Khoded’s Marathon Gaming Journey: Breaking Boundaries and Raising Awareness for Spinal Cord Injuries

Share

In the world of gaming, records are meant to be broken, but few can match the remarkable feats of Oside Oluwole Joshua, better known as Khoded. A biochemistry graduate from the Federal University of Oye-Ekiti, Khoded is no stranger to the rigors of pushing his limits. Having already earned a Guinness World Record for the Longest Video Game Marathon Playing a Soccer Game at an astonishing 75 hours, he recently embarked on a new challenge—this time attempting two new records: Longest Video Game Marathon Playing a Mobile Game and Longest Video Game Marathon Playing a Sports Game.”

But Khoded’s marathon attempts go beyond personal achievement. He is driven by a deep desire to make a difference in his community, focusing his efforts this time on raising awareness for spinal cord injuries (SCI) during #SCIAwarenessMonth. As he pushes the boundaries of what the human body and mind can endure in marathon gaming sessions, his efforts shine a light on a noble cause.

A Passion for Community

Despite the global recognition and accolades that come with breaking a Guinness World Record, Khoded’s motivation is rooted in his dedication to giving back. His initial record-breaking attempt was tied to raising funds for a local hospital in his hometown, but he wasn’t satisfied with how it turned out. “During my last attempt, I failed to achieve my goal of raising funds for the local hospital in my local government,” Khoded shared during the interview. “So, I decided to take on this challenge again, to do something for my community.”

In his latest endeavor, Khoded shifted his focus to spinal cord injury victims in Nigeria, raising funds and awareness for those affected. “I discovered that September is the awareness month for spinal cord injury victims in Nigeria, and I thought of raising funds to support them,” he explained.

The Preparation and the Challenge

Undertaking such a monumental feat is no easy task, and Khoded’s training required both mental and physical endurance. He prepared himself by aligning with the strict rules of Guinness World Records, ensuring he could manage rest breaks, stay focused, and push through the fatigue.

During his marathon, Khoded adhered to the guidelines, taking breaks only when absolutely necessary and using every other moment to engage with the gaming community. In fact, tutoring others online while gaming helped him maintain his focus and strength, an impressive testament to his dedication.

It wasn’t easy,” Khoded admits, “but the support of friends and family who cheered me on kept me going.

The Support and Impact

As with his previous attempts, the response from fans and the gaming community has been overwhelming. While some joked that they could never attempt such a record, Khoded takes it all in stride. His dedication to the cause and his focus on raising awareness has only grown stronger.

The fundraising effort for spinal cord injury victims, which coincided with his record attempt, is an initiative he hopes will bring relief to those in need. “The fundraiser will do little or more for the victims of spinal cord injury,” he noted, “and it’s an initiative to better the community and ease some of the government’s duties.

What’s Next for Khoded?

Although he once said that one marathon record attempt was enough for any individual, Khoded’s passion for gaming and community work continues to drive him forward. “Here I am again, hoping to get two more world records under the Marathon’ category,” he shared, with a laugh. While he remains uncertain about future attempts, for now, he’s looking forward to some much-needed relaxation.

But even as he takes a well-earned break, Khoded’s work isn’t finished. He continues to encourage his supporters to contribute to his fundraiser for spinal cord injury victims, reminding everyone that their efforts can bring about real, meaningful change in their community.
