UNILAG Student Sets Record for Longest Catwalk
A student at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Ololade Ayelabola, has set a remarkable new milestone in the Guinness World Records by covering the longest distance ever walked by a model.
Her inspiring feat saw her complete a 130.62-kilometer catwalk, surpassing her original goal of 120 kilometers.
Ayelabola’s journey began on October 1st at UNILAG’s indoor sports center, where she set out to achieve the record-breaking walk. Initially aiming for 120 kilometers, she pushed herself further, adding an additional 10 kilometers to her total distance.
Over the course of her challenge, she walked an impressive 2,058 laps within the sports center.
In a post on Instagram, Ayelabola expressed the deeper significance behind her attempt, stating that it was about more than just setting a personal record.
She highlighted her mission to break boundaries for models, particularly those held back by societal expectations and rigid industry standards.
“This walk is not just for me. It’s for every model who has been boxed in by stereotypes,” she shared.
“I also want to showcase the creativity and richness of Nigeria’s fashion industry to the global stage.”
Although Ayelabola’s extraordinary achievement has already drawn widespread attention, it is still awaiting official verification from the Guinness World Records.
If confirmed, she will surpass the previous record held by Roberta Brown and Lorraine McCourt, who walked 114.4 kilometers in Dublin, Ireland, on September 21, 1983.
Her remarkable determination and desire to spotlight Nigerian creativity underscore the broader impact of her accomplishment, demonstrating that it’s possible to redefine the limitations imposed by the fashion world and present a new narrative to the global audience.
Afrobeats superstar, Davido, whose full name is David Adeleke, has extended his congratulations to former U.S. President Donald Trump following his re-election as the 47th President of the United States.

In his message, Davido commended Harris for her strength and accomplishments, referring to her as a “solid woman.”
He expressed that while the election did not go in her favor, she should hold her head high for all that she has achieved.
His words were a gesture of respect for her groundbreaking political career, particularly as the first woman, first Black woman, and first woman of South Asian descent to hold the office of Vice President.
Davido’s message on social media read: “Congratulations 47th POTUS @realDonaldTrump.
But you @KamalaHarris should be proud! You did that! A solid woman.”
It was clear that the artist, known for his bold personality and influential social media presence, wanted to mention Harris’s resilience in the face of adversity.
What made the post even more significant was that Davido revealed that this election marked his first time ever voting in a U.S. presidential election.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, the Nigerian singer has long held dual citizenship in the U.S. and Nigeria.
However, the singer chose not to disclose which candidate he voted for, keeping his personal political views private.

Nigerian Artist, Ruger shares his thought on his fully booked shows more than that of his colleagues. He reveals that he does not just perform his songs but shows his personality to the crowd. He states that an artist can have a lot of hit songs but can still be clueless on the stage.
“Let me explain to you why I get booked so much. I don’t come on stage to sing (of which I know l’m so good at) I bring my whole fucking personality on stage it’s not a joke”.
“It’s not by having hit songs you can have a million hit songs and still be clueless on stage at a 200-capacity venue.”
This situation can also explain what Whitemoney meant when talking about Shallipopi’s success in music.
