An Abuja-based disc jockey, VDJ Mobi, has completed a 72-hour non-stop performance in a bid to set a new Guinness World Record.
The DJ, whose real name is Amaobi Udeh, described the feat as physically demanding but deeply rewarding after months of preparation.
According to The Nation, the event, tagged Mobi’s Mixathon, featured an uninterrupted DJ set that lasted three consecutive days. The performance followed strict technical guidelines required for Guinness World Records validation.
Speaking after the session, VDJ Mobi said the experience pushed her limits but delivered a strong sense of fulfilment.
“I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and relief. Standing here after 72 hours, the physical exhaustion is real, but the mental fulfilment is on another level,” she said.
She added that maintaining energy throughout the marathon was a key achievement.
“We didn’t just play music, we curated an experience that stayed high-energy until the very last second. To see a vision that started as a draft on paper turn into a successful 72-hour reality gives me a deep sense of peace and personal victory.”
VDJ Mobi credited the audience for sustaining momentum, noting that the turnout challenged perceptions about nightlife engagement in the Federal Capital Territory.
“The response was electric and quite humbling. The Abuja crowd completely shattered the stereotype that they are reserved. They were the heartbeat of this marathon,” she said.
On compliance with Guinness World Records requirements, she expressed confidence that all protocols were followed, including proper documentation and witness coordination.
“We were incredibly disciplined with the GWR protocols, from the logbooks to the witness transitions. We didn’t take any shortcuts,” she said, while acknowledging the role of sponsors and partners in ensuring seamless logistics.
Beyond the record attempt, the DJ said the event also served as a platform to advocate for the girl-child.
“This wasn’t just about entertainment; it was a 72-hour broadcast for a cause. We used the platform to emphasise that the girl child deserves every opportunity to dream and achieve,” she said.
She urged aspiring record breakers to prioritise purpose and preparation.
“Your ‘why’ must be stronger than your fatigue. Prepare meticulously, respect the protocols, and build a team that believes in you,” she added.
