- Indeed, fate has taken a remarkable turn for Emmiwuks. Originally, he set out on a journey from Benue to Lagos with the goal of meeting Davido, but now he finds himself destined to represent Nigeria in the upcoming Olympics.
- Despite not having met the singer, Emmiwuks managed to connect with Ben Murray Bruce and engaged in a conversation with the Minister of Sports, both of whom provided him with assurances of competing on the international stage as a cyclist for Nigeria.
Emmanuel Myam, popular cyclist, recognized as Emmi Wuks, now stands at the threshold of representing Nigeria in the upcoming Olympics following a slight setback in his quest to meet his music idol, Davido.
The Benue Man recently shared a video of him stepping out of a car as he entered the Silverbird Galleria in Lagos, accompanied by a friend.
Inside the building, Emmiwuks is captured with a joyful expression on his face as he meets the founder of the Silverbird Group, Benedict Murray-Bruce.
The Nigerian business magnate and politician is seen making a phone call to the Minister of Sports, introducing Emmiwuks and explaining his incredible 15-day bicycle journey from Benue to Lagos.
Ben Murray Bruce suggested to the Minister that Emmiwuks should be considered as one of the long-distance cyclists to represent Nigeria in the Olympics. The Sports Minister agreed and personally spoke with Emmiwuks, who was visibly thrilled at the prospect of cycling on the international stage.

The cyclist successfully reached Lagos, the bustling commercial city, on Friday, August 18, following a remarkable 15-day journey from Benue, cycling multiple states, all with the purpose of delivering a special gift to Davido.
Interestingly, the DMW Boss had recently arrived in Lagos. Despite Emmiwuks’ eager anticipation of meeting the OBO Crooner, he tried reaching out to him through social media but, up to this point, hasn’t had the chance to meet the singer in person.
Unfortunately, Davido’s schedule took him out of the country once again, this time for a concert in Dubai.
