\n
\n The Nigerian travel content creator, Alma Asinobi, who recently accomplished her groundbreaking trip spanning all seven continents using only her Nigerian passport, has marked this achievement by recognizing the Nigerian flag as both the initial and quickest one to visit each continent globally.

<\/p>\n

\n
\n Following 71 hours, 26 minutes, and 25 seconds of continuous journeying, Asinovi arrived in Sydney on a Sunday after traversing the Nigerian flag from Antarctica through South America, North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and finally reaching Australia.
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n In an Instagram post on Tuesday following her accomplishment, she shared, “The Nigerian flag has officially become the first and quickest one to reach all seven continents! Seems like my job here is finished. I am really looking forward to returning home.”
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n
\n Her trip wasn’t without hurdles as Asinobi encountered problems with visas, delayed flights, and various travel limitations because of her Nigerian passport.
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n
\n Asinobo mentioned that she was not allowed to board her flight to Perth, Australia, which led her to reschedule for a later departure to Sydney. This misfortune resulted in her delayed arrival.
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n
\n Acknowledging the rest she required following the extensive tour, she mentioned that even during her sleep, the impact of her travels persisted. She explained that she would often wake up in distress after having dreams about a last call for departure.

<\/p>\n

\n
\n Wow… Continent 8 (Dreamland) really worked out well for me. No visas required, no flights necessary, just a comfortable bed. Honestly, any bed would’ve done the trick. All I wanted was for my puffed-up feet to stay still for a few hours, and mission accomplished.
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n
\n “As I slept, I heard ‘this is the final boarding call…’ and jolted out of bed in surprise, realizing it was just a dream. This isn\u2019t usual,” she penned.
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n
\n According to PUNCH Online, although Asinobi did not surpass the current Guinness World Record of 64 hours held by American veteran Johnny Cruz Buckingham, her achievement still holds significant historical importance. Her accomplishment has ignited extensive conversations regarding passport inequality and the obstacles hindering worldwide movement for Nigerians.
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n She eagerly anticipates her homecoming celebration on March 30, with plans to set another record by having Nigerians gather signatures on the flag she transported around the globe.
