24-Year-Old Nigerian, Oluwole, Breaks GWR As Silverbird Introduces World Records
A 24-year-old Nigerian, Oside Oluwole, has broken a world record by continuously playing a soccer video game for three days, according to the Guinness World Records (GWR).
This is coming about two weeks that Silverbird Group announced its plan to stage Silverbird World of Records.
The GWR said Oluwole, with the nickname, “Khoded”, performed the longest videogame marathon playing a soccer game, registering a time of 75 hours.
It said he far surpassed the previous record of 50 hours, set by Englishman David Whitefoot in 2022.
“Oside, a qualified biochemist who currently works as a car dealer, attempted this record to raise money for a local hospital in his hometown of Ijebu Ode.
“Unlike all seven previous record holders who played either FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer during their attempts, Oside played mobile game Dream League Soccer 2023 on his iPhone, which he connected to a TV screen.
“Oside has been an avid fan of the free-to-play soccer sim ever since first downloading it in 2016.
”He played over 500 matches during his record attempt.”
For rules of all ‘longest marathon’ records, GWR said Oluwole accumulated five minutes of rest time after each hour of gaming, only during these breaks could he eat, nap, or use the toilet.
“I really enjoyed myself playing for 75 hours straight with just some hours of rest.
”It wasn’t an easy task, but I must say it was all fun.
“It was such a great moment; the event was very interesting and I’m grateful to God that it was successful,” Oluwole said.
According to Oluwole, he now hopes to set more world records by playing soccer videogames, including those on consoles such as the FIFA and PES series.
For the upcoming Silverbird’s world record tv series called ‘Silverbird’s World of Records’, the first event will be a dance marathon.
The goal is to have a dance marathon event that aims to set a new record for the longest dance marathon by an individual.
“As the creative industry continues to thrive locally, the demand for more talent discovery platforms can never be overemphasized.
Silverbird group has decided once again to create a global record by empowering new stars.
The Silverbird’s World of Records proudly presents, the Marathon Dancing Record Attempt. The first event in a series of world record attempts.
The event will take place on the 2nd of August, 2024 at the Silverbird Galleria in Victoria Island, Lagos.
