to navigate Laayoune to Naouadhibour, covering more than 1,000 kilometers.
Kunle revealed that he got to his present destination two days ahead of time.
He went ahead to say that before going to bed the previous night, he read a book that spoke about the limitations people place on themselves.
He revealed that reading the book made him change his set out plans and that helped him reach a certain destination two hours ahead of time.
He added that he left by 6am instead of the scheduled time of 9 am.
He said it took him almost two hours to cross the Mauritania border. He said he travelled through the Sahara desert all through.
Kunle revealed that when he stopped and wanted to make a video in the desert, solders who passed by him laughed and wondered if he is okay because of the uncanny nature of the Sahara.
