A Nigerian man, Oluwatobi Kufeji, has embarked on the
longest singing marathon in his quest to set a new Guinness World Record.
The marathon kicked off in Lagos on July 5 and is expected
to run until July 13.
Kufeji had earlier announced his ambitious plan to undertake
a 200-hour praise-a-thon as he aimed to surpass the previous record of 105
hours set by Indian singer Sunil Waghmare in 2012.
“Guinness world records has accepted my application to break the record of the LONGEST SINGING MARATHON of 105 hours currently held by Sunil Waghmare (Indian) since March 2012 and the record of the LONGEST CONCERT BY A SOLO ARTIST for 501 hours currently held by Kuzhalmannam Ramakrishnan (Indian).
“These marathons will be done separately. I’m very convinced
that I will break the two records. I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me,” he posted.
As observed by our correspondent on Kufeji’s Instagram
handle, he has already surpassed 106 hours.
However, he is not the only Nigerian seeking to break
Guinness World Records recently.
Recall that Hilda Baci, a talented individual,
recently achieved a new record for the longest cooking marathon by an
individual.
Following in her footsteps, another chef based in Ekiti
State, Damilola Adeparusi embarked on a five-day cooking marathon, further
adding to the wave of record-breaking attempts. Also, a chef, Adeyeye Adeola recently undertook a
150-hour cooking marathon in the Ile Oluji/Oke Igbo Local Government Area of
Ondo state, to surpass Baci’s record.
