Ogbonnaya Kanu, also known as Foto Dadi is one man set on breaking
limits. In 2012, he became the first Nigerian biker to ride solo from
Lagos, Nigeria to Austria, riding through France, Germany, Austria, and
Italy; and in mid-October, he embarked on another solo trip from South
Africa to Lagos.
With this trip, Kanu has again broken more
limits by becoming the first Nigerian member of the Iron Butt
Association, also known as the World’s Toughest Motorcycle Riders, after
riding for 1600+ kilometres in 24 hours on a bike.
Kanu, who is a chemical engineer, has ridden motorcycles in 26 countries of the world, 23 of which were with his own Nigerian-registered motorcycle.
It’s not just about living a life of adventure and breaking limits, but also changing the way Nigerians are perceived.
Kanu
is the co-founder, and member of the Board of Trustees of the Easy
Riders Motorcycle Club of Nigeria - the first registered motorcycle club
in Nigeria. 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.
