Nigerian Woman Breaks Guinness World Record With 55-hour Interview Marathon by BuhariCarryGo: 8:13am On Apr 25
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.

Congratulations! Tinubu will also break the record of good governance soon.

Nigeria is rising in glory on daily basis. We will soon take the leadership position globally. We are getting there. If you think her achievement had low impact, think of how easy it is
to have five people of average social status to interview, talk less of having 90 people to interview. It's a super level, dear lady.
