Davido has responded to a man who says he is riding a bike from Benue State all the way to Lagos to meet him, by tweeting that he won’t be at home.

“Turn around I’m not home,” wrote the Afrobeats superstar, who ironically has a hit song called “Unavailable”.

The mega-fan, who identifies himself on Twitter as Emmiwuks, says he will not turn around and must present his gift to Davido, to congratulate the “living legend” on his latest “masterpiece” album Timeless.

The journey from Benue to Lagos is 800km (500 miles) and takes more than 13 hours by car, but six days on foot, according to Google Maps.

Currently, Emmiwuks is on day nine of his journey, according to his account on X, previously known as Twitter, where he has documented his journey and photographed himself in a couple of different states.

He has been taking breaks to rest, he says.

Whilst on his journey he has been pictured with a large poster of Davido attached to his bike.

He has also had to undergo a bike repair, he says.
