387 vs 167 of the previous title holder. Nlfpmod, is this not commendable?

Nigerian hair stylist Mary Chinonso usually spends her days in the salon making others feel beautiful – but last March, the accomplished braider truly put her hands to the test when attempting the Guinness World Records title for the most heads of hair braided in 24 hours

Ever since she was a child, Mary has loved braiding hair, and she always dreamed that one day she might be able to achieve something honourable with her skills.

Therefore, once she found out about the competitive record title – at the time held by Indian Vasugi Manivannan, claimed after braiding 167 heads of hair in Chennai – she knew she wanted to try her best to take the crown.

“My goal is to prove that with talent, focus, consistency, speed and endurance… inspiration and innovation is born,” she said on Instagram before the event.

So in the early hours of 24 March 2024, Mary arrived at her salon at Cherub Mall in Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria and started preparing for her attempt.

Event organizers and certified witnesses, as well as a slew of volunteers and supporters, showed up early too – along with a long line of women with freshly-washed natural hair, eager for their chance to get their tresses braided and take part in Mary’s quest for a record.

Almost all of them were also wearing Guinness World Records T-shirts, which was a fun way to participate in the spirit of the day and inspire Mary to keep going.

Yet despite the pressure of the event, the determined stylist was confident she could beat the record, saying: “The preparation for this event has started a long time ago – since 10 years ago I engaged fully in hairdressing and styling practices, preparing my body and soul for the challenge of a Guinness World Records title.”

And once she started her task, Mary hardly made any stops – for 24 hours straight, she kept her fingers moving quickly across the scalps of her volunteers, guiding them through the hair wash process and detangling their fresh locks with a comb.

Every four hours, she’d take a quick 20-minute break to relax her body or scarf down some food, then shortly after she’d return to the styling chair, ushering in the next guest with an urgently professional air.

After a model would enter the salon, Mary would escort them over to the hair wash bowl, where she would drench their hair and rub in some shampoo before washing out the bubbles.

She’d then take them over to the styling chair, where she’d plant a palm at the top of their head and use a wide-toothed comb to detangle their hair painlessly, before grabbing three ends of their tresses and twisting them into a neat braid at the back of their neck.

The model would then slide out of their chair and make way for Mary’s next ‘client’, and the hairstylist would repeat the process over and over again for hours.

By the time night approached, it was clear Mary was fatigued but powering through – but her friends and supporters did everything they could to keep her up and going, including playing music on the speakers of the salon, and singing and dancing outside to keep morale up.

But soon enough, Mary’s 387th client was perched in her chair, ready for the final styling of the day!

At the end of those exhausting 24 hours, Mary had braided 387 heads of hair, averaging an incredible rate of one style per every four minutes.

“Our joy knows no bounds,” she posted on Instagram after taking the title. Despite the long day and all the hard work, Mary was incredibly delighted to become an official record holder, saying: “Go, super girl!” on her page, and celebrating with all her loved ones.

Congratulations on this tremendous achievement, Mary – you are Officially Amazing!

All the noises are not necessary. Give us the needed intelligence and ammunition to finish these terrorists and watch how things will change quickly.

How do you share intelligence with a military that actively absorbs terrorists into it's rank and file?

hafeeanubasy:
Shariah law is the customary law of the North!

Its quite unfortunate for you people that its like that.

They apply shariah law to their marital,divorce,inheritance etc just like you have Igbo customary law

Growing up we were taught...

Igbo call God Chukwu
Yoruba call God Oluwa
Hausa call God allah

I have realise that it was all an indoctrination strategy. Hausas have what they call God before Islam cane along. This is nothing but pure domination strategy that has worked so well.

Sharia shouldn't be the customary law for the north same way allah should not be the name for god in the north. North existed long before Islam came around. And there are still a lot of non Muslims there

DelilahMakinde:
He doesn't think in Yoruba either...don't forget to add that.

Many people have governed Lagos who never thought in Yoruba. Lagos is no man's land.

