Speaking on the route he took during his transcontinental challenge to raise funds for Rotary International’s fight against polio, the biker said he “started from London to France and to Spain, then I crossed into Morocco and visited Casablanca.

“I also passed through Mauritania, St. Louis, Dakar, Mali, Bamako, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Accra, Lome, Benin before getting to Lagos.”

On his motivation, he said :

“For me, it’s all about giving back. It’s all about using my skills and lifestyle to touch the lives of the underprivileged. I look at it that every one of us has been blessed.

“Some people may say theirs are not enough but we have all been blessed. So those things you’ve been given, how can you use them to touch the lives of other people?”
