A Nigerian travel creator, Alma Asinobi, has announced plans to visit all seven continents in an attempt to set a world record.
She revealed that the journey, which will begin on 15 March 2025, will start in Australia and conclude in Nigeria.
Alma Asinobi explained that she is embarking on the challenge with her Nigerian passport to highlight the issues surrounding passport privilege for Africans.
Speaking in a viral video on her Instagram page, she stated the reason behind her bold move: “I’m doing this with a Nigerian passport to shed more light on the issue of passport privilege. When I fully recover from having to apply for more than 10 visas for this trip—and being rejected for two of them a total of five times—I will go in-depth about why we simply cannot afford to accept and remain silent about the second-class treatment we are subjected to when it comes to travel and visa requirements for citizens with low-mobility passports.
“I’m pushing the limits of one of the lowest-ranking passports in the world on this adventure to show what is possible and inspire you to see the world despite the limitations, while also shining a spotlight on a much-overlooked issue that affects over half of the world’s population, with Africans—both at home and in the diaspora—being among the most impacted.”
The current Guinness World Record for the fastest time to visit all continents is held by two Indian travellers, Ali Irani and Sujoy Kumar Mitra.
They completed the journey in three days, one hour, five minutes, and four seconds, setting the world record.
