Popular comedian Woli Arole has announced his ambitious plan to embark on a 5000-hour prayer marathon, with the intention of setting a new Guinness World Record for the “longest prayer session.” Taking to Instagram, Woli Arole called on his supporters to stay tuned for the announcement of the commencement date.
“Pray-a-thon, 5000 hours. It is doable, anticipate Guinness Book Records,” his Instagram post, tagging the Guinness World Records, stated.
This follows the recent attention received by Hilda Baci, a native of Akwa-Ibom, who attempted to break the record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual. Baci aimed to surpass the previous record of 87 hours and 45 minutes set by Indian chef Lata Tondon in 2019. While Baci’s record attempt is yet to be verified by the Guinness World Records, others have also been inspired to try their hand at the feat.
