Guinness World Record has divulged that they have received about one thousand five hundred (1,500) applications from Nigerians.
After chef Hilda Baci broke the record for the longest cooking marathon of an individual a few months ago, a lot of Nigerians have jumped on the trend.
There has been a series of marathons to break one record or the other. There has been the longest reading marathon, kissing marathon, sex marathon, other cooking marathons, massaging marathons and many others.
According to reports, Guinness World Record disclosed that after the record of Hilda Baci, there has been a hike in the number of would-be record breakers from Nigeria after receiving 1500 applications.
GWR said, “The attention and excitement that Hilda Baci’s cooking marathon gained was certainly an incentive for many Nigerians to consider attempting a Guinness World Records title. Since her record attempt, there has been a spike in applications from Nigeria, particularly for marathon records.”
