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.

Nigerian Rapper Nnamdi Nwabasili famously known as N6  shares his take on the current activities in Nigeria and describes it with a bold claim.

In a viral video, the rapper spoke on the recent violence attacks in Benue State that took the loves of 200 people.

Let me tell you something, whether you want to accept it or not. Nigeria is at war; Nigerians just don’t know it yet. Nigerians watch so many movies, so they assume a war is like a football match where the two opponents will face themselves and start fighting.

“But in reality, it is not always so. The war has started since 2016/2017. The problem is that most people reside in Lagos, Abuja, and state capitals, so the war hasn’t reached them. But ask people in rural areas. Nigeria is at war. Nigeria has been at war since 2016/2017 officially. Nigerians are just waiting to hear someone officially declare war before they know that they are at war. Hmm.”
