The most prominent was Suleiman Hashimu who walked from Lagos to Abuja.
His reward however was a presidential handshake and other goodies.
"I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to see Morata score."
In contrast, Nicolo De Marchi, a Juventus fan has decided to show his loyalty and support for his club by walking and cycling from Turin to Berlin where the final of the Uefa Champions league is being staged with the Italian requesting only a ticket for the final.
He began his quest by tweeting the club claiming he would leave the next day if they offered him a ticket. Unbelievably, Juventus president Andrea Agnelli promised him it would happen! At the end of Nicolo De Marchi's 683-mile walk from Turin to Berlin - where his beloved Juventus meet Barcelona on Saturday - awaits a ticket to the prestigious final, provided by the Italian club if he completes the journey.
"I will go on foot," wrote the 22-year-old, who has passed through Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Germany on his route.
Fatigue ensured that he arrived a day later than planned as he explained on instagram "the fatigue was so great".
