A now-famous cyclist, Emmanuel Myam, better known as Emmiwuks, has finally arrived in Lagos to meet with Afrobeats superstar, Davido, after 15 days journey from Benue.
KanyiDaily recalls that Emmiwuks gained widespread attention on August 3 when he embarked on a bicycle ride from Benue to Lagos with the sole purpose of meeting Davido.
In the photos shared on his Twitter page, Emmiwuks was seen holding a banner featuring the emblem of the DMW boss, and his bicycle was adorned with a message that boldly stated, ‘Benue to Lagos on a bicycle for Davido.’
When the cyclist revealed that he had already spent eight days on the road in his quest to meet Davido in Lagos, the singer advised him to turn around and go home because he was not available in the country at the moment.
Despite the heartfelt plea from Davido, Emmiwuks remained resolute and unyielding in his commitment to his adventure, insisting that he’s not going back to Benue until he wants to present his gift to the singer in Lagos.
In his response, Davido asked Emmiwuks to provide his bank account details and head back home, stressing that he would meet him upon his return to Nigeria.
Reacting to the development, the cyclist expressed gratitude for Davido’s offer to send a monetary blessing, but he prefer to wait for Davido’s return to personally hand over the gift he brought from Benue.
Emmanuel Myam explained that meeting Davido and delivering his gift all the way from Benue will be the happiest moment in his life.
On Friday, August 18, Emmi Wuks finally reached his destination in Lagos, where he was greeted with an enthusiastic and joyous reception by the Tiv community residing in the state.
Olikita Ekani, who previously served as a media aide to the former Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, shared this uplifting news through his Facebook page on Friday evening.
He wrote, “Emmi Wuks, fast-rising celebrity, bicycle rider, and ardent supporter of Nigerian music superstar Davido has finally arrived in Lagos.
“He was welcomed by Mdzough U Tiv Lagos State members and Benue Chubby Queen Miss Kpadoo Upev. Congratulations and best wishes to him!”
