“School of Eloquence has made headlines after completing a remarkable 480-hour speaking marathon, setting a new world record for the longest team speech relay.
The marathon event, titled “20 Days of Eloquence”, was held in Lagos and featured hundreds of participants delivering speeches continuously over 20 days. The initiative was organized to celebrate the institution’s 20th anniversary and promote communication, unity, and leadership through public speaking.
Founded by Ubong Essien, the School of Eloquence is widely known for training professionals, students, and leaders in communication excellence. Organizers described the challenge as more than a record attempt, calling it a national platform for voices from different backgrounds to be heard.
The relay reportedly involved strict timekeeping, witnesses, and official guidelines required for Guinness World Records verification. Speakers rotated throughout the event, ensuring the microphone remained active every hour of the 20-day challenge.
Supporters praised the accomplishment as a symbol of endurance, intellect, and unity, while many described it as one of Africa’s most ambitious public-speaking events.
If officially ratified, the feat would place Nigeria firmly in the global spotlight once again for a creative and inspiring world-record achievement.”
