Alma Asinobi , the first Nigerian to travel all seven continents with a Nigerian passport in less than 72 hour announced her feats on social media.
In her post on X on Tuesday, she wrote: “Our Nigerian flag is officially the first and fastest flag to visit all 7 continents! I guess my work here is done. I cannot wait to be homeeeee.”
The whole #AlmaChasingContinents movement was meant to start on March 15th but couldn’t because there were no available flight from Chile to Antarctica, eventually, the counter started 10:04pm WAT March twenty.
The 26-year-old travel content creator successfully crossed six continents with her final stop in Sydney, Australia where she revealed she faced a major hindrance to breaking the record
“Right now, my final mission is to fly our Nigerian flag on the 7th and final continent and bring it home. I cannot wait to be home, and I cannot wait to see you when we come out in solidarity to sign this flag”
Asinobi embarked on this journey–to challenge a title currently held by Johnny Cruz Buckingham, a U.S. Air Force veteran who completed the challenge in 64 hours–to highlight the countless visa rejections and challenges many Africans, especially Nigerians, face simply because of their nationality.
She wanted to highlight this struggle while pushing the limits of what was possible.
