FUOYE student breaks 150 hours Drum-a-thon Guinness World Record attempt, continue to 200 hours

A 300-level student from the Federal University Oye Ekiti, Olaniyi Israel Adewale Eniola has broken the Guinness World Record for the longest drumming marathon.

Israel started the attempt to break Allister Brown’s 2023 record last week and has broken the existing record of 150 hours.

He went on to drum for two additional days against the stipulated six days, making it a whooping eight days. This would make it 200 hours.

Currently, the FUOYE student is at 183 hours with less than 20 hours more to go against all odds.

Many are impressed by his tenacity, strength, and determination and several celebrities like Woli Agba, Mr. Macaroni, and Goroso Ekiti among others showed their support for him.

Nigerians give their unalloyed support to Israel as his social media handles are flooded with words of encouragement and commendation.

@jessicachinemelu: “Good luck record breaker”

@thatsmomentoum: “Keep pushing.”

@rachael_omololami: “Omoh I trekked all the way from Idofin to semilore hostel To and Fro to see Enny.”

@hypemanoshakpolor8: “I came to oye ekiti from Lagos but nobody knows where he is doing it In oye ekiti!! How come pls do more publicity for him.”

Some were however skeptical of the attempt being approved and recognized by the Guinness World Record but Israel revealed he gained approval from the necessary board before starting.

Good luck to him.