We must sit down and decide on how to live in peace and unity between ourselves despite our differences.

Future impossible tense.

Ezeama400:
China can’t fight US because of Nigeria.. They just want to deceive Tinubu that they care, but what they are after is their business interest

Actually they can fight a proxy war for Nigeria. The battle ground will suffer it. And that's the only way Nigeria will turn to Afghanistan Syria and co. And if that happens guess who would be the major beneficiaries? The same terrorist sponsors.

China didn't make that statement supporting Nigeria by themselves. They were asked to do so by authorities in Nigeria. And these authorities know fully well that any kind of proxy war would mean Nigeria being in tatters. But they're working for the terrorists and their sponsors.

seunowa:
Where in the world has American government been able to restore security before? They went Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan but they left those places more insecure than they met them. Do you know how many people have die in USA to gun violence only in 2025? Over eleven thousand people have die to just gun violence in USA alone in 2025. You can Google it yourself. You are depending on who can't provide security for her own citizens to come and rescue you. ;Dit is purely witchcraft.
If Nigeria government can't provide security for her citizens then no one would....

11k people died in a country of 350m where guns are allowed.

More than that has died in your country with lesser population where guns are not allowed. And you think you just made a slam dunk with this statement? Make that make sense.

Imagine planning to get back into the political scene by antagonizing Igbo people, only for you to fail patapata.

Something everyone succeeds at in this APC regime, e reach your turn, you cast complete.

Lawd whyyyy!!!!

franchasofficia:
Don't mind the jokers.


They would have rolled out their tribal war drums and beating it loud from X, Facebook, etc that Igbos want to take over Lagos and Nigeria to dominate everybody

One is already on top of your post behaving as expected.

Fiscus105:
Coup is extremely difficult to succeed,with the way the man in Aso Rock, appointed military hierarchy and personnel, who are securing him, except if those people betray him, which is almost impossible.

All the coup plotters except 2 are from North, when almost security forces in Nigeria, headed by Yorubas.

Even if that bloody coup, succeeded, those involved won't still be President, because of several people that are still way above them.
Those guys would have subdued them and became the beneficiaries.

Why risking your life for thing you will not enjoy ultimately, if it eventually succeed ?

But ironsi subdued the coup, therefore becoming the beneficiary, like you said, and yet Nigerians won't take his name out of their mouths.

Na Spy...They have sent her to gather Intel


She should be watched with caution


Taqquiya at its finest

Nah, she committed a lot of apostasy. As she is, she's a walking dead. Imagine saying Allah is a psychopath god. Lolz. Taqqiyaa get levels bro

Nwaikpe:
I thought those Iran-supporting, China-propaganda-palestine-screaming African coup supporters said that Mali is fast turning into America because of the coup?

Abi it ain't that any more?

They have done a 180 because some tried to test the coup on their personal lord and savior Tinubu.

hotseat:
At the height of the killings in Plateau, Benue, Southern Kaduna, etc, these insidious enemies were fervently praying in their hearts for their evil predictions to come through.

Seeing that the large-scale killings in those places are gradually reducing, they are now bringing up the issue of "Christian genocide" as a bait to instigate a religious war.

@hotseat

I can see you craftily omitted who were killing, and who were getting killed in the first paragraph.

You're not an honest person. Who were getting killed in those places you mentioned?

JustPowerApps:
They are trying hard to cause a scene in Nigeria so as to gain control of our oil

Texas has more oil than onshore and offshore Nigeria combined.

MockingBird:
No offence o but if you are a man, I need to ask if you are normal. How can a man sit down and pee?
What is wrong with you?

Feminists have been advocating for men to pee sitting. I guess he's One of their simp victims.

LordIsaac:
Still. $9.6B per annum for a public servant is nothing short of dictatorship cum grand corruption.

There's a difference between public servant and a king. Don't get it twisted.

