Akwa Ibom's Support Will Help Me Set A New Guinness World Record – Mighty George

With determination in his voice and history in his heart, renowned broadcaster George Iniabasi Essien, popularly known as Mighty George, has issued a passionate call to the people of Akwa Ibom State, corporate Nigeria, and the global community to rally behind him as he embarks on a bold and history-making mission: a 100-hour non-stop radio talk show marathon.

This extraordinary Guinness World Record attempt, tagged "100 Hours Radio Record Talk Show," will air live on Comfort 95.1FM, Uyo, from midnight on Sunday, April 27 to Thursday, May 1, 2025. Beyond surpassing Japan’s Taishi Masuoka’s 88-hour record set in 2017, Mighty George seeks to spark a global movement celebrating the resilience of the human spirit, the timeless power of radio, and the cultural brilliance of Akwa Ibom.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday at Ceedapeg Hotels, Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo, George said, "This isn’t just about breaking a record. It’s about breaking limitations and telling the world that something global, something transformational, can begin right here in Akwa Ibom. With your support, I’m going to give the world 100 hours of brilliance, and maybe even go beyond that if Governor Umo Eno makes an appearance at the venue."

He expressed deep admiration for the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Pastor Umo Eno, PhD, and earnestly called on the state’s number one citizen to grace the occasion, stating that his presence would serve as a massive morale booster and a symbolic endorsement of youth ambition, resilience, and excellence.

But this isn’t just about a man behind a microphone. It’s a full-blown four-day celebration of sound, spirit, and spectacle. The Comfort FM premises will come alive with music concerts, comedy showcases, celebrity appearances, and a daily party atmosphere set to thrill guests, cheer on Mighty George, and create unforgettable memories.

With thousands of attendees expected at the venue and countless others tuning in via terrestrial and online platforms, this world-record attempt is primed to attract a global audience. It is, therefore, a golden opportunity for brands, businesses, and sponsors to align with an inspiring, high-impact event that is already generating widespread media buzz.

"We’re inviting forward-thinking companies to be part of this historic journey,” George emphasized. “Your ads, products, and services will enjoy unrivaled visibility across four days of engaging radio content, viral social media coverage, and massive press attention."

From telecoms to fintech, consumer brands to hospitality firms, fashion to food and beverage, the event presents a once-in-a-generation platform for businesses to tell their stories, drive engagement, and connect with both local and global audiences in a high-energy, record-setting atmosphere.

For the people of Akwa Ibom, home and abroad, this is a clarion call to rise in unity, pride, and celebration. It’s a chance to show the world the vibrant culture, innovation, and excellence that define the Akwa Ibom spirit.

"Let’s do this together,” Mighty George urged. “Let’s break barriers and remind the world that greatness doesn’t always come from the expected places, it can come from right here, in Uyo."

As he marks his 20th year in the media industry, George Iniabasi Essien is no stranger to the airwaves. A commanding voice, a master of the mic, and a source of inspiration to many, George has spent two decades informing, entertaining, and uplifting listeners across Nigeria. Now, he’s ready to make history with a microphone, a mission, and the support of his people.

The countdown has begun. The spotlight is fixed. Mighty George is ready. The world will be listening.
