Artist from Nigeria Looking to Set a Brand-New Record

By: Xiao (Jenny) Liang

An artist from Nigeria looking to set a brand-new Guinness World Record. Fola David is a doctor who spent nearly a week working on what he hopes will be the largest ever drawing created by one person. David needed a large enough space to draw his mammoth, so he worked on in a stadium in the city of Lagos, the stadium being 1,050 square meters.


Fola’s artwork shows two giant hands holding Nigerias map, is a celebration of the country cultural heritage. Fola says “Our diversity should be seen as something that unites us, as something that strengthens us, rather than something that should create that divide between us.”
