READMANIA: AKWA IBOMITES SET NEW TEMPLATE FOR INTELLECTUAL TOURISM

As the official attempt to break Guinness World Records for longest marathon reading aloud intensifies, Akwa Ibomites have risen to set a new template for intellectual tourism in the state while supporting John Obot, the marathoner who is aiming to set a new record.

At the ongoing reading aloud event in Uyo, codenamed 'Readmania', various groups and individuals in Akwa Ibom State have committed to lead a new era of development that is significantly driven by what they describe as 'intellectual tourism' which in the long run is expected to boost literacy and reading culture.

While commending the marathoner, groups and individuals in their separate statements, expressed happiness on the Guinness World Records attempt, holding that it has stirred up a progressive literary revolution in Akwa Ibom State, a development that is hoped to be sustained.

The Readmania project which has Uyo Book Club and Watbridge Hotels as lead partners, has had prominent visitors and supporters showing up to identify with the marathoner and encouraging him.

The Founder of Uyo Book Club Dr Udeme Nana who is also the Chief Programme Director of the Readmania project, told the press that the marathon reading aloud record breaking attempt is a grand call to reawake book culture and promote education related initiatives.

Some of the visitors include the wife of the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Patience Umo Eno, Deputy Speaker of Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Kufreabasi Edidem, Mr Aniekpeno Mkpanang, Nigeria Union of Journalists, Akwa Ibom State Council, among others.

THE 100 HOURS TO HISTORY

Just like yesterday, the marathon that began with one small second, minute and hour, has drifted steadily towards the finish line. The 100th hour landmark has beckoned at exactly 05:00PM on Saturday September 16.

Aiming to make history by breaking and setting a new record, John Obot remains unshaken on his road to 145 t marathon reading aloud.

Impossible is nothing.

For the 3rd Time, Senator Ekong Sampson Keeps Vigil With John Obot in Critical Night Time

Senator Ekong Sampson, representing Akwa Ibom South in the Senate, has continued to inspire at the ongoing Readmania. Late last night, for the 3rd time running, the Akwa Ibom South Senator visited marathoner John Obot at the City View Hall, Watbridge Hotels, Uyo.

Senator Sampson, who is barely a week in the country, since his return from vacation, kept vigil with the Guinness World Record chaser in the critical night hours to cheer and encourage him. Later today, John Obot will surpass the 100hours milestone enroute to the home run.

Also with the Akwa Ibom South Senator last night were the founder of Uyo Book Club, Dr Udeme Nana, SSA to the Governor on Documentation, Essien Ndueso and Chairman, Nigerian Society of Engineers, Uyo Branch, Engr. Uwem Akpan, FNSE.

THE FARTHER WE GO, THE STRONGER WE BECOME

The Guinness World Records official attempt by John Obot is becoming more interesting.
As the hours tick bigger, the marathoner turns the marathon to a thriller.

Reading 'Obstacle is the Way' by Ryan Holiday, John Obot turns his reading to a lecture, infusing it with real-life scenarios. For instance, when discussing how to anticipate failure, he advises, 'Let's all be adults here.

A determined John who's fixated on the record goal elaborated how human can failure and life experiences.

"For instance, I hope we're all adults in this place. As a guy, before you go to toast a girls, like when I did mine, it's better you do so, expecting a NO answer. So, that when she tells you NO, it doesn't hit you by surprise", John said.

In spite of the challenges, John Obot who had earlier lost over 50hours, smashed 70hours today about 11am.

This is the CAN DO spirit of John Obot.

Impossibility is nothing.
