Goodness!! Akwa Ibom's Unity Choir Bags Guinness World Records Honor

A Nigerian choral gathering in Akwa Ibom State has smashed the heretofore existing world record for the biggest number of Christmas song vocalists on the planet.

The record, authoritatively ensured by the Guinness World Records and glued on its site www.guinessworldrecords.com, was broken by the gathering known as the Unity Choir in a show held at the Uyo Township Stadium on December 13, 2014 with Guinness World Records delegates in participation.

The choir, a 25,272 man-solid choral gathering, smashed the previous record of 15,674 ditty vocalists set by a gathering known as CENTI in Bogota, Columbia on December 15, 2013. An agent of the Guinness World Records, Liz Smith, saluted the choir, saying : 'It is currently time
to uncover the report of the authority endeavor to break the Guinness World Record of the biggest gathering of hymn artists. Our groups of very prepared record experts have arrived at a choice. The record to beat was 15,674.

I can now affirm that your endeavor to break the record has been fruitful. Congrats on getting another Guinness World Records Title. Godswill Akpabio Unity Choir has attained to the title of the biggest gathering of hymn artists. You are authoritatively astonishing.' Responding to the record-breaking accomplishment, Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio said: 'For this present month, we broke the Guinness Book of World Records for the biggest number of Carol Singers ever on the planet. This earth shattering accomplishment was accomplished when Akwa Ibom individuals drawn from all the hideouts and corners of the state met up in the soul of adoration and fellowship.

I accept that on the off chance that we assimilate the righteousness of adoration and stand together in fraternity in the New Year, we would continue setting records and the dividers of division, which have been raised by some egotistical government officials, would tumble down.' The Unity Choir sang a mixture of The First Noel, Joy to the World, O Christmas Tree, Hark the Herald the Angels Sing, Once in Royal David's City and O Come All Ye Faithful in an energizing interpretation which kept going in excess of 20 minutes at the stadium...
