Emmiwuks kicked off his cross-continental quest on July 1, cycling through Benin Republic, Togo, and Ghana in just 10 days.
Emmanuel Myam, the 25-year-old Nigerian adventurer famously known as Emmiwuks, has arrived in Ghana as part of his bold solo bicycle expedition from Lagos to the United States.
Emmiwuks kicked off his cross-continental quest on July 1, cycling through Benin Republic, Togo, and Ghana in just 10 days.
The Benue state native, who gained fame in 2022 for cycling from Makurdi to Lagos to meet music star Davido, earlier revealed that his inspiration stems from personal struggles and a near-death experience in 2023.
He added that he aims to raise awareness and support for orphaned and displaced children affected by conflict across Africa.
On Wednesday, Emmiwuks took to Instagram to share his progress with photos from Ghana, while celebrating the milestone with his followers.
“Day 10Project NIG2USA. Welcome to Ghana. The land of warmth, rhythm, and strength,” he wrote.
“A new country, a new chapter, same mission, raising a voice for the displaced and the forgotten across Africa.
“Ghana, let’s ride this journey together. From Nigeria to the world, the movement is alive. Naija no dey carry last.”
Earlier in Benin Republic, Emmiwuks visited an orphanage, using donations from supporters to assist the children, an experience he said deeply moved him.
“Today, I visited an orphanage here in Benin with my little support and it touched me deeply,” he wrote.“Seeing those children reminded me of the displaced people in my dear country and across Africa, suffering in silence because of insecurity.
“This journey isn’t just about cycling, it’s about giving them a voice. Every ride, every mile, is for them. But I can’t do it alone.
“Lend your voice. Share the story. Let’s ride this together. Stay strong kids I will be back for you soon.”
