..........Stephen Keshi broke the Guinness World Record when he emerged as the youngest person to win the Africa Cup of Nations as a player........
*******
This is false. Keshi won the AFCON trophy as a player in 1994 and he was 31. Henry Nwosu was just 18 in 1980 when Nigeria won her first AFCON trophy on home soil which makes him the youngest Nigerian player to win the AFCON. The likes of Okocha and Oliseh were 19/20 when Nigeria won the 1994 AFCON.

You mean someone danced for 52 hours and 3 mins without stopping? Or do you mean 52 mins and 3 seconds?
That's two and a half days! Surely, she must feel the need to pee, eat, sleep etc.
I am not believing that!

Nonsense,
Bunch of mediocrity. Almost all of them did easy things just to get into the record book like painting large newspaper which can be done by anybody because the record never said that the painting was unrealistically attractive. Just painting.
Another stupidity is dancing for a long time. Like are you kidding me? Just shaking your body. Anyone with enough stamina can do that just that most people see it as a thing of shame to enter the record with such average mediocrity.
The only reasonable records there are that of Stephen Keshi, Tuedon Morgan and David Omueya.
The rest are just records of gabbage set just to enter book. No wonder most of them are broken within seconds of being set.
For your information anything can be on record, whether shameful events or extraordinary
Go and do your own easy thing first and make it into book of records. Talkative, empty barrel.

The OP didn't do his/her research well, he also didn't add Efe Ajagba the Nigerian boxer

I expect my name to be there.


I broke about 500 plates in one day as a kid.

We were playing football close to a plate shop. I was the keeper. The ball went past me and I wanted to go and pick it. It rolled under the table of the plate seller. Mama seller dey inside shop I entered under the table and somehow my head banged against the table. Wrogogogo gbasssss!

All the plates fell on the ground. And I managed to escape.

So terrible!


grin

But I think I should win a different record. The best liar in Africa because that story never happened.

Happy new week.
