Pelumi Nubi, the adventurous traveler driving from London to Lagos, encountered a severe setback after being involved in a car accident in Liberia.

The incident occurred just 24 hours after her arrival in the country, marking a sudden pause to her ambitious journey.

Pelumi, who embarked on her road trip on January 31, 2024, has been documenting her travels on social media, sharing both the highs and lows of her solo expedition.

Her vehicle, affectionately named ‘Oluwa Lumi’ meaning ‘the lord lights my path’, became a symbol of her determination and spirit.

The accident’s details emerged through a post on Instagram with the caption “Say a prayer for me”, where Nubi shared images of the damaged car, scenes from inside the ambulance, and her time in the hospital.

Prior to the accident, Nubi faced numerous challenges, including a 24-hour hold at the Liberian border and being denied entry to Sierra Leone the previous week. These hurdles had already pushed back her planned return home from March 23 to April 7, 2024.

Pelumi Nubi is a Nigerian-born travel content creator based in the United Kingdom. She embarked on a remarkable solo journey, driving from London to Lagos, aiming to be the first Nigerian woman to complete such an expedition.

Pelumi, who moved to the UK at the age of 10, has visited over 80 countries and is passionate about showcasing the simplicity, safety, and achievability of travel. Her adventure from London to Lagos took her through numerous countries across Europe and Africa, documenting her experiences and inspiring others to pursue their travel dreams.
