A Nigerian man has reportedly gone partially blind in a bizzare attempt to break Guiness World Records by Crying for 7 Days.
Tembu Ebere cried his eyes out as he tried to bawl for nonstop for a whole week after he began a 100 hour crying marathon .He suffered headaches, a swollen face and puffy eyes before going partially blind for 45 minutes.
Ebere said he was determined to complete his mission and restrategise by reducing his wailing although it wouldn't count since he had not applied to the Guiness World Records.
Guinness World Records has seen a surge in record-breaking attempts from Africa’s most populous nation in recent months, sparked by a chef’s four-day cooking marathon that caught the public attention.
The 26 year-old, Chef Hilda Baci, managed 93 hours 11 minutes, which was enough to break the previous cooking marathon record set in India in 2019.
Her success inspired a wave of similar attempts for activities including the longest time spent singing, praying, and even kissing.
Elsewhere, a masseuse trying to set a massage endurance record collapsed after 50 hours.
Guinness World Records itself has urged Nigerians to go easy and advised hopefuls to liaise with the body, or risk their records not being recognized.
