FEAR IS THE PRICE OF FREEDOM

 I WALKED ONE (1) MILLION MILES ALONE THROUGH HELL AND LEARNED THAT FEAR IS THE PRICE OF FREEDOM.

By; Abubakar Abdullahi Shuaibu

 I take risks on solo hikes, navigating animal traps and dangerous terrain. But for lazy ones stepping out of your comfort zone is the biggest threat. I do it to be more open to the world, in the hope it will be more open to me.

When I walk alone, the consequences of every good or bad choice I make fall entirely on me: a responsibility and a freedom. As a little boy from downtown, I rarely had to consider what I wanted and needed without having to first attend to other people. I know there are risks, but each time I come out of that “fear”, I feel stronger and more confident. Weighed against the simple daily rhythms of a long-distance walk and the joy and wonder I experience. Reasonable and calculative risk becomes a small part of the equation, and I am willing to do more and more whenever the need arises.

Many things frightened me as I made my way out of my comfort zone over the Gorillas in Sambisa forest and across Gashaka Gumti National Park to Adamawa State. Some were rational fears aggressive hunter's dogs chased me (only two, called off by owners), and I passed through hell.

I arrived at a village called SARDAUNA, The village was quiet. Not even roosters were up as I found my stride on a dirt path that would, according to Google, take me back to my route. All I had to do was follow the track that cut south through a forest that showed on the map as a fairly small green blob between me and my destination. No problem! I face my fears.

Except that Google and I were a little lost. Or, more accurately, the signal was sketchy, and I was not 100% sure this was the right way. However, it is.

Journey of self-discovery

Had I been scared? I’d felt the prick of heightened alertness. In hindsight, taking the shortcut might have been marginally or royally stupid. Certainly, it was a challenge, but one I felt up to, and while it may be unclear how much luck played a part, I did manage to come out in one piece. Mostly, I think, I was too busy paying attention to be afraid. Now, I have conquered my fears and become fearless. Thanks for taking the time to read this article. Hope you will learn from my lifestyle and become the real person you are designed to be.
