Currently situated at Watbridge Hotel and Suites in Uyo, his endeavor has drawn the attention and support of a captivated audience of local communities and book enthusiasts.

Having received official approval from the Guinness World Records organization, Obot assumed his position in a well-lit room, standing against a pristine white background.

Equipped with a microphone to meticulously record every uttered word, he began his arduous journey to make his mark in history.
