A Nigerian lecturer is announced his plans to break the Guinness World Records for the longest lecturing time.

"The computer science lecturer at Federal University, Oye-Ekiti is organizing the ACA-A-THON event with the aim of surpassing Guinness World Records for the longest duration of lecturing, which is currently set at 150 hours."

So far, the longest lecture marathon lasted 139 hr 42 min 56 sec. This feat was accomplished by Arvind Mishra (India) at Graphic Era University, in Dehradun, India, from 1 to 7 March 2014.
