Nigerian gospel artiste, Somtochukwu Nsofor, professionally known as Essemm, has embarked on a mission to break the Guinness World Record for the longest hours of continuous singing.
Nsofor said that the motivation was also to create a platform where other gospel artistes would be encouraged to achieve whatever they wanted.
Nsofor, while addressing newsmen in Lagos on Sunday, said that the aim was to sing for 128 hours, surpassing the current record of 105 hours, held by Indian singer, Sunil Waghmare.
He said that it was not just about breaking the record but “seeing Jesus Christ on a global scale.
‘’I do not think anybody has broken the record talking about Jesus Christ, right?
“I do not know how I will put it but I know what this is going to do when we break this record, it will be clear that someone, who sang gospel music broke the record.
‘’It is about the kingdom, it is a global media impact for the gospel,’’ he said.
According to him, breaking this record is not just about the hours, it is about using every minute to uplift, inspire, and share the love of Christ with the world.
He said he believed that music was a powerful tool to heal and transform lives, and he wanted the effort to serve as a testament to the strength of faith.
Nsofor said that the motivation was also to create a platform where other gospel artists would be encouraged to achieve whatever they wanted.
