How I Escaped Lions, Hyenas’ Attack – Nigerian Who Rode Bike From London To Lagos Narrates Experience

-



Kunle Adeyanju, a London-based Nigerian adventurer who traveled on his power bike from London-Lagos, spoke to THE WHISTLER on the telephone. He planned the journey, which he tagged as “Adventure” for one year. But he obviously did not reckon he would also encounter wild animals in his path.


He shared his experience in an interview with our correspondent. Excerpts:


You mentioned the adventure was inspired by your desire to create awareness for polio, please tell us more about this?

The driving objective for that was borne out of my desire to use my lifestyle, my gift and talent, the way I live to touch the lives of the underprivileged and humanity in general; to solve some of those little problems in the world. I chose polio because Polio is a personal fight. I have a friend that lives with polio, he passed on two years ago and I knew how difficult it was for my friend. When we go out playing like young boys, running, playing football, swimming jumping and all that, he couldn’t, not because he didn’t want to but because he was limited by his condition.


 I knew the pain and how difficult it was for him and his family, therefore, said to myself that if I have the means to ensure this continues, I would ensure that no other child ever goes through it.
