Pelumi went on a lovely feat; a feat even men will dread. Got into an accident but came out strong. A queen.
Let me take you on a brief trip.
Late Pa Smartie Otusanya from Ogun State died 2005 at 91/92 years of age. But that’s not the story.
Young Olatunji nicknamed Smart obviously for his traits worked for a white man. Oyinbo as they are called in Nigeria had to take permission from his parents for him to work and travel with them. He was that good.
Back then; stories and damage from slave trade was just abating so the skepticism from the parents is understandable.
They went on a 80 days trip from Nigeria to London by road 1935. Pardon mix up of date on previous post.
In 1964 he was invited to Buckingham palace at the invitation of Her majesty via Lord chamberlain.
@DunlopLive before leaving Nigerian Shores recognized him 1999.

After this rogbodiyan I’ll post the story with pictures of the man who drove to U.K in 1960s on @DunlopLive tyres with his white bosses and was even recognized by Dunlop and invited to Buckingham palace for dinner
