Nigeria to Attempt Guinness World Record for Longest Dining Table in Abuja

Fola Badmus03 mins

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced plans to attempt a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest dining table, as part of a landmark cultural and tourism initiative in the nation’s capital. The ambitious record attempt will headline the upcoming ‘Oriki: Taste of Culture’ Gastronomy Festival, featuring a 3.6-kilometre-long dining table stretching through parts of Abuja. Abisoye Fagade, Director-General of the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR), disclosed the plan on Thursday during a briefing attended by Hannatu Musawa, Minister of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy. According to Fagade, the event — scheduled for December 6, 2025 — will host between 2,000 and 3,000 participants and serve a dual purpose: a world record attempt in the morning and a grand communal dining experience in the evening. “We plan to break the record in the morning of December 6 and use the same table for a dining event later. There will be food, culture, music and comedy in the evening,” Fagade said. “It will show that Abuja can also host major cultural events in December.” He explained that the festival aims to strengthen Nigeria’s tourism and hospitality value chain, focusing on skills development, entrepreneurship, and youth empowerment while attracting local and international investors. Minister Musawa endorsed the initiative, describing gastronomy as an emerging driver of economic growth and youth engagement comparable to Nigeria’s film, music, and fashion industries. “When we talk about economic growth and youth development, gastronomy plays a role just like film, music, and fashion. People eat every day, and Nigeria has made significant progress in showcasing its food globally,” she noted. Musawa also commended Nigerian chefs and food entrepreneurs for enhancing the country’s cultural influence through creative cuisine and culinary storytelling. The festival and world record attempt will be formally unveiled by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Abuja. The current Guinness World Record for the longest dining table stands at 3,189.93 meters, achieved in Cairo, Egypt, in 2019. Nigeria’s proposed 3.6-kilometer table would comfortably surpass this milestone if successful.

Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci has been officially presented with her second Guinness World Record plaque, recognizing her achievement for cooking the world’s largest pot of jollof rice. Guinness World Records confirmed that during a Lagos cookout in September, Baci prepared 8,780kg (19,356 pounds) of jollof rice, setting a new global record. This milestone follows her first Guinness recognition in May 2023, when she completed a 93-hour, 11-minute cooking marathon, making her Nigeria’s first chef to hold multiple Guinness World Records. Posting photos of the plaques on Instagram, Baci described the accomplishment as a story of “faith, fire, and history,” celebrating Nigeria’s culinary talent and creativity. “Our plaques are finally here! Two records. Two plaques. One story of faith, fire, and history. Twice, God showed up for me. Twice, we made history for Nigeria. And not just any records—two of the biggest culinary records ever set. Together with Gino, we created something bigger than ourselves, a story that reached over five billion people and reminded the world what’s possible when passion meets purpose. I’m a two-time world record holder, someone pinch me,” she wrote. She also quoted Isaiah 61:7, saying her journey proves that “instead of shame, you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.” Baci’s record-setting jollof rice event attracted more than 20,000 attendees, including food enthusiasts, celebrities, and influencers. In accordance with Guinness standards, all portions of the massive dish were distributed to guests and charitable organizations.

He commended Kanyeyachukwu, a non-verbal teenager on the autism spectrum, for using art as a powerful medium of self-expression, courage, and impact.   “At just 15, Kanyeyachukwu has accomplished what many would deem impossible. His record-breaking canvas, now recognised globally as the largest in the world created by an individual, is not only a personal triumph but also a powerful reminder that impossibility is truly a myth,” Sanwo-Olu said.   The Governor noted that the infinity symbol at the centre of the painting is a profound call for inclusion, acceptance and hope for persons living with autism, urging society to create more opportunities for every young person, regardless of their circumstances.   Sanwo-Olu stressed that Lagos State remains committed to supporting young people, whom he described as “the heartbeat of innovation and the stewards of our future”. He emphasised that the government will continue to invest in platforms that nurture youth talent, creativity and global competitiveness.   “On behalf of the Government and people of Lagos State, I congratulate Kanyeyachukwu for showcasing the Nigerian spirit of resilience and excellence on a global stage.

Chess: Tunde Onakoya Reclaims Guinness World Record

Fola Badmus03 mins

Nigerian chess champion, Tunde Onakoya, on Sunday set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest chess marathon, exceeding the previous record of 61 hours. Onakoya, founder of Chess in Slums Africa, alongside United States chess master Shawn Martinez, surpassed the 62-hour mark on Sunday. Announcing this via his X handle, Onakoya said, “For all the dreamers! We’ve officially broken the record. “If you had 70 hours to change the world, what would you do? Sometimes the world won’t hand you 70 hours on a golden platter. Sometimes, you have to carve it out of your own breath, your own becoming. Not for applause. Not for records. But for the quiet dreamers who need to see someone leap so they know it’s possible to fly. “It’s been over 50 hours of chess beneath the lights of Times Square.Every move, every hour, a love letter to children who’ve never known the luxury of a second chance. If your heart has ever burned for something bigger than yourself, come find us. Stand with us. “Proceeds from my limited edition chess sets will go directly towards our fundraising goal: to build a tuition-free school for homeless children. This is a dream I’ve carried for years. Because no child should ever have their childhood sacrificed for survival. No dream should be buried beneath the weight of poverty.” The chess marathon, taking place at the iconic Times Square in New York City, kicked off on Wednesday, 17 April, and is set to conclude later on Sunday, 20 April. This marks Onakoya’s second bid to achieve the prestigious record. He emphasised that the marathon’s purpose extends beyond breaking a record, as it is also about raising awareness and garnering support for the construction of the largest free school for homeless children in Nigeria. With the same Martinez, Onakoya completed a 60-hour chess marathon in April 2024, surpassing the 56-hour record previously set in 2018 by Norwegians Hallvard Haug Flatebø and Sjur Ferkingstad.
