Ekiti-born woman biker Omolewa Adesuyi, otherwise known as Mama Spade, has concluded plans to embark on what she described as a ‘five weeks daring Unity ride from Lagos city to Capetown, South Africa.
The passionate and adventure biker, who travelled in 2023 from Lagos to Ivory Coast, believes in pushing boundaries.
According to her, “Biking has given me freedom, strength and purpose. Today, I am embarking on one of the most rewarding journeys of my life. I travelled to Ivory Coast and back but for me, 5000km was not enough. That’s why I am embarking on an exciting 7000km journey and it is a ride for unity among African countries.”
She further appreciated her team at Detail & Avedia and her immediate family, saying: “especially Brian, without their love and support I won’t come this far.”
Also speaking on the trip, MamaSpade’s mother said, “From the moment she was born I knew she was destined for greatness. As a mother, it’s been an incredible journey watching her grow but I never imagined she would grow up to be a passionate biker. I thank the entire biking communities across Nigeria for supporting her.”
On her part, Toluwani Adeniyi, project manager for the epic ride, added that MamaSpade would be riding through Cameroon, Congo, Angola, Namibia and finally to Capetown South Africa just to foster unity among African nations and it is also to encourage the girl child that they can dare to dream in a world where women are relegated to the background.
“All she’s saying is as a woman, you can put your mind to whatever you want to do and achieve it,” Adeniyi said.
