Can-Am Spyder Motorcycle Expedition: Moses Olubo Returns to Nigeria After Completing Three-Continents Adventure, Set for Lagos Meet and Greet
Former Nigerian squash No. 1 Moses Olubo is set to return to Nigeria after completing an extraordinary three-continent adventure aboard a Can-Am Spyder motorcycle, with a Meet and Greet scheduled for 2 p.m. on Wednesday at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
Olubo’s remarkable expedition took him from the United States through Canada, Iceland, Scandinavia and Western Europe before crossing the Sahara and navigating the challenging Fouta Jallon Highlands on his journey to Nigeria.
The former squash star has been described by his supporters as a “3-Continent Adventurer” in recognition of the scale and determination behind the motorcycle expedition.
His highly anticipated return is expected to attract friends, sports enthusiasts and members of the sporting community, who are preparing to give him a hero’s welcome in Lagos.
The Meet and Greet, scheduled for 2 p.m. on Wednesday, August 26, at the National Stadium, Surulere, will provide an opportunity for Nigerians and Olubo’s admirers to celebrate his remarkable journey and reconnect with the former national squash star.
Olubo’s exact arrival time, however, has been difficult to predict because of challenges encountered while travelling through Ghana. His motorcycle is reportedly not registered under the ECOWAS system, resulting in additional border and exit formalities.
As of Tuesday, Olubo was reportedly working to complete his exit from Ghana, with the final stretch of the journey to Lagos expected to be relatively straightforward once the necessary formalities are completed.
The adventure has generated considerable excitement among his friends and supporters, who have urged Nigerians, particularly members of the sporting community, to turn out at the National Stadium and make his return memorable.
The expedition has combined Olubo’s sporting background with endurance, exploration and a determination to undertake one of the most unusual journeys of his life across three continents.
Organisers also apologised for the short notice, explaining that the unpredictable nature of the journey made it difficult to confirm his exact arrival date and time in advance.
