It was once Ajala travelled all over the world with a scooter, now Adeyanju travelled Europe to Africa with a power bike.

[@FERESE]

"Moshood Adisa Olabisi Ajala, also known as Ọlábísí Àjàlá, was a Nigerian journalist, travel writer, actor, and later Lagos socialite. He is famous for being a globe-trotter. On April 27, 1957, Àjàlá began a trip "around the world" from London. These would form the basis for his 1963 biography called "An African Abroad", with an introduction by Tom Mboya. He planned to visit forty countries. To write the book, Àjàlá had visited India, Soviet Union, Iran, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt, and finally, Australia. He travelled round all of them on his Vespa scooter, which had famous autographs of the famous people he had met". Copied from Wikipedia

You need money to do all these things

[@tonyandrew3914]

Most of the bills were paid by NGO,if he was carrying money about,it would have been a very big rusk,he said he worked with Rotary club and UN,this are worldwide bodies, all he needed was to partner with them, He carried a message for the world and that us very important, he was not paid but they definitely paid his bills,it only take a passionate selfless Man to do this,the message is to End Polio.

Funny enough how we stumbled on this video. My 10 year old son was talking about how far New Zealand is from London and could take months to cycle there. Then I told him of a Nigerian man who cycled from London to Nigeria but not harmed with the details. So we decided to just watch to see how long he did it but alas we left blown away. His story is so inspiring and captivating that we stayed glued to the end. Every statement he said was a life lesson and gem. We learnt a lot about resilience, forward planning, courage, commitment, consistency. What a life, this man is living and not just existing. Continue to be an inspiration to the world, Sir. Kindly consider making a book out of this, the world needs this. Big love to you sir and weldone to Tayo for such a beautiful interview. Such a good host you are. Born and bred in Ilorin as well.

[@globallibran378]

Tayo, this brother is beyond inspiring. What he said about Burkina- Faso is said of many regions around the world where certain world bodies label an area to be dangerous. And for some who may say the warning is for Europeans, then you simply have to watch multiple white youtubets traversing all parts of Africa with minimal issues. His statements and life lessons are timeless gems. On my first visit to the continent many of my friends in the west ( USA) were constantly asking, " Are you not afraid??" , the question was constant because the severance of knowledge about that land the west has deemed as the ' Dark Continent' is why I could understand their fears. My trip there was awesome and completely transformed my views on all things African and I now realise the wrong story tellers could and will block you from exploring lands of my ancestors. So much wisdom and depth was shared in this piece Tayo it would take weeks to dissect and comment on the masterclass of this awesome Nigerian gentleman whose fears were also washed away in the face of the bountiful LOVE of his African brothers and sisters who had his back on the London to Lagos mission...OMG!! Please Tayo run this brothers story or this vlog over to your best Nollywood movie house or get on the phone with Tyler Perry or Spike Lee asap!!
