A determined Nigerian man has publicly declared his readiness to trek from Port Harcourt to Lagos in just five days, daring his doubters to back their skepticism with a ₦50 million reward.
Determined to Prove His Critics Wrong
Promise Wosu Junior, a youth from Omudioga in Emohua local government, Rivers State, is on a mission to silence skeptics who questioned his solo marathon in 2023.
In 2023, Promise embarked on a trek from Lagos to Port Harcourt in a bid to set a Guinness World Record.
Though he completed the feat, errors in following the official guidelines prevented Guinness certification, leading many to doubt the legitimacy of his accomplishment
The ₦50 Million Public Challenge
To prove that his 2023 trek was genuine, Promise has issued an open challenge to a Facebook user, Brian Dennis, who doubted his previous attempt.
Promise stated that if he successfully completes the Port Harcourt to Lekki, Lagos trek between November 17 and 22, he expects a reward of ₦50 million.
In a bold declaration, he also pledged that failure would mean forfeiting the lifetime government job awarded to him, as well as any other gifts or endorsements received from brands and individuals.
Promise Wosu Junior said: “As a man of my word, I’m putting my money where my mouth is! I’m issuing an open challenge to Brian Dennis, groups, brands, or anyone who still doubts my feat. If you’re willing to put your money on the line, I’m ready to take on the challenge again—or you forever keep shut.”
He added: “I’ll walk from Port Harcourt to Lekki, Lagos in 5 days, just like I did two years ago. If I succeed, the doubter (Brian Dennis) pays me ₦50,000,000. If I fail, I’ll forfeit the lifetime job given to me by the Government and everything given to me by individuals and brands will be withdrawn.
“1. The challenge will take place on November 17th–22nd, 2025.
2. A verification team will be present to document the journey with 24/7 live camera surveillance.
3. The route will be predetermined and verified.
4. The bet will be held by Verydarkman as our escrow until the challenge is completed. Are you ready?”
