These people should be commended with this feat.

Please, what are the benefits and financial gain of this Guinness Book of Record.

Incomplete...what about Skyfornia? The guy that has drank tea and bread daily for thirty something years...put him on that map please.

And Buhari that have been breaking negative records back to back isn't there. fake list without the lifeless Buhari.

Op pls add one more person there, cos his records pass that of guinness....


Pa Buhari, caused hardship to Nigerians in 1983, and repeated it in 2020.

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
