A Nigerian man has received approval from the management of Guinness World Record to attempt breaking the Longest Marathon Reading Aloud record, currently held by Risbai Isakov from Kyrgyzstan (who read aloud for 124 hours in September last year)

The Nigerian man, identified as John Obot, seeks to read continuously for 145 Hours to displace the current record holder! Already, his Facebook page - John Obot Reads Aloud - is gathering momentum in anticipation of the record breaking attempt slated to hold from 9th to 15th September, this year.
