Guinness World Records (GWR) the official authority for endorsing record breakers across the globe has issued a strong warning to Nigerians and indeed everyone attempting to break any record or ‘record-a-thon’ promoters to first get the record title approval from its team before embarking on it.
GWR is a British reference book published annually, listing world records both of human achievements and the extremes of the natural world.
According to a GWR official
Twitter handle, the statement said, “Please Enough with the record-a-thons.”
It states further; “We love the record-a-thon enthusiasm but we would suggest getting a record title approved by our team before attempting these marathon records!”
Earlier in July, GWR has advised prospective record breakers to properly confirm with the Guinness team before attempting to break any world record.
“Polite reminder that you should probably have your world record title confirmed by our team before attempting it,” GWR tweeted.
Recalled that early last month, Ekiti born Chef Dammy Adeparusi set the ball rolling after she recorded 120 hours of cooking claiming to have broken 93 hours 11 minutes record.
GWR may have put a stop to the new craze by Nigerian youths to want to outdo one another in setting GWR records
