Pelumi Nubi commenced her solo trip on January 31, facing challenges, including a car accident that caused significant damage.

In an Instagram post in March, she shared the aftermath of the accident, accompanied by a plea for prayers as she was transported in an ambulance.

Her safe arrival in Nigeria was a relief to her father, who described it as the “end of anxiety,” citing the emotional toll the journey took on their family.

He said, “I kept on telling people that what looks to you people as content creation is a nightmare for us. Every night we couldn’t sleep, so it’s been two months of fun for the whole world but not for us.

On how she felt when her daughter informed her about the trip, Pelumi’s mother said that she approved of it because she had visited over 80 countries before and it was her choice to embark on the trip.
