Nigerian man , Babajide Israel Adebanjo has set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest duration of twerking.
The GWR confirmed this achievement on its official website, stating that Adebanjo accomplished this feat by twerking for three hours and 30 minutes in Lagos.
According to GWR, Babajide’s motivation for attempting this record was personal, as he aimed to step out of his comfort zone and raise awareness for individuals worldwide who are struggling with depression.
Babajide’s message is that no record is unattainable, regardless of its magnitude. He hopes to demonstrate that any achievement is within reach, no matter how significant or unique.
This new accomplishment has sparked various reactions on social media, with some commending his dedication and others expressing surprise at the unusual nature of the record.
This achievement follows the recent trend of Nigerians striving to break world records in various aspects of life, such as the previous record set by Hilda Baci for the longest cook-a-thon.
Additionally, Fola David, a Nigerian doctor and visual artist, also broke the existing Guinness World Record (GWR) for the world’s largest drawing by an individual.
