In an audacious fusion of innovation, culture, and national pride, Tingo AI is set to power one of the most ambitious creative movements in Nigerian history; a Guinness World Record attempt that will unite millions in telling Nigeria’s story through animation.
Titled AnimNation, this historic initiative aims to break the world record for the most participants in a collaborative animated film project, and it’s being championed by none other than Adetunwase Adenle, Nigeria’s four-time Guinness World Record holder and a global advocate for education through creativity.
With Tingo AI as the creative engine, millions of young people across Nigeria and the diaspora will submit 1-minute animations inspired by real moments from Nigerian history. These clips will be woven into a single animated film — the largest of its kind ever attempted.
“History isn’t meant to be archived — it’s meant to be animated, reimagined, and retold by the very people who live its consequences and carry its promise,” said Odusola Opeyemi, Head of Marketing at Tingo AI. “This isn’t just a record attempt. This is a cultural revolution powered by Nigerian ingenuity for real measurable impact.”
From April to June, the campaign will mobilize schools, animation clubs, influencers, and creators to join the movement. Participants will use the dedicated AnimNation app to access tutorials, take quizzes, and create their animations — all under a gamified system that rewards creativity, historical accuracy, and impact.
The grand finale will take place from June 5 to 12, with a massive, tech-driven showcase featuring workshops, live animation battles, and the Guinness World Record verification itself.
And at the heart of it all is Tingo AI, pushing boundaries, creating platforms, and proving once again that when Nigerian innovation meets Nigerian spirit, the world takes notice.
