Lagos recently became the center of a historic educational initiative as Olaoluwa Segun David, a counselling psychologist and cognitive behavioral therapist, delivered a continuous 161-hour lecture on the theme "Psychology of Parenting," aiming to set a Guinness World Record for the Longest Marathon Lecture.
The marathon, held from Sunday, 30th November to Sunday, 7th December 2025, took place at Phaze 4 Estate, Lagos Island, drawing parents, educators, faith leaders, caregivers, and online audiences. Topics ranged from child emotional development and parental mental health to discipline strategies rooted in growth rather than punishment.
