Two Nigerian Teachers Make History with Dual Guinness World Records

Two Nigerian Teachers Make History with Dual Guinness World Records

In a powerful demonstration of commitment to education, two Nigerians have captured global attention by securing Guinness World Records in a remarkable tandem of achievements.

Seyi Anifowose: Uniting Thousands for Teachers' Rights

Education advocate Seyi Anifowose has made history by organizing the largest gathering of teachers ever recorded in one place. The monumental event took place at the "Let There Be Teachers Conference 2025" on September 20th, filling Lagos's Tafawa Balewa Square with over 60,000 educators.

Anifowose's record is more than a numerical feat; it's a strategic move to amplify his advocacy. He aims to use this global recognition as a catalyst to demand improved welfare and stronger policy support for Nigerian teachers, with plans to directly engage the National Assembly for sector-wide reforms.

John Obot: A Marathon for Literacy

In a separate but equally inspiring achievement, teacher John Obot has shattered the record for the longest marathon reading aloud. Held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, Obot read non-stop for an astounding 145 hours, decisively surpassing the previous record of 124 hours.

His incredible endurance was fueled by a profound dedication to promoting literacy and a love for literature. Obot's feat has been widely celebrated, turning a personal challenge into a national campaign for the power of reading.

Together, these records highlight a growing movement within Nigeria to champion education, from supporting its educators to inspiring its students.
