Clara Chizoba Kronborg Breaks Guinness Record With 55-Hour Interview Marathon by Islie: 10:46pm On Apr 24
Nigerian social media entrepreneur Clara Chizoba Kronborg has broken the world record for the longest interviewing marathon with a time of 55 hours 24 seconds.

The previous record was 37 hours 44 minutes by Rob Oliver (USA) in 2022.

Clara, who hosts a talk show on YouTube, interviewed 90 people of various nationalities and occupations, including politicians, business owners, content creators, actors, real estate agents and many others, the Guinness World Records revealed on Wednesday.

According to GWR, the conversations were centred around how each guest achieved success in their respective field.

It noted that Clara grew up in relative poverty in Onitsha, Nigeria, which fuelled her fascination with the concept of success.

Clara was quoted as saying: “This record attempt was about bringing together diverse individuals, sharing their inspiring narratives, and forging meaningful connections on a global scale.

“I am committed to amplifying voices, particularly those of hardworking women, and using their stories to inspire others facing similar challenges.”

Clara’s record attempt took place on a docked yacht in the Spanish city of Marbella, where she currently lives.

In addition to the usually sunny harbour being struck by a heavy rainstorm, Clara faced several difficulties during her record attempt.

She says her voice became “very hoarse and rusty” but she avoided losing it by drinking lots of water.

A report by GWR said, “As with all ‘longest marathon’ record attempts, Clara accrued five minutes of rest time after each hour of interviewing; only during these breaks was she permitted to nap, change her clothes, or go to the bathroom.

“So, to compensate for the large volume of water she was consuming, Clara wore adult diapers throughout her record attempt.”

“Even worse, my period started the same day, and I was already having intense menstrual cramps,” she revealed.

“At some point I was literally dripping pee and period stain, but I persevered and kept my eyes on the goal. To anyone who ever reads this, once you find your purpose, go after it with everything you’ve got.”

Clara also reportedly suffered neck and back aches, which her team relieved with massages during her rest breaks.

The report said she also struggled with sleepiness at multiple points but according to her, she gained a “battery recharge” every time she began interviewing a new guest, as she was eager to hear their story.

Enduring all the hardships was worth it for Clara, who says it feels “surreal” to now hold this world record.

“Recalling everything I went through physically, mentally, financially, emotionally – it feels so unreal,” she said.

“I am extremely proud of this accomplishment because I know lives have been touched and changed.

“This achievement is dedicated to all those who dare to dream and persist, regardless of the challenges they face.”

Clara’s achievement comes a few days after fellow Nigerian, Tunde Onakoya, set a new Guinness World Record for the longest marathon chess.

Onakoya on Wednesday recounted how he cancelled his flight returning to Nigeria from the United States to embark on the chess marathon.

He also noted that he walked to the chess board with sickness, tears in his eyes, fear and uncertainty.

Onakoya said that two days before the record attempt, his health failed him, and it was so bad that he started sneezing blood and coughing violently but he was resolute to embark on the attempt to set a new record.

“After 60 hours of mental torture, we set a new record for the longest chess marathon in the world. We pushed human limitation and gave the world something new to believe in,” he said.

The challenge was held at New York City’s iconic Times Square.

Guinness World Records go don taya with Nigerians grin

All those talking down the achievements, if e easy, run am make we see. I can't understand why anybody will criticise a feat, they can't attain (that is jealousy and envy if you ask me). This is a good thing and we should continue until Nigerian names make up at least 98 percent of that book, at least our image that has so been bastardized would be cleaned up a little.

Meanwhile,

Let your character preach the gosple of repentance and remission of sins to all.

Everything you need in this life is in Jesus, forsake your sinful ways, pray, read the Bible and stay close and he will grant you your heart desires.

What do you need? Wisdom, riches, blessing, honour? You can get them all in Christ Jesus:

Rev.5.12 - saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!"

Everyone wants to break a record! It's even interesting that these people have to pay between $5 and $1,000 for this recognition and get nothing else in return.
