16-Year-Old Kanye Tagbo-Okeke Shatters Guinness Cycling Record in Ride for Autism
Kanyeyachukwu “Kanye” Tagbo-Okeke has earned his second Guinness World Record at just 16. He cycled 100 miles in Abuja on 14 March 2026, becoming the youngest person ever to complete that distance. He then launched the “Ride for Autism,” covering 687 kilometres through seven states in nearly three weeks. His journey culminated in Lagos on 2 April, World Autism Awareness Day, where he received his official certificate. The Minister of Arts, Culture and Tourism and the Lagos State Governor praised Kanye’s endurance and pledged ₦200 million to autism advocacy and his foundation. Kanye first made Guinness history in 2025 with the largest single-person painting, titled “Impossibility is a Myth.” A non-verbal autistic artist and sports advocate, Kanye now stands alongside notable Nigerians like Hilda Baci and Tunde Onakoya in the record books.
