In the first leg of an epic 1300 miles across Nigeria, Michael is in bustling Lagos and an extraordinary waterfront slum school, then dodges alligators at the Emir of Kano's palace.

Michael must head off route via an area known for bandit attacks before taking to the stunning River Ethiope. And he finds himself at the centre of an extraordinary 'megachurch' service.

Michael embarks on a road trip across the country, finding out about the ancient sport of Dambe Boxing, and meeting a survivor of the kidnapping of schoolgirls by Boko Haram in 2014.
