Nigerian entrepreneur and GetFitNg founder, Adekemi Oladipo, popularly known as MainBossChick, is preparing to turn an ambitious Guinness World Records attempt into an opportunity for business empowerment, with plans to support over 200 businesses through grants, education and entrepreneurial resources.
The initiative, tagged BIZ-A-THON, is scheduled to take place from November 17 to 21, 2026, featuring a 100-hour business education marathon aimed at equipping entrepreneurs with practical knowledge and tools to grow sustainable businesses.
Unlike traditional record-breaking attempts centred on personal achievement, Oladipo’s initiative seeks to create meaningful economic opportunities for aspiring and established business owners across Nigeria.
The programme is expected to combine extensive entrepreneurship training with business development resources and financial support, addressing some of the challenges that prevent small businesses from reaching their full potential.
For many Nigerian entrepreneurs, limited access to capital, inadequate business training and operational challenges remain significant barriers to business growth.
Through BIZ-A-THON, Oladipo hopes to bridge these gaps by providing practical lessons that can help entrepreneurs make informed decisions, strengthen their operations and explore opportunities for expansion.
A major highlight of the initiative is the planned provision of grants and business support to more than 200 enterprises, demonstrating a commitment to creating impact beyond the proposed record attempt.
The programme also aims to encourage entrepreneurship as a pathway to financial independence, job creation and economic development.
As the founder of GetFitNg, a Nigerian wellness and fitness business, Oladipo has built her entrepreneurial journey around innovation, determination and business development.
Her experience navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship has inspired her to create a platform where other business owners can access knowledge and resources to strengthen their ventures.
Through BIZ-A-THON, she is extending her influence beyond her own business by creating opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs to learn, develop their skills and pursue sustainable growth.
The initiative reflects the growing importance of business leaders using their experiences and platforms to support emerging entrepreneurs.
While the Guinness World Records attempt is expected to attract public attention, the programme’s broader ambition is to create lasting opportunities for Nigerian businesses.
By combining business education, mentorship opportunities and financial support, BIZ-A-THON seeks to demonstrate how innovative initiatives can contribute to entrepreneurship development.
The proposed 100-hour marathon also highlights the importance of making practical business education more accessible, particularly to individuals who may lack opportunities for structured entrepreneurial training.
As preparations continue ahead of November, Oladipo’s initiative presents an opportunity to connect personal ambition with collective economic progress.
For Adekemi Oladipo, the goal goes beyond breaking a world record. It is about helping entrepreneurs gain the knowledge, confidence and resources needed to build businesses that can thrive long after the 100-hour challenge ends.
