The Syndik8 Records’ official disc jockey,
Obi Ajuonuma (DJ Obi) has put Nigeria on
the world map by breaking the Guinness
World Record for the Longest Marathon
DJ Obi on Friday morning at Sao Café,
Lekki, Lagos, broke 200-hour record set by
Polish DJ, Norbert Selmaj, also known as
Norberto Loco at The Underground Temple
Bar in Dublin, Ireland on November 27,
2014.
DJ Obi’s, the son of late Levi Ajuonuma, a
former Group General Manager, Public
Affairs Division for the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), began his
ten-day set on June 22nd which will run till
11:30 pm on July 2nd, 2016, when he would
have completed a total of 240 hours target
he set for himself.
While his achievement may not attract
financial reward, he would, however, be
recognised by Guinness Books of World
Record.
While on set, the DJ was allowed to take a
20-minute break every four hours or one
hour break after 12 hours. He was also
allowed daily medical checks, massages and
consumption of doses of vitamins to keep
him going despite his lack of sleep.
This is not the first time a Nigerian would
set an entertainment-related world record.
In 2006, Kafayat Shafau, popularly known
as Kaffy, set a world record in longest
dance with a time of 52 hours and 3
minutes.
In 2011, Chidera “Chiddy” Anamege of an
American based rap group, Chiddy Bang,
broke the world record for longest freestyle
rap after rapping for 9 hours, 16 minutes,
and 22 seconds.
