Over 1,000 children join Fola David world record drive

Nigerian artist Fola David is spearheading an ambitious project to break a Guinness World Record, involving over 1,000 children in a fabric marbling painting event. The endeavor, titled "Colors of Possibility," aims to foster creativity, inclusion, and teamwork among children from diverse backgrounds. Scheduled for November 11, 2026, at Onikan Stadium in Lagos, the event will bring together youngsters from public and private schools, vocational centers, and the wider community.

David, a Guinness World Record holder himself, emphasizes that the project will offer children the chance to contribute to a collective artwork, develop their artistic abilities, and build confidence. The initiative, backed by 78MFB, will also feature a ₦10 million Creative Fund to support participants' creative potential and extend the project's impact beyond the event.

With the backing of the Lagos State Government, the Lagos State Ministry of Education, and various other ministries, this record-breaking attempt seeks to inspire young people and demonstrate the power of collective creativity.
