Guinness World Record: Nigerian marathoner reader hits 145 hours target

After the initial setback caused by “equipment/power failure leading to technical issues”, the Nigerian marathoner reader, John Obot, on Monday, reached his 145-hour target.

This was achieved at exactly 2 p.m. while he was reading Echoes of the Traditional Society, authored by Akpandem James, a renowned journalist and former managing editor of Daily Independent newspaper.

The book talks about the unique traditions and culture of the then Eastern Region of Nigeria.
