A Nigerian doctor has achieved a Guinness World Record for the largest drawing

Nigerian doctor and hyper-realism artist Fola David has achieved a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the largest drawing by an individual.

The Lagos-based visual artist embarked on a six-day challenge starting on July 16 at Onikan Stadium, with the aim of creating a 1000 square meter artwork showcasing Nigeria’s diverse cultures.

On Friday night, he shared an update on social media, writing: “Congratulations to us all. On Day 4 at 9 pm, we broke the current record of 629.98 square metres, but we are not done! As the goal is to get over 1000 square metres of canvas covered in drawings; we are currently at 689 square metres. Let’s Go!”

Among the notable Nigerians who visited David were Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party; former GWR holder Hilda Baci; and Farooq Oreagba, the businessman who made headlines at the 2024 Ojude Oba Festival.

David, an alumnus of the College of Medicine University of Lagos (CMUL), also received support from the college’s management.
