Ogbonnaya Kanu, the man who seem to break the mould of impossibility across the distance
This may sound more like a fairy tale, as to some it may seem as impossible, but I want you to know that it is a true talk, and it happened in reality, that this handsome Nigerian dude 'Ogbonnaya Kanu' a.k.a Foto Dadi is quite a man that seem not to see limits or barrier in his path of achieving his set goals, especially on this path of adventurous movement.
Ogbonnaya Kanu is in 2012 the first Nigerian to ride a Motor-bike from Lagos to Austria, passing through France, Germany, and Italy; and just recently, mid-October to be precise, he made another history, as he rode a motor-bike from South Africa to Lagos on a solo-trip.
With this record, Ogbonnaya Kanu now becomes the first Nigerian to break the limits on this adventure of riding through a long distance, and it has inclined him into being adopted as a member into the Iron Butt Association, that is also known as the World’s Toughest Motorcycle Riders for having rode 1600+ kilometres in just 24-hours on a motorcycle.
He is a graduate of chemical engineering and he has so far rode across 26-countries around the world of which 23-countries were ran with his Nigerian-registered motor-bike.

He is also the co-founder of Ride Easy Motorcycle Training School; co-founder and member Board of Trustees, Ride Easy Motorcycling Club of Lagos, and Superbike Clubs Association of Nigeria (SCAN).
He is the first and returning Vice President of the Association of Nigerian Motorcycle Clubs.
When he is not pursuing adventure, he pursues perfection of his riding skills. He has attended a variety of courses in Europe, including Levels 1 & 2 GS BMW Off Road Skills, Levels 1& 2 training at the California Superbike School, UK.
