Oside Oluwole, a Nigerian biochemist and automobile dealer known as Khoded, has recently achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new world record recognized by the Guinness World Records.

At just 24 years old, Oluwole successfully completed a marathon gaming session lasting an astonishing 75 hours, focusing on a popular soccer video game and engaging in over 500 matches during his marathon session.

This accomplishment surpasses the previous record of 50 hours, which was set by Englishman David Whitefoot back in 2022.

Oluwole’s determination to break this record was not merely for personal glory but also as a means to raise funds for a local hospital in his hometown of Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria.

The Guinness World Records highlighted Oluwole’s achievement, noting that his achievement stands out for the substantial margin by which he exceeded the previous record.

Initially set at 24 hours in 2010, the endurance record for continuous gaming has seen several challengers over the years, gradually increasing to 50 hours before Oluwole’s remarkable 75-hour milestone.

This impressive display of endurance and skill in gaming has garnered widespread recognition and serves as a testament to Oluwole’s commitment to both his passion for gaming and his community.

Published

on


Former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke has filed a motion to amend her lawsuit challenging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) order for the final forfeiture of her seized assets.

At a Federal High Court hearing in Abuja presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, Alison-Madueke’s counsel confirmed filing the amendment motion and serving the EFCC. Notably, no EFCC representatives appeared in court.

The embattled ex-minister also sought an extension of time to contest the EFCC’s public notice regarding the sale of her confiscated properties, claiming she was denied a fair hearing during the forfeiture proceedings.

The EFCC, however, rejected Alison-Madueke’s allegations, maintaining that the forfeiture cases were lawfully adjudicated over time.

Justice Ekwo adjourned the case to February 17, 2025, to consider the motion to amend the originating process.
