Where it all began
Growing up in Nigeria, the world felt both enormous and impossibly far away. Travel was something that happened to other people — people with the right passports, the right bank balances, the right faces. I felt that distance keenly, and for a long time, I let it hold me back.
Then one day, I decided not to. I don't remember exactly when the shift happened — it wasn't dramatic, there was no single moment of revelation. But I began to plan, to save, to research obsessively. And then I went.
The passport that changed everything
Travelling on a Nigerian passport is an exercise in patience, persistence, and occasionally heartbreak. Visas that take months. Rejections with no explanation. Queues at embassies that start before sunrise. I know this world intimately — and I've navigated it successfully enough to visit 29 countries across all 7 continents.
That includes Antarctica — the 7th continent, the most remote place on earth, a destination most people never dream of attempting. I did it. And I wrote every word of it down so that you could too.
Why sustainability is non-negotiable
I am a sustainability consultant by profession. I run Terra-Verte Solutions, a firm that helps organisations in Nigeria and across Africa transform their operations using ICT solutions. The environment is not separate from my life — it is woven through everything I do.
That means travelling thoughtfully. Choosing operators who give back to local communities. Avoiding wildlife experiences that exploit animals. Being honest about the carbon cost of flying, and making choices that offset that cost wherever possible. Little Green Passport is where I hold myself accountable to those values — publicly, imperfectly, but always honestly.
For the women who wonder
This blog exists because when I was searching for travel content that looked like me, spoke to my reality, and understood the specific challenges of travelling as an African woman on an African passport — I couldn't find it. So I built it.
If you are a woman who has ever looked at a travel photo and thought "that's not for people like me" — this is your space. You are exactly who I built this for. The world is waiting for you, and I am here to help you navigate it.