Gotocourt:
Remove money from the church and see if people would want to be clerics 🤷🏿

People would. There are those who genuinely want to serve. I'm not talking of pentecostal pastors. As I am not a pentecostal adherent.

There are monasteries and nunneries. The monks and nuns live without money. They exist even today. Those are your first examples.

dermmy:
Oga park well. The purpose of the "operation rising Lion" was to effect a regime change in Iran and "cut the head of the snake" in Netanyahus word but it failed miserably. The massive and unexpected retaliation Iran launched with its deadly missiles made Israel sue for a ceasefire that was not part of Israel calculation. Iran nuclear program is still alive and very active. Israel and US failed miserably. Regardless of the generals or scientists who died in Ira, the operation failed. No be today mossad dey carry out attack in Iran.

Ayatollah Khomeini will die at the very start of the next war. Every serious successor will not enjoy up to 24hrs. Wanna bet?

dermmy:
Missiles that couldn't subdue Iran. Missiles that make you seek ceasefire from your opponents.

Sought cease fire after killing all their enemies top generals, and having their friend decapitate their enemies nuclear bomb program.

Cease fire spearheaded by same friend after success is what you're consoling yourself with. Lol.

chukwutee:
So because they killed 3millions of your fathers and mothers without any consequences makes you tag them your slaves masters?? They are not your god now, you just need to appease to your master in southwest, they will help your region to curtail them.

But you're the one bearing your Igbo master's name here naa. It's either they own you, or you're obsessed with them. One clear fact is that they control you.

Will Ned be happy & willing to marry off his teenage daughter to an Ancestor.

If Not, then why marry Regina.

Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You

Did he force Regina?

Sirjamo:
Would igbos agree their people planned a coup or would they be trying to blame Awolowo who was in prison, like they did in 1966?

But yourself and your president has refused to confirm or publicise the coup plotters and their names, to give the northerners a chance to agree or disagree, or even to blame awolowo who is rotting in the ground.

MarketDispatch:
I am yet to see America do something like this.

Dilute their Military professionalism

ZombieDredd:
Nigeria is known for retiring her generals too early.
Reasons best known to them

No one loves Nigeria. Both me, you, the military personnels and the other ones doing the dilution.

Auxtan:
An evil fornicator that brings more souls to God than not doing anything at all might just have a soft spot in God's heart. When this evil fornicator combines it with purity, then this evil fornicator will become unstoppable in God's kingdom.

This is the thought process of jihadists.

.
If Igbo officers were behind the coup plot, would the Tinubu government be denying it for them, or would they amplify it to stoke further ethnic division?.

Would they keep it a secret, or would they broadcast the names and states of the actors?

Would onanuga and other aides bend over backwards to deny that the actions taken by the presidency, as a consequence of the coup plot, do so, or would they launch huge tribal attacks on all social media platforms?

Would supporters of the president continue covering up the coup, or would they call for genocide on the people of Igbo extraction?

Im glad you admitted even Kanu is fighting for his pocket

Biafra. He said an average Nigerian has no rights. Read well.

They will soon come tell you of Elon Musk and Ned (their fav). Men who are the top percentile and have access to the best healthcare.

If Precious FFK and the late Alaafin's young wives didn't tell us their multiple births were via IVF, they would have kept using them as example.

Fertility clinics all over the world favours young people __ e get why. So everyone can choose to lie to themselves. But the older you get, sha keep enough money on ground. You will need it.

2% mutation at age 30 to 5% mutation at age 70 is what you're popping champagne over? SMH

cococandy:
We know. They’ve just been gaslighting us and projecting onto us.

2% mutation at age 30 to 5% at age 70 is what you're rejoicing over? SMH

zero8zero:
If 7 million people could come out back to back across the states including furloughed civil servants, Trump is finished.

But you're against even one person coming out in a peaceful protest against your personal lord and savior Tinubu.

Millions marched in over 2700 locations, yet no violence and no arrests. Una no go see this one use as example. Always waiting for the bad ones .
