Pelumi Nubi, a Nigerian travel content creator, encountered a car accident while embarking on her solo road trip from London to Lagos.
During her journey from London to Lagos, Pelumi Nubi, a Nigerian woman, was involved in a car crash in Liberia.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Pelumi posted images of her damaged car and requested prayers from her followers. The accident occurred just 24 hours after her arrival in Liberia, marking a significant setback in her journey.
Pelumi’s original plan was to return to Lagos on March 23, 2024, but due to various challenges encountered during her journey, she rescheduled her return to April 7, 2024.
Nubi arrived in Liberia on March 24 from Sierra Leone, marking the 11th country on her journey.
However, she faced a setback when the Liberian immigration service refused entry to her right-hand vehicle, named ‘Lumi,’ forcing her to spend two nights at the Liberian border.
Despite eventual entry into Liberia, Pelumi’s experience was marred by a serious car accident.
Her travel ordeal sheds light on the challenges African migrants encounter while moving within the continent, as highlighted by the African Union’s recent release of the second edition of the African migration report, which underscores that migration primarily occurs within Africa rather than outside the continent.
