Myam Emmanuel, known as Emmiwuks, a proud Nigerian and Pan-African advocate, has reached Day 121 of an extraordinary cycling journey from Nigeria to the United States. This remarkable odyssey, dubbed “NIG2USA on a Bicycle,” sees the cyclist traversing over 20 African countries with a singular mission: to raise awareness and support for orphans, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and the vulnerable across the continent.
Emmiwuks’ journey is not one of luxury or fame but of profound impact, driven by faith and determination. In a heartfelt post addressed to Pope Leo XIV, the cyclist shared the hardships and motivations behind the ride. “For those without shoes, I ride barefoot sometimes. For those without a voice, I speak louder at every border. And for those without a home, I sleep wherever the road allows,” he wrote, embodying a spirit of solidarity with the marginalized.
The cyclist’s ultimate dream is to meet Pope Leo XIV, whom he admires for his humility, compassion, and leadership rooted in love, service, and faith. Emmiwuks sees the Pope as a shepherd whose actions prove that the Church’s true presence lies not just in buildings but in the streets, alongside people in their pain and hope. “Your words and example have carried many of us through our darkest days,” he noted, highlighting the Pope’s ability to inspire through forgiveness and resilience.
This journey, now passing through Bissau, is both a physical and spiritual endeavor. Emmiwuks rides for the forgotten, for Africa, and toward what he calls a “divine encounter” with Pope Leo XIV, whom he believes demonstrates that love is the greatest journey of all. Accompanied by a prayer for the Pope’s wisdom, strength, and protection, Emmiwuks’ message ends with a call to unity: “Together we ride. Together we rise.”
As Emmiwuks continues this inspiring trek, his story resonates as a testament to purpose and compassion, aiming to heal broken places, restore hope, and inspire a new generation of believers and dreamers. Follow his progress with the hashtags #NIG2USA, #adventure, and #Emmiwuks.
