In November 2014, Irish DJ Noberto Loco made it into the Guinness Book Of Records after DJing for 200 hours even when power failure tried to stop his shine.

But at 7:30am on July 1, Nigeria’s DJ Obi snatched that title from him after DJing for over 8 days and counting.

Since he started his path into the world of music 8 years ago, DJ Obi Ajuonuma was obviously on the road to greatness when he won the Nigerian Entertainment Award for World Best DJ in 2011.

The Syndic8 Records DJ is the son of former TV host and producer, Dr Levi Ajuonuma, who died in the Dana Air plane crash in 2012.

Although he beat the world record, DJ Obi is aiming to make a 10-day set and has roughly 40 hours left.

However he won’t be receiving any cash gift but will have his name included in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Nigerians couldn’t be more proud of him.

Because this feat is truly inspiring.

Well done DJ Obi! All the best to him as he tries to reach his own personal record.
