Nigeria man to ride bike from London to Lagos for charity
A Nigerian man is riding a motorbike from London to Lagos to raise funds for charity.
Kunle Adeyanju tweeted that the 12,000km (7,500 mile) ride was expected to last for 25 days, taking him through France, Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Mali, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo and Benin, before he crosses into Nigeria.
Mr Adeyanju said the money he raises would be spent on health, water and sanitation projects. He would give a 10% “match grant for every donation”.
Tweeter Christopher D wished Mr Adeyanju a safe ride, saying he had skipped an opportunity to ride from London to Cape Town two years ago because he was scared.
“My colleagues who went have memories to last them a lifetime
and it went well and safely without any major issues. So ride on sir .. I’ll follow your progress,” Christopher D said.

Meanwhile, South Sudan opposition unhappy over army positions.
South Sudan’s main opposition political party says it is dissatisfied with recent appointments to a unified armed forces command structure.
The Sudan People’s Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM-IO) says there were a number of “serious violations” in naming the commanders of various army, police and security services units.
The appointments were announced by President Salva Kiir last week.
The SPLM-IO says President Kiir omitted three directorates in the National Police Service that were meant for the opposition
It says the president also created new positions that were not agreed by the parties, and appointed his allies to these positions.“This attempt by the president is meant to separate the opposition… and that will make it harder for us to implement the reforms needed, especially in the finance sector within all the organised forces,” Puok Both Baluang, a SPLM-IO official said in a press release.
He urged President Kiir to abide by the agreement on the unified command.
The office of the president has not responded to the matter.
