Christopher Olusa, the brains behind the remarkable #TalkWithTheDuke platform, unveiled an ambitious project set to capture the world’s attention – the Speech Marathon. With an unwavering passion for change, Olusa, an alumnus of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, stands at the helm of this extraordinary event, poised to make history.
The genesis of this endeavor lies in the profound belief in the power of words to effect change. The Speech Marathon transcends ordinary boundaries, shattering limits, and aspiring towards something truly extraordinary. Olusa’s relentless dedication and commitment have now borne fruit, as Guinness World Records has granted approval for this monumental undertaking.
The Speech Marathon is not just another event; it is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transformative power of words. Over the course of five days, Olusa will embark on a journey of enlightenment, reading speeches from inspirational figures spanning history’s annals. From past and present world leaders to influential individuals who have left an indelible mark on our world, the marathon will draw wisdom and inspiration from their words.
The endeavor has garnered immense support from partners and sponsors who recognize its noble cause. Their invaluable contributions have brought the project to this pivotal point, and Olusa humbly requests their continued support as they strive to make history.
Public and press support has been a driving force behind this journey, and it is to them that Olusa now extends an open invitation. He appeals to all, near and far, to join in this extraordinary journey – from Words to World Records. Together, they shall make history, and together, they shall inspire change.
Yet, the Speech Marathon is not just about setting records; it is also about making a difference. All funds raised during the marathon will be dedicated to the noble cause of training children with Aphasia, a brain disorder that affects speech and comprehension. This initiative will be conducted under the banner of the #TalkWithTheDuke Foundation, reflecting the commitment to making a meaningful impact on those in need.
The theme of the marathon, “Voices of Change: Inspiring Solutions for a Better World,” encapsulates the essence of this monumental event. It resonates deeply with the aspiration to inspire transformation, ignite hope, and foster positive change.
As Christopher Olusa stands on the brink of this extraordinary journey, he does so with the peak of physical fitness and mental readiness. The esteemed Dejavu Hotel has been chosen as the venue for this momentous occasion, with the event scheduled to commence on the 11th of September.
The world watches as one young Nigerian, armed with a passion for change and the power of words, sets out on an unprecedented journey. The Speech Marathon promises not only to etch Christopher Olusa’s name into the annals of history but to inspire countless others to believe in the transformative power of their own voices.
